Chapter 657
Brenda was just itching for Stephanie to marry into the Ingram family. As a woman who was initially kept as a mistress, only to be legitimized after giving birth to a son, she herself didn't come from any notable family background. If some high society lady were to become the matriarch of the Ingram family, she'd surely be suffocated by the pressure.
But if Stephanie, who came from a normal family, were to join, it wouldn't pose a threat to her.
So far, Stephanie had been fairly good to her, accepted her gifts, and was even willing to call her 'grandma'.
Just for that, Brenda wouldn't start any conflicts with Stephanie.
Did Brenda think he didn't know what she was up to?
He was no fool.
His eyes darkened slightly. He arched an eyebrow and said, "So, should I respond?"
"Anything's better than not responding at all. Otherwise, people will think we don't like her because she's an actress!"
He couldn't care less!
But he might as well listen to Brenda; after all, she'd been putting up with him for years.
As long as she didn't ask for anything outrageous, he was willing to listen to the woman who had been by his side for so many years.
But when it came to family matters, Brenda's words meant squat.
Jaxon was a shrewd man. Silently, he commented under Stephanie's post, "Okay."
Then he went back to browsing others' posts.
He increasingly felt he was falling behind the times.
There are many celebrities on social media platforms, even the authors of his favorite novels when he was young would occasionally post updates.
So he started getting more into it, it kept him entertained at home, and he stopped constantly looking for ways to annoy Sebastian. Most of the time, he was on his phone.
Brenda's most frequently said phrase became "Old man, mind your eyes."
On the other side, Stephanie was cracking up when she saw the reply.
"This old man didn't even acknowledge me before! I wonder what Sebastian said to him; he seems to be okay with me now."
Alison said with envy, "The scariest thing isn't being fancied by a CEO. It's being accepted by the CEO's family! That's just too enviable!"NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
Stephanie laughed and said, "All thanks to Sebastian. This old man didn't agree with me marrying Sebastian before."
Alison reminded her, "Ms. Bishop,
mind your manners. You're
practically grinning! Remember, you
have to keep up the poor-me act! If President Ingram still holds a grudge, you're done for."
Stephanie immediately stopped laughing and rolled around on the bed, "Do really have to pretend I'm seriously upset. I've lost so much weight And these dark circles, how many eye masks will I need to fix
this?!"
"Oh yeah, forgot to tell you. Gracie called me this afternoon, saying a few advertising companies, some quite famous, want you to be their spokesperson!"
Stephanie's eyes lit up, "Really? So is this a blessing in disguise?"
Even after being criticized for so long, could she still make money?
"Definitely! You've gained millions of followers and your popularity has spread People remember you even if they haven't watched your shows! So, Ms. Bishop, are you gonna shoot some commercials?"
"Yes! I want to make money, lots and lots of money, to spend on Sebastian!"
Sebastian, who was just about to enter the room, happened to hear this. His initially gloomy face softened considerably.
