Chapter 203: We Will Always Be Your Family
The Key Group and the Anderson Group had always been at odds, but Hilla chose the material of the Key family instead of that of the Hutt family with experience and technology.
Mrs. Hutt clearly felt that Hilla was very ignorant. She actually went against her because of her status as the young madam of the Anderson family.
The few ladies next to her also started to laugh, but they didn’t show it for her feelings.
The men in the Hutt family were all dissolute, and they kept changing wives, all of whom were young and beautiful, with deep schemes.
Other than the wife of the second son of the Hutt family, none of these madams was the first wife. Although they weren’t happy to be sisters-in-law with her, they could only endure it.
Anyway, she was the wife of the eldest son of the Hutt family and the mistress of the Hutt family.
Orlenna glanced at her and held Hilla’s hand. "You are always so impatient. In the future, if you encounter any problems, remember to discuss them with us. There is no better material than that of the Hutt family, and Mrs. Hutt knows the best about the material. She was in the raw material factory when she was young, and she was most familiar with the threads."
Orlenna’s voice was not loud, but it could be heard clearly by all the people present.
Mrs. Hutt in front of them was only a female worker in the factory of the Hutt Group in the past. Because she was capable, she climbed up little by little.
However, not only was she capable in her work, but she was also quite cunning and suited the appetite of the man from the Hutt family. Very soon, after the death of the first wife of Horton’s father, she became the next one.
Orlenna came from an aristocratic and scholarly family. Although she didn’t like teasing others, she didn’t like this woman.
Especially when Mrs. Hutt wanted to match her son with Margaret, this made Orlenna very angry.
Therefore, this was the first time Hilla had seen such an elegant and dignified mother-in-law who was well educated, striking others with such a sharp attack.
The expression of Mrs. Hutt changed again and again. Fortunately, the backgrounds of the other madams were not very good. They were almost the same and did not add insult to injury because of their status.
"It’s time for dinner. Today, we have lobsters. If you don’t mind, let’s have a meal here."
Someone among the few of them spoke politely.
When Hilla saw a woman who was obviously a little older than the others, she could easily recognize that she was the only original wife of the Hutt family.
She was not as enthusiastic as the other ladies, but she sat quietly at the side, as if she had come out to accompany guests.
"No, Hilla seldom came over. Without you, I wouldn’t usually see her as her mother-in-law. Now the young people are too busy. I will go back and talk to my daughter-in-law. I’ll get out of your hair."
Orlenna didn’t wait for the madam to respond. She pulled Hilla and stood up.
If she hadn’t lived in the same villa area and been seen walking her dog today, she wouldn’t have taken the initiative to come over.
Hilla followed Orlenna obediently out the door.
When they reached the gate, she found a servant carrying a pure-white husky cub.
"Mom, you have a dog?"
She had always thought that a delicate woman like Orlenna would not like things with fur.
So it was a little unexpected to see that Orlenna had personally raised a dog.
Orlenna followed her on the way back to the Anderson’s mansion and said casually, "Well, a dog is more obedient than a son."
Hilla thought, "Bruce is actually worse than a dog in his mother’s eyes!"
"Mom, did Bruce make you angry?"
Hilla couldn’t help but ask in a low voice, carefully observing Orlenna’s expression.
Orlenna sighed and said, "It doesn’t matter. If my son doesn’t listen to me, I can just keep dogs."
Hilla thought, "Why does this sound strange?"
Hilla hadn’t figured out why Mrs. Hutt called her over, and it was more difficult to know the thoughts of her mother-in-law.
Perhaps it was because after Tyree passed away, Orlenna lived alone in this mansion, which was too boring and lonely.
Did she want them to move back, but was too embarrassed to say it clearly?
"Mom, would Bruce have a problem with your words?"
She was worried that Bruce would be upset for he was disliked by his own mother.
"Would he? What problem can he have? He can’t even make you pregnant after two or three years of marriage. What problem can he have? Tell me honestly, is he sexually incapacitated?"
She had asked the doctor who had performed the uterus tumor surgery on Hilla. Hilla
was in good health, and after a year of recovery, she could be pregnant at any time.
Hilla was healthy, and the one with the problem would definitely be her son.
Orlenna now seriously suspected that it was Bruce who wanted the face of a man, so he refused to let go of his pride and refused to go for an examination.
Even when she went to ask Horton, that guy actually smiled at her and did not speak.
What was the meaning of this smile?
Hilla didn’t expect that Orlenna was actually thinking about this. As time passed, her mother-in-law’s desire to have a grandson seemed to have grown even stronger.
Hilla blushed in embarrassment. She was afraid that she had to take half of the responsibility for this.
After all, it was true that it required Bruce’s seeds, but she had to be the fertile land. She wondered if it was a problem with her body. "Mom, we have been trying."
But she found that although she had been working hard recently, it seemed that there had been no results.
"Did you guys work hard?"
Orlenna turned around and asked in a daze. Hilla was embarrassed by her straightforward question, so she could only nod slightly.
Talking about this kind of thing with her mother-in-law was really embarrassing!
Orlenna’s expression eased a little. She took Hilla’s hand and slowly walked home. "Don’t be under too much pressure. It’s fine to let a man do it."
Hilla wanted to stop this topic!
"Mom, did I cause trouble for the Anderson family today? Because of me, Mrs. Hutt seems unhappy."
Hilla bit her lip and quickly changed the topic.
When Orlenna heard about the Hutt family, she could not help but frown.
If Horton’s mother didn’t save Tyree, the Anderson family would not have had any relations with the Hutt family.
Horton was pitiful. His mother could have married into the family as the adopted daughter of the Anderson family, but she was weak and passed away not long after she fell ill.
The Anderson family had watched Horton grow up all these years and Horton had a close relationship with Bruce. Although the wives of the Hutt family had made the Hutt Group more and more terrible, Horton and they had a personal relationship.
This was also why Horton’s father valued an illegitimate child more than all the other sons.
With Horton around, the Hutt Group was related to the Anderson family, and if something happened to the Hutt Group, the Anderson family would not completely ignore it.
To put it bluntly, Horton’s father loved Horton because of his own interests!
...
Orlenna smiled at Hilla’s words. For so many years, she had grown accustomed to those who wanted to curry favor with the Anderson family.
Even her family was not spared.
"This woman just wanted to say that the Hutt family gave you the face because of the relationship between the two families.
"Looks like she had given you a very favorable price list this morning."
Hilla didn’t hide it. Looking at Orlenna, she nodded and said, "Indeed, it’s a very good offer."
Hilla couldn’t help but chuckle when she thought of the price and the agreement. Why did she feel like she was bribed by Mrs. Hutt?
Orlenna looked at Hilla with a smile, "Don’t tell me she wanted to sell it to you even if it is a loss?"
This was very consistent with the personality of Mrs. Hutt.
Although she didn’t have a good family background, she was very clever and knew how to curry favor with people. However, her vision was limited, and her words often failed to please Orlenna.
However, this woman had always exposed her intentions easily. Orlenna did not take today’s matter seriously. She just said to Hilla, "You did the right thing."
Orlenna meant that Hilla didn’t accept the offer of Mrs. Hutt, and directly said that she had cooperated with the Key Group.
"Although the Key family and we are not in a good relationship, they have never played tricks on such a small matter. The character of Stefan is still acceptable."
Hilla didn’t expect that Orlenna wouldn’t blame her for cooperating with the Key family, and even had such a high evaluation of the head of the Key family.
"How is the price given by the Key family?"
Orlenna turned around and asked. Hilla nodded sincerely, "It’s very reasonable!"
Indeed, according to her request and the amount she had purchased, that price was indeed very reasonable.
Originally, Hilla thought that the Key family would take the opportunity to make things difficult for her, but she didn’t expect that the one who made things difficult for her was the Hutt family, with whom she had wanted to cooperate in the beginning.
There was not much difference in the fabric of the two families. The Hutt family had an advantage in the brand. In addition to the relationship between their families, she had little inclination.
In the end, she didn’t expect that the Hutt family would deliberately call her and Orlenna over in order to rope in the Anderson family.
It was only because she was the daughter-in-law of the Anderson family.
"It’s been hard on you!" Looking at Hilla, Orlenna had a helpless expression on her face. It was said that the Anderson family had a big business and had a lot of money, and relying on the Anderson family, one would not need to work hard.
However, Orlenna was even more clear that the Anderson family’s business was not endless. If they wanted to maintain it, they had to put in more effort. Sometimes, there were also some concessions and sacrifices that people should make.
Hilla was Mrs. Anderson. Originally, with her status, she could quickly make some achievements. In River City, everyone knows about the Anderson family.
But Hilla sometimes had to avoid this.
"Mom, the studio was opened by myself, and the name is also set up by the Holt Corporation. It has nothing to do with the Anderson family. If I have to rely on the Anderson family to make the Holt Corporation brand, then the Holt Corporation will not have a long way to go."
Orlenna was surprised that Hilla was so rational, and she became more and more satisfied.
If Hilla could give birth to a child for her earlier, she would be even more overjoyed.
Sensing Orlenna looking at her, Hilla subconsciously retracted her abdomen.
When they reached the entrance of the Anderson’s mansion, Orlenna did not let her in. "Go and do what you need to do. Remember not to be afraid of offending these people. Our family can still handle them."
Seeing the serious look on Orlenna’s face, Hilla suddenly felt warm. No matter how long it took, her mother-in-law still treated her as well as before.
Just like when she helped Halle divorce the Tyson family, her methods were decisive without any hesitation and she caught the Tyson family unprepared.
Orlenna got a car for Hilla and said. "Remember, we will always be your family. No family will not protect their children."
This was her most powerful shield, allowing her to have no worries about the future.
Even if her studio failed one day, she was still Mrs. Anderson.
"Mom!" Hilla’s eyes reddened, but she was pushed into the car by Orlenna, who pretended to be indifferent.
"You are an adult now but softer than Margaret. Be mature."
If Margaret heard this, she would probably jump up in front of Orlenna and ask her why she was less soft.
Hilla got in the car. She went to a restaurant without hesitation. Of course, she called
the director of the Key Group.
Although the price of the Key family was fair, she wanted something else.
Hilla sat in the dining room and saw Stefan before the director of the Key Group came. Her impression of this man was at the cocktail party, and they had only met once.
Hilla thought that he wouldn’t recognize her, but Stefan saw her and walked over. "I heard that you just returned from Pinecastle?" Stefan had just sat down when he asked directly.
Hilla didn’t think that they were familiar enough with each other to have a chat. So she just nodded slightly.
"Has your friend returned from Pinecastle?"
Hilla looked at the cold expression of the man in front of her, suspecting that he was sleepwalking and talking to her.
She had a lot of friends in Pinecastle, but there seemed to be only one at home. Frowning, Hilla asked in a low voice, "Are you talking about Riya?"
The only thing Hilla had gained from her trip to Pinecastle was becoming friends with her husband’s ex-girlfriend!
Moreover, when Riya was in Pinecastle, she was actually a foreign professor at her school. When they met, Hilla thought that they would be at odds, but they got along well later.
The man was silent for a moment. His eyes became even deeper.
It was said that Stefan grew up with Riya. Unlike Bruce, he and Riya were best friends, just like Hilla and Riya, according to Riya.
Since Stefan was a man who exuded a chill wherever he went, it was really hard for her to be his good friend.
"Well, when will she come back?"
Hilla took a closer look at Stefan and shook her head. "I don’t know. She hasn’t talked to me about this recently."
The man frowned. As he was about to ask, Hilla quickly said to him impatiently, "Mr. Key, can you give way first? I have something to talk about with the director. You blocked my guest."
The director of the Key Group had just rushed over.
Before he could catch his breath, he saw his boss and immediately ran over to greet him. He did not expect that Mrs. Anderson would chase away his president so casually!
