In Paula's eyes, with Rupert from the Walsh family backing her, Shelia should be confident no one in Morcastle would dare cross her.
Furthermore, Paula had s@x with Rupert that day.
She could tell that Rupert was quite pleased with her.
She knew she had to be patient in her plans.
If her daughter could win Rupert's favor, she believed Benny's company would have a smoother path to success.
At that point, Benny would treat her kindly, leading to a significant shift in her standing within the family.
Kendra gave Shelia's hand a reassuring pat and remarked, "This is a golden opportunity.
Lindsey's company is fresh on the scene, and partnering with such a big brand will surely spark a lot of online buzz and chatter.
No need to put Lindsey down.
The higher she climbs, the harder she'll fall.
If she doesn't achieve results that match her resources, it'll surely sting, and her reputation will take a hit.
" Hearing this, Shelia was taken aback.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter pondering for a moment, she grasped Kendra's idea.
With a smile, Shelia gave Kendra a thumbs-up and exclaimed, "Mom, this strategy is brilliant.
You're a genius.
" When they were hatching their plan, Benny opened the door and entered the room.
Spotting this, Kendra swiftly rose from the sofa, brimming with enthusiasm.
She hurried over, fetched Benny's slippers, and assisted him in changing his clothes.
Kendra held the title of Mrs.
Stewart, yet she found herself doing the sthing a servant did.
This left Shelia quite displeased.
Benny appeared weary.
Kendra brewed him scoffee and began massaging his shoulders, sitting next to him. Benny's irritated look softened considerably as he tenderly clasped Kendra's hand.
"Kendra, I appreciate your dedication during these times.
Despite being pregnant, you've been actively involved in company matters.
Without the money you borrowed, the company could have faced..." Kendra offered a gentle smile.
"We're family.
I must support you and help the company overcthese challenges.
Unlike Lindsey who's found success and seems to have conveniently overlooked those who raised her.
Benny sighed.
"If only Lindsey could be a bit like you.
She wouldn't have ended up estranged from us.
"Benny, I've heard Lindsey is doing well these days.
Her company is about to partner with a global Luxury brand.
She's likely to make a substantial amount of money.
She could easily assist you financially, but she would rather see your company face bankruptcy than offer help.
Kendra said in a constricted voice, "Lindsey is your flesh and blood.
How much did you invest in raising her? She's living a comfortable life now, yet she doesn't seem inclined to show any gratitude.

"1 Benny's knuckles turned white as he clenched them.
Suddenly, a realization hit him, prompting him to rise from the sofa.
"You're right.
I invested a considerable amount in raising her.
Now that she's well-off, it's only fair that she repays me.
I'll visit her tomorrow.
How can a daughter turn a blind eye to her parents' well-being?" Kendra nodded softly while resting in Benny's embrace.
She gently patted his chest.
"Benny, try not to get too worked up.
Just have a heart-to-heart with Lindsey.
After all... Blood is thicker than water.
Her heart isn't made of stone.
Observing Kendra's sequence of actions, Shelia couldn't help but think that experience brings wisdom.
In this way, it would not only unsettle Lindsey but also divert her focus from the collaboration with Cherish.
Consequently, she might be more prone to making errors and messing up the partnership.
