Chapter 19: I’ll Definitely Bring Her Back For You
His uncle and family left with all sorts of doubts. Janna Sands sent them away arrogantly.
After closing the door, Janna Sands still hadn’t calmed down from her earlier emotions. She said proudly, “Son, let me tell you. This is the first time in a few years that I’ve acted so arrogantly in front of your uncle and the rest. This is really refreshing.”
William Scott chuckled. “Yes, yes. I can tell that you’re really enjoying it. However, Uncle’s family doesn’t have any bad intentions. They just like to show off a little. That’s human nature.”
Janna Sands snorted and said, “Why are they always showing off? Yes, his family is richer than ours, and he’s doing better than us. His son and daughter-in-law are doing well too, but there’s no need for that kind of attitude, right? Especially when they’re always belittling you. That makes me even angrier. What’s wrong with our son? Even though he hasn’t started his career transfer yet, he’ll definitely be better than them in another two years. Son, you have to work hard for Mom!”
William Scott smiled. “That’s right, that’s right. I’ll definitely fight for Mom’s sake. I can’t let you lose face.”
“That’s more like it.” Janna Sands waved her fist and picked up a peach.
After taking two bites of the peach, Janna Sands suddenly coughed lightly and said, “Son, Mom has bad temper and only cared about myself. I’ve caused you trouble.”
“What kind of trouble is this? It’s just a small matter.” William Scott said casually without a care.
“I’ll help you pay for Grandma’s birthday. We don’t really care about the 10 or 20 thousand yuan, but where are you going to invite Yvette Quinn? Let me think… Hehe, when the time comes, I’ll say that Yvette Quinn is busy with work. She’s the CEO of a big company and doesn’t have that much time. It’s normal for her to be busy. If she can’t go, what can they do?”
William Scott’s face darkened. “You really don’t believe me?”
“How could I believe you. Are you too immersed in the character?” Janna Sands reached out and grabbed William Scott’s ear.
“Didn’t you see Yvette Quinn call me just now?” William Scott tilted his head with a bitter expression.
Janna Sands glared at him and said, “Who knows whose number you saved as Yvette Quinn. Do you think your mom is stupid? Your mom is smart. You’re still too young to play such petty tricks with me.”
......
“Mom, I really take my hats off to you. How dare you say that to Uncle then?”
“They forced me to do it. I’m just trying to let them have a taste of their own medicine. We’ll talk about it when the time comes. Rascal, I’ve contacted a few more people for you. Come, come. I have photos of all of them. Come and see which one you like. Let’s go and meet them.”
Janna Sands let go of his hand and picked up her cell phone. She opened the photo gallery and said, “Look, this one is a teacher. She’s knowledgeable, reasonable, and gentle. When she has a child in the future, he wouldn’t need to go out for tuition. Look at this. This is a white-collar worker from a company. One look and you can tell that she’s energetic. This is a businesswoman. Although she’s a little old, she has good financial foundation. Take a good look!”
William Scott hurriedly covered his head and said, “Mom, don’t be anxious. I really have a girlfriend now.”
“Really?” Janna Sands glared at William Scott.
“Yes.” William Scott nodded repeatedly.
Janna Sands crossed her arms and said, “Alright, I’ll believe you when you bring her back.”
“Fine. Then I’ll make an appointment with her and see when she has time.”
“Let’s do it now. Don’t play dumb.”
“Alright, I’ll call her now.” William Scott shook his head and smiled bitterly as he picked up his cell phone to call Yvette Quinn.
Janna Sands took a look at the name displayed on the phone and snorted coldly. She had a look of complete disbelief on her face, but she still moved closer. She was obviously trying to eavesdrop on the phone.
William Scott didn’t hide. He even leaned his head closer to his mother’s ear. When the call connected, he immediately said, “Yvette, my mother just doesn’t believe that you, the big CEO, are my girlfriend. She insists that I bring you home. I can’t take it anymore. When are you free?”
“This… I’ve been a little busy recently. I can’t confirm it now. I’ll go over when I’m sure that I’m free.”
Knowing that Yvette Quinn must have guessed that this was an act, William Scott continued, “It’s okay, I understand. My mom is a reasonable person, but she’s just always worried about me.”
“Please send my regards to Uncle and Auntie. The company has been really busy recently. I really can’t leave.”
“Alright, that’s all for now. We’ll talk about this later.”
William Scott hung up after saying that. Even though he believed that Yvette Quinn’s ability to adapt to situations was not bad, who knew what would happen if something went wrong?
His mother was a smart person and was definitely not that easily fooled.
After putting down the phone, William Scott turned to look at his mother. Janna Sands just tilted her head and looked at him. The suspicion in her eyes had already expressed her intentions.
William Scott pursed his lips. “You still won’t believe me? You heard her, right? She said that she’ll come over when she’s free.”
“Haha… I also heard that she’s been very busy recently. She can keep busy until the end of time.” Janna Sands laughed coldly. “This excuse is really too cliché. It’s too insincere. Moreover, you can get anyone to disguise as her. Knowing that I like Yvette Quinn, you had to get someone to impersonate her. Are you trying to coax your mother or are you trying to anger me?”
William Scott was speechless. “That’s her. Tell me, how can you believe that my girlfriend is Yvette Quinn?”
“You want me to believe that? Bring her back. I’ll only believe that when I see the real person.”
“It’s just bringing her back. I’ll definitely bring her back within a week.”
“Are you sure?” Janna Sands’s expression softened.
William Scott said confidently, “Absolutely. If I don’t bring back a daughter-in-law that you’re satisfied with within a week, I’ll go on blind dates as you wish. I’ll marry whoever you fancy.”
“You said it yourself, kid. Don’t think that you can just use a random woman as a shield. I won’t ask for Yvette Quinn, but at the very least, she has to catch my eye.”
“No problem.” William Scott didn’t emphasize that it was Yvette Quinn. Who knew if Yvette Quinn would really come. Even if she agreed to come, what if there were too many things she was caught up with and she didn’t have time to come?
He had a pact with Yvette Quinn, but he couldn’t possibly force her to come over. If there was really an issue, he could just find another woman to pretend to be his girlfriend then.
