Chapter 42

Marie said cheerily, "No, Lucy didn't tell me any jokes. She told me a piece of good news, though."

Casey looked at her curiously. "Oh? What is it?"

She remembered that Lucille had just called off her engagement to Harold. Where had the good news come from?

She frowned and asked, "Didn't Ms. Lucy already call off the engagement with the Quall family?"

Marie scowled at the mention of the Quall family. She snorted and said, "What right do they have to have my precious granddaughter as a daughter-in-law? They're unworthy of her."

Casey smiled and said, "Yes, of course. They're beneath her."

She knew that Marie had never liked Harold. After all, even if he had good looks, he'd been was blind enough to fall for someone like Sabrina.

"Ms. Lucy is so pretty, smart, and kind. A family as materialistic as the Qualls is most definitely not worthy of her. She deserves so much better."

Marie nodded. "Yes, Lucy deserves someone better. That's why the Layton chap is the perfect candidate."
