Capítulo 2243: Chapter 2255: True Love and Aversion
Marie Wellington’s sudden kneeling shocked not only Mr. Wellington but also the Jenkins family.
Even the Jenkins family did not expect Marie to go to such lengths for Sophie Jenkins.
In the past, when Mandy Jenkins was Marie’s wife, the Jenkins family didn’t gain any tangible benefits.
But ever since Sophie Jenkins beca involved with Marie Wellington, the Jenkins family indeed reached new heights of fortune, truly experiencing the benefits of marrying their daughter into the Wellington family.
Given Marie’s consistent ‘affection’ for Sophie Jenkins, kneeling for her was indeed nothing substantial.
After all, compared to the ever-growing and solidifying Wellington family, the Jenkins family had been in decline over the years.
If not for the cal being bigger than a horse even when starved, and the surface appearance of the Jenkins family still being large and prosperous, and having the Wellington family as in-laws, they might have already been devoured by other families.
And now, with Sophie Jenkins tying the knot with Marie Wellington, a slew of incompetent relatives, who could only loaf around at ho, were able to seize key positions within the Wellington family.
Jonas Jenkins, Sophie’s elder brother and a notorious playboy, now even holds a position in the Wellington family’s board of directors.
But that’s the Wellington family’s board of directors, not the Jenkins family’s board!
Tales like these sound absolutely ridiculous and laughable.
Yet, Marie Wellington adores Sophie Jenkins to the extent of making such mindless moves.
Sophie Jenkins savored the feeling of being ‘pampered’ by Marie Wellington. The pallor on her face receded slightly, as she couldn’t believe that after all this, Mr. Wellington could still deny them.
However, Sophie Jenkins was unaware, as was the Jenkins family.
They believed that Marie Wellington was truly entranced by Sophie Jenkins, as he indeed enjoyed her noble status and the fact that she could accompany him to various places.
In reality, his actions, apart from ‘true love,’ harbored yet another motive.
Over these years, Marie Wellington had grown increasingly irked by Mandy Jenkins, long wanting to kick her out and essentially disgust her.
Why did he despise her?
It wasn’t because Mandy Jenkins, in her youth, fancifully hoped for his undivided affection, nor because of her relentless pestering when she still harbored hope.
He despised Mandy Jenkins for giving birth to such a capable son, Dylan Wellington.
So capable that the old man bypassed him, handing the reigns of the Wellington family directly over to Dylan Wellington!
Even though Dylan Wellington was his biological son, Marie Wellington couldn’t swallow this indignation.
He was Mr. Wellington’s son, the rightful heir, and he could pass the family business to Dylan Wellington, but he couldn’t tolerate the old man bypassing him to ntor Dylan directly.
Being the forsaken one, Marie Wellington had been waiting for an opportunity all these years.
However, Dylan Wellington was too formidable, much more so than he anticipated.
What Marie Wellington didn’t anticipate was that his opportunity arose shortly after eting Sophie Jenkins.
Dylan Wellington had suddenly gone missing for several months and had not appeared to date.
To Marie Wellington, this was the perfect opportunity, his best chance to reclaim the Wellington family inheritance.
So now, Marie Wellington knelt, steadfastly.
He knew his pri opportunity had co.
Mr. Wellington was utterly furious at Marie Wellington’s conduct.
Clutching his chest, he stood up and raised his cane.
“You… you… unfilial son! A man’s dignity is priceless, yet you kneel for sothing like this… you…”
The cane, raised high, veered off course at the last mont, just before it was about to land on Marie Wellington’s back.
‘Thud—’
The cane hit the ground.
Mr. Wellington’s body paused, and he fainted.
