Suddenly, everything became clear to her. She looked at Larissa differently, even shChapter 153


    owing a hint of affection.


    “If this works out, I will treat you as my own daughter from now on.”


    Larissa suppressed her excitement and replied obediently, “I will also go back and try to persuade Grandma.”

    Prisci took Bonnie back to the Wilburn’s mansion.


    She had informed Dillon in advance, so he was waiting at the door and personally helped Bonnie out of the car.


    Tania also appeared very respectful.


    Bonnie’s bedroom was moved from the small room to therge room next door, which had excellent lighting and venttion.


    As for the attendants, Prisci arranged for Bonnie’s caregiver to stay, so that if Bonnie was ever dissatisfied at the Wilburn’s mansion, she would know right away.


    Dillon invited Prisci to stay for lunch.


    Prisci wanted to spend more time with Bonnie, so she agreed.


    During lunch, Dillon brought up the matter of Bonnie and Frank at the table.


    He was all in favor of it.

    After all, if this worked out, he would be considered half a son to Frank, and that would mean unimaginable wealth.


    He deeply regretted not bringing his mother over from Baritel sooner, had he known such a good thing was possible.


    Prisci put down her fork and said coldly, “I don’t agree.”


    She knew exactly what Dillon was after.


    In short, just three words: shameless self–interest.


    Dillon’s face darkened. “Prisci, you can’t block Bonnie’s happiness just because of your rtionship with Wesley.”


    “Bonnie raised you all by herself for so many years. It wasn’t easy for her. Now that you’re grown, she deserves to pursue her own happiness.”


    He spoke with righteous–sounding, high–minded reasons.


    Prisci sneered, “Now you remember how hard it was for Grandma to raise me? Weren’t you always going on about the money you gave?”


    They had always spoken of giving money with a clear conscience.


    Tania was annoyed. “How can you be so petty?”


    She always held a grudge against the family, as if she couldn’t wait for it to fall apart.


    Prisci tapped her fingers on the table. “Shouldn’t you at least ask Grandma what she wants?”


    Dillon frowned. “The Carlton family is so wealthy, and Frank has always cared about her. Why wouldn’t she be willing?”

    Tania chimed in. “Exactly, and it would help Dillon too. What’s not to like?”


    Prisci sneered. This couple was so greedy that they would even use their own mother for profit.


    Dillon looked at Bonnie, who had remained silent. “Mom, say something.”


    Bonnie’s clouded eyes swept over her son. “I don’t want to.”


    She was very calm.


    After all, she had long known what kind of person her son was.


    Dillon stood up anxiously. The wealth and glory he was about to get was slipping away, and he couldn’t sit still.


    “What are you doing? This is such a good thing, why won’t you agree?”


    Dillon wished he could settle this marriage matter right away.


    Bonnie suddenly put down her fork, her tone resolute: “Anyway, I don’t agree. You can give up on this idea.”


    She slowly stood up, and Prisci hurried to carefully help her back to


    her room.


    Once the door was closed, Bonnie let out a heavy sigh. “That couple, they’ve been blinded by the Carlton family’s power.”


    “They don’t even think about it–how many illegitimate children does that old man have, what kind of person is he? If I agree, they’ll never be able to hold their heads up outside.”


    Bonnie had no intention of letting the Wilburn family be a

    Prisci gently stroked Bonnie’s back, helping her calm down. “If you stay here, they’ll bother you about this every day. You shoulde with me,”


    Bonnie red at her. “No matter what, he’s still my son. It’s only right for him to take care of me in my old age. What, is he going to throw me out at the Carlton family’s door?”


    She didn’t want to trouble her granddaughter.


    Besides, for Noah’s sake, she would stand her ground.


    Prisci couldn’t persuade her, so she could only remind her to call if anything happened.


    Two dayster, Bonnie called, saying Dillon had booked a ce for dinner and wanted her toe along.


    Prisci agreed.


    It was the best hotel in Aetherton, and the table wasden with a sumptuous feast.


    Prisci helped Bonnie inside and saw Amelia and Frank.


    Dillon and his family of three were there as well.


    A sense of foreboding settled in Prisci’s heart.


    Dillon and Tania squeezed past Prisci, each taking a side to help Bonnie sit next to Frank.


    Prisci’s eyelids twitched as she walked over to sit in an empty seat.
