Chapter-152: you can now pick 5 people, Jessica
Logically speaking, Jessica Lark received the best education and was the first to get resources, so he should be smarter than Wendy Lark. Wendy Lark was always straightforward. "Now it's your turn, Jessica Lark, you pick someone."
Old lady Lark was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?" Wendy Lark blinked her eyes, with a hint of malice, "Your Excellency only gave us five places." However, there are nearly twenty people in the Lark family's main branch.
Old Lady Lark was stunned. This was different from what she expected. Wendy Lark urged impatiently, "Don't waste my precious time and choose quickly. I haven't had breakfast yet, and I get irritable when I'm hungry."
Is it easy for her to handle things on an empty stomach? Wilson lark, who was not far away, felt so distressed that he quickly brought the food over and said, "Eat quickly."
A bowl of steaming vegetable and lean meat porridge, the porridge is thick and fragrant. The two golden poached eggs exuded a wonderful fragrance. Wendy Lark couldn't help but take a bite. The cooking temperature was just right.
She gave a thumbs up and said, "It's delicious, Dad. Your cooking skills are excellent." It is not difficult to fry a poached egg, but it takes a lot of practice to make it neither too overcooked nor too tender and have a nice shape.
After receiving praise from his daughter, Wilson Lark smiled widely and was very proud of it. Although he is not very good at other things, he is very talented in cooking. This is called, like daughter, like father.
If the daughter is such a great cook, how can the father be any worse? Right…? Old lady Lark looked disgusted, "You, a grown man, cooking for your daughter, it is simply a disgrace to our Lark family..."
Wendy Lark looked at him coldly, "If you dare to say one more word, I will keep you here and cook for me every day as a maid." Old lady Lark shut up immediately. She believed that Wendy Lark was capable of doing such a cruel thing.
Wendy Lark held the bowl of porridge and issued an ultimatum, "Jessica Lark, if you don't make a choice before I finish eating, then you will be considered to have given up."
Jessica Lark was shocked and immediately uttered, "I...choose my grandmother, my parents, and my eldest brother..." Grandmother is the ancestor of the family. She has a grudge against Wendy Lark and cannot let her stay.
Her parents are the people she loves most and her eldest brother is the eldest grandson and the heir to the family. That leaves four people, with only one spot left. She looked here and there in embarrassment, with a look of pain on her face.
Young Master Lark couldn't help but get anxious, "Sister, you can't just ignore me." The family is going to live a good life, why abandon him? The eldest sister in law of the Lark family was also anxious and said.
"Sister, I have always loved you, and you don't want us to be separated, do you?" Once separated, it's forever. Second Sister in law Lark's face turned pale. "No, what about the children…? We can't abandon them. They are the future of the Lark family."
Jessica Lark looked at the four little kids. They were at that age where they didn't really understand anything and looked at it blankly, not knowing what was going on. Her heart ached, "I'm sorry, I really can't help it. A child costs 100,000..."
Wendy Lark did it on purpose, leaving these children behind as bargaining chips to check and balance those who betrayed the family. Even if they wanted to do something, they would first consider the children left in the Family.
If they had the slightest bit of protectiveness in their hearts, they would not dare to act recklessly.
Another thing is that she deliberately punished them, made them taste the pain of separation from their own flesh and blood, and made them spend the rest of their lives in regret and pain. But, she did everything perfectly, and all the bad things were done by others.
She was completely innocent of the decisions made by the Prince of Jim and the choices made by Jessica Lark. If you want to blame someone, blame the person who makes the decision, the person who makes the choice. Those who stayed had to please her as the Family leader.
"What? One hundred thousand for a child…? Then pack them up and send them away quickly." The Family member's eyes lit up. They didn't expect that a child was so valuable! If possible, you can also give your own children away.
One hundred thousand! You can't bear to treat them badly even if you buy them at a high price. "They think it's too expensive." Wendy Lark's words extinguished the enthusiasm of the Family members.
She ate her breakfast slowly, with the last mouthful of porridge left. "There is still one spot left." Everyone looked at Jessica Lark to see what choice she would make. Jessica Lark closed his eyes and hardened his heart, "I choose the second brother."
Her second brother, who is related by blood, is her closest relative. The others are separated by a layer. Even her most beloved nephew is not as close to her as her biological brother. The second young master Lark was overjoyed.
He jumped up and down and cheered. He was happy that he could live a good life and would not have to suffer exile anymore. Those who were not selected were dejected, extremely disappointed, and tears were streaming down their faces.
All aspects of life were revealed in front of everyone. Wendy Lark smiled slightly, "Okay, it's decided. Sir, pay the money." The Prince of Jim was silent for a moment, then waved his hand and asked his men to deliver the banknotes.
