The man laughed at her question and said, "I know her for years. I saw her growing up. I thought she would marry me until she damped me for that stupid son of yours. Sorry no offense about that and I know you hate your son as much as you hate your daughter in law. And I don't the to destroy her like you think. I want her dead". "What!?", this shocked them to the core. They thought he hated her but wishing to see her dead isn't that a little bit to much.
Old man smith said, "how can you ask us such a crazy request do you know the outcome. And killing her will mean taking two lives so please leave my family and I". With that he stood up with his son's. The man said, "wait, What do you mean killing her will be equivalent to killing two people?", he asked, old woman looked at him and said, "she's pregnant with our grandchild". After leaving him shocked, lost they left the restaurant.
Once they reached home, the asked if Matilda was home. The maid said, "she went with sir Andrew for a medical check up". This infatuated them but there are was nothing they could do. She was his wife. Jane who was already angry beyond control for these stupid in laws of her for not taking that man's offer to finish Matilda asked, "why did you not take that man's offer?, With his offer we will get led of Matilda and at the same time became the leading family in City A, as far as I know that's your dream. And even think of acting like caring grandparents because you're not so tell me why did you not take his offer?", old man smith smile at his daughter in law and said, "I may not love her or her child but still she's you member of the smith family, what kind of a person will I be to let other people step on my family members, and I'm tired I don't want to hear this conversation again". After that he went to his bedroom followed by his wife.
Leaving his two sons in the leaving room wondering what caused their parents to have a change of heart. They also left to their respective rooms.
Once old man smith and his wife reached their room and closed the door, old woman asked him, "as far as I know you, you not a man with sympathy. So what made you not take that man's offer?. We will bit two birds with one stone. First we get led of that poor woman and control that stupid son of yours, second we will reach our dream of being the powerful people in City A", "do you really think that's easy to happen especially now that the Anthony family is flourishing?, Huh, second I did not want to have someone as a threat to me. If we were to take his offer we will always be his slaves something I can allow, third, don't worry about Matilda because with Jane's temper and stupidity she will go back to meet that man and take the offer. So it's a win on. Our side. Let's just sit and enjoy the show. I just hope that stupid son of yours does not fall a victim".
Old woman smith could not understand what her husband was saying so she asked to confirm, "what do you mean Jane will take the offer?. Why would she do that?. Is there something I don't understand?." Old the smith wondered how stupid his wife was. No wonder all their children were stupid you can not have such a stupid wife and you expect bright children. He said, "by now you have not figured out that Jane loves Andrew, if it weren't the that stupid son of yours Richard lying to us they may be married by now. And Matilda marrying Andrew destroyed all her remaining hope so she consider Matilda as her worst enemy.", "what?, Jane loves Andrew, this can't be happening". She was shocked and could not believe her ears.
Old looked at her and shook his head he said, "too bad it's happening, they love each other". "huh, how is that possible?, And when did this happen?, Then why did Richard lie to us to marry her?". She asked. "because his stupid. He thought he will hurt Andrew by marrying Jane who knew he just saved him from an obsessed woman". "this is too much now what are we going to do?, and how sure are you that Jane will take that man's offer?", old man smiled at himself as he already made a plan to make Jane fall for it little did he know that his plan will destroy his two sons future. He said to his wife, "just sit and watch don't say anything you may end up destroying my plan".
