Chapter 117

"I should not have done that, but you know I don't feel even the slightest bit of guilt . I'm not fourteen, the nerve of her to speak such matters to me in my own home in front of a guest just because she's the elder . I never feel like respect is warranted only due to age . "

Advertis.e.m.e.nt"Have things always been this way?"

"Yes and no . Family is always quarrelsome . I'm not too fond of my father's family . Even less so after my mother died . There were always people who wanted to be my mother figure without asking my permission . I think I wasn't quite out of elementary school when she married my uncle . She wanted to grow closer to my father so she tried to take me under her wing to teach me manners and she started spanking me . I don't know how old I was but I ended up running around the house wihout pants screaming she was trying witchcraft right into one of my father's meetings . She was never invited back and I got a nanny I liked . "

Ellie laughed at this memory . "No wonder she thinks you have no manners .  You're quite naughty now even . I'm glad you never grew out of that . "Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting .

Henry joined her laugh with a small chortle of his own . "I'm not sorry . One of the main reasons why I didn't want to be demoted to a vice president of a subsidiary or lose shares was honestly but I didn't want her to sink her claws into my father's work . I hate it that she still talks ill of both of my parents now that they are no longer with us . It's as if she was just biding her time . " Henry's tone suddenly changed to serious as he realized a hole in their scheme . "You know I was wondering about our separation plan . If we do decide to go with an annulment can she sue me with the reason being I committed fraud to confirm a point that I was never actually married?"

Ellie rolled her eyes . "I mean I'm sure these days you can sue anyone for anything . But in a court of law in front of a judge I highly doubt that she would have a case . But to be safe, I'm sure you can call up the family lawyer to have a chat about the issue . I don't think as well that your uncle would want to sue his own boss . I know your family is complicated but if the paper gets a word of something like this it won't bode well for the company . It would destroy the family reputation potentially . Not without mentioning it would cause a rift and would be incredibly expensive to even start .  I don't know the family well enough to judge this situation . "

"The Wong family as you have correctly guessed does value unity and pride itself on that very much . My uncle Wallace is very much a man who will do anything to get the nagging of his wife to stop . Dorota does usually get her way in most things which is why she behaved so today . Wallace will believe her side of the story over mine . " Henry bit his lip as he did truly consider the possibility of such a suit . It would be humiliating to say the least but not as bad if he'd married a society chit and had her come for his money during divorce proceedings
