Claire felt a little conflicted.
She did not know whether her grandmother was being sincere or whether she was just pretending.
However, when she saw her grandmother, father, and uncle holding hands and crying together, she also felt very touched.
She had to think of her father. If he could move back into the Wilson family villa and live in a comfortable environment with a calm mood and proper care, he would definitely be able to recover and regain his health even more quickly.
At this time, Elaine also persuaded her, “Claire, this is such a great opportunity! What are you waiting for? Why don’t you agree to move back to the Wilson family villa already?”
Claire was a little hesitant at first, but when she saw that her parents seemed keen to do so, she opened her mouth and replied in the spur of the moment, “Alright then, we can move back…”
Lady Wilson was very happy and felt extremely excited.
It was done!
Hahaha!
Her mission was a success!
Sure enough, she was still the most capable! Jacob was just a useless and gullible fool, Elaine was just a materialistic woman who only cared about money, Joe was a piece of trash who only knew how to deceive others, and even though Claire seemed to be rather capable, she also fell for her trick at the end of the day!
As she thought about this, Lady Wilson felt very proud of herself!
Christopher could not help but secretly give his mother a thumbs up, filled with admiration for his mother.
Even though his mother was old, she was indeed the best at plotting. She knew that they would surely succeed in tricking them to move back into the Wilson family villa if she started working on Jacob first. After that, it was easier for Lady Wilson to work on winning Claire over because she would be easily influenced by her father. This was completely perfect!
When Joe saw that his wife was about to be fooled, he hurriedly said, “Grandma, uncle, it would be great if all of us could move back into the Wilson family villa. That would be no problem at all. After all, we are all family, and it would be great for all of us to live together, but …”
Harold frowned before he yelled at Joe coldly, “But what?! What is wrong with you? Don’t you know your place in the Wilson family? Why are you talking so much when this has nothing to do with you at all?!”
Lady Wilson raised her hand before she slapped Harold and said, “How dare you speak to your brother-in-law in that manner?
Don’t you have any respect for your elders at all?”
Harold was stunned when his grandmother slapped him, but he immediately understood why she had done that.
Damn it! He had almost gotten into trouble because he could not stop himself from mocking and humiliating Joe!
Just a few moments ago, he had been pretending that he had already repented, but here he was, humiliating and ridiculing Joe as soon as he had the opportunity to do so! If Claire and Joe realized that he was just pretending, his grandmother’s perfect plan of tricking Claire and her family into moving back to the Wilson family villa would be ruined!
As he thought about it, Harold became flustered and quickly said to Joe, “I am sorry, brother-in-law. Please forgive my wretched mouth! I cannot control myself! Please forgive me and please do not hold it against me.”
After saying that, Harold slapped himself twice to prove that he was being very sincere.
Joe could not help but sneer when he saw what Harold was trying to do. It seemed as though the Wilson family was willing to give up everything just so they could carry on with their act…
To expose their true colors, Joe said, “I already said that it is no problem for all of us to move back into the Wilson family villa.
After all, we are family. However, Claire’s studio is already operating, and so, I would like to remind everyone in advance that Claire will not be returning to work for the Wilson Group in the future.”
“What?” Lady Wilson yelled out loud. It seemed as though someone had just stepped on her tail. She jumped up in an instant before she said, “How could I allow that to happen? I’ve already said that the whole family should not only be living together, but we should also cooperate and work hard together so that the Wilson family can be strong and powerful. How can you come back to the Wilson family villa but not work for the Wilson Group, then?”
Joe smiled before he replied, “Grandma, didn’t you say that the reason why you are inviting us to move back into the Wilson family villa is because of my father-in-law’s health? I thought that you simply wanted it to be convenient for him to recuperate and regain his health? Therefore, whether we move back into the Wilson family villa and whether Claire decides to work for the Wilson Group again is two completely separate matters. We should not confuse these two matters. Don’t you agree?”
“No!” Lady Wilson shouted in response immediately. “Since your whole family is already moving back into the Wilson family villa, you have to return to work for the Wilson Group!”
Then, Lady Wilson tried to work her charms on Claire again. “Claire, you have just opened your studio and you have no business or customers yet. Furthermore, it will be very difficult for you to run the business all by yourself. How would you possibly be able to handle all the stress and pressure on your own? Don’t you think it would be better for you to close down your studio and come back to work for the Wilson Group instead? Your life will surely be easier and much more comfortable that way!”
Finally, Claire also realized that there was something unusual in Lady Wilson’s words.
It seemed as though Joe was right. The only reason why Lady Wilson was inviting their family to move back into the Wilson family villa was that she wanted her to return to work for the Wilson Group! Lady Wilson’s invitation and concern for her father were all fake!
If that was truly the case, Lady Wilson was merely putting on an act just so she could convince her to come back and work for the Wilson Group. Everything that she was doing was just so that she could manipulate and trick her.
Was all of this just a performance? Were they just putting on an act?
As she thought about it, Claire felt a cold chill run down her back.
Fortunately, Joe had reacted fast enough! Otherwise, she would have been fooled, and she would have stepped right into the old woman’s trap!
Thus, Claire hurriedly replied, “Grandma, I am really very grateful that you have invited our family to move back into the Wilson family villa. However, Joe is right. Even if we move back into the Wilson family villa, I will not go back to work for the Wilson Group because it is two completely separate matters. So, I have to tell you in advance that my family can move back into the Wilson family villa, but it will be impossible for me to go back to work for the Wilson Group. I want to work on my own studio and focus on my own business.”
When Lady Wilson saw that Claire was so determined, she absolutely hated Joe with all of her heart.
