Chapter 2497: Chapter 203: Ruthless
The Nelson family in C City is a renowned and prestigious family, truly more illustrious than the Carter family.
With the Wallace family’s status, attempting to approach the Nelson family would be nothing short of wishful thinking, but with the backing of the Lucas family, this matter becomes effortlessly manageable.
In an instant, Mrs. Wallace realized the benefits of forming a marriage alliance with a top-tier wealthy family.
Lily smiled, "Of course, this marriage was arranged by Sir. With him stepping in, the Nelson family has agreed, just waiting for the Wallace family to give their consent."
As soon as she heard this, Mrs. Wallace’s old, murky eyes suddenly glinted with greed.
"Mr. Cooper really has thought it through, didn’t... didn’t expect he could arrange such a good marriage for our Winona."
"Not at all, he’s merely sharing my father’s burdens, just a small favor." Thinking of Mr. Lucas and his cunning nature, Lily felt slightly helpless.
Only Aidan Lucas could conjure up such a method to teach the Wallace family a lesson.
"Still, we must be grateful. We’re all relatives, thanks to Mr. Cooper for his trouble. By the way, does Mr. Cooper know which young master from the Nelson family he has in mind for our Winona?
I remember there are three young masters of suitable marriage age in the Nelson family, each exceptional among his peers. Our Winona really hit the jackpot to have Mr. Cooper personally arrange such a great marriage."
Mrs. Wallace couldn’t stop grinning, but as soon as she finished speaking, she noticed Lily Redington’s originally smiling eyebrows suddenly froze.
Lily Redington, with a look of surprise, said, "Mrs. Wallace, have you misunderstood something... Considering the Wallace family’s standing, and Winona Wallace’s reputation, even if my Sir has influence, he couldn’t possibly suggest that the young masters of the Nelson family marry Miss Wallace. The person Miss Wallace is marrying is not one of the young masters of the Nelson family, but their second uncle, James Nelson."
"James, James... James Nelson!" The joy on Mrs. Wallace’s face instantly vanished.
Her eyes widened in disbelief, "That James... James Nelson, nearing fifty and unmarried. He’s, he’s a fool!"
Lily’s face immediately became solemn, not hesitating to become a villain in front of such people.
"Mrs. Wallace, if you think little of James Nelson, then let’s forget it, no need to insult him like this. It was only because my Sir stepped in that the Nelson family agreed, otherwise... given the Wallace family’s situation, the Nelson family wouldn’t even consider it."
Indeed, Mrs. Wallace knew that Lily Redington was speaking the truth.
Take, for instance, the nearly fifty-year-old James Nelson; even though in his childhood, Mrs. Nelson’s neglect led to a fever damaging his mind, for decades, he has been considered an ideal husband among many prestigious families.
Marrying a fool as a husband is naturally pitiful for the girl.
But the benefits behind this are immense.
James Nelson’s mind was damaged due to Mrs. Nelson’s oversight, so now, she still holds deep guilt and takes special care of her second son.
If any family’s daughter married James Nelson, not only would the girl herself become distinguished, but the entire family would also prosper and flourish.
Because everyone knows, whether it’s Mr. Nelson or Mrs. Nelson, they would both appreciate the gesture and would take good care of the girl’s family.
Just because Mrs. Nelson was always worried about others not being able to take good care of her foolish son, she never found a wife for him.
The happiness of the granddaughter, and the family’s interests, what should be chosen?
Given the substantial benefits, Mrs. Wallace didn’t need any urging, quickly speaking up, "No no no, it was my mistake a moment ago. For the Wallace family to marry into the Nelson family is an honor and something the Wallace family is eager to pursue. Mr. Nelson is handsome and talented. For our Winona to marry him, there’s no better marriage."
And thus, the marriage of Winona Wallace to the second master of the Nelson family was thereby finalized.
