Chapter 281 Sour Grapes
Some are happy, while some are sad.
Finnegan's move shattered many people's hopes, including Seraphina and Niamh.
In the dormitory, Seraphina, filled with jealousy, stared at the image of the two holding hands on her phone, her nails digging into her palms.
The online comments praised them as a perfect match.
Finnegan, surrounded by dozens of bodyguards and Abbott's Corporation executives, always held Ophe's hand, invoking the envy of onlookers.
Her roommate peeked at Seraphina's phone and said, "I've seen this news everywhere today. It's so enviable. How can Ophe be so lucky to marry into a wealthy family? I heard she's even pregnant. Look at her; she is so happy and fulfilled. I'm really envious."
Seraphina, her hand clenched, retorted bitterly, "There's nothing to envy. These wealthy marriages are all for show. Who knows if Finnegan truly treats her well in private? Let alone a man as rich and handsome as Finnegan; how could he sincerely love her?"
Her roommate laughed. "Seraphina, don't pretend to say that. Even if Finnegan cheats, Ophe is still the legitimate mistress of Abbott's Family. They're legally married."
Seraphina glared at her roommate and left with her phone.
Her roommate, baffled, muttered, "What's wrong with you? Mind your attitude. If you're so capable, find a wealthy man yourself."
Her roommate deliberately spoke loudly for Seraphina to hear.
Niamh was also furious as Seraphina.
The Parks Family.
Niamh, seeing the news, exclaimed, "What's wrong with Finnegan? How dare he announce his relationship with Ophe? She's not worthy of being called his wife."
Before Finnegan's announcement, Niamh had hoped to break them up and become his wife, Finnegan's first lady.
Now that it's known Finnegan is married, even if she marries into Abbott's Family in the future, she'll be seen as a mistress.
Natalie, frowning, said, "Why do you care about what they do, Niamh? I've told you countless times that your task is to learn to manage the company and take over."
"I've said I'm not interested. Why do you always force me? It's so annoying."
Niamh, already in a bad mood, became more impatient and had a bad attitude toward Natalie.
"I'm doing this for your good. Otherwise, why did I come back all the way from Europe? It's all for you, Niamh. Why can't you understand? There are plenty of men in the world." Natalie was also angry. She had put in so much effort for this daughter, but Niamh was not making any progress; she was only concerned with love.
Natalie was a career-oriented woman who could abandon everything for her career and ambitions, but Niamh had not inherited a single bit of that.
Niamh retorted, "You haven't married; you haven't even touched a man. Of course, you don't understand. A man as outstanding as Finnegan should be mine. How can that lowly Ophe be worthy? Do you want me to be like you, working every day? That's too boring."
Natalie was almost speechless with anger. If she didn't have a man, then where did Niamh come from?
Before Natalie could say anything, Niamh muttered to herself, "I'm going out."
With that, Niamh drove away.
Natalie could only sulk.
Just as Niamh left, Dovie returned. Seeing Natalie's unhappy expression, she asked, "Natalie, what's wrong?"
Natalie had almost been driven to tears by Niamh. How could a mother bear to hear her daughter speak like that?
"It's nothing," Natalie dared not tell the truth. Otherwise, Dovie would be even more unwilling to hand the company over to Niamh.
Dovie asked, "Isn't Natalie at home again?"
"She just left." Natalie couldn't even find an excuse for Niamh.
Dovie sighed, "Niamh is too playful."
Natalie suddenly thought of a way and said, "Sister Dovie, why not arrange an engagement for Niamh? Finnegan had announced his marriage to Ophe on the internet, but I see Niamh is not very happy; maybe if we arrange an engagement for her, she will behave herself."
Dovie said, "That's not a bad idea, but who should we choose? Niamh is stubborn and hot-tempered, and the previous incidents caused quite a stir. Who would be willing to marry her?"
"How about Caspian?" Natalie said, "Caspian is about the same age as Niamh; I think he's suitable."
