The more Esme thought about it, the more she felt that it was not worth it. Hence, she tightened her grip around her phone.
At that moment, Magnus suddenly returned from outside with some lunch. The first thing he asked was, “Did you hear anything from Rebecca?”
She chuckled for a bit before she snorted in triumph. “Our daughter is still sleeping on his bed.”
He nodded in satisfaction. Rebecca is undoubtedly a good daughter. In any case, it doesn’t benefit the Davis Corporation if she’s just his lover. The most important thing for her is to replace J’Adore’s position as the Lady of the Lowry Family.
Magnus dwelled on it for ages before finally breaking the silence. “It would not be fair for our daughter if she is merely a lover.”
Esme agreed with his statement. “That is true. Why isn’t Rebecca good enough for him? What does J’Adore have over Rebecca?”
It is true that J’Adore is more powerful than the Davis Family, but so what? Did somebody dictate that only the most powerful woman could be with Mason? Who knows? She might have committed many crimes, which is most probably the reason why she always wears a mask. It is as though she can’t face the public. For all we know, she might have obtained her status and wealth via illegal means and that is why she can’t reveal herself. She is shameful. In fact, she has embarrassed the whole Lowry Family.
“In that case, what is your suggestion? Should we do something about it?” Magnus was well-versed with the public opinion. Currently, Mason and J’Adore are dominating the headlines, but nobody knows that the young lady of the Davis Family is the one in his bed last night.
Esme weighed her options when she heard that. After thinking for a few moments, she suggested, “Why don’t we ambush them?”
“What do you mean?”
She squinted at him while explaining quietly, “Let’s catch them in bed.”
He was stunned into silence for a few seconds at her words. It took him a long time to snap back to his senses. He shook his head while retorting, “How could that work? Others will look down on Rebecca if they knew that she did it through those means.” He had considered that option and he knew that it would not be beneficial for their company.
“Why wouldn’t that work?” Esme insisted. “If the public knows that Rebecca and Mason have slept together, he would have to bear the responsibility even if he does not want to.” I am afraid that Mason might just leave Rebecca in a lurch. If that happens, my daughter will be left with nothing. Well, she would be on the losing end if that ever happens!
Upon hearing that, Magnus was slightly moved. Then, he asked hastily, “In that case, how can we break the news to the public?”
News travels fast these days. As long as there are videos and pictures involved, the news will spread like wildfire in Sandfort City.
That was the reason why Esme decided to use the methods that celebrities frequently relied on. “We need to take reporters with us to catch our daughter in bed with Mason. A video would do the trick too.”
I am honestly out of ideas because the Davis Family’s future is dependent on Rebecca now. If I were to fail and return to Markovia this time, I can’t even begin to imagine how the group of socialites and wealthy women would judge or make fun of me. I can’t take another sarcastic comment from outsiders anymore.
Magnus did not expect the usually warm and kind Esme to say that. In fact, he did not even expect her to come up with that suggestion. However, things have progressed in this direction. If we refuse to move forward, all of our hard work from before would be for nothing. The gifts, which were worth millions, together with Rebecca’s presents that are also worth millions, would be wasted. I can’t accept that. Similarly, the Davis Corporation would not accept that too. I have to lead the Davis Corporation by having a breakthrough in Markovia. Nobody is stopping the progress of Davis Corporation. “Sure. My older sister is more experienced in this matter anyway. I will ask for her opinion.”
The person whom Magnus referred to was Megan.
Megan, who was speaking over the phone with Magnus, did not think further. Hence, she introduced the reporters who were recording the banquet to him.
