“Mom, you have to help Jacob. All you have to do is pretend to faint and get sick.”

“Jacob’s company is having some cash flow trouble right now, and he’s counting on Xavier to help him land that Eastwood Park project, but Aveline won’t let Xavier help her dad.”

Gloria was confused. “But I’m perfectly fine. Pretending to faint and be sick… that’s such bad luck.”

“Doesn’t Xavier treat Josie really well? And doesn’t he dislike Aveline? So why is he listening to her this time?”

Courtney knew the old woman was very superstitious, and asking her to fake an illness was definitely a taboo for her.

Courtney could only persuade her patiently, “It’s because Aveline said some things to Rupert, and now Rupert dislikes Josie, so he won’t let Xavier help Jacob anymore.”

“But Jacob is Aveline’s own father.”

“Mom, just listen to me and put on an act. Aveline has Rupert backing her up, and she’s become the lead architect for a major project at the. She’s gotten incredibly arrogant. She even threatened to run Jacob’s company into the ground and bankrupt the Sutton family.”

“Mom, Aveline is doing this to get revenge for Bethany.”

Gloria was startled by what Courtney said. “Revenge? What revenge? Jacob didn’t kill Bethany.”

Then she looked at Courtney, annoyed. “Aveline hates her father because Jacob brought you Josie into the Sutton family.”

“Why don’t you and Josie move out? Move back to the house Jacob bought for Aveline will calm down.”

Courtney’s face darkened, and she stuck out her belly. “Mom, you want me to live somewhere else while I’m this pregnant?”

Gloria glanced at Courtney’s large belly, and her words caught in her throat.

She knew Jacob’s sperm wasn’t viable. Courtney’s pregnancy had already been confirmed to be a boy, and the Sutton family’s future heir depended on Courtney delivering this child safely.

“Just. just move out for a little while. Come back when you’re about to give birth, or after Jacob gets that project.”

Courtney really wanted to slap this selfish old woman and kick her a few times. “Do you think Aveline is an idiot? That we can just fool her?”

“If you don’t agree to fake being sick, I won’t force you. But let me be clear: if Jacob goes bankrupt, I’m definitely taking Josie and this son in my belly and remarrying. I won’t let my children suffer.”

Gloria was shocked, then pointed at Courtney in anger. “You… how can you be so heartless?”

“I’m just asking you to fake an illness for your son, and you’re not even willing. If you can be so heartless, why can’t I?”

“Besides, I’m thinking about my children. What about you? Have you thought about your son?”

Gloria was speechless.

Courtney tried to persuade her again. “Mom, faking an illness for your own son… God Almighty will only see it as motherly love. It won’t bring bad luck, only good fortune.”

Gloria squinted at her. “Really?”

“Really. I’ve already asked a Fortune Teller. That’s why I’m telling you to do this. If it didn’t work, wouldn’t it be a waste of effort?”

Gloria thought for a moment and reluctantly agreed.

After coming back from their walk, Xavier and Collin were talking about the government project at Eastwood Park, saying that once it was built, the two elders could often go for a stroll there since it was close to Garden Estate.

Aveline was guiding Valentina and Mason with their drawing. With Aveline’s help, even Mason, who was bad at drawing, was making something that looked decent. The little boy was very happy, feeling that he had talent too, and just needed a good teacher.

Paulina and Miranda watched them with smiles on their faces.
