The Heiress Revived Ch 253

Chapter 253 Put Her on Speaker, Kenny
Finished
As soon as James started pushing the whole ‘get married and have kids’ thing, Kenny’s brain immediately pictured Mia-beautiful, but with a stare that could kill.
He swallowed hard. Landing a girl like her? That’s not a short-term project.
So he switched tactics. “Come on, Dad, don’t overthink it. You’re only fifty, Why not just have another kid with Mom? Give Jeffrey and me a little brother. Right, Jeffrey?”
Jeffrey nodded along. “Yeah, Kenny’s right. If you really want a next-gen CEO, maybe you and Mom should get a head start.”
James looked like someone had hit him with a baseball bat.
“You two are unbelievable. You won’t touch the company, won’t settle down, won’t start families-what exactly are you planning to do? And you, Jeffrey, you’re almost thirty. Not a single girlfriend in all these years. Be honest-do you like men?”
Jeffrey’s eyes nearly popped out of his head. “What? Dad, seriously? I don’t have a girlfriend because I’m busy. That doesn’t mean I’m into guys. Kenny’s single too-why aren’t you questioning him?”
Kenny jumped in, clearly offended.
“Who said I don’t have a girlfriend? I just broke up with one. If I wanted a new one, I could get one in like five minutes.”
“Yeah sure, keep dreaming.”
“I’m not joking. I may not be the best at business or school, but when it comes to women? I’m top tier.”
James perked up. “For real?”
“Obviously.” Kenny lifted his chin, acting like he was the king of charm.
Jeffrey wasn’t buying it. “Yeah right. Anyone can talk big. If you’ve really got someone, call her. Put it on speaker.”
Kenny smirked. “Easy. I’ll call right now. Not a problem.”
He pulled out his phone and started scrolling to dial one of the girls he usually hung out with. But before he could hit the call, Jeffrey grabbed the phone out of his hand.
Right at the top of Kenny’s contacts was a number labeled, Mia My Goddess.
Well, well.
With a name like that, it was pretty obvious-Kenny wasn’t just into her. He was seriously into her.
Jeffrey didn’t hesitate. He hit the call button and immediately put it on speaker.
Kenny’s heart practically exploded. He lunged to end the call, but before he could, Mia had already picked

He figured even if Mia had a bit of an edge, there was no way she wouldn’t soften up when he used that sweet, familiar tone.
Instead, her voice came through sharp and annoyed, “Cut the crap,”
Kenny’s face went red all the way to his ears.
James and Jeffrey were wheezing with laughter, practically in tears.
Once they managed to pull themselves together, James shot Kenny a look full of doubt.
That’s your idea of being a ladies’ man? Really?
Kenny was dying inside. The secondhand embarrassment was so real he wanted to dig a hole and crawl in.
He forced out a weak smile and tried to explain. “You guys wouldn’t get it. That’s just playful banter. It’s a thing with couples these days-romantic in a modern kind of way.”
James and Jeffrey weren’t having it. The irritation in that girl’s voice had been loud and clear. No amount of spin could change that.
“You don’t believe me?” Kenny protested.
Jeffrey raised an eyebrow and grinned. “If you can get her to come over and hang out here at the house, then we’ll believe you. Right, Dad?”
James nodded right away. “Jeffrey nailed it.”
At this point, James had two major concerns.
One, who was going to take over the business.
Two, when his sons were finally going to settle down and get married.
A few years back, James never stressed about his sons settling down.
With their looks, money, and background, he figured there were probably tons of girls out there just waiting for a chance.
But now? Time had flown by, and his oldest was about to hit thirty-with zero trace of a girlfriend.
Kenny, the younger one, had definitely dated his share of girls over the years-but none of them were remotely serious. Not one felt like someone he could actually build a future with.
Instead, Kenny spent most of his time running around with his usual crowd of reckless friends. He lived like he didn’t have a care in the world, while James constantly worried himself sick.
Not long ago, Kenny came home all busted up-black eye, split head, looking like he barely survived a bar fight.
At this point, James just wanted him to find a good, solid girlfriend. Someone who could keep him grounded. A girl would at least keep him busy with dates instead of getting into trouble every other weekend.

That’s why James was so hung up on the idea of Kenny being in a relationship.
“Kenny, what does this girl do?”
Kenny’s face turned red. “She’s a student at Hoverdale Tech University.”
The second James heard that, his interest in Mia skyrocketed.
Hoverdale Tech was no joke-one of the top schools in the country. Anyone who got in had to be the best of the best. If Kenny really had a shot with a girl like that, James would support it all the way.
