Ch. 5538: Married at First Sight Chapter 5538

Chapter 5538

Chairman Francoeur could die in peace.

Therefore, for decades, the Francoeur family had supported the Jacques family. His daughter-in-law, Yima, had also been helping her family financially and materially, and Chairman Francoeur had always turned a blind eye.

After all, it was only some nutritional supplements.

Yima didn't have much money, and her influence was limited to managing the household. She couldn't make decisions or get involved in matters outside the home.

However, the Jacques family kept trying to control Winnie through marriage, and Chairman Francoeur had finally had enough.

It wasn't just once or twice. It had happened countless times.

No matter how good his temper was or how much he owed them, he could no longer tolerate it.

Yima said, "Thank you for your concern, Dad. My parents are in good health."

Chairman Francoeur nodded. "I'm relieved to hear that my in-laws are healthy. You send your parents supplements every few days. It would be a shame if they weren't in good health, considering how much you care about them."

Yima's expression changed, and her face immediately flushed.

She lowered her head and said softly, "Dad, I... I'll take less from the house for my parents in the future."

Chairman Francoeur said, "Yima, Dad isn't saying you're wrong for bringing things to your parents. As their daughter, it's your duty to be filial to them. But you have no obligation to support your siblings."

Yima's face turned even redder.

After a long silence, she whispered, "They... they're not as well off as I am. We have plenty of these supplements at home. We can't even finish them all. I... I was afraid they would expire, so I took some back for them."

Then she added quietly, "Dad, if you're unhappy about it, I'll take less in the future."

"Yima, I don't mind you helping your brothers and sisters, but you need to consider whether they're worth helping.

"You've always helped them, yet they're constantly scheming against Winnie and against our family.

"Yima, Dad isn't asking you to cut ties with your family. But you're a daughter-in-law of the Francoeur family, and Winnie is your only child. You and your daughter are the closest family you have. You should put your own family and the interests of you and your daughter first.

"Your siblings have their own families. They're healthy, capable adults who can work and earn money. None of them are unemployed, and everyone receives a salary every month.

"They have no problem supporting their own families with their income. Their living conditions may not be as good as ours, but they're still better off than 90% of the families in the country.

"Ever since you married into the Francoeur family, from the very first time you gave them something, it's been nearly thirty years. You know how much everything you've given them was worth. After nearly thirty years, how much do you think that adds up to?

"And what happened?

"Instead of being grateful, they tried to use you to manipulate my granddaughter—your daughter.

"I've told you so many times: Winnie's marriage is none of your business. You don't need to interfere anymore.

"I have my own plans, and Winnie has her own opinions. You can't control her, much less allow your siblings to control her.

"Do you even know what kind of men they've been introducing to Winnie?

"Yima, Winnie is our only child. Her marriage is a major matter and cannot be rushed. Don't push her to settle for just any man simply because she's twenty-eight.

"She's good enough, and she deserves better.

"Which of those so-called high-quality men introduced by her uncles and aunts has any real ability? They're all rich second-generation heirs who know nothing but how to spend money. Their real goal is to marry Winnie and eventually inherit the Francoeur family's entire fortune.

"They're after our family's assets.

"Everything in the Francoeur family will eventually be handed over to Winnie. You could say they're targeting your daughter's assets and her interests.

"Are you really willing to let other people take advantage of your daughter's interests?"
