Chapter 512
Lisa's eyes gleamed with ambition. "Kash Shaw, simply known as Kash, is already 30, but he's been immersed in the military life since his youth, attending a top-notch military academy. Word is, he's held a high-ranking position for years and is well-regarded by the top brass. Just a couple of weeks ago, he was appointed as the Regional Director in Eldridge City. It's a role with genuine power, similar to that of a mayor, and he's the youngest ever to take it on. His career prospects are limitless."
Jacob was taken aback.
Lisa continued, "You must've heard of Isaac Shaw, the rising star in the business world. He made waves a few years back by founding ISC Technology, creating the most popular social media platform online, along with a few hit gaming apps that took the world by storm. He's raked in a fortune and, in just a few years, climbed to fifth place on the global young billionaires list, just behind Connor."
Lisa's eyes sparkled with admiration. "What's most impressive is that he built it all from the ground up, without leaning on the Shaw family's traditional business. Of course, he's now managing their enterprises too. In my eyes, he's every bit as brilliant as Connor."
"Parker Shaw is a bit of an enigma; there's not much info on him. All we know is he's twin brothers with Wayne Shaw. Wayne, as you might know, is a global superstar, the most adored Asian face in Hollywood, and was recently up for an Oscar for Best Actor. Even though he doesn't work locally, he has a massive global fanbase, outshining even national stars like Juztin."
Lisa's excitement was palpable. "Dad, forget being the Shaw family's goddaughter-I want to be their daughter-in-law. Any of the four Shaw sons would be fine, but Kash is my top choice. Even at thirty, he's a real power player. Marrying him would elevate our Meadows family beyond measure." Leah couldn't help but interject, "Lisa, get real. The Shaw family is out of our league. Don't set yourself up for a fall by dreaming too big."
Lisa bristled. "If Chloe, who's just pretending to be a rich girl, can marry into the Sartori family, why can't I marry into the Shaw family? The Meadows family is quite a name in Riverbrook. You just favor her over me."
"Lisa, try to be more practical and quit daydreaming."
"Alright, alright, let's not bicker," Jacob chimed in. "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general isn't a good soldier. It's great that Lisa has ambition. And who knows? Love is unpredictable. Why not give it shot? If it works out, we all win. If not, no big deal."
He then advised Lisa, "For the Shaw family's dinner party the day after tomorrow, make sure you're
well-prepared. Get yourself somet
beautiful outfits and jewelry. If you need extra cash, draw from the company accounts. I'm giving you the green light this time."
Lisa was thrilled. "Dad, I promise I won't let you down."
On the flip side, Chloe had just hung up the phone when Teddy walked in, looking serious. He seemed to have something important to say but hesitated upon seeing Chloe.
Connor caught on quickly. "Spill it. My wife isn't an outsider."NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Teddy finally spoke up, "The Gilbert family couldn't get ahold of you, so they called the office. Diana was in a car accident, a pretty bad one. She's been in the ICU, fighting for her life for over a day. Luckily, she pulled through, but..."
