Mars Xue hung up the phone and looked back at Mrs.
“Farren and sister-in-law can’t come, I think we have to play by ourselves again today, it’s too boring.”
Mrs. Xue looked at him and said in a warm voice.
“If you don’t want to stay here then you can go back, it’s too hot to play golf today, and Mrs. Gellar is coming to see me later, so I’ll go with her for afternoon tea.”
Mars Xue was waiting for these words, he hugged his wife and kissed her hard, “Linlin, you really know me too well, then I’ll go first, I’ll go to Farren’s place to see him and pick you up tonight.”
Mrs. Xue turned on him with a red face, “You’re not being decent in public.”
The golf course was so vast that Mars Xue changed cars midway and went straight to the parking lot, while Mrs. Xue took a car to an afternoon tea restaurant on the golf course.
Stetson Madden was already waiting inside the restaurant.
When Mrs. Xue arrived, she found a man sitting across from Stetson Madden, looking in his fifties, wearing a rumpled suit, pleading with Stetson Madden for something.
She hesitantly walked over to him.
“Sister-in-law, you’re here, have a seat.”
“Am I keeping you from your business?”
“This is Mr. Bright. He and my father-in-law used to be business partners, and now they’re in a bit of a hurry.
“This is Mrs. Xue.”
Darold Bright stood up and greeted him.
“Sit down, sir, you don’t have to be so polite.” Mrs. Xue, who was a respectful person, followed suit and stood for a moment.
Stetson Madden was busy greeting.
“Sit down, don’t be so formal, we are all related, sister-in-law, wait for me.”
“Well, you go about your business.” Mrs. Xue was a bit puzzled by this ‘family friend’, but didn’t ask much.
“Mr. Bright, where were you? Let’s continue.”
“Good,” Darold Bright nodded, his voice raspy.
“My shipment is not a problem as long as it gets out of customs, and my daughter’s dowry will all be there, so as long as Mrs. Gellar is willing to help talk to Chief Gellar, it’s saving my family.”
At that, Stetson Madden showed a difficult look.
“Mr. Bright, not I help you, but you this matter if I help you, then if the Austin family know, also think I hit their face, you do not do this is also inappropriate, which have put their own daughter and son-in-law not to find, looking for me such an outsider to help it?”
Speaking of this, Darold Bright’s face suddenly sank.
“That kind of daughter, I have the right to pretend not to have been born, see me down and out, is half a little help refused to help me, would like our family to starve to death good.”
“How does that sound?” Stetson Madden instantly showed an embarrassed look, “Not so much.”
“The Austin family?” Mrs. Xue looked puzzled, “What does this gentleman have to do with the Austin family?”
At that, Stetson Madden hesitated for a moment and whispered.
“Mr. Bright is the Austin family’s oldest father-in-law, Amelia Bright’s father.”
Mrs. Xue’s eyebrows immediately wrinkled.
“What? She won’t even help her own father?”
“I don’t think so,” Stetson Madden persuaded, “Mr. Bright should have quarreled with his daughter, and fathers and daughters don’t have enemies overnight, so they won’t see their own mother’s family in trouble.”
“Humph,” Darold Bright sneered.
“I have long seen that this girl is a wolf, if I had not said that I was dying of illness, she would not have come back, but as soon as she heard that she wanted to help, she left without looking back, afraid that we would delay her future in the Austin family. What’s the use of begging her?”
“This is outrageous,” Mrs. Xue, who is the most filial person, was furious at her words, “How can there be such a daughter in this world? How can she be such a person?”
Looking at Mrs. Xue’s righteous indignation, Stetson Madden’s eyes had a sinister glint of triumph.
“Mr. Bright, don’t worry, I’m not really in a position to help directly with this, but we can try to make peace with it.”
“…”
Stetson Madden returned home from the golf course when it was already dark outside.
Liam Gellar, who was rarely home, saw that she had only just returned and said, displeased.
“You left the kids home alone, you didn’t answer your phone, what did you do?”
“I went to work,” said Stetson Madden with a calm face, changed his shoes, went to the wine cabinet and poured a glass of wine, leaned lazily on the cabinet.
“This time if this thing is done, our family and the Austin family’s relationship can be restored as before.”
“Come on,” Liam Gellar snorted, his face full of disdain, “you also said last time you could do the designer thing, and what happened? I didn’t even bother to ask you.”
“This time is different, as long as we solve that woman who is in the way, still afraid that the relationship with the Austin family can not be repaired?”
“You mean … Amelia Bright?”
Liam Gellar frowned, “What do you want?”
Stetson Madden took a sip of wine, a few moments of cold chill surfaced on his slightly drunken face.
“This woman has confronted us twice and twice, and pretended to make herself relevant to the dead woman, whether she was really related to her or not, she can’t be kept.”
—
After the Austin Jewelry’s anniversary project was approved, Amelia Bright began to work on the exhibition jewelry.
It was not an easy task to sift through all the jewels from the past thirty years, but fortunately, she had a dedicated assistant, Candy.
After leaving the jewelry selection to Candy, she still left work on time every day, but came home much later than usual, and did not eat dinner at home for a week.
In the evening, when Farren Austin saw her enter the house again with a big bag of things, he couldn’t help but ask.
“Do you use this place as a warehouse? What’s all this stuff?”
The maids knew it was her stuff, but they didn’t want to move it around, so it was as hard for him to enter the house as it was to cross the fire line.
“Drawing boards, paints.” Amelia Bright did not feel the complaint in Farren Austin’s tone, Chambers set aside the bag in her hand, sat down on the floor, patted the sturdy drawing board, and proudly said.
“This is a gift I’m going to give to the children in the mountains after the charity exhibition, I’m afraid that others bought badly, so I went to purchase it myself.”
“You’re going to the mountains?”
“Yes,” Amelia Bright smiled while wiping her sweat.
“I’m going to go to the mountains with them when the supplies are ready, otherwise who knows if the money will go to the children?”
“The environment there is not good, the road is not good, you may not be able to bear it, I advise you not to go.”
Amelia Bright got up from the ground with a grunt.
“Thank you for the reminder, but I’m not discussing this with you.”
