After Divorce I Married a Tycoon-Chapter 92: I Heard the Wedding Will Be Very Grand
"Of course I do," Scarlett Jewel said.
’Isn’t everything I’ve done been for the sake of marrying into the Sinclair family?’
"I’m even carrying his child."
"If I don’t marry him, who else can I marry?"
"Besides, no matter how you look at it, the Sinclair family is my best option right now."
The Sinclair family might be facing a bit of a crisis, but they were so wealthy that these minor squabbles wouldn’t affect their foundation at all.
’My goal has always been clear. I absolutely won’t be swayed easily.’
’Even if the Sinclair family went bankrupt one day, their wealth would be more than enough for me to live comfortably for the rest of my life.’
’I can’t be bothered to put in the effort to find another target.’
’Besides, my reputation as a homewrecker is already set in stone.’
’No other respectable family would look twice at me.’
’So I have to marry Gavin Sinclair. I have no other choice.’
Thinking about how the Mercer family was on the verge of collapse, she knew the Sinclairs would look down on them even more.
Judith Caldwell, her face etched with worry, asked Scarlett Jewel, "But given our family’s current situation, will the Sinclairs even agree?"
Scarlett Jewel retorted, "Why wouldn’t they?"
"The Sinclair family is already dealing with a PR crisis."
"If news breaks that Gavin Sinclair used me and then threw me away, it will only damage the family’s image further."
"Do you think that would be good or bad for his fight for the Sinclair family inheritance?"
It dawned on Judith Caldwell in an instant.
Her eyes lit up, and she slapped her thigh.
She sucked in a sharp breath from the pain.
But she didn’t care; on the contrary, she was overcome with excitement.
"The Sinclair family is in the middle of an internal power struggle. The two branches are just looking for dirt on each other."
"If he doesn’t take responsibility for you right now, the second branch will use it against him."
"Then the main branch will be at a disadvantage."
"So he can’t afford any more negative press right now."
With a languid smile, Scarlett Jewel picked up the wellness tea a servant had prepared and took a slow, deliberate sip.
"That’s one reason."
"Secondly, Mrs. Sinclair is now bedridden."
"From the looks of it, she probably doesn’t have much time left."
"When she had her stroke the other day, she was completely incoherent."
"The Sinclair family rushed to find specialists to treat her."
"She’s doing a bit better now, at least her mind is a little clearer."
"She knows her condition and is aware she probably won’t live for many more years."
"So before she dies, she’ll definitely want to hold the Sinclair family’s eldest great-grandson."
"And I’m carrying the very eldest great-grandson she’s been hoping for."
"So even if she’s unhappy with me, she has no choice now."
"What’s more, Gavin Sinclair has already agreed to marry me to get a bigger piece of the family fortune."
"As soon as the child is born, the main branch will get a larger share of the inheritance."
"Plus, the main branch wants to hold a happy occasion to improve Mrs. Sinclair’s luck."
"So my wedding date with Gavin Sinclair should be set very soon."
Hearing Scarlett Jewel’s explanation, Judith Caldwell finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She hugged Scarlett tightly and couldn’t stop praising her.
"My Scarlett is so capable!"
"You’re the Mercer family’s only hope now."
"As long as you can marry smoothly into the Sinclair family, there’s still hope for the Mercers."
"A grandson of the Mercer family will be the eldest great-grandson of the Sinclair family."
"I refuse to believe that after my precious grandson inherits the Sinclair fortune, he’ll just ignore his mother’s side of the family."
Forgetting the pain in her thigh, Judith Caldwell began to fantasize about a wonderful future.
In reality, Scarlett Jewel felt little affection for the Mercer family.
So whether the Mercers went bankrupt or not meant nothing to her.
’Anyway, it’s already certain that I’m marrying into the Sinclair family.’
’The Mercer family is of no use to me anymore.’
’Even if my child inherits the Sinclair fortune in the future, I won’t let him help the Mercers out of their mess.’
Seeing the current state of the Mercer family, she wished she could just cut all ties with them.
She was even starting to regret using the Mercer family as a stepping stone.
But there was nothing to be done about it; the Mercers were the opportunity fate had given her.
Besides, compared to a commoner family with no background, the Mercers were at least a minor wealthy family.
The status of a Mercer heiress was far better than that of an adopted daughter in a commoner family.
News that Gavin Sinclair was going to marry Scarlett Jewel quickly spread throughout all of Rhonia.
Their wedding date was set in a hurry, for just one month later.
Once the date was set, the invitations were sent out swiftly.
Although the Mercer family wasn’t very prominent in Rhonia, the Sinclair family certainly had status.
Upon learning that the two families were to be joined by marriage again, the members of Rhonia’s high society offered congratulations on the surface.
But behind their backs, they were all mocking and gossiping.
After all, both families had been hit with one online scandal after another recently.
The drama had caused a city-wide uproar and sparked public outrage.
It had only been a few days since the scandal died down, and now the two families were actually getting married.
Naturally, this gave the wealthy socialites plenty of fresh gossip for their afternoon tea.
"Those two families have really been in the spotlight online lately."
"And now they’re becoming in-laws. I’d say they’re a good match."
"The fake heiress marries into the Sinclair family, the real one becomes a homewrecker."
"Then it turns out the fake one was tricked into a sham marriage, and now the real one is marrying her ex-brother-in-law..."
"I have to say, both families really know how to keep things interesting."
"The Mercer and Sinclair families really are tied together by some inseparable fate, aren’t they?"
"You don’t think they’re going to use a fake marriage certificate to trick the Mercers again, do you?"
"Probably not, right? Isn’t the homewrecker pregnant? I heard it’s a boy, too."
"Even if it’s just for her grandson, Rose Gable probably wouldn’t pull such a shameless stunt again, would she?"
Claire Mercer, Roxanne Peyton, and Stella Thorne also heard the news.
At first, Roxanne Peyton and Stella Thorne were worried that Claire Mercer would be heartbroken after hearing the news.
After all, she had once given her entire heart to Gavin Sinclair.
Hearing that he was now marrying the homewrecker would surely stir up some emotions within her.
But seeing that Claire Mercer didn’t seem to care at all, the two of them were finally able to put their minds at ease.
"The Mercer family is about to go bankrupt, and the Sinclairs are still willing to have him marry Scarlett Jewel?"
"Can they afford not to?" Claire Mercer said with a smile.
"The Sinclair family is in the middle of an internal conflict, and his affair with Scarlett Jewel is the talk of the town."
"If he doesn’t marry Scarlett Jewel now, he’ll be labeled a scumbag and irresponsible."
"How could he compete with the second branch of the family for the inheritance then?"
"Besides, even though the Mercer family is on the brink of collapse, the Sinclair family’s reputation has been ruined by Rose Gable and Mrs. Sinclair."
"What respectable family in Rhonia would still be willing to marry into a family like that?"
"On top of that, Scarlett Jewel is pregnant. With this eldest great-grandson, even if they can’t win the fight for the inheritance, the main branch will still get a larger share of the assets when the family fortune is divided, all thanks to this child."
"So, Scarlett Jewel marrying into the Sinclair family is a foregone conclusion."
"It’s only now that I can truly admire Scarlett Jewel’s methods."
"No wonder she was so adamant back then, so certain she would marry Gavin Sinclair."
"All of this was probably part of her plan from the very beginning."
Stella Thorne said, "I hear the wedding is going to be a grand affair."
