After the death of his mother, Dexon’s will had become much weaker, and the Sandford Family had become desolate.
Minlan also had a heart-to-heart experience, so she quickly lost weight. However, the position of the mistress of the Sandford Family was now stable.
If those relatives wanted to take the benefits from the Sandford Family, she would have to make the decision.
When the old lady was still alive, she would often distribute the interests of the family to the other two ordinary children. Minlan was angry but did not dare to say anything. The old lady just wanted to reduce the gap between the family and the Sandford Family.
However, to Minlan, those things were what she and her husband worked hard to obtain.
“Madam, Young Master Yoseph is here!” Minlan, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly heard a maid come in and say.
“Yoseph?” Minlan quickly stood up from the sofa with a surprised expression.
Sure enough, Yoseph’s figure passed through the small garden outside the door and walked into the living room with heavy steps.
“Auntie, long time no see!” Yoseph had a smile on his face and his tone was gentle.
Minlan also immediately laughed, “Yoseph is a busy person. It is not easy to see him.”
“Is Uncle here?” Yoseph came today to look for Dexon.
“He is in the study room. You can go and find him. I will bring you a pot of tea.” Minlan said with a smile.
Yoseph held onto the railing and walked up.
At the door of the study, he knocked on the door. After getting permission, he pushed the door open and went in.
The study was filled with the smell of smoke. Dexon stood by the window and turned around. He was a little surprised to see Yoseph.
“Uncle, I am deeply saddened by the old lady’ dead . Please forgive me.” Yoseph said in a gentlemanly manner.
Dexon nodded. “Thank you for your concern. I am fine now. Did you come to find me for something?”
“Uncle, I came to find you. I do have something to ask of you.” Yoseph did not hide the reason for his visit. He said frankly, “I hope you can publicize Emma’s identity.”
Dexon could not help being stunned. “Why? I really don’t want that unfilial daughter to acknowledge her ancestors.”
Thinking of the dire situation she was in during the political struggle, not only did Emma not give up her daughter’s filial piety, she even sent Eldest Daughter to prison. Thinking of this matter, Dexon’s heart was filled with pain and dissatisfaction towards Emma.
“Uncle, the matter has come to an end. Emma is your biological daughter. You can’t always let her wander outside.” Yoseph tried to persuade him in a soft voice.
“I think she plans to stay in Grafton Family for the rest of her life.” Dexon said with hatred.
“Her relationship with Archie is really unpleasant. If you publicize your relationship with her, I believe there will be a lot of rumors about her and Archie. At that time, old master of Grafton Family will surely weigh their relationship.” Yoseph’s tone was full of sarcasm.
Dexon looked at him with a puzzled expression.
“Uncle, don’t forget what you promised me. Three months later, you will hold an engagement banquet for us. Two months have passed. There is still one month left. You should honor your words, if at that time. . . You can’t complete our engagement ceremony as promised, Uncle, Don’t blame me for being merciless.” Yoseph’s seemingly gentle and modest tone hid a terrifying threat.
Dexon froze.
“Yoseph, there’s something we can discuss. Why do you have to say such hurtful words? You are right. It is time for me to announce my relationship with Emma as father and daughter. Don’t worry, I will hold a press conference tomorrow. I will not let you down.” Dexon knew that once he offended Yoseph. . . His position today must have been lost, not only that, Maybe a thousand more.
Dexon was also a man who knew how to adapt to the situation. When he first found Yoseph to cooperate with him, he knew that he had something he could use against Yoseph. In the future, there would be many obstacles in his way of doing things.
Actually, marrying his daughter to Yoseph was something Dexon was very happy to see.
“Alright, I will wait for your good news! Let’s go first!” After Yoseph finished speaking, he opened the door and happened to bump into Minlan who was holding tea in the corridor. He politely said, “Auntie, I have to go ahead. I will keep your tea for next time.”
“Why are you in such a hurry to leave?” Minlan was a little surprised.
“Yes, I have some urgent matters to attend to.” After Yoseph finished speaking, he walked straight downstairs.
Minlan was stunned and walked towards the study.
Dexon began to smoke in a dull manner again. When Minlan went in, she choked and coughed.
“The doctor told you to smoke less. Why do you still smoke all day long? You don’t want to live anymore.” Minlan scolded him angrily.
“I’m not in a good mood!” Dexon restrained himself a little in front of his wife and extinguished the cigarette.
Minlan opened the windows on both sides and asked, “What did Yoseph come to you for?”
“Nothing!” Dexon said lightly.
“You have been hiding a lot of things from me since you lost the election. Do you still have me as your wife in your eyes?” Minlan immediately became angry.
Dexon could only sigh. “I want to publicize the relationship between father and daughter with Emma.”
Minlan was shocked and her expression instantly became stiff. “What did you say? Public relations? Doing this will make things difficult for Emma.”
“She is our daughter to begin with. Don’t tell me that she will never return to the Sandford Family for the rest of her life?” Dexon’s tone was filled with dissatisfaction.
“But she is now with Archie. If outsiders find out that she is your youngest daughter, it will not be good for her reputation.” Minlan said urgently.
“If she really doesn’t recognize me as her father, she will only care about getting entangled with Archie. If she still wants to go back to Sandford Family, she must make her relationship public.” Dexon’s tone became firm.
“Yoseph asked you to do this, didn’t he?” Minlan was shocked and immediately questioned.
“No, this is my own decision.” Dexon denied it.
Minlan snorted. “Don’t lie to me. Yoseph hasn’t given up on Emma yet, right?”
“Minlan, don’t worry about this matter. Anyway, I have decided to publicize this relationship tomorrow. Regardless of whether Emma admits it or not, I will publicize it.” Dexon did not want to argue with his wife, but he would not change his decision.
“Dexon, Emma is the youngest daughter that we spent so much effort to find. Why can’t you let her live a happier life?” Minlan, on the other hand, had a look of sadness on her face.
“Who said that she won’t be happy if she marries Yoseph? What Archie can give her, Yoseph can also give her. Besides, I think Yoseph will love her more than Archie.” Dexon finally said what he wanted to say.
Minlan froze.
