Chapter 676 - Talk with Madam White (2/2)

Elanor looked at Sarah. ”You might wonder why I insisted of having you here as well. Even if Aiden is not interested in our business, as Jeffrey's brother, he will be second in command of White family resources. We will discuss what that means when the time comes.”

She directed rest of her talk to both JoAnna and Sarah. ”I wanted to talk about this with you before the wedding, for a reason. There is a lot of work involved in managing everything related to White family, but most of the people see us only as power and money ignoring hard work and difficult decisions which are necessary in order to keep our standing. Your new status will put you in a spotlight and attract many who think that they can easily obtain what does not belong to them.”

Elanor sighed before continuing. ”As wives in White family, you will be targets. Always. Both of you and my boys included. You will face endless stream of men who will try to deceive you and use you against my sons. You will need to fight off infinite line of women who will do unimaginable things while trying to climb into their beds. Because of this I insisted to know if you care for each other before I accepted your relationships. Road ahead of you will be hard and challenging and the only way to survive what is coming is to trust each other and to trust in your love.” Elanor paused.

”Back to the wedding… I'm confident that you know this, but I want to emphasize: most of the people invited are not on the guestlist because we like them. Some of them work for us, some of the collaborate with us, and some of them are enemies. They will judge you and some will even openly tell you that you are not worthy. Ignore them. It only counts what current Master and Madam of the family say, and that is Oscar and me. And we accepted you. Both of you. However, many don't see it that way, and no matter how good you are, in their eyes you are not good enough. Don't try to convince them, because it's a waste of energy.”

Elanor looked at both of them and smiled. ”I am very happy that two of you are getting along with my sons and with each other very well. You also have Sophia on your side. I believe that these few relationships are something you can rely on unconditionally. Don't give your trust to others easily and keep in mind that even some of your friends with good intentions will be manipulated and used against you, most of the time without their knowledge. Considering your background, I'm confident that you are familiar with these schemes but still I want to remind you to stay vigilant.”

Elanor exhaled. ”OK. I think I said most of the things I wanted to say. Do you have any questions?”

Both JoAnna and Sarah were in their thoughts.

JoAnna was wondering what roles Madam White has, but Elanor already said that she can't reveal too much before she is married, so there is no point in asking.

Sarah was thinking about 'infinite line of women' who will try to climb into Aiden's bed and her face darkened… it's not like she didn't see all kinds of women ogling at her Greek God, and few even openly offered themselves, in front of her! She shook her head trying not to think about it, and her next thought landed on one woman who wants to climb into Jeff's bed.

Sarah glanced at JoAnna and pulled her phone. She texted Eve asking her for Regina's location and within seconds got a response.

Sarah looked at Elanor. ”We will think about this and get back to you. How about lunch? I know an amazing place close to White corp. HQ, we can meet with Jeff and Oscar, and walk there. It's a beautiful day...”

JoAnna and Elanor agreed and Sarah went to get Aiden with a slightly evil grin on her face. 'You want to avoid confronting Regina? Let's see if you can ignore her now…'
