Female Novel
Chapter 123
Jacqueline heard what he said and looked at him half incredulously, and half alarmed, "Luther, what do
you mean by that?"
"Won’t you ever get tired of it?" Luther sneered, "You just love all those tricks of yours."
"I …" Jacqueline was speechless. She thought she was pretending very well, but he still saw through it
easily. Luther was her son, but she had no control over him, and his personality was just like that of
Stephanie.
"Know why Grandma raised me herself? Because you have always been like this." Luther sighed and
shook his head in disappointment, "Just think about what you have done."
Jacqueline choked up. Although she grew up in a wealthy family herself, her family was not at all any
big deal when compared to the Warner family. Stephanie never thought she would be her daughter-in-
law until she was pregnant and Stephanie could only reluctantly agree to accept her into the Warner
family. But her marriage came with conditions – Stephanie must raise the heir of the Warner family
herself.
Luther was taken away from Jacqueline as soon as he was born. She put up with it in order to secure
her position in the Warner family, and by the time she was pregnant with Shelly, she made a fuss and
moved out of the Warner family to raise the child herself.
After all these years of her own son not being close to her and her living in Stephanie's shadow, wasn’t
that enough?
It was not that she had been indulging Shelly. She just wanted to make up for the days of her not being
able to raise Luther. Was she wrong?
The bottom line was that for all these years, she thought Stephanie despised her because she did not
have a background that was strong enough and did not have enough financial resources.
Until Joyce, an orphan girl from an orphanage with no background, came to the Warner family.
It was like she was hit hard in the face.
She realized that Stephanie did not look down on her because of her background.
It's because of the way she was, her ability, and her temperament.
She was no better than a mere orphan girl Joyce?
How could she even accept this?
"I did it all for you." Jacqueline's voice was dejected, "Did you know that Stephanie called in Mr.
Baldwin to revise her will today?"
Luther nodded, "I know. So what?"
"I heard Joyce say that she signed a prenuptial agreement giving up her right to the inheritance. But it
doesn't mean, Stephanie just can't leave anything to her. And you're not worried?" Jacqueline

"Yes. Joyce has coaxed Grandma enough and she's not very clear-headed right now. Who knows what
kind of compulsion she'll put on Grandma." Shelly echoed.
"Huh." Luther snorted, "You guys are worrying too much. It's Grandma's assets, and she has the right
to distribute it on her own. She can even donate it all to charity, and it's not your turn to ask questions."
Jacqueline's face went white.
Shelly saw that the atmosphere was not right, so she changed the subject, "Grandma said today that
she wants to see Charlotte next Sunday. It seems that Grandma is ready to accept Charlotte, brother.
You and Joyce have to break clean early."
She couldn't wait to get rid of Joyce, and she couldn't wait a day.
The last time the family sat down for a meeting, he thought she was just saying that.
"I will make the arrangements. Charlotte is kind, considerate, and pleasant. Stephanie will be satisfied."
Jacqueline then raised a smile, and gently patted Luther on his arm, "Luther, you should have less
contact with women. Women nowadays all know their tricks, and Mom has seen a lot of them. Be
careful."
"Mom won't hurt you, and you mustn't be confused by that Joyce again." Shelly also pulled Luther and
said seriously.
Luther resisted in his heart and looked impatient.
