Chapter 111: Jaxon
Cecilia wanted to take Emma to visit Elena’s house today, as she had the day off. However, Emma waved her hand and said with confidence, "Mommy, I’m going to make big money today. Please apologize to Great Grandma for me!"
Cecilia shook her head helplessly. Letting Emma play was fine; after all, she had been in school all week. With that in mind, she went out alone and headed to Elena’s house.
As soon as she arrived, she heard an unfamiliar male voice.

She quietly walked in and sat in a corner, listening to their conversation. The speaker resembled James by about fifty percent, which meant he was James’ brother and Mary’s father, Grayson.
He looked a few years younger than James. Despite the fact that they look alike, he didn’t have James’ friendly eyes but instead seemed more shrewd.
Next to Grayson sat a somewhat younger man, seated beside Mary. He was presumably her husband, Jaxon. Cecilia had heard about him from Elena, saying he came from a good family and was handsome; most importantly, he treated Mary well.

Elena frowned. "I really don’t have that much money..."
