Win Your Heart

Chapter 110 Make A Match

"What's wrong? Why are you being so mysterious? If you have something to tell me, just tell me. We're friends." Grace found that she had become more and more devious with Connie recently. Not knowing why, after the "family dinner" that day, Connie seemed to be angry with her. She didn't often came to the mansion but talked in a unfriendly tone. Today, Connie asked Grace out because she thought Connie had calmed down. Grace didn't expect Connie's words to be so moving.

With a worried look on Connie's face, she handed her phone to Grace and urged, "get yourself ready."

Grace took the phone and saw the headline on the website. This news directly revealed many Sophia's private affairs. She also saw her son's photo. As expected, Grace's face darkened. With a livid face, she threw the phone on the table violently.

"Oh my God! My dear Grace! Please don't do that. I've told you to prepare yourself for it." Connie picked up the phone and checked if there was anything wrong with it. She then pretended to comfort Grace and said, "you don't have to pay too much attention to it. After all, a lot of news are trying to attract some attention that we didn't know it was true or not... However, as the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire. If there is no such thing, the reporters dare not write it so abruptly... " It seemed that Connie was speaking in Sophia's way, but she was actually hinting that Sophia wasn't simple!

"This is an illegitimate daughter and her superior position. The reporters are really disrespectful. How can they let this little girl be seen in the future?" Connie turned on her cell phone again and said while watching the news.

"She want to see someone? It's not easy to plot against such a young girl like Sophia! She is so shameless and still wants to see people?" Enraged, Grace spluttered. She had thought that she might have a prejudice against an outsider when Victor fought with her for Sophia. 'Now it seems that I have thought too much!' Sophia was just a bad woman! A woman who was eager to cling to power and influence could be sparrow flying on the branch to become a phoenix one day!

Connie offered a cup of ice coffee and put it in front of Grace's mouth. "Calm down. It's not worthwhile to get angry for such a woman. Drink some coffee first," Connie said, trying to coax her. In fact, Connie already had some pride in herself.

Her plan went so smoothly that she believed it wouldn't take long for Xiao family to get familiar with Sophia. No matter how hard Victor tried, Xiao family's fame wouldn't allow Sophia to go in.

"I don't know why Victor would be infatuated with such a woman and revolt me in public. He is so unreasonable!" The more Grace said, the angrier she became. Then, she snatched the phone from Connie, pointed at the news and said, "look at what they wrote. The CEO of the YS Group can't resist the temptation of women, so he changed the seat for the woman whose surname is Sophia. They work together every day... '"

"Why did these journalists write this? It's ridiculous!" Connie pretended to be angry and felt wronged for Victor and Sophia.

Grace tried to calm herself down after taking a few deep breaths, but she was too angry to control her emotions. "It's them who have no sense of shame! How dare they... "

Grace was really enraged by Victor's behaviour this time. She didn't care if Victor would make a fuss about Sophia in the past. After all, it didn't matter as long as Xiao family lived together. But now, they dared to hit the front page of the news! In the information age, people could know all the news in the world without leaving their houses.

Xiao family was a family business which was well-known not only in S City, but also in the whole country and even in the world. But now, the heir of Xiao family was not because of the headline of the enterprise strength, but because of romantic news, which would make others laugh at it? The reputation of Xiao family's generation was almost ruined by this unfilial son Victor!

When Grace thought of this, she felt angry and guilty. She felt guilty to all of Xiao family's ancestors...

"Grace, don't just get angry. They have not got married yet and they have become the headline of this kind of thing. If they get married in the future, is it going to meet everyone in entertainment news every two or three days?" Connie intentionally changed the topic of conversation to Sophia, which made Grace feel more disgusted with Sophia.

"Get married? We Xiao family are not detainment, take in all kinds of women! " When Grace spoke, there was a softness in her voice. She took hold of Connie's hand, and said with guilt, "Teresa is the only daughter-in-law that I have accepted. It's really a pity for that foolish boy to have abandoned Teresa..." After comparing Teresa and Sophia to each other, Grace was more and more fond of Teresa.

Connie sighed and replied, "I don't dare to tell Teresa about it, but no matter what, I'll try my best to keep it from her. I thought she would be so sad that she can't help it. I didn't expect that the silly girl would say something like 'how is Victor now'. Is he feeling bad now? She does really like Victor since childhood... " When Connie spoke, she observed the expression on Grace's face.

Grace shook her head and said firmly, "don't worry. It's late now. I won't let Victor disappoint Teresa. Let's go back." When Grace checked the time, it was almost dinner time. Since she knew about the news, she was not in the mood to stay outside so leisurely as before.

Grace knew well about Victor's personality. Her ways of deterrence didn't work on him at all. On the contrary, they made him more rebellious. So, Grace decided to go home and discuss it with Karl.

***

When Grace arrived home, it was already dinner time. After that, she told Karl what she had heard from Connie.

After hearing the story, Karl threw his chopsticks on the table heavily. Karl's face suddenly changed. He said with resentment, "I thought that Victor was a smart boy. I didn't expect that he fall the trap about

love!" Karl flew into a rage. It was the first time for Grace to know that Victor didn't live up to Karl's expectations.

But Karl was right. Victor was the only son of his parents. Victor grew up with a great talent that his parents had nothing to worry about. Karl once believed that Victor was the undeniable heir of the YS Group, but from the current situation, it was not the case.

Terence and Miranda had flown a long way back to Xiao family. Last time, they also said they wanted their son to come back to Xiao family. At this critical moment, the most profitable people could imagine that Victor was involved in this case.

When Karl the expectant look on his face, his brows almost shot up in fury. He had always placed great hopes on Victor, and he couldn't bear to see his son suffer like this. It was not easy for him to consolidate the power that Karl had acquired, then it would be hand over to someone else by this unfilial son. Thinking of this, Karl put more strength on his hand, as if to crush the glass.

When Grace saw the indignant look on Karl's face, she got even more worried. Now all she wanted was to help Victor up. "What should we do? We can't just watch him fall into the water," she said.

With a sigh, Karl's anger totally disappeared from his face. He said in a calm voice, "we have to find a way to make Victor suffer a little..."

Hearing Karl's words, Grace's face changed dramatically. She opposed, "let Victor suffered? No way! You can't do this! " Her son, whom she cherished hard for more than twenty years, could not be treated like this?

"It's not what you think. It would be a blow to Victor's arrogance if we could teach him a lesson. He will know what he should do when he wakes up." Explained Karl patiently. He didn't like Grace spoiled their son. Karl even believed that it was his mother's spoiled attitude that resulted in the current tragedy!

When Victor was a little boy, Karl had taught him a lesson about his mental endurance. In addition, he had thrown Victor into various kinds of harsh conditions to grow up. That was why Victor was so quick tempered. It could be said that Victor was cultivated by Karl as the heir of the YS Group. That was why he felt disappointed when he heard it from Grace.

"Well, what are you going to do, Karl?" Hearing Karl's words, Grace felt relieved and asked her husband again.

After thinking for a while, Karl continued, "I'll ask my people to stop the cooperation that Victor is talking about tomorrow and put a little pressure on him until Victor comes to me." Karl didn't believe that his son was so narrow!

Grace nodded in agreement and asked, "do we need to stop this matter this time? It's bad for the reputation of Xiao family in a long time. Or we can clear it up?"

"Not for the time being. We can take advantage of the pressure from public opinion and make Sophia leave Victor actively. That would be the best for both of us!" C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

A scheming and sophisticated man like Karl was good at business and he could do whatever he wanted. Although he had handed over the power to Victor, but at once. As one of the most powerful business figures in the city, Karl's name often made many people fear.

It took him little effort to deal with Victor and Sophia. One was his son cultivated from childhood, the other was just a nobody. He didn't believe that the so-called love would be equal to personal interest. Everyone was selfish...
