Vinson’s eyes darkened, but he soon schooled his features back to a neutral look.
It seems like the Greenes are adamant about making me bow to them.
“I understand,” he quietly replied. “Tell them that I won’t be free at night, so let’s have lunch tomorrow
instead. At the same time, ask the chairman of Yeager Group if he’s free to meet me in Zaprington.”
“Yeager Group?” The representative of the subsidiary company paled upon hearing the company’s
name.
Yeager Group was Larson Group’s rival, and the competition between the two companies was fierce.
However, Yeager Group did not have Horington’s largest company Greene Corporation—to back them
up, so they were not as well-established as Larson
Group.
Meeting with Yeager Group meant that Vinson was planning to collaborate with another company.
“I understand.” The other man nodded and instantly contacted Yeager Group.
Yeager Group was more than delighted to agree to meet at a restaurant in Zaprington in an hour.
In the meantime, Susanne was even more distressed after Vinson hung up on her.
My dumb son! He has a high IQ, but he’s not flexible when it comes to dealing with people. What if the
Greenes get annoyed and start sabotaging his business deals?
After a long while of contemplation, Susanne decided to appease Cecilia first.
A moment of hesitation later, Susanne called Cecilia and enthusiastically said, “What are you planning
to bake on Monday? I’ll have the housekeeper prepare the ingredients first. That way, you can just
come without needing to bring anything along.”
Cecilia’s lips slowly curled.
“Well, that’ll be too much trouble for you…”
“No, no, it’s fine. We’re friends, after all. No need for pleasantries.”
At that, Cecilia said, “Then I look forward to the day we become a family.”
Susanne choked upon hearing the woman’s words. After squeezing out two wry laughs, she replied,
“See you on Monday.”
“See you on Monday.”
Cecilia then ended the call.
Immediately, Wendy asked, “What did Mrs. Nightshire
say?”
Cecilia cackled. “Susanne seems all high and mighty at most times, but she can’t even stand her
ground whenever anything serious happens. Look, I just informed Horington’s side to intervene in
Vinson’s collaboration, and Susanne is already calling me.”
Wendy’s eyes instantly glistened as she asked eagerly, “Mom, does that mean that I still have a chance
to marry Vinson?”
Cecilia nodded confidently. “Don’t worry, my good girl. The title of Mrs. Nightshire will eventually be
yours.”
As soon as Wendy heard that, her heart began to race.
Before that moment, she had lost almost all hope of marrying Vinson. However, her mother’s
reassuring
tone had lit the flame of hope again.
I’m the one who’s most suitable for Vinson. I’m the only one who can help Vinson out. Arielle, on the
other hand… Ha! One year from now will be her first death anniversary.
At that, Wendy asked, “How are things going on Dad’s side?”
As she packed up her suitcase, Cecilia responded, “He called a while ago, saying that they had found
Arielle. She’s at Jadeborough University, and your dad is bringing his men there now.”
“She’s in school?”
Wendy’s brows drew together, wondering, Why would Arielle be in school at this time of the day? Could
it be that she’s at the archive again? Why is she there? Who cares? What she’s doing right now doesn’t
matter because she’s dead meat!
After mulling over it, Wendy called her father.
“Dad, Arielle might be in the school library. She’s always there.”
“Got it.”
Once the call ended, a grin crept onto her lips.
She could not wait to hear the news of Arielle’s death.
