“Even though I have the chance to meet Mr. York at gatherings occasionally, I wouldn’t intentionally try to flatter or ingratiate myself with him, but I also wouldn’t dare to offend him. Despite his naturally cold and aloof demeanor, he is a reasonable man. He wouldn’t create difficulties for us without reason.
“Now I realize that Shawn is the issue. He must have fallen for Serenity a long time ago, right? He didn’t confess his feelings to her before her rushed marriage, but he did so afterward, and he continues to cling to her. What’s the point of that?”
Mrs. Lowe let out a heavy sigh.
“Exactly. What’s the point? I never approved of him and Serenity as a couple in the first place. Serenity and Jasmine share a very close bond, and I’ve watched Serenity grow up. I don’t dislike her, but being a niece is not the same as being a daughter-in-law.
“The daughter-in-law I envision comes from a distinguished family. Aside from her looks, Serenity lacks any particularly impressive qualities at this time. While she makes some money, she isn’t in Shawn’s league. The Lowes are a wealthy family, so naturally, our daughter-in-law should come from a family of equal status.
“Only by marrying a young woman from a wealthy family can Shawn benefit. Serenity isn’t able to assist him in any meaningful way. Even if we were willing to help her make a strong impression in the industry, she would still just be a daughter-in-law. Who can guarantee that if she gets together with Shawn now, she will spend the rest of her life with him? What if we end up nurturing an ungrateful partner?
“No matter how much I try to advise him, he won’t listen. Serenity is likely his first love, and it’s always difficult to forget one’s first love.”
Mr. Lowe replied, “Regardless of what Serenity thinks, we can’t allow Shawn to continue like this. We must make him move on.”
Wiltspoon should keep his distance from Serenity; he will eventually get over it.
“Otherwise, if this situation continues, something significant is bound to escalate. Mr. York does not have a good temperament. He hasn’t dealt us a fatal blow yet, likely because of Serenity. She has a good relationship with Jasmine, whom he usually treats like a niece. He’s probably afraid that if he completely destroys Lowe Enterprise and Serenity learns the truth, she will hold him accountable.”
“If Shawn keeps bothering Serenity, and Mr. York finds out, he will not show us any mercy.”
“Where should we send Shawn?” Mrs. Lowe inquired.
She was silently grateful that she had always treated Serenity with kindness.
No matter what happens, it’s essential to leave yourself an escape route.
