Emmett’s face turned bright red. He pointed at Yima, but it took him a long time before he could speak.
“How have I caused all this trouble? I’m doing this for Winnie’s own good. You don’t go out much and don’t know many people. If you expect Winnie to choose her own husband, when will she ever get married?
“Let Winnie date freely? She’s so busy with work that she doesn’t have time to think about marriage. It’s up to us elders to worry about her. I’ve been making connections everywhere for her sake. I’ve shamelessly asked around about every eligible young man I could find.
“Do you think it’s easy for me? I didn’t introduce any hooligans to Winnie. The men I introduced may not be as outstanding as the VIPs of her company, but they weren’t bad either.
“Besides being rich, what else does your husband’s family have? They’ve always been a small family, with no older or younger siblings. If you don’t marry someone with a lot of brothers, who would be willing to marry into the Francoeur family?
“If the man who marries into the family is too outstanding, you’ll be on guard against him. A man like the Tucker family’s son is the most suitable for Winnie. He’s not too bad, but he’s not too good either. Once he marries into the Francoeur family, he won’t cause any trouble. Winnie can keep him under control.
“The Tucker family is thriving. Tucker’s son has already joined the family and could have two children with Winnie within three years, expanding the Francoeur family.
