CHAPTER 104: INFERIOR TO A MISTRESS

Looking at the shocked expressions on the faces of his father and sister, Raymond could only feel that it was a pity.

Previously, he had actually not thought things through. He had only been thinking that, it would be better if his sister was the one that was married by Michael.

That way, he would be much closer to Michael, implying that if there were any benefits in the future, he would benefit more.

But now, having already been reminded by his father, he realized that this was not going to work.

But Raymond was not willing to give up. He had already thought of the future of the Morgan family, how could he allow such an opportunity to go?

So, he thought about the way that Kate was familiar with Michael. Since his sister could not get this opportunity, he might as well let his cousin have it.

Additionally, the engagement between Kate and the partner that the family had found was not yet finalized. Thus, it was going to be easier to be able to cancel it.

But even if there was already an engagement, they could still break it off, not to mention one that had not yet been finalized.

"What do you mean?" After a moment of shock, John asked with a serious expression on his face.

This was something that had to be taken seriously. If it was true that Kate was familiar with this new owner of Sky Technologies as Raymond had said, then there was actually an opportunity.

To John, it did not really matter if it was his daughter that was married or not. At the end of the day, it was the family that was going to be benefited, and he was a family member.

Being of an older generation, he was someone who had already begun paying less attention to his own benefits, and focusing more on the benefits of the family.

"Dad, you should know that Kate is usually cold and indifferent to almost everyone.

But today, when she met with Michael, she seemed like a completely different person. She could smile, and was even talking with Michael with so much familiarity.

According to her, it seems that they had already met before, and got to know each other. But I think, the two of them are not in a very simple kind of relationship.

So, there is the possibility that if the arrangements are made, the engagement can be pulled off. Even if it is difficult to convince Michael, we can let Kate do the convincing.

If she throws herself at him, I don’t believe that he would refuse. After all, my cousin is such a beauty, even though she is still a teenager.

In just a few years, her beauty would only increase. How could Michael not be tempted by this?" Raymond explained.

"So, his name is Michael, huh?" John asked no one in particular as he rubbed his chin.

"Okay then. I’m going to talk to your grandfather about this. But, it is not going to be that simple, as there is always a possibility of things not working out.

If he is from a very influential background, it is inevitable that his family would have already made some arrangements for him.

If he has a fiancée already, it would be impossible for Kate and him to get together. After all, a fiancée of someone from a big family from the central province will definitely also come from the central province.

And our family is not strong enough to be able to compete against the giants from the central province.

So, for the time being, we can try to postpone the engagement plans that we have, so that we can see if it can go through. If not, we can just continue with what we have." John said after a moment of contemplation.

"That works too. By the way, even if Michael is engaged, I believe that he wouldn’t mind having a mistress as beautiful as my cousin. So, you can try to push for this as well." Raymond responded thoughtfully.

"What? You want Kate to be someone’s mistress? Are you out of your mind?" Jane suddenly exclaimed as she looked at her brother with shock.

It was almost a tradition for the Morgan family. Ever since long ago, none of the ladies from the Morgan family had ever been someone’s mistress.

So, how could they allow Kate to be someone else’s mistress? Would that not be embarrassing?

"What do you know? Our Morgan family might be a giant within the eastern province, but as compared to those big families in the central province, we are nothing.

That is especially for those corporations that have their market values in trillions of dollars. How is our Morgan family, whose net worth is less than $10 billion compare?

Even if it is just for a position of a mistress, the benefits that would come with that would be incredible.

Let me tell you something, a mistress of a young master from one of those giants from the central province, is at least 10 times better than the main wife of a young master from our city." Raymond retorted.

Jane’s expression shifted, as her face became slightly red from agitation. How could she not?

"Are you trying to say that in the future, when I get married to the person that I was engaged to, my status would not be comparable to a mistress of some young master from the central province?" Jane asked, clearly provoked by Raymond’s words.

"What? You don’t believe me?" Raymond asked in return.

Jane was about to say something when she was suddenly interrupted by John.

"Okay, that’s enough. Let me go and talk to your grandfather about this. After that, let’s see how things go.

But, make sure that you don’t spread anything about this. Otherwise, others that might not have thought about this might start making plans of their own.

If they start sending beauties at Michael, who knows, he might end up falling for one of them, and then, another family might rise above us." John stated.

Immediately after saying those words, he quickly got up, before leaving.

The Morgan family residence was a manor with several mansions, with one of them being bigger, with the biggest mansion being where the old patriarch of the Morgan family was currently residing.

For each family line, they usually had a mansion or two that was allocated to them. Sometimes, other family members would move out of the main family residence, buying houses elsewhere.

But all the same, most of those that remained at the main family residence were usually considered to be core members of the family, usually involved in the family business affairs.

After John left, Jane looked at Raymond, her expression telling it all. She was still angry at the way that Raymond had framed his words.

She just could not believe that she was inferior to a mistress. She might be inferior to the lady of the house, but how could she be inferior to a mistress?

Looking at his sister’s expression, Raymond immediately understood what was going on with her.

He let out a helpless sigh as he said, "You should know just how formidable those big families from the central province are.

You can possibly compare them to the king or an emperor. There is no way that a lady from a normal house, can be compared to the emperor’s concubine in terms of status and importance."

....

The present...

On the following day, which was the first day of August, Sky Technologies officially launched their new product.

The smartwatch, during the product launch, immediately attracted the attention of many people.

And considering that Sky Technologies had already attracted the attention of most people due to the acquisition, the launching of the new product went quite smoothly.

For those that had plans of doing something against Sky Technologies in order to cause trouble for the launching of the new product, they did not dare to carry out their plans.

After all, the new chairperson of Sky Technologies was too mysterious. Without understanding this person, they did not dare to do anything rash.

After all, for those that had the ability to compete against Sky Technologies, they themselves had to be accomplished. So, how could they not be smart enough to understand the implications of the full acquisition of Sky Technologies?

Immediately after the smartwatch was launched, the company received quite a number of orders, exceeding the expectations that Martin had.

Inside his office, looking at the data that was presented to him, Martin could not help but let out a faint smile.

It seemed, the acquisition of Sky Technologies by Michael was not disadvantageous at all. It was so beneficial!

"Mr. Alonso, you have a guest that has just arrived. He was sent over by the chairperson." Suddenly, Clara entered the office before she spoke.

The moment that Clara mentioned the word chairperson, Martin immediately shifted his attention from the document that he was looking at, gazing at the figure that was standing behind Clara.
