CEO's Reborn Wife-Chapter 142 - 150: Every Time It’s Like This
"Peace is possible, but only if the Second Miss of the Sampton Family tries to please Mrs. Black. As for being James Black’s wife, there’s no place for her to yield or endure anyone else," James Black felt he had made his point clear enough to Mother Sampton. "So, that’s it, I’m hanging up."
After saying this, it was James Black who ended the call, then he fixed a heavy gaze on Jane Sampson.
"Is it always like this?" he suddenly asked.
Whenever Julie Sampton felt displeased, would she run to Mother Sampton to blame Jane Sampson? And Mother Sampton would always expect Jane to give in to her sister?
Seeing Jane Sampson nod lightly and murmur in agreement, James Black said, "It won’t be like this anymore."
He and Jane Sampson were different. Compared to the Sampton Family, the Black Family was already in a superior position, so even though James Black was Father Sampton and Mother Sampton’s son-in-law, in reality, he didn’t really have to treat them as seniors.
Thus, during the daytime phone call, he had no psychological pressure calling Father Sampton "President Sampton," and in the call just now, he didn’t even use a title for Mother Sampton.
Even Jane’s feelings towards them had become so indifferent that James Black could hardly see it anymore; therefore, he couldn’t find a reason to respect Father Sampton and Mother Sampton as seniors.
That’s how James Black was; his attitude towards Father and Mother Sampton depended on his wife’s feelings towards them.
If it weren’t for Jane Sampson, Father and Mother Sampton would have no connection to him at all. So, if Jane harbored no affection for them, and if they only brought trouble to her, then naturally, he felt no obligation to respect the Sampton Family either.
But the situation was different for Jane Sampson.
Because she was the daughter of the Sampton Family, those who knew her, those who knew of the Sampton Family, all knew she was the esteemed miss of the family.
In the eyes of outsiders, she was the beloved heiress of the Sampton Family, blessed with inherent advantages, and that’s how many spoke of her.
The reason Jane Sampson was able to garner so many piano awards at such a young age was simply that the Sampton Family was willing to spend money on her, pay a hefty sum to engage famous teachers, pay a fortune for her to attend the best schools, and spend a considerable amount to send her to compete in various competitions.
Even if nobody mentioned Jane Sampson’s own efforts and talent, the heavy investment was something Jane couldn’t refute.
The Sampton Family indeed never skimped on Jane Sampson when it came to money.
To outsiders, just the fact of spending a lot of money was enough; in their eyes, being willing to spend meant truly loving the child.
If one day Jane Sampson did something wrong, countless people would point at her, scolding her for being unfilial, branding her an ingracious cur.
And for those who knew the truth about Jane Sampson not being the Sampton Family’s biological daughter due to an administrative mistake, they would denounce Jane for being ungrateful, accusing her of having a heart of stone and lungs of a dog, piling all the moral constraints and ugly curses on her shoulders.
For the first time, James Black felt the weight of the obstacles Jane Sampson faced.
Even if she was brave enough to withstand those insults and accusations, there were still Granny Sampton and Grandpa Sampton, and Bright Sampton, her younger brother—these were ties that Jane Sampson couldn’t sever from the Sampton Family.
Most importantly, during her childhood, Father and Mother Sampton truly did love her.
Inside the great courtyard, she was led by Mother and Father Sampton, hopping and jumping around, lively as a Queen Monkey who couldn’t stay still for even a second. This image lingered in the memories of others, as well as her own.
