Elena Williams had a good first impression of Yeh Jun.
Although he wasn’t strikingly attractive, he was not ugly, had regular features, and stood about 1.65 meters tall with a decent physique.
He had a respectable job.
His family background was simple.
Elena Williams didn’t have very high expectations for a daughter-in-law. As long as she had good character and her son liked her, that would be enough.
She thought Mrs. Thompson might have a similar impression of Yeh Jun.
After all, the elderly woman had long been urging Charlie Thompson to find a girlfriend.
But unexpectedly…
Mrs. Thompson glanced towards the back door of the living room and then said, “From my observation, she’s not right for Bo Yie She’s not good enough for him.”
She couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong with Yeh Jun.
But she lacked a likable quality.
Mrs. Thompson had come with hope, but now it seemed that Yeh Jun was not the right person for Charlie Thompson.
Elena Williams laughed, “Mom, do you think she’s too ordinary?”
Besides her ordinary upbringing, Elena Williams couldn’t find any other faults
with Yeh Jun.
“If I despised her for her upbringing, would Jayden’s wife have been allowed to cross our threshold?” Mrs. Thompson retorted.
Mrs. Thompson had three sons.
Her eldest son was Sawyer Thompson, with Mary Perryne as his wife.
Mary Perryne came from a household with a distinguished lineage, her ancestors held public offices for generations, and her family name held significant prestige in Capital City.
Her second son was Evan Thompson, with Elena Williams as his wife.
Elena Williams was the only daughter of the Williams family. The Williams family was quietly influential in River City. They did not make a public show of their wealth, but the mere mention of their name would warrant respect and deference from even the upper echelons of River City.
Of the two daughters-in-law, both had illustrious backgrounds, except Penny Kalafatis, the wife of Jayden Thompson, the third son of the Thompson family, had the humblest birth.
Penny Kalafatis was born in a rural area, with five other siblings, she was the third child.
Due to her poor family circumstances, she started working immediately after completing primary school.
Contrastingly, Jayden Thompson graduated from a prestigious university, earned both his master’s and doctorate consecutively and founded the JK Group after graduation.
One was the CEO, and the other was a restaurant waiter.
Nearly everyone doubted this romantic relationship.
At that time, Jayden Thompson was prepared to fight against Mrs. Thompson to defend their relationship, yet to his surprise, after meeting Penny, Mrs. Thompson did not oppose, instead, she even agreed with laughter and assisted Penny’s family.
Elena Williams was momentarily dumbfounded.
Yes, of course.
If her mother-in-law detested Yeh Jun’s background, then Penny would not have been allowed into the Thompson family.
Even if Yeh Jun had a lowly background, could it be worse than Penny’s?
“Then why?” Elena Williams asked.
Mrs. Thompson squinted, her eyes full of wisdom, surrounded by wrinkles brought about by age, yet they were not murky. “She doesn’t seem virtuous.”
Elena Williams asked curiously, “How can you tell?”
Mrs. Thompson smiled, “1 take a look.”
In her lifetime, Mrs. Thompson has seen many people and experienced numerous events.
Elena Williams continued, “What if you are wrong?” No one is perfect; who doesn’t make mistakes?
“You can call Bo Yi over.’
Elena Williams hesitated, “Yeh Jun is still here. Isn’t it a bit inappropriate?” “Are you afraid of her?” Mrs. Thompson asked.
“It’s not exactly fear, but…” Elena Williams felt it was somewhat impolite. Mrs. Thompson simply didn’t like Yeh Jun at this point. This didn’t necessarily mean that Yeh Jun had a character problem.
“What’s with the hesitation? Just go!” Mrs. Thompson frowned slightly.
Just like the other members of the Thompson family, Elena Williams respected Mrs. Thompson immensely, so upon hearing her words, she immediately said, “I’ll go now.” She swiftly took action.
This scene dumbfounded the household servants.
Having worked in the house for so long, Elena Williams had always been assertive, her word was law. They never expected that she would be so deferential to Mrs. Thompson.
Mrs. Thompson watched Elena Williams’ retreating figure, smiling helplessly.
Her daughter-in-law, despite being in her forties, had been coddled all her life and often failed to see the complex side of human nature.
Yeh Jun followed Charlie Thompson from behind.
Charlie Thompson was talking to a colleague about work matters, and almost no communication transpired between them all the way.

Yeh Jun didn’t mind.
Because Charlie Thompson was just that kind of person who loved his work more than his girlfriend.
When Yeh Jun first met Charlie Thompson, and saw him constantly looking at his phone, she thought he had someone else.
After reading Charlie Thompson’s chat history later, she realized he was genuinely busy.
