My Husband Is a Gary Stu

Chapter 1524 Not At All Exaggerated

Ysabelle had turned around and told her mother the gossip that Xylia had shared with her at the entrance earlier.

Naturally, Louisa would side with Xylia since she had issues with Johanna in the first place.

She pulled Xylia over to sit down. “Timothy, today is your Ysabelle's wedding, and Xylia has purposely taken time off work to attend her wedding. For my sake, could you please let go of your anger?”

Just as Timothy was about to respond to her last sentence with sarcasm, his shin was suddenly kicked. He glanced at Johanna and did not utter another word.

Listen to your wife. If she says to let it go, then let it go.

Louisa wanted to help Xylia get Waylon's WhatsApp, but the latter had already left. So, she reassured Xylia, “Since Mr. Saafield is a guest invited by my son-in-law, I'll talk to him when I get home.”

“Thank you, Mrs. Steele,” Xylia said, flashing a faint smile. She then took the initiative to pick up her fork and pile food on Louisa's plate.

“What's there to thank for? You get along so well with Ysabelle, and you're such a beautiful and well- behaved girl,” Louisa complimented her. “If I had a son, I would surely approve of you becoming my daughter-in-law.”

Timothy ignored them and leaned over to ask Johanna, “What would you like to eat, Honey? I'll get it for you.”

“Help yourself. I can serve myself.”

Louisa initially thought Xylia had exaggerated her words, but after seeing it for herself, she felt it was not at all an exaggeration. What kind of man behaves like this? He completely disregards his dignity to coax his wife, yet, his wife still ignores him.

Unable to stand it any longer, she placed her cutlery on the table and said, “Timothy, I have something to discuss with you.”

It seemed as if Timothy did not hear her as he scooped a bowl of stew and placed it next to Johanna.

Louisa was not upset and continued speaking. “Ysabelle isn't just coming back to get married. The couple also want to work in the capital. That way, they'll be nearer to our home and her husband's family's home. With you being Ysabelle's cousin, I'll feel more at ease if she works at your company, knowing you're there to look after her.”

“That's where you're wrong, Aunt Louisa,” Timothy drawled. “Since she's married now, it should be her husband taking care of her. I need to look after my wife and child.”

“I just want you to look after her at work,” said Louisa.

Timothy took a leisurely bite of his food. “Even though it's not the recruitment period at Forlisle Group, she is my cousin, in any case. Very well. Have her send her resume to the Forlisle Group's HR department.”

After being dumbfounded for a few seconds, Louisa persuaded gently, “As your cousin, does she really need to apply to work at your company? You could just bring her in straight away. I'm not asking you to

pull strings, but your cousin is a top graduate from Merania University and exceptionally capable. You could just arrange an executive position for her.”

Timothy chuckled in amusement at her words. “It's true that my family owns shares in Forlisle Group, Aunt Louisa, but I don't have the final say in the company. I can't just appoint someone as an executive. It doesn't work like that.”

“Timothy, you're being biased.” Louisa's expression turned cold.

“Who doesn't know that after the Benson family went bankrupt, Mr. Benson's eldest son and daughter joined the Forlisle Group, and they became executives as soon as they joined. You treat outsiders so well. Don't you care about your cousin?”

Timothy scoffed and said, “You know they became executives at Forlisle Group. Yet, you forget that when Benson Corporation was still around, Mr. Benson's eldest son was a company director, and his second daughter was the vice CEO. They could easily become CEOs at other major companies. For them to join Forlisle Group as general managers is beneath their abilities.” Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

He added, “Also, I didn't pull any strings to get them in. They went through the proper channels and got in through interviews.”

Louisa's expression turned icy when she heard that. “So, you're saying you don't want to arrange a job for your cousin?”

“She's thirty, not twenty. If you, as her mom, want to worry about her job, that's your business,” Timothy drawled. “Of course, it's not my place as an outsider to interfere.”

Louisa could not help but lose her temper. “Timothy, your mom and I are biological sisters.”

“So what if you're sisters? Did OId Mrs. Wenstein ever show her affection?” Timothy retorted, his eyes devoid of any humor. “Ask yourself, Aunt Louisa. Did you ever show affection to your younger sister when you were children?”

As Timothy's eyes bore into her, filled with an intimidating chill, Louisa felt a shiver run through her body, leaving her unable to utter a single word.
