Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 879 – What a Fool My Brother is!
Knowing he was not able to get the answer from Tina, Terry could only leave in a deflated and sullen mood. Watching him disappearing from her sight, Tina got the gentle smile on her face replaced by a look of hollow apathy.
Marlena went out from the corner at that moment, sneering at the direction of Terry, “What a fool my brother is!” In fact, Marlena could be anything but a fool, growing up in such a rich yet complicated family. A real simpleton could have died one thousand times there.
Terry was only stupid enough to think Marlena too innocent to be his threat. He just forgot she was the dearest daughter of Tina anyway. There was a faint note of emotion in Tina’s hollow eyes only when she was facing her daughter. Tina nodded. Indeed, my dear, he just can’t be more stupid.”
Mother.’ Marlena went closer to Tina and rested herself in her mother’s arms in a cutesy way, though being a bit shy at the demand she was going to raise. “I’m now determined to claim my rights of Smith family. The coalition will be mine.’
She thought she could thus get Joe a place as soon as she took over the coalition, and she believed that would make Joe fall in love with her out of his
gratitude.
Thinking of the prospect that she was to obtain the heart of such a perfect man via the series of plans, she just couldn’t help smiling out of heartfelt
happiness. A hint of amazement flickered on Marlena’s poker face, as she heard her daughter’s demand.
She immediately held Marlena into her arms tighter. “My darling daughter, you finally agree to my suggestion!” Tina had sworn to give her
dearest daughter the best thing in the world, including Cardiff Business Coalition.
Becoming the heiress of the Smith family and taking charge of the coalition would only secure a better life for Marlena.
But Marlena just showed no interest in her mother’s suggestion before, for she thought that too demanding a burden to shoulder.
And now, since Marlena finally
nodded, due to whatever reason, Tina was resolved to help Marlena ascend the
throne with whatever price.
It seemed to be quite a harmonious scene when the two women hugged in the
orange light of the declining sun, yet no one could detect what a vicious
conspiracy they were up to inside them.
Terry returned to his room with a dark face in rage. Tina’s intervention was what
infuriated him, when she was such a tough role that she had made him rather
miserable some ten years before.
But fortunately, Tina hadn’t really meddled in
his business when he returned to Smith family even when he was coveting the
position of the heir of the family.
As everything was going smoothly, he even
believed he was to have the property of the family as well as the coalition under
his belt before long. Yet Tina just butted in at such a crucial moment.
Terry had to think hard on the reason for the drastic change of Tina’s attitude. It
finally dawned on him how Marlena was badgering Joe that day.
Terry squinted
his eyes, as he realized this was the first time Marlena had a hand in his
business for the sake of a man although she had so many men. So Marlena
really lost her heart to Joe this time?
