Winning Her Heart Back

 If You Don't Have Children

After Emelie chatted with Yennifer for half an hour, Jodie came downstairs, called her "ma'am" and made a phone gesture.

Emelie knew it was time for the meeting that she had scheduled earlier. "Mom, make yourself at home. I need to do some work."

Yennifer didn't stall her. "Go ahead, dear. You've worked hard. I'll make you some soup now. You can have it when you're done."

Emelie agreed.

After Yennifer finished cooking in the kitchen, Wesley had also finished his call and returned.

Yennifer glanced upstairs.

Once she was sure that Emelie hadn't come down, she signaled to Wesley. "Brat, come accompany your mother to the garden for a smoke."

Wesley walked out with her. "I can accompany you for a walk, but I'll skip the smoking."

"What's wrong?" Yennifer asked.

"Eme thinks that I haven't fully recovered yet. If she caught me smoking, she would be angry that I wasn't taking care of myself," Wesley said.

Yennifer was unusually silent and lit a cigarette for herself. The mother and son strolled in the garden.

In March, Mercianna's weather was just nice.

Yennifer asked, "How do you plan to move forward?"

She seemed to be asking about something else, but Wesley took it as a business question and replied calmly," Natalia was involved in such a huge scandal. According to family rules, we'll expel her from the family. It's reasonable, and no one will object. All her shares will be transferred to Mandy."NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

"And what would be the reason?" she asked.

"Mandy was harmed by her. Compensating Mandy is only fair, right?" Wesley said.

Furthermore, they had just swiftly eliminated Natalia. The knife was still dripping blood, so no one would dare to object. If he said it was 'reasonable', then it is.

Yennifer said, "In that case, Mandy will hold 12% of the shares, and you'll hold 36%, totaling 48%. It's still not a majority. If you want to have complete control over Filo Group, it's a bit difficult. Incidents like Natalia's might still happen again."

Wesley responded, "After I marry Mandy, Mandy will receive an additional 5% of shares from Mrs. Denning, totaling 53%. We'll have just over half."

Amelia was a very wise woman who thought ahead for her descendants. She even included the post-marriage assets that she would give to Wesley's wife in her will.

Yennifer exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "If you're marrying Mandy just to get the 5% of shares, then I think you might as well let Mandy... Mrs. Denning's will also stated that, with her status, Mandy can get 10%. At that point, you would have 58%, with greater power and a more stable position."

Wesley replied indifferently, "There's no need for that."

Recently, Vennifer had been thinking a lot and had come to terms with many things. She stopped walking and faced her son.

She said softly, "You say you love Mandy and want to be with her. I don't oppose it. You can get married, as long as you don't have children.

"But what I want to ask you is, do you think that you can keep this a secret from Mandy for a lifetime? Have you considered whether Mandy would forgive you if she found out the truth?"

Wesley didn't respond.

Yennifer sighed. "Recently, I've been reading some religious scriptures. The scriptures spoke of 'self-attachment' and 'breaking attachments'. Clinging on to desires isn't a good thing. Letting go in time is beneficial for both others and oneself."

Wesley finally laughed. "You're religious?"

He was implying that Yennifer's extravagant manner and the religious teachings she was preaching were contradictory.

Yennifer kept her composure. "It also speaks about the 'self'. I'm practicing self-assertion."

Wesley just smirked.

The two walked around the garden once more. As they were about to return to the main house, Wesley said, "Eme might find out soon."

Yennifer was startled. "Then you guys..."

Wesley's expression was cool. He didn't know either.

He went into the house alone, and Yennifer watched him leave, very worried about their future.
