Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

Chapter 906: 266: Don’t Mess with the Little Princess of the Thompson Clan!_7
 

At the moment, the most prudent course of action would be to go back and transfer the assets.

Before the Thompson Clan officially ousts the White family.

Otherwise, it would indeed mean the end for the White family!

But in the end, Samuel White was one step too late.

Overnight, the White family disappeared from the ritzy circles of Capital City.

Without any warning whatsoever.

What’s strange is,

The White family suddenly disappearing from the affluent circles, yet no one seemed to be discussing it.

However, from then on, a new phrase emerged within the circles of Capital City.

“Suwen in the south, Betty Cooper in the north. Do not offend the little princess of the Thompson Clan.”

…

On the other side.

The Price Family.

Mrs. Price and Mr. Price were discussing the matter of the White family.

The two families had maintained a certain level of acquaintance, so the abrupt catastrophe that befell the White family, their overnight tumble from affluent to common, was quite lamentable.

Mr. Price took a bite of his doughnuts, “Their family issues are rather complicated, do you remember the tragic incidents of a few rural girls you saw on the news before?”

“Hmm.” Mrs. Price nodded.

Mrs. Price, also a woman from the rural areas, was very attentive to the livelihood news and the incidents involving rural girls who were disfigured or had broken limbs. Unfortunately, the news story vanished without a trace, seemingly suppressed by someone.

Mr. Price said, “All these incidents are related to Shannon White.”

Picking up from there, Mr. Price took a sip of his soy milk, “Therefore, the downfall of the White family isn’t without reason.”

Knowing the terrible deeds Shannon White had done, her parents must have been aware.

Not only were they aware, but they also indulged her.

Everything happens for a reason.

That’s why, the downfall of White family was undeserving of sympathy.

On the contrary, many were clapping their hands in glee about it.

That’s because Shannon White had been involved in so many despicable actions due to her relationship with Mr. White.

Mrs. Price, being a smart woman, did not prod on this matter any further and swiftly changed the subject: “Anyway, did you promote that young girl yet?”

Mr. Price knew she was referring to Delia Frieman and nodded: “Yeah, she’s been promoted to department manager. Speaking of which, how was Noah feeling today?”

Mrs. Price put down her bowl, “He’s just as sullen as he was yesterday.”

What’s more,

Noah Reed had been absent from the company for two straight days.

No sooner had she spoken than Mrs. Price stood up, “I’ll go upstairs and see how he’s doing.”

Mr. Price nodded, he then said: “He’s stubborn, try and talk some sense into him. Delia Frieman is a great girl. If he ends up wooing her, it could be a good relationship. But if he can’t, there are plenty of fish in the sea, right?”

Although Mr. Price liked Delia Frieman quite a bit, if she did not comply, he couldn’t really force her.

“I know.” Mrs. Price nodded.

Mrs. Price was born to a father from the south and a mother from the north, hence she had the gentleness of the Southerners and the boldness of the Northerners woven into her.

Regarding this matter, she had her own perspective.

Although she had never met Delia Frieman, based on the description, she had already accepted her as her future daughter–in–law.

She didn’t even finish middle school yet she had already made such noteworthy achievements.

This indicated that she was an indispensable talent, and with some more polishing in the future, she could definitely make a name for herself.

Although Noah Reed was better educated and 25 years old, he was still too immature. He needed a girlfriend who could curb his impulsiveness.

Clearly.

Delia Frieman was that person.

A while later, Mrs. Price had reached the upstairs.

Noah Reed was already awake.

But his condition wasn’t very good, his face pale, with a messy stubble, looking like he was recovering from a serious illness and devoid of energy.

Simply thinking of Delia Frieman made him cry and rendered him breathless.

This feeling was extremely bitter.

Previously, Noah Reed couldn’t understand why there were people who would jump off rivers or buildings for love in reality.

Now he finally understood.

Because truly losing a loved one could inflict immeasurable pain in the heart.

Noah Reed had thought multiple times.

Maybe this was karma, after all, he had been casually playing around in matters of love.

He greeted his mother upon seeing her, “Mom.”

Even his voice was lacking in energy.

Seeing Noah Reed in this state, Mrs. Price felt heartbroken and said, “Noah, not everything in life goes smoothly. Relationships are no exception, only after enduring twists and turns and encountering trials can we harvest happiness. That’s why, mom loves to see you perk up and not get knocked down by reality. Rejection isn’t something to be afraid of, what’s truly scary is that you become dispirited henceforth. Mom will always support you!”

Noah Reed appeared quite shattered, “Mom, you absolutely have no idea what’s going on between us! It is absolutely impossible between us! Absolutely impossible!”

By the end of the sentence, Noah Reed’s eyes were red.

“Even if we are truly together, the external rumors alone would drown us.”

He did not want to give up on Delia Frieman either.

But then again, he also had no idea how to handle all these issues.

Mrs. Price looked at Noah Reed and spoke seriously: “Even though mom doesn’t know what happened between you two, I want to tell you something, something that I hope you’ll understand. Judging by your reactions, mom is pretty sure that you really like that girl. As your mom, I strongly believe that love can break through all of society’s complications. So if you do love her, be with her. Regardless of whether you live for 100 years or not, that’s all the time you have. This year, you’re already 25. By that logic, you only have 75 years left. While 75 years might seem long, it actually goes by in a blink of an eye. Why bother about other people’s gossip? What’s most important is that you are satisfied at the end of the day.”
