A Night of Desire

Chapter 407: Chapter 400: Don’t Have to Rely on Clara Grant

Jean Jarvis didn’t dare tell Cedric Grant that they had stolen the paternity test, but she also didn’t want him to use Clara Grant as an excuse to keep pestering Skylar Hayes.

So she softened her tone, trying to reason with him calmly. This might also prevent him from flying into a rage when he eventually found out the truth.

"Cedric, we don’t necessarily have to rely on Clara Grant to connect with the Quinn Family. We still have Chloe..."

Before she could finish, Cedric Grant cut her off. "Chloe? You think Chloe can marry Seth Quinn?"

Jean Jarvis froze for a moment before rushing to say, "Why would she marry Seth Quinn? Isn’t marrying Miles the same thing? Weren’t we just talking to the Quinn Family about having Chloe marry Miles a while back?

If Chloe marries Miles, our Grant Family will be in-laws with the Quinn Family all the same, won’t we? And we’d be true in-laws! Chloe is your biological daughter, after all. Clara Grant isn’t. Even if she manages to marry Seth Quinn, there’s no guarantee she’d help the Grant Family."

Cedric glared at her. "Are you still hoping Chloe can marry Miles? Wake up! Miles doesn’t like Chloe. He won’t marry her. Besides, is Miles even in the same league as Seth Quinn?

Seth Quinn is the future head of the Quinn Family. All the family’s power will be in his hands. What good would it do for Chloe to marry Miles? She’d just be carrying the empty title of the ’Second Young Mistress.’"

"So you’re dead set on riding Clara Grant’s coattails, is that it?" Jean Jarvis’s voice suddenly rose.

The words had barely left her mouth when Cedric Grant slammed his hand on a nearby cabinet. "What kind of nonsense is that!" freēwebnovel.com

He had used considerable force, and the loud BANG from his hand hitting the cabinet made Jean Jarvis flinch.

Downstairs, Chloe Grant heard the noise. Fearing her father had discovered that they’d stolen the paternity test and exposed Clara Grant’s true parentage, she instinctively ran upstairs.

Upstairs, the single slap hadn’t been enough to quell his anger. Cedric Grant’s voice was still thick with rage as he looked at Jean Jarvis and continued, "So what if I’m riding her coattails? As long as it benefits the Grant Family, what won’t I do?

And it’s not just me. You need to go find Skylar Hayes yourself, repent to her, and beg for her forgiveness. If you can’t move her the first time, then try a second. If twice doesn’t work, try a third. If three times isn’t enough, then go every single day. Don’t stop until she agrees to forgive you."

Jean Jarvis scoffed. "What? You want me to repent to Skylar Hayes and beg for her forgiveness? Ha! In your dreams, Cedric Grant! I’ve felt inferior to her for half my life, and now you want me to get on my knees and beg? Where would that leave my pride? You’d better remember, I am your wife. Are you really asking your own wife to bow down to another woman?"

"Jean, if getting on your knees can be exchanged for endless wealth and luxury, why not do it?" ’Status and fortune are all that matter! Reputation? Hmph, what good is that?’

"Clara Grant isn’t even married into the Quinn Family yet, and you’re already willing to stoop this low. What happens when she actually marries in? If she tells you to kick me and Chloe out of the Grant household, will you just obey her without question?"

Cedric Grant, seeing that she was just being difficult and completely failing to understand his "noble sacrifice" for the sake of the family business, was already furious. So when she asked her question, he answered without a moment’s hesitation. A single word: "Yes!" freeweɓnovel.cѳm

The moment the word left his lips, the door was pushed open. Chloe Grant was standing in the doorway.
