Yvonne did not think that it was Mrs. Frey who came u p with that.
Moreover, Mrs. Frey adored Jason immensely. How would she be able to bear the fact that he was going to work? It was the same case with Mr. Frey.
So it was quite obvious who was the one who came up with the idea.
As expected, Mrs. Frey averted her gaze guiltily. She said nervously, "No, it was indeed my idea. Jason is grown up now, and he certainly cannot always stay at home.”
"Then why don’t you ask him to go and look for a simple job?" Yvonne became slightly impatient.
Mrs. Frey glared at her. "That's why I came to meet you. Jason told me that a manager can sit in the office all day long, and all they need to do is sign the documents and manage their subordinates. The job is rather easy. Why don't you mention it to my son-in-law and let Jason go and work there?”
"Mom, do you know how high the qualifications of the managers who work for the Lancaster Group are? Jason is not even qualified to be hired as an assistant. How could he sit in the office and sign documents? How can you make it seem so easy?" Yvonne sighed helplessly. 1
Mrs. Frey thought that she was lying. "From what I’ve seen on TV, it’s always like this. Now, you’re telling me that it's not easy to be a manager. Did you lie to me? Are you purposely prohibiting Jason from working at the Lancaster Group?” 1
Yvonne was angry now. "Am I that kind of person? If Jason is indeed capable, it's fine even if you ask me to beg Henry for the job. But Jason is incapable, and he's too arrogant. If anything bad happens, I'll be the one responsible for it.”
"You're his older sister. You should take responsibility for him," Mrs. Frey said irrationally.
Yvonne felt a tinge of sadness. "Yes, I'm his older sister. I should think on his behalf, but have you ever done that for me?”
"When did we not think on your behalf? If we didn't do that, why would you ever marry Henry?"
"I was the one who fought for it!" Yvonne shouted all o f a sudden.
Mrs. Frey was frightened by her. "Why did you shout a t me? I'm your mom. How dare you shout at me! How daring you are now!”
"That’s enough, Mrs. Frey!" Sue remained quiet all the time. Now, she could not bear it anymore. She stepped forward and shielded Yvonne from Mrs. Frey’s sight. She fixed her glance at Mrs. Frey ferociously. "You've said what you wanted to say now. Please leave."
"Leave? She hasn’t given me her promise yet." Mrs. Frey pointed at Yvonne, reluctant to leave.
Yvonne averted her gaze and pretended to not hear what she said.
Mrs. Frey was infuriated. "D*mn it! How dare you..."
"Mrs. Frey!" Sue interrupted her. "We knew your purpose in coming here now. I'll report it to Mr. Lancaster. So can you please leave now? If not, I'll have to ask the security guards to escort you out."
"I’ll leave now!" Mrs. Frey became disheartened and quickly compromised when she heard Sue mention the security guards.
"Please," Sue gestured to her with a cold face.
Mrs. Frey threw a stare at Yvonne secretly before she moved her plump body and left.
Before she left, she stopped walking as she was still worried about it. "Will you inform my son-in-law about it?"
"Don’t worry, Mrs. Frey. I’ll do it. But I'm not sure if Mr. Lancaster would agree to it," Sue said with a cold voice.
Mrs. Frey still could not bring herself to reconcile with that. For her, she wanted to achieve her aim since she had voiced it out in the first place.
But she did not have much confidence when she thought about Henry.
After Mrs. Frey left, Sue led Yvonne back to the villa.
Yvonne sat on the sofa and smiled bitterly. "Sue, I'm s o sorry. It's rather embarrassing for you to be involved in my family affairs.”
"I'm the one who should apologize to you. Madam, do you mind how I treated your mother?" Sue asked her i n an imploring tone.
Yvonne shook her head. "No, I don't. I know how my mother is.”
"That’s good." Sue breathed a sigh of relief, and she could not help but look closely at Yvonne's face.
Yvonne became rather nervous, being stared at like that. She then touched her face. "Sue, is there something on my face?”
"No, I just feel that it's slightly strange.” Sue narrowed her eyes.
Yvonne was puzzled. "What is strange?”
"Your appearance. I find that your appearance does not resemble anyone from the Freys.” Sue said. 2
She had met everyone from the Freys. Although it was a while back, she still remembered their appearances distinctly. Besides, it was difficult to forget how mean and vicious they appeared.
