Chapter 518 It Can Only Be Her!
Stuart returned home and found that Josephine was not there. He called her and found out that she had gone back to the Clarence Mansion.
Stuart went to pick her up. On the way back, Josephine asked, "Will you pressure him to get married in the future?"
Stuart was taken aback, "Pressure who to get married?"
"Jeffery," Josephine said. "When he grows up and reaches a certain age but still isn't married, will you pressure him?"
Stuart thought for a moment and said, "I probably will. If he's still single in his thirties, I'll definitely pressure him."
"That's good," Josephine said. "At least you won't pressure him in his early twenties."
Stuart said, "No way. In his early twenties, he can take over the company and focus on work. If he's busy dating, who will handle the company's affairs?"
"You will," Josephine said. "Are you going to let the kid handle everything while you do nothing?"
"He's in his twenties, still a kid? By then, I'll let him take over, and we can travel the world and enjoy our time together."
Josephine laughed, "You have quite a long-term plan."
"Mainly because Jeffery has the talent," Stuart said. "I think he's even better than I was at his age."
Josephine agreed with this.
Even Ulysses said that Jeffery was a genius, making money at such a young age.
Everyone was envious.
As they chatted casually, Josephine also mentioned Elara's situation.
Stuart said, "You can't blame Gerald for this. Gerald clearly rejected her, so why is she still like this?"
Josephine said, "She thinks Kathy is not good enough for Gerald. She probably believes only she is worthy of him."
Indeed, that was what Elara thought.
When Gerald had no one around him, she could deceive herself into thinking she still had a chance with him.
But who knew, Gerald actually had a girlfriend!
And although she said Kathy wasn't good enough for Gerald, she knew deep down that Kathy was attractive, had a good figure, and was a PhD. Even though her family background wasn't great, such a woman was already considered very good by ordinary standards.
Moreover, she had never seen Gerald defend anyone before.
Yesterday, he actually spoke up for Kathy.
This was something Elara couldn't accept.
Besides, Josephine's visit also made her very uncomfortable.
She prided herself on her noble status, and now even ordinary people wanted to show their presence in front of her.
She didn't expect that when she came home after going out that night, her family informed her that she had to go on a blind date the next day.
"A blind date?" She was very resistant. "I said I only want to marry Gerald. Who are you setting me up with?"
Nicole's call had made the West family realize that there was no chance between Elara and Gerald.
Moreover, since Nicole introduced the person, the West family had to show respect.
Elara knew it was someone introduced by Gerald's mother and got agitated, "I'm not going! Why should she set me up on a blind date?"
Although the West family pampered her, she was no longer a little girl. She understood the pros and cons of a marriage alliance.
Since the Clarence Family had no such intention, they couldn't have any more ideas.
So, for the first time, Elara's father got angry and insisted she go!
Elara was furious but had no choice but to agree.
Her mindset had changed. Before marriage, she was the pampered one in the family.
But now, after her divorce, although she wasn't financially neglected, her brothers were all married with children, and her parents' attitude towards their grandchildren was noticeably different from their attitude towards her.
The close relationship between grandparents and grandchildren was often closer than that between parents and children, and that was not a lie.
Elara had long felt the difference.
She knew that in her parents' hearts, she was no longer the most pampered one.
Although she was proud, she understood that her pride was backed by her family.
So she followed the arrangement and went on the blind date.
However, no one expected that during the blind date, she would directly tell the other party that she was not satisfied and didn't like him.
She was divorced, so even if it was a marriage alliance, it was impossible to find someone who had never been married.
Unless it was a love match, most of the men she would marry in the future would also be divorced or widowed.
As for how Nicole had such men in her contacts, it was because Josephine was also divorced and had a child. So when Nicole was collecting information, she included some decent divorced men.
Unexpectedly, it benefited Elara now.
But who knew, she didn't appreciate it at all!
The other party's parents contacted Nicole. Although they didn't say Elara's attitude was bad, they subtly suggested that in the future, it would be better to introduce women with lower family backgrounds. They couldn't afford someone like Elara.
In Nicole's view, the man she introduced was quite good.
Even compared to Gerald, he wasn't lacking.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have considered him for Josephine.
But unexpectedly, such a quality man was still not good enough for Elara.
She still thought Gerald was better.
Gerald had no idea what was happening. He didn't have much contact with Elara, just knew each other from the same social circle.
He got married early, and not long after, Elara also got married.
Later, he had Ulysses, and after Ulysses' mother passed away, he became a single man. He heard that Elara also got divorced.
These were not things Gerald deliberately inquired about.
In the same social circle, they would hear about these things during holidays and gatherings.
But Gerald knew that Elara liked him.
Because Elara had confessed to him, but he had rejected her.
Since the two families had a relationship, he only said he wasn't considering remarriage and didn't say he didn't like Elara as a person.
And Gerald was really busy, too busy to date.
Even at work, when someone tried to set him up with women, Gerald firmly refused. Elara knew about these things, too.
At that time, she could accept it because Gerald wasn't just brushing her off; he genuinely didn't want to find another woman.
Elara thought, 'If I can't have him, no one else can.'
And she knew Nicole always hoped Gerald would remarry. Maybe when the time came, she and Gerald would naturally end up together.
But who knew!
Suddenly, a Kathy appeared!
Elara investigated, initially thinking Kathy might be a colleague or subordinate of Gerald.
But the investigation revealed that she wasn't!
With Gerald's status, he wouldn't even come into contact with someone like Kathy.
So, in Elara's view, Kathy must have shamelessly clung to Gerald through previous events.
She must have used some seductive means to lure Gerald into agreeing.
In her heart, Gerald was like a god, and she certainly didn't want other women to desecrate him.
Even if someone were to desecrate him, it should be her!
