Chapter 846 Everything Will Turn Out Perfectly

Selena headed upstairs without any hesitation. Jane, on the other hand, looked as if there was something else she wanted to say, but she had no choice but to leave as the maids were all heading toward her.

The fact that Selena was Jason's cousin came as a huge shock to Jane. She was overwhelmed with complicated emotions when she first found out about it. On the one hand, Jane understood that Selena and Jason would no longer have any romantic feelings toward one another since they were cousins.

On the other hand, Jane knew that mending her relationship with Selena would be a challenging task, for Jane had been too offensive toward Selena in the past. Although Jane tried to act as if nothing had happened in the past, she wasn't surprised when Selena ignored her attempts without showing her any respect.

A string of curses left Jane's lips the moment she got into her car. "I don't think you have to try so hard to please Selena, Princess Jane. Selena seldom comes here since she resides in Astoria. I'm sure her interactions with the Murray Family will get even sparser once Old Master Murray and Old Madam Murray pass away." The maid hurried over to comfort Jane.

"What do you know? Selena plays a significant role in the Murray Family, and I'll have to get past her if I want to get married to Jason. It's not going to be easy." Jane gritted her teeth. "But I'm sure I'll replace a way to deal with her!"

...

The baby was fast asleep when Selena went up to check on her child. She headed out of the room to look for Jocelyn, only to realize that Jocelyn had also been looking around for her. "Did Jane leave?" Jocelyn asked.

"Yeah. She left. It seems like you don't really fancy her either, Aunt Jocelyn," Selena commented.

Jocelyn let out a sigh. "This marriage was fixed a few years ago. We came to an agreement with the Oberlin Family as we thought that they were an honorable and well-respected family that wouldn't get involved in any nasty business. Jane seemed like a pretty and mature girl, and she was so in love with Jason, so the marriage seemed like a good idea then.

However, people only reveal their true colors after you spend a little more time with them. The Oberlin Family didn't even bother to check on us when the Murray Group was in trouble a while ago. Although they didn't tell us anything about calling the marriage off, I heard rumors of them making plans to do such a thing.

However, there wasn't any mention of this after Jason and Reuben managed to resolve the issues in the company. That incident left its mark, and I often wonder if they would have called the marriage off if Murray Group hadn't pulled through the tough situation it was in?"

Jocelyn had an uneasy feeling about the Oberlin Family ever since this incident occurred, as she felt like they weren't loyal and righteous individuals. She wouldn't have minded if they merely refused to help, but she couldn't believe that they even considered cutting ties with the Murrays.

Jocelyn no longer showed any interest in the marriage after that incident, and she treated Jane indifferently even when Jane came over. Upon hearing what Jocelyn said, Selena decided to tell Jocelyn everything about how Jane had tried to harm her in the past. When Jocelyn heard the story, she felt her heart pounding with fear. What will become of my son if he gets married to a woman like that? "These stories aren't that important, Aunt Jocelyn. What matters the most is that Jason doesn't seem to fancy Jane at all," Selena uttered at the end of her story.

At that, Jocelyn heaved a long sigh. "Of course. Jason's an obedient and kind man, but I know he has his own opinions and ideas. He's merely acting this way because he's a filial child who doesn't want to ruin your grandparents' reputation."

"Well, can't you just cancel this marriage, Aunt Jocelyn?" Selena asked.

Jocelyn shook her head. "They've already gotten engaged, and everyone around us knows about their marriage. It'll be an embarrassment to both our families if we call the marriage off. Furthermore, the Oberlins have a lot of power. We may not be terrified of them, but we're not sure of what they might do to us since they have a few tricks up their sleeves. Our family needs to continue living in this area. It'd be foolish to provoke them."

Selena's eyes lit up right then. "If you're against their wedding as well, then why don't you let me replace a way to get this marriage canceled, Aunt Jocelyn?"

At that moment, Jocelyn looked into Selena's eyes. "Well, of course it'd be great if we could call this marriage off, Selena. However, your grandparents are old now, and I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to handle such stress."

"Don't worry, Aunt Jocelyn. I have a plan. I'm going to make sure that everything turns out perfectly."
