Chapter 61

Although Mona caused Lauren's disappearance, Mr. Bennett didn't blame her. Furthermore, they profited greatly from the matter.

Sally maintained an elegant and kind demeanor in public, preventing her from confiding in others. Therefore, she called her mother.

Mona was delighted to receive her daughter's call, as she had been lonely and bored at home. Answering the phone, she exclaimed, "Sally!" Mona was always gentle and even flattering towards Sally, whom she was proud of for her intelligence and beauty.

In the past, Sally had resented Mona's ostentatious behavior. However, today, she felt a little happier hearing from her.

Sally told Mona that she had seen Lauren that day, sitting in a man's luxury car. Mona immediately asked, "Was she someone's mistress?"

Mona's immediate thought was that if Lauren's affair became public, the Bennett family would be ashamed.

"That's a good opportunity for us," Mona said excitedly. "You must make the Bennett family aware of Lauren's affair. Then Mr. Bennett won't tolerate her, and Jeffery will certainly look down on her."

Sally frowned, slightly regretting the call, feeling her mother's approach was misguided.

After a long silence, Mona asked directly, "Do you think I'm being unreasonable? But I know what you're thinking. You're hoping the Bennett family will pressure the Shaw family, forcing Herman to marry Lauren."

Sally tossed and turned in bed, hugging her pillow. "Then why did you ask?"

Mona sighed, thinking her daughter overthought things. "I know what you want. You want Lauren to marry into the Shaw family because you don't want her to marry well." Mona knew her daughter well.

Sally lowered her head.

Mona continued, "Sally, you need to focus to achieve your goals. Don't try to get everything you want; otherwise, you might lose everything."

Sally was stunned.

Mona said, "Regardless of Lauren's marriage prospects, do what you want. Remember, if Lauren is someone's mistress, she'll never marry Sandy. The Effie family wouldn't accept her."

Mona differed from Sally. Though simple-minded, she was tenacious when pursuing a goal. For example, she had been Mr. Bennett's mistress for over twenty years for financial gain, regardless of the cost to her self-respect.

Later, hoping for her daughter's happiness, she orchestrated Lauren's disappearance and placed Sally with the Bennetts. Even though they'd been separated for over ten years, Mona rejoiced in Sally's improved life.

Focus leads to success. Greed often leads to failure. If Sally wants to marry Sandy, she shouldn't worry about Lauren's marriage.
