Chapter 978 Are You Afraid My Former High School Classmate Will Hit on Me? King of Jealousy
[Is this for real, honey?] Violet snapped out of her shock and quickly texted Brady to confirm.
Brady, with his vast network of information, wouldn't make a mistake on such a personal matter. [You doubt my skills?]
Of course, Violet trusted him, which is why she was so shocked and scared that it might be true.
[What should we do? I even encouraged Emily to date him!] Violet was deeply regretting her actions.
If Emily were to get engaged to Austin, it would be a disaster for her life.
[Don't be so direct about it. Austin is well-liked by Emily's parents right now. If you try to interfere, he won't admit it, and even if he does, he could claim ignorance.] Brady advised, understanding the subtleties of men's minds. [You'd end up being the bad guy.]
Violet frowned, growing anxious. [I can't let Emily actually get engaged to him. It would ruin her life. Austin definitely has some ulterior motives, and if a child shows up claiming to be his, what would Emily do?]
[Matters of the heart are tricky for outsiders to meddle in. I suggest you talk to Emily gradually, not so bluntly,] Brady replied.
Violet sighed, realizing he was right. If she had outright said Austin was a bad guy, Emily wouldn't have believed her immediately. [Okay, I'll find a chance to talk to her slowly.]
Brady rubbed his temples. He had done his best regarding Emily's situation; now it was time to focus on their own matters. [If you need my help with Emily, just let me know. But for now, our wedding is the priority.]
As long as Emily didn't get engaged, everything could be resolved.
Violet rested her chin on her hand and typed on her phone. [I know. I've been picking out wedding dresses these past few days, wanting to look my best for you.]
Brady smiled, looking forward to seeing Violet in her dress, a memory he hoped to cherish forever. [Great, I'm looking forward to it. By the way, do you need me to come to your class reunion?]
Violet knew exactly what he meant. [You don't want to just show up; you're worried my old high school classmates might hit on me, aren't you? Jealous much?]
Brady felt a bit embarrassed, thankful they were texting and not on a video call. [Of course not. I have confidence in us. I just want to support you. If you don't need me there, I'll get back to work.]
Violet chuckled. [Go ahead, get busy.]
After their conversation, Violet put down her phone and started thinking about Emily's situation.
Meanwhile, at the Moreau Mansion.
After Willow left, Marlowe called her driver to take her to the Moreau Villa.
The Moreau Villa was located in a wealthy neighborhood.
Despite their low profile, most people didn't know it housed a family with a hundred-year legacy of high status.
When Marlowe arrived at the villa, the entire Moreau family came out to greet her.
Lucien's mother, especially, was very attentive, helping Marlowe into the living room. "Mom, what brings you here today?"
"It's about Lucien. You all refuse to help, so I have to step in myself," Marlowe grumbled, aiming her words at Lucien's parents.
Lucien's mother, Rowan Blair, immediately understood what Marlowe was getting at and smiled apologetically. "Mom, we've been concerned about Lucien, but he needs to choose someone he likes, right?"
Marlowe wasn't interested in their excuses. She looked sternly at Lucien and said, "I'm here to tell Lucien to accompany Willow to the gathering tomorrow."
It was practically a formal matchmaking.
Lucien didn't even know who Willow was, and now Marlowe wanted him to accompany her? Lucien frowned, feeling helpless. "Grandma, I'll handle finding a wife myself."
