Chapter 77: Rules
James Bennett finally couldn’t suppress his curiosity and softly asked, "Mr. Foster, I’m a bit curious, what is your status in the Foster family? Why do you have such strong financial power?"
William Foster listened and smiled slowly as he answered, "In my Foster family, I belong to the category of being somewhat older, having a certain reputation but not much real power. Our Foster family has always enjoyed high prestige in the industry and has amassed colossal wealth over generations, mostly left by diligent ancestors."
"Luckily, I manage a small portion of this vast empire, and after some time and effort, the profits are quite substantial. Hence, I now have enough ability to provide Clara with a very favorable living environment, allowing her to be like a cherished little princess, happy and carefree."
Upon hearing this, Clara Bennett immediately stood up to defend him, remembering how he had once mentioned that his influence within his wealthy family wasn’t that significant.
"Brother, can’t you stop delving into these matters? Actually, I don’t care about his specific role or position in the Foster family. For me, it’s entirely irrelevant. Marriage is our personal matter, and what I value most is his character and personality; external factors don’t matter to me!"
As a matter of fact, Clara Bennett never intended to become someone pampered by others from the beginning.
Even if William Foster were to face business failure and lose his fortune in the future, Clara Bennett is confident enough to rely on her own hands to rebuild a career and sustain their future life together.
After hearing this, James Bennett shook his head helplessly, expressing intense speechlessness. Meanwhile, Edward Bennett, hearing his sister speak that way, displayed a mocking expression, with a slight twitch at the corners of his mouth.
Standing beside him, Charles Bennett couldn’t control his emotions and whispered in Edward Bennett’s ear, "Look, she hasn’t officially become a member of the Foster family yet, but she’s keen to speak on their behalf. Are we, her real family, the true supporters, or is it the other side? She’s really leaning towards them."
Initially, the brothers were all trying to find a good match for their beloved sister, trying every possible means to learn more about the Foster family and her future brother-in-law. But it seems they’re met with cold dismissal rather than fulfilling their purpose, leaving them somewhat discontented.
