But Jean Beckman was not persuaded.
Without waiting for Jean Beckman to speak, Mrs. Summer continued, "Auntie Mary has watched you grow up, and she would surely treat you like her own daughter if you married into their family. That way, you wouldn't have to deal with any mother-in-law conflicts. For a girl, the biggest fear is marrying the wrong person."
"Jean, if you miss this opportunity, there won't be another. You must seize the chance."
Jean Beckman frowned slightly.
Without thinking, she knew why her mother would say such things.
It must be that Mary Perryne said something in front of her mother.
But Jean Beckman just couldn't accept it.
She wouldn't actively pursue Mandel Thompson; she wanted Mandel Thompson to come crawling back to her and bow down at her feet.
Only in this way,
would she consider whether to marry into the Thompson Clan.
Jean Beckman then said, "Mom, please stop. Mandel Thompson and I are not fated to be together."
