Chapter 321 Seize This Opportunity
Inside the restaurant.
Everyone turned envious eyes towards Joe and Isolde after hearing Conrad's words.
No one dared to mock Joe and Isolde anymore. Initially, everyone thought Laura had found a useless fiancé, but now it seemed James was not useless at all, but rather a low-key rich second generation.
Joe and Isolde were naturally full of pride.
"I wish our Nancy could find someone like James in the future!" Nancy's mother couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, from now on, the kids in our Hall family need to be more careful when choosing partners. We can't afford to make the same mistake as Thalassa!" Isolde, feeling triumphant, turned and said to Thalassa and Thalia.
Although Isolde knew about Leander pretending to know Atticus, Leander was still a company executive. Even if he was vain and deceived Thalassa, he was still better than her poor son-in-law. Moreover, Thalassa had already broken up with Leander, so Isolde had no confidence in front of Thalia.
But now the situation was different. In everyone's eyes, James was a super-rich second generation.
Today, Conrad received nearly several billion dollars in gifts, and this account naturally had to be attributed to James.
If James wasn't a super-rich second generation, why would these people try to curry favor with him?
And even if they wanted to curry favor with James, they wouldn't give such expensive gifts, so no one doubted James's identity now.
"Yes, our Thalassa really made a mistake back then!" Thalia replied awkwardly.
"But Thalassa, you don't need to be too sad. After all, not everyone can meet a rich second generation like James. Our Laura was just lucky. Everyone has their own fate, and some things can't be forced!" Isolde said to Thalassa in a mocking tone.
Thalassa's face turned extremely ugly after hearing this, but she didn't say anything.
"Joe, since Laura could find a son-in-law like James for you, you must seize this opportunity, understand?" Conrad walked to Joe's side and said earnestly.
"Seize this opportunity?" Joe was stunned for a moment, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes.
"Yes, Laura is not young anymore. It's not good to drag this out any longer. You should let James and Laura get the marriage procedures done as soon as possible, so we can all be at ease, right?"
Conrad was determined to keep James in the Hall family, and getting James and Laura married as soon as possible was the quickest and most effective way.
Joe replied with a smile, "I'll talk to Laura about it when I have time."
"What are you waiting for? Let them get the marriage procedures done tomorrow to avoid any complications!" Conrad shouted expressionlessly.
Joe felt helpless after hearing this, not knowing what to say. He didn't expect Conrad to be more anxious than himself.
On the other side.
After leaving the restaurant, Laura dragged James to the shopping center near Willowbrook.
James was happy to go shopping with Laura alone, but unfortunately, Nancy and Lily also came along.
So what should have been a two-person world for James and Laura turned into James being a free laborer for the three girls.
After shopping for over an hour, the three girls finally said they were tired.
Originally, they planned to go back to the hotel to rest after shopping.
But Laura received a call, saying that she and James should stay at the Hall family villa tonight.
James felt very helpless knowing they were going back to the Hall family villa because he didn't have a good impression of the Hall family.
But James didn't dare to disobey Conrad, so he drove back to the Hall family villa.
Entering the villa's hall, James found the Hall family members chatting inside.
Conrad, seeing James, rushed to him excitedly and said, "James, you're back?"
"Yes." James nodded helplessly.
"Are you tired? Sit down and rest!" Conrad said while pulling James to the sofa, holding his hand and asking about his well-being. Conrad's behavior was completely different from when he wanted to kick James out of the restaurant.
The other Hall family members also changed their attitudes, speaking to James much more politely.
Laura sat beside James, looking very helpless. Who could have imagined these people would change their attitudes so quickly?
When they thought James was a poor loser, everyone looked down on and mocked him. But now, seeing James know so many big shots, they started to curry favor with him!
After James sat down, Conrad briefly asked about his family background.
But after a while, Conrad didn't get any information and thought James might not want to talk about it, so he didn't continue.
Instead, he turned to Laura and said, "Laura, I checked, and tomorrow is a good day. Why don't you and James get the marriage procedures done? Then we can find another good day for your wedding!"
"Conrad, what are you talking about? James and I have only known each other for a few months. Why rush the marriage procedures?"
Laura was speechless after hearing Conrad's words and shouted with a frown.
"Laura, everyone knows you're James's fiancée now. Why not do it during Conrad's birthday celebration to make your grandpa happy?" Joe also persuaded.
"My marriage with James is between us. What does it have to do with you?"
Although Laura no longer had any aversion to James, she still felt very uncomfortable with Conrad and Joe's actions.
"I'm your grandpa. How can it have nothing to do with me?" Conrad shouted excitedly.
"Conrad, did you forget? Today you said that as long as you're in the Hall family, James will never marry me. Now you act like a different person. Did you forget what you said?" Laura, in her excitement, blurted out.
As soon as she finished speaking, the entire restaurant fell into a dead silence.
