“Miss Francoeur, I didn’t insult your distinguished guest. He took it personally.” Mr. Tucker hurriedly explained, “Miss Francoeur, if you think I was wrong, I apologize. I can go inside and apologize to your distinguished guest. I acted impulsively just now, and I shouldn’t have said those things.”
“I’m just jealous. I’m jealous that your distinguished guest is even more handsome than me and looks like a successful man. May I ask which company your distinguished guest is an executive with?”
Mr. Tucker had heard that Winnie wouldn’t even give face to her maternal uncles or other relatives on her mother’s side.
Her uncle, however, still wanted to control his niece. After all, she was the successor to the Francoeur Group. Once Old Mr. Francoeur passed away, Winnie would take over the Francoeur Group, and the Francoeur family’s vast fortune would also belong to her.
