Standing not far from Jack Ferguson was a middle-aged woman with long brown hair draped naturally behind her back. She was tall and slender. Although she was no longer young, the corners of her eyes were full of wrinkles, and the skin on her face was sagging, but it was obvious that this middle-aged woman had been a very beautiful woman when she was young. She was Jack Ferguson's wife, Connor's third aunt, Eugenia da Silva!
"How's Alfredo's health?" Eugenia, who was wearing makeup despite the fact that it was already late at night, asked her husband, Jack Ferguson, who was sitting in a chair in front of her with a solemn expression.
"It's not looking good!" Jack Ferguson hesitated for a moment when he heard his wife's question, but he still chose to tell the truth.
"In that case, what do you plan to do?" Eugenia didn't seem surprised by her husband's answer. Her eyes flashed, and she continued to ask her husband, who was in a very bad mood.
"What do I plan to do? At nine o 'clock tomorrow morning, Warrent will return from the Ferguson family manor in the suburbs. Butler Martinez, Warrent, and I will have an internal meeting to discuss the current situation, but yesterday, Butler Martinez secretly sent his trusted subordinate to take the train to Loen to find Connor and get him to come back! "Jack rubbed his temples tiredly and said helplessly," That's right, Warrent's right.
"Hmph! That damned old man Martinez sent someone to find Connor, but he didn't even inform you, the head of the Ferguson family. He really looks down on you, Jack Ferguson! " This time, Eugenia wasn't very satisfied with her husband's answer. She coldly snorted and said very discontentedly. Moreover, when she mentioned Connor's name again, Eugenia's eyes clearly showed a trace of coldness. Obviously, she didn't have a good impression of Connor Ferguson.
Feeling the dissatisfaction in the words of his wife, who had been with him for more than 30 years and had given birth to a son and a daughter for him, Jack Ferguson suddenly felt unusually irritated. He continued to rub his temples and said, "It's normal.
"That's normal. It's not like you don't know that Butler Martinez has been the butler of the Ferguson family since my father's generation. He's still the butler of our family even after my brother Alfredo's generation. He's been serving the Ferguson family for almost all of his life. Plus, Alfredo doesn't really care about the family's affairs. Butler Martinez handles almost all of the family's affairs. His prestige in our family is unrivaled except for Alfredo!"
"If it wasn't for Romero, the nephew of Martinez's butler, who is very close to me, and secretly told me that Martinez had sent someone to bring Conner back when we were drinking at noon today, I wouldn't have known about this until now!"
"Isn't Connor doing very well in Loen? Would he still be interested in the things in the house? Furthermore, he was the one who wanted to leave the family back then. At that time, he even said that he would never return. Now, he still has the face to come back and inherit the family? "
"And you people from the Ferguson family are really despicable wretches! Connor Ferguson doesn't care about you anymore, and you people still have to go forward and beg him to inherit the family. "Hearing her husband's words, the coldness in Eugenia's eyes became more and more intense.
Understanding the meaning of his wife's words, Jack Ferguson put down his hand that was rubbing his temples. He opened his eyes and gazed deeply at Eugenia. After a few seconds, he said in a deep voice, "You're right.
After a few seconds, he said in a deep voice, "Desilio Ranieri of the East Khoy Company increased our ore sales quota. This matter was done by Connor. And the 10,000 pounds that Martinez brought back from Loen last time was also given by Connor. If not for these two sources of income, the two manors that our family mortgaged to the Empire Bank in the northern suburbs would have been taken away by the Empire Bank! These two matters have already shown that although Connor hasn't been back for ten years, he still has the family in his heart! "
"You really believe in Butler Martinez. You believe everything that old man says?" Eugenia immediately curled the corner of her mouth and retorted sarcastically to her husband's defense of Connor Ferguson.
Hearing Eugenia's words, Jack Ferguson sighed deeply and stood up from his chair. He walked up to Eugenia and held her hands. He shook his head and said very sincerely in a low voice, "I know what you want me to do. To be honest, if I were twenty years younger …"
"No! Ten years old! I really would have done that, but now I understand that it's impossible. Connor is Alfredo's only son. Whether it's in the 'Imperial Law of Succession' or within the family, he's the undisputed first heir of the family. And he has the support of Butler Martinez. Warrent and I can hardly pose any threat to him! "
Eugenia didn't hide her disappointment as she looked at her dispirited husband. After a few seconds of staring at her husband, she moved closer to Jack Ferguson's ear and whispered, "I know Connor is the first heir of the Ferguson family, but if he dies, will the Imperial Law of Succession and the Ferguson family allow a dead person to inherit your family?"
Jack Ferguson didn't expect to hear such words from his wife. A look of shock appeared on his face. It took him a few seconds to recover from the shock. He subconsciously lowered his voice and asked Eugenia in a very serious tone, "Eugenia, what are you trying to do?"
"What can a woman like me do? I just want my husband to inherit the Ferguson family and become Earl Ferguson, instead of living a cowardly life with the title of a knight. Jack Ferguson, have you forgotten how you resented Alfredo for inheriting the family after your father's death? "
"And Jack Ferguson, don't you know that your pitiful knighthood isn't hereditary?"
"Your knighthood will be gone after your death. Your son will inherit nothing. He'll go from a noble to a lowly commoner! You've been a coward your whole life. You can't let your son continue to be a coward, right? You, as a father, don't plan for Henry, but as a mother, how can I not plan for the rest of his life? "Eugenia withdrew her hands from her husband's grasp and said coldly.
