Chapter 1349 An Ulterior Motive
An unskilled driver appeared out of nowhere, and Sally saved Grandma by coincidence?
As Juan pondered upon it, the scene flashed across his mind out of the blue. Therefore, he started imagining the situation then. But while doing so, his active imagination added a few details to the incident, and he even felt that it made much sense.
Hence, he softly muttered, “Yeah, that must be it! That had to be what happened…”
“What are you mumbling about over there, Juan? What must be it?”
“Grandma, do you know why a car driving at such a high speed appeared all of a sudden?”
Sophia deliberately thought for a moment before answering, “A coincidence, I suppose. I think that the driver must have lost his mind!”
“No, I think someone must have bribed him. As for who the mastermind is, it’s clear when you consider the person who benefitted from the incident.”
Her brows furrowing, Sophia eyed him. “What do you mean, little brat? Are you saying that…”
“Yes. I suspect that it was a self-directed show by Sally herself. First, she conspired with the driver. Then, she saved you when you were about to be hit. After doing so, she bided her time to approach you before finally realizing her motive.”
Speaking of that, he seemingly realized something in hindsight and exclaimed, “I initially felt that she was different, not materialistic or a gold-digger. But I never thought that she was only more cunning than most. Her desire to marry into money is no different from those crass women who wish to marry above their station!”
Kyle said nothing, but his pupils constricted, and he couldn’t help wondering whether Sally was truly such a person.
Sophia was silent for a long moment before she looked at Juan. “Stop making wild guesses as you please. I didn’t find her to be such a person! And if she really has such an intention, I’d feel happy instead. The first time I saw her, I felt that she was in an entirely different class than the average socialite. You should consider yourself lucky if someone like her takes a liking to you!”
“Verily, I don’t understand you, Grandma! You’re saying that I should consider myself lucky if a woman with ulterior motives takes a liking to me? Besides, she might not really be interested in me. I think she might have some other motive.”
“Never mind that. Since she feels that the two of you are compatible, you can get to know each other first. What if you’re both each other’s cup of tea?”
The fact that Sophia wasn’t at all bothered about the possible motive Juan spoke of surprised Kyle, who was shrewd.
Grandma has always been a sharp-witted person. Considering her attitude now, she has either investigated Sally or really thinks that she doesn’t have an ulterior motive. But… considering her style of doing things, I’m more inclined toward the former possibility. Could it be that there’s another reason for her ardor in having her marry into the Seet family?
At that thought, his gaze darkened a shade.
Meanwhile, Juan remained unconvinced and didn’t quite agree.
Someone like Sally is too glib. And the fact that she even used Seet Group to deal with Andrew Muir back then proves that she’s indeed a very crafty woman. I don’t think it’ll do me any good to have such a scheming and silver-tongued woman by my side. However, if I were to say this bluntly to Grandma, she might just nag me to death. Thus, I’ve got to drive her away with my wit as soon as possible!
“I’m talking to you! Did you hear me?”
“I heard you, Grandma. Don’t worry. I’ll make sure that we get to know each other well,” Juan prevaricated.
Sophia nodded though she inwardly felt that Kyle seemed to be more suited with Sally.
Ah well, since she’s taken with Juan, I’ll just let the two of them interact first!
When they both left the Seet Residence, Kyle wore a somber expression on his face, saying nary a word.
Conversely, Juan rambled on about his plan. “Since Sally said that she thinks we suit, I’ll have her see how true it is and make her back out docilely. I might not be good at anything else, but I’m an expert at doing things contrarily. I’ll certainly have her know what regret feels like!”
