"So, " Sheena asked with a cocked eyebrow, "are you targeting at her son for your daughter?" Sheena couldn't believe she was making such a plan again.
"It's not bad if it comes true." Lena Lim seemed to just ignore the mocking sense hidden in the words of Sheena but just admitted directly. Maybe it's because Cherry Hathaway was not around that she wasn't afraid of raising any quarrels.
"She is just a student, she still has a long way to go." Sheena tried to pull back the decision that Lena Lim had made in her heart.
"She is young, but it's good for her to have the target to work for in the rest of her life." Lena Lim just smiled with pride, looking at Sheena with carelessness for her mocking.
"Lena…" Sheena was shocked for her arrangement, although this arrangement was not for her, she just couldn't bear witnessing another assigned marriage. "Don't make another mistake and pull another pool girl into the trap of wealth."
"Wow, wow, trap of wealth?" Lena Lim finally stared at Sheena with a serious face, she finally had realized Sheena was serious in rejecting her idea.
"Are you considering Cherry as your sister?" Lena Lim asked with a weird expression on her face and suspect inside her eyes.
Frowned, Sheena couldn't believe what she had heard. Although Cherry Hathaway was the child between Lena Lim and Evan Hathaway, Sheena had never thought of her not being her biological sister. Of course, deep into her mind, according to her sixth sense, both Lena Lim and Cherry Hathaway were closer to each other when compared with her. However, Sheena knew this was a kind of fact that she had to accept and was not able to change.
"Of course she is my younger sister." Sheena denied immediately. "I don't know how you think of me, but for me Cherry is always my sister as long as she is the daughter of my father Evan."
It was the seriousness inside the eyes of Sheena that had persuade Lena Lim to believe in what Sheena had said. "Sorry, I just said it but didn't mean it."
Sheena gave a forced smile to buy in the excuse that Lena Lim had claimed. Something just wouldn't change as long as it's out of her control. Sheena didn't want to dig into the words of Lena Lim and be hurt when the final truth was released.
"Thank you for the worries for your sister Cherry," Lena Lim turned to be polite again, she said it as sincerely as she can. But she just didn't change her intention, "but you should know that wealth can solve a lot of problems, right? Just as what has happened on your grandpa and yourself. Do you agree with me?"
When coming to such a topic, Sheena just couldn't reject the expressions that Lena Lim had used. They did get benefits from the wealth of the family of Stephan Korade, and whatever she tried to explain would be in vain for the rewards that they had gained from them, especially the place they were standing at.
Witnessing the silence of Sheena, Lena just gave a smile of victory, "See? Even yourself have to admit the help from the wealth of the family of Korade. Please don't act to be kind-hearted and considerate for your sister, she deserves better than what you've owned now."
"I didn't mean it." Sheena denied weakly, "I just hope Cherry could marry to whom she has loved." It's obviously that she had lost the chance of marrying to the beloved guy, but she thought it's not necessary to rob that chance of Cherry.
"No, no, no," Lena Lim shook her head and mocked at Sheena, "don't be silly, you don't know your sister well. Look at what she is wearing and using…" When saying so, Lena Lim picked up the phone and showed to Sheena with photos that Cherry had taken in recent days.
It's so surprised that Cherry Hathaway had dressed up like a debutante in many magnificent activities, she was just sparkling like the star in the dark sky. She was not the girl from a plain family anymore.
"Wow…" Sheena didn't expect Cherry Hathaway would have changed like this so she was surprised to sigh for her current appearance.
Seeing the expected reaction of Sheena, Lena smiled with satisfaction and pride, "see? She is so beautiful now that it's heard that many boys in her class born with a silver spoon have all chased after her like bees. She is so popular in the campus."
Witnessing such a scene, Sheena finally understood that whatever she said wouldn't be able to persuade her. So, Sheena just gave up and realized that: since it's the shared wish for Lena Lim and Cherry Hathaway, Sheena wouldn't be able to push them away from the track that they desired.
"Fine, that's only my advice. If you all don't want to take it, I've done whatever I should." Sheena made the statement to avoid any trouble or misunderstanding.
Hearing what Sheena had said, Lena Lim felt a little bit unhappiness. As if marrying to a rich man was a bad deal.
[You've already married to the rich, of course you don't want us to enjoy the same conditions.] Lena Lim complained inside without saying it out. At such a moment when the whole family was living in the house bought by the son-in-law, it's not suitable to criticize her too meanly. Therefore, Lena Lim smiled with thanks, "long way to go before forming up the relationship with them, isn't it?"
Sheena knew Lena Lim was quitting from this topic, so Sheena actively changed the topic by inquiring another information, "in recent days, have Evan come back home frequently?"
"Wow, it's quite rare for you to actively mention him." Lena Lim was not a good mother for Sheena but she did understand Sheena well.
In usual time, Sheena wouldn't be willing to see Evan Hathaway, for he would just come to her for asking money. And it's obvious that Lena Lim had quite known this habit of Sheena, so she was surprised to hear Sheena actively mentioning Evan Hathaway.
