Chapter 312
Skyler’s face turned a bit sour, “What are you trying to say?”
Clearly, that remark hit a nerve.
No matter how great Liam was, he didn’t end up marrying the rich businessman’s daughter, did he?
Valeria chuckled and said, “It’s no big deal, just an example. Although Celeste’s overall evaluation isn’t that great, she’s still a knowledgeable and virtuous person. Not only does the old lady like her, but I also find her quite likable.”
Poor Celeste, just arrived and already got dragged into their conflict.
Skyler and Valeria didn’t get along, and she knew that since she got married into the reed’s family.
The main reason for this conflict was the issue of their children inheriting the company.
Quantum’s growth was credited to Orville, and if he hadn’t died so young, there’s no doubt that he would have inherited Quanturn.
But Orville died young. At the time of his death, his children were still young. For a long time, Clyde managed Quantum. Skyler, although carefree in the Reed family, had no say in the company.
Before Liam came of age, Clyde had control over Quantum, and Valeria’s status also rose.
Add in her family background, Valeria was in the spotlight back then, who even remembered Skyler from the Reed family?
Skyler, a widow with no fame in J City, only got people’s sympathy when mentioned.
How could the proud Skyler not complain about being suffocated by Valeria?
It wasn’t until Liam rose to power in Quantum, with enough strength to challenge Clyde, that she could finally hold her head high.
Skyler and Valeria fought openly and secretly on various occasions, and their fallout in J City’s high society was no secret.
Six months ago, because of Wesley’s issue, the old lady scolded Valeria. Since then, she’s restrained herself quite a bit, and her presence in her usual parties and banquets has become rare.
After such a long time, the two still fight when they meet. And they just had to drag her into it.
Celeste cursed in her heart but tried to be polite, “I’m quite outgoing, and you might not understand me well. If I know any virtuous girls, I can introduce them to Wesley.”
As soon as she finished, Kaylee couldn’t help but laugh.
Skyler glanced at her, and she reluctantly held back her laughter.
Celeste’s words were so arrogant, her second aunt didn’t genuinely compliment her. There was a hint of sarcasm, but this silly girl insisted on the positive side, even offering to introduce girlfriends to Wesley?
What kind of people could Celeste, with her status, know? Even Valeria didn’t care for her, so how could the people she introduced be valued?
Sure enough, after Celeste finished, Valeria paused, glanced at her, and said lightly, “Wesley just got back, learning more skills is the key, there’s
no rush for this.”
The point was, she didn’t think highly of the people Celeste could introduce.
“Young people should make more friends, there’s no harm in that,” Celeste seemed not to hear the rejection in Valeria’s words, and turned to Wesley, “Wesley, let me know when you want to get a serious girlfriend, I’ll help you out.”
Wesley looked at her deeply, smiled slightly, and said slowly, “Thank you.“
