The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress

Neither of the couple are fools. When the wife said this, Edward Evans immediately understood what his wife meant.

Edward hesitated, "Given what’s happened, wouldn’t it be inappropriate for us to go to the in-laws’?"

"Just say my mom is sick." Lucy Briggs found an excuse.

Seeing her husband still hesitating, Lucy said, "It’s not that I don’t want to help. You saw it just now, Sister-in-law’s attitude was as if the two of us bullied Ivy.

Let me tell you, if we keep getting involved, Sister-in-law will definitely hate us to death in the future."

"..."

"You know, Sister-in-law has always liked to compete with me. With something like this happening to Ivy, Sister-in-law must feel humiliated, and us hanging around in front of her will only make it worse."

Edward thought for a moment, felt his wife’s words made sense, and agreed, "Alright, we will leave at first light."

Lucy looked at her husband, feeling gratified. No matter how uncomfortable it was staying in this family, at least her man was someone who listened to her, and his heart was with hers.

"Edward, I really fear that Violet will learn bad things from Ivy."

Edward was even more afraid. Edward only had this precious daughter. If Violet were to do something like this, he couldn’t survive.

The more he thought about it, the more terrified he became. Edward said, "You pack up, and I’ll go find my dad."

"Okay."

The couple split up to take action.

Edward arrived at the living room and saw his father and eldest brother there. Eldest brother had recovered but still looked sorrowful and resentful, while Sister-in-law was still sobbing.

"Dad, Brother, I just got a call from my father-in-law. He said my mother-in-law is ill, and Lucy is very worried. I have to go to the Briggs Family now. If there’s anything, just call me," Edward said earnestly.

Old Master Evans looked at his younger son, knowing he was avoiding getting involved in this matter.

Old Master Evans didn’t blame him. After all, dealing with this issue was indeed a headache. The eldest daughter-in-law was a particularly troublesome person, and the old master also didn’t want the two brothers to have a falling out over this matter.

Let me be the bad guy, he thought.

"Go ahead, give my regards to your in-laws," Old Master Evans said tiredly.

"I understand, Dad."

"Take Violet with you."

Violet, an unmarried girl, Old Master Evans was equally worried about her picking up bad habits from Ivy.

Edward said, "Mother-in-law has always been fond of Violet. When we spoke on the phone just now, Father-in-law also mentioned taking Violet along."

"Hmm."

Edward glanced at his elder brother and sister-in-law, exchanged a few pleasantries, and left.

Edward hurried back to his room to find his wife giving their daughter a lecture.

"What you saw today, keep it to yourself and don’t let it out! From now on, you’re not allowed to associate with Ivy anymore, not even a word!"

"Mom, I understand," Violet said quietly, hanging her head.

Lucy looked at her daughter, frustrated at her inability to live up to expectations, and said, "Look at you... what am I to say about you? How did your father and I end up with such a little fool like you!

That Ivy used you to get close to Adrian Desmond, and you, the fool, let yourself get played around.

Now, I don’t know if your aunt knows about this. If she does, don’t even think about maintaining this family relationship in the future."

Violet said, "Aunt is such a good person, she won’t hold this against us because of Ivy."

"Don’t underestimate your aunt; she’s sharp. What if she already knows that Ivy has a crush on Adrian Desmond?"

Violet didn’t believe it, "No way. I took Ivy to the Johnson Family to play with Aunt, and she received us warmly, didn’t say anything."

Lucy laughed coldly, "She was giving face to the Briggs Family, not to you two. You’re really naive!"

"Yes, I’m naive, alright?" Violet retorted defiantly.

"What? You’re angry because I said something to you? I’m your mother; can’t I say a few words to you?

You call Sienna ’aunt,’ but you’re only two years younger than her. Her child can already buy soy sauce, and she’s managing such a big company, look at you..."

Seeing the two were about to argue, Edward interrupted his wife, saying, "Different growing environments. Our Violet is neither arrogant nor impatient, is gentle and kind to others, and that’s already excellent.

Sienna grew up without anyone’s protection, which made her rely on herself, resulting in her strong, resilient, intelligent nature today.

Would you bear to let our Violet suffer all the hardships Sienna endured?"

Lucy sighed, "Alas..."

Edward said sternly, "Violet Evans, remember, if you turn out like Ivy, without discipline and commit such disgraceful acts, I’ll give you rat poison, and your mother and I will die along with you."

Hearing her father say this, Violet’s heart ached a bit, "Mom and Dad, I’m not smart enough, not pretty enough, I’m good for nothing compared to Aunt, but I’m not the kind who doesn’t know boundaries. I’ll never do the disgraceful things Ivy did."

"Good child."

...

Lucy Briggs took her husband and daughter back to her natal home.

Lucy’s parents were surprised by their daughter and son-in-law’s sudden return.

Lucy then explained the situation with Ivy to her parents. After listening, Annan Briggs smashed the purple clay pot in his hand.

"Adrian Desmond, of all people, she dares to covet, does she really think all our Briggs Family members are dead?" Annan Briggs roared.

Rebecca advised her husband, "Annan, keep your voice down; if you disturb the grandparents, it will be troublesome."

Rebecca recalled the events of the family banquet and said, "Back then, Ivy kept looking at Adrian Desmond, trying to get close to him. I just thought Adrian was too handsome, didn’t think much of it. I really didn’t expect Ivy had set her sights on Adrian."

Adrian Desmond is good-looking, even Rebecca couldn’t help but glance a couple more times; let alone a young girl.

Lucy always disliked Ivy; even at the last family gathering, it was Ivy who insisted on tagging along.

"Adrian is good-looking, and Sienna is also a national beauty. Where did Ivy get the confidence that Adrian would fancy her?"

"Alas..." Rebecca sighed. After all, it’s her daughter’s in-laws, and it’s inappropriate to say too much.

"How is your father-in-law planning to deal with this?"

Lucy laughed coldly, "Father-in-law has always been biased towards the eldest son’s family. I guess in the end, this will be left unresolved."

Annan Briggs advised his daughter, "Although they are all your children, with more kids, there’s always a favorite. As long as it’s not excessive, don’t worry too much about it."

"I know, Edward treats me well, and Violet is obedient and sensible. I’m content."

Annan thought for a moment and said, "Only we need to know about Ivy’s crush on Adrian Desmond, no need to spread it around."

"Dad, I understand."

"Alas..."
