Chapter 544 Haven't You Tried It Yet? Are You Giving up Just Like that?
At the old Hall Mansion.
After fainting yesterday, Ava was saved by a private doctor and was fine, but she deliberately lay in bed sulking with Brady.
Brady knew what she meant, but even if she pretended to be sick, he wouldn't give up on Violet.
Violet and he had two children together, and this kind of bond meant they could never be completely separated in this lifetime.
So, the next day, Brady stayed in Ava's bedroom.
He brought her some food and said, "The doctor said you're fine, just get some rest."
Ava refused the food he brought, and said angrily, "Do you wish something would happen to me right away so you can marry another woman?"
Brady calmly said, "Mom, you don't need to say these things to provoke me. Marrying a wife is my own business, and I won't listen to you, Dad, or anyone else in the family."
"My personality has always been like this, you know that, right? Look at the entire Elysium, which heir of a big family doesn't have their marriage decided by the family? Why can't you listen to our opinions? Do you think we would harm you?" Ava knew Brady was too headstrong.
Brady had been independent since he was a child, following Ulysses around.
He wouldn't listen to anyone's opinion unless Ulysses were still alive; he might listen to him.
Now, neither she, Grayson, nor Matilda could influence his thoughts.
"They are other people; what does that have to do with me? Am I getting married for them to see?" Brady found it amusing.
Ava just looked down on Violet for not having a background.
In the future, as a member of the Hall family, taking her out would be embarrassing and ridiculed by people in their circle.
What a feudal mindset, sacrificing one's marriage for a bit of face in this day and age?
"Even if it's not for others to see, at least she needs to help you manage our Hall family in the future. If she has no knowledge or background, do you want our Hall family to be laughed at for being uncultured?" Ava said through gritted teeth.
"Mom, get some rest. You don't need to worry about my marriage. Just get along well with her and my children in the future." Brady didn't plan to beat around the bush with Ava anymore.
He spoke very directly.
Ava was shocked, clutching the blanket tightly. "You really have children with her."
"Yes, so do you think I can avoid marrying her?" Brady continued.
Marry her just because of that? Aren't they just illegitimate children? Just give them some money.
Ava was about to lose her mind. "Brady, how can you do this? You need to think about our Hall family."
"Mom, you seem to have always misunderstood one thing. The Hall family is supported by us men, not maintained by women. My father, grandfather, and I built this vast business empire. We do this to provide a safe harbor for the women we love."
"Brady!" Ava knew she couldn't persuade Brady no matter what.
"Mom, I've said everything I need to say. Get some rest; I have work to do at the office." With that, Brady got up and left.
Ava sat on the bed, trembling with anger.
Olivia took the opportunity to come in, her eyes also wet. Last night, Brady said he was going to get married and register, and it felt like a knife had stabbed her heart, making her feel miserable.
"Aunt Brown, I'm leaving the country tomorrow. I'm sorry I let you down," Olivia bit her lip and said.
All her pride and humiliation were laid bare here.
Ava snapped out of it, looked at the heartbroken Olivia, and quickly said, "Olivia, don't go. Haven't you tried yet? Are you giving up just like that?"
