Female Novel
Chapter 1236
The third wife's daughter was Miss Monica, who we met at the Hayes Manor. She was a little older,almost 40 years old. Because she had always been protected by the Hayes family and was used tobeing pampered, she was arrogant and had shown much disdain towards various young mastersfrom other noble families. Therefore, she had been living in the Hayes Manor all these years. Sheprobably wanted to stay in the Hayes Manor for the rest of her life and not get married.
Otherwise, she would not be so upset when she found out that Master Hayes handed overeverything to Tobias.
As for Gerald's fourth wife, she wasn't considered a legal wife like the previous three ladies. Shewas a woman Gerald had slept with, in the spur of the moment. Gerald led a dissolute life, and notevery woman he encountered could enter the Hayes family.
Hendrix didn't say much about Tobias's mother. He only said that she once accompanied Gerald tothe Ocean Premium Restaurant. She was probably a model and got pregnant with Tobias byaccident.
After Hendrix and I finished paying our respects,
Tobias took a long look at me, disdain in his eyes.
I paid it no mind.
Tobias then looked at Hendrix and asked, "Mr. Roberts, can I have a word with you?"
I figured that they were going to discuss the company's affairs.
Hendrix looked at me and instructed, "Wait for me in the yard. I'll look for you there later."
I nodded.
The courtyard of the Hayes family had a very elegant layout. There were pavilions, rockeries,ponds, and autumn grass. The vast courtyard had the most beautiful scenery. It looked like thehouse of an ancient official.
I could understand why Gerald married so many wives and yet could have them peacefully livetogether. They lived in a mansion worth billions of dollars and spent money however they desired.They led a carefree life.
Those palatial dramas on TV got it ridiculously wrong. How boring it was for so many women to fightfor an old man's love. They were actually fighting for status and reward. A shiver of disgust randown my spine at the thought of them fighting for an old man's love.
"Tobias is just an illegitimate child. If your brothers weren't sent abroad, he wouldn't even bequalified to enter the Hayes family." I was taken aback by that. I looked over to where the voicecame from and saw a mother and a daughter sitting in the courtyard.
It was Monica Hayes and her mother, Gerald's third wife, Amelia. She was almost sixty years oldbut looked like she was only in her forties. She really took good care of herself.novelbin
Monica, on the other hand, looked older than her age. She must have been constantly dealing withunpleasant matters, to look so haggard.
Amelia looked at her calmly and said, "You just have to make sure you take good care of thosecompanies in your hands. As for who will take charge of the Hayes family, it has nothing to do withus. Our lives go on. Are you afraid that Tobias will drive us out of the Hayes family?"
Monica was not convinced. She snorted and said, "You're the kind of person who doesn't fight foranything. If you had fought harder, my brothers wouldn't still be abroad when Father died. What'sTobias's status? His mother is just a dirty model. She's a woman who has had many love affairs.Who knows if Tobias is really Father's child? Father just gave the Hayes family to him in such a
muddle-headed manner. Isn't he worried that he would ruin the Hayes family? From now on,whenever we go out, people will laugh at us - the Hayes family being controlled by someone who isnot from the Hayes family. Mother, I just can't let it go!"
