"This way, you'll have it easier!
"Look at Hudson. Thanks to Mom's feeding, he's so accomplished and capable. I'm sure my nephew will be no less talented than him.
"Mom is cultivating a future talent for the Wiley family. Our family will surely prosper, and you should be happy about that."
My mother shot me a look of approval and immediately echoed, "Exactly! You're just a clueless woman. Little Gaven is the hope of the Wiley family. We'll all rely on him in the future.
"Don't let your shortsightedness ruin my grandson's fortune, or I won't forgive you. Not just me, the ancestors of the Wiley family won't let you off."

And Paisley wholeheartedly believed in Hudson's words.
At this point, Hudson also spoke up, "Paisley, let's go along with my Mom's wishes. She wouldn't have any bad intentions."
