As she contemplated the situation, she quickly introduced her eldest son, saying, “This is my son, Christopher.”
Kenneth gave a slight nod to Christopher, but his interest seemed minimal.
Next, Lady Wilson turned to Harold, introducing him with a smile. “Chairman Wilson, this is my grandson, Harold.”
In a rush, Harold greeted him, “Hello, Chairman Wilson! I hope to be in your good graces in the future!”
Kenneth merely nodded and kept his gaze fixed on Wendy, despite Lady Wilson not having introduced her yet.
Finally, Lady Wilson beamed as she presented Wendy to Kenneth. “Chairman Wilson, this is my granddaughter, Wendy.”
Upon hearing this, Kenneth let out a huge sigh of relief.
This was his first visit to the Wilson family, and he had been anxious about whether Wendy might be Harold’s wife. If that were the case, his plans would be thwarted.
However, realizing that she was also part of the Wilson family ignited a spark of excitement within Kenneth.
While Wendy might not be the most stunning person in the world, she certainly had her own charm. After all, Gerald from the White family had shown interest in her.
It was unfortunate that Wendy had always found herself overshadowed by Claire, who was renowned as one of the most beautiful individuals in the Wilson family and across Aurous Hill. This left Wendy with little opportunity to shine on her own.
Yet, with Claire absent and Wendy’s eyes and nose reddened from crying, a protective instinct stirred within Kenneth.
Noticing Kenneth’s interest in Wendy, Lady Wilson quickly added, “Chairman Wilson, Wendy is twenty-four years old and still single. If you know any suitable young men, please consider introducing them to her.”
In truth, Lady Wilson wasn’t genuinely seeking an introduction; she was hinting that her granddaughter was still available, and Kenneth might have a chance if he desired!
This suggestion was particularly tempting for Kenneth.
As he grew older and his wife aged as well, he had lost interest in her long ago.
With his wife not accompanying him to Aurous Hill, Kenneth saw this as an opportunity to indulge himself. If he could take this chance to have some fun with Wendy, it would be a delightful turn of events.
As these thoughts crossed his mind, Kenneth reached out to Wendy with a smile, saying, “Miss Wendy, you are so lovely! How is it that you don’t have a boyfriend?”
It would have been better if he had kept quiet; the moment he spoke, Wendy’s eyes filled with tears again.
She felt a wave of sadness wash over her.
The Wilson family was in turmoil, and she feared losing everything she had ever desired. Gerald treated her like an outcast, avoiding her at all costs. He refused to marry her, and wouldn’t even meet her requests for a conversation.
Feeling desolate, she couldn’t help but compare herself to her cousin Claire, who seemed to be thriving. A plethora of wealthy and influential people had attended Claire’s opening ceremony. How could Wendy not feel a surge of anger and frustration?
Seeing Wendy in tears again made Kenneth feel a pang of distress. He quickly asked, “Oh, why are you crying, Miss Wendy?”
Lady Wilson interjected, “Didn’t I mention that our family is facing a significant crisis? Wendy has a deep attachment to our family business, and she’s upset because it seems the Wilson Group might go bankrupt! For the past few days, she has been pleading with me to help save the company, but as an elderly woman, what can I do? I can only watch helplessly as my beloved granddaughter weeps in despair…”
Kenneth did not hesitate and responded, “Miss Wendy, if you need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me! I’m quite capable and would be glad to help you.”
