Chapter 2161: The Plan Must Be Abandoned
Mrs. Brightwood, though a teacher and well-prepared for tonight, felt she was at a disadvantage in the debate. It seemed she had already lost in terms of presence.
Mrs. Campell calmly picked up her teacup and took a leisurely sip of jasmine tea. The faint fragrance lifted her spirits, though she had something weighing on her mind that she was trying to process and control.
"Did you see the news?" Mrs. Brightwood took out her phone and handed it to Mrs. Campell, showing her saved photos of Summer and Spencer filming a kissing scene. "It's all over the news."
Mrs. Campell took the phone without surprise when she saw the photos. "These are behind-the-scenes shots, right? There were so many people on set watching." Admiring her beautiful daughter, she couldn't help but smile. "I heard she nailed several scenes in one take today. It seems our Summer really has a talent for acting."
Mrs. Brightwood was speechless at this response.
What went wrong here? As the mother of the girl, shouldn't she have a different attitude?
The two families used to be very close, sharing similar values. How could they be so out of sync now?
Mrs. Brightwood took back the phone handed by Mrs. Campell, seeing the faint smile on her face, feeling a mix of emotions.
Was there any point in continuing this discussion?
She originally planned to persuade Mr. and Mrs. Campell to convince Summer to leave the entertainment industry and settle down with Rupert.
Now it seemed this plan had to be abandoned.
After some tea, Mrs. Brightwood changed the topic with a smile, "Rupert plans to come back soon. It's time to discuss their marriage. Do you have any thoughts? I looked at several houses today; they are all ready for move-in. As long as Summer likes one, we can buy it immediately."
"Marriage is also their business; they can decide when they want to get married," Mr. Campell said as he sat beside his wife, his handsome features still retaining their youthful charm. "But it's necessary to get to know each other better before marriage, especially since Rupert has been abroad for years. Marriage is a big deal."
What a couple! So in sync!
It seemed only the Brightwood family was anxious about the marriage while the Campell family wasn't in a hurry at all.
The atmosphere during today's
'negotiation' was actually quite good;
everyone spoke softly and politely,
though their views differed, there was no unpleasantness.
After about five more minutes of conversation, the Brightwood parents stood up to leave. Mr. and Mrs. Campell did not insist they stay but walked them to the door, waving as they got into their car,
maintaining proper etiquette.
Sitting in the passenger seat as the car drove away, Mrs. Brightwood's mood sank to rock bottom; her face no longer held any trace of a smile.
Her daughter-in-law from the Brightwood family absolutely could not enter the entertainment industry!
If any scandal were to break out in the future, it would ruin Rupert's reputation!
Back at their flower shop, Mr. and Mrs. Campell also put away their smiles as Mr. Campell closed the shop door with a heavy heart.
He took out a large white envelope from a drawer.
It had been delivered anonymously
just now; inside were documents they had just reviewed about Rupert's activities abroad-how he accumulated massive debts step by step. There were even photos from casinos as evidence.
Hundreds of accounts, very detailed!
The documents had just arrived and been reviewed by them for less than five minutes when the Brightwood elders came over.
"Who could have sent this?" Mrs. Campell couldn't understand but believed its authenticity and wisely chose not to show it directly to the Brightwood parents.
