"Have things always been this way?"

"Yes and no. Family is always quarrelsome. I'm not too fond of my father's family. Even less so after my mother died. There were always people who wanted to be my mother figure without asking my permission. I think I wasn't quite out of elementary school when she married my uncle. She wanted to grow closer to my father so she tried to take me under her wing to teach me manners and she started spanking me. I don't know how old I was but I ended up running around the house wihout pants screaming she was trying witchcraft right into one of my father's meetings. She was never invited back and I got a nanny I liked."

Ellie laughed at this memory. "No wonder she thinks you have no manners. You're quite naughty now even. I'm glad you never grew out of that. "Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Henry joined her laugh with a small chortle of his own. "I'm not sorry. One of the main reasons why I didn't want to be demoted to a vice president of a subsidiary or lose shares was honestly but I didn't want her to sink her claws into my father's work. I hate it that she still talks ill of both of my parents now that they are no longer with us. It's as if she was just biding her time." Henry's tone suddenly changed to serious as he realized a hole in their scheme. "You know I was wondering about our separation plan. If we do decide to go with an annulment can she sue me with the reason being I committed fraud to confirm a point that I was never actually married?"

Ellie rolled her eyes. "I mean I'm sure these days you can sue anyone for anything. But in a court of law in front of a judge I highly doubt that she would have a case. But to be safe, I'm sure you can call up the family lawyer to have a chat about the issue. I don't think as well that your uncle would want to sue his own boss. I know your family is complicated but if the paper gets a word of something like this it won't bode well for the company. It would destroy the family reputation potentially. Not without mentioning it would cause a rift and would be incredibly expensive to even start. I don't know the family well enough to judge this situation."

"The Wong family as you have correctly guessed does value unity and pride itself on that very much. My uncle Wallace is very much a man who will do anything to get the nagging of his wife to stop. Dorota does usually get her way in most things which is why she behaved so today. Wallace will believe her side of the story over mine." Henry bit his lip as he did truly consider the possibility of such a suit. It would be humiliating to say the least but not as bad if he'd married a society chit and had her come for his money during divorce proceedings
