“Mom, I suddenly remember that there’s a matter I need to discuss with Vinson. Do you want to join
me?” When Arielle turned to face Susanne, she had already buried the emotions she was experiencing
moments ago deep inside her heart.
In response, the older woman shook her hand. She didn’t want to bother the couple. “You go. I’m just
going to read the newspaper here and water the plants. Just come back during the evening and join me
for dinner.”
Truthfully, Arielle intentionally asked her about it. When she heard her mother-in-law didn’t want to go
with her, she let out a sigh of relief. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to let Susanne follow her. It was
because she wanted to keep what she planned to discuss with Vinson a secret for the time being—
Susanne’s condition. “Sure. I’ll have dinner with you later.”
“Mhm,” Susanne replied softly.
After grabbing her bag, Arielle went to the garage and drove to Nightshire Group. As a result of what
happened last time, the receptionist allowed Arielle to go upstairs directly.
When she arrived at Vinson’s office, she noticed he wasn’t inside. Thus, she waited on a couch for him.
As she waited, she sent a text message to Andrea about Susanne’s condition.
Just as she was engrossed in her chat with Andrea, the door to the office opened. She turned to the
door and saw Vinson entering the room with a frown.
“What happened?” Arielle stood and approached him. It surprised him to see her in the office since she
was so angry last night that she just ignored him. He was still wondering how he should cheer her up
when she actually came to visit him. Does this mean she’s not angry at me anymore?
When he heard her question, he said, “He is here!”
“Who is here?” Arielle was confused.
As Vinson wasn’t willing to call Gaspar his brother, he lowered his voice and uttered, “The man you met
on the island.”
When she heard that, her expression darkened. “Why is he here and for what?”
“He has forty-two percent of the shares, more than me, and he wants to use that share to become the
chairman of Nightshire Group.” When Vinson thought about Gaspar’s arrogant attitude and tone, a glint
flashed past his eyes.
In reality, he didn’t mind whether he or Gaspar was the chairman. After all, the company did partially
belong to Gaspar. However, when he thought about how Gaspar kept trying to harm him and his loved
ones, he just didn’t want to hand over the position of chairman to Gaspar.
Arielle furrowed her eyebrows. Gaspar has more shares than Vinson? Where did he get them? Just as
she was confused, he explained, “The directors I fired a few days ago sold their shares to him.”
The moment she heard that her eyes darkened. It seems like Gaspar’s determined to become
chairman.
“You don’t need to worry about the company when I’m around.” Vinson glanced at her. “So, why are
you here?”
The matters in the company are already a huge headache for him. If he learns about Susanne’s
condition, I’m worried it’ll trouble him even more. However, Susanne is his mother. He deserves to
know that she’s sick because it’s his responsibility to take care of her as a son. I’ll share this burden
with him. He’ll take care of the company’s matters while I handle Susanne’s treatment. When her train
of thought ended there, Arielle pulled out her phone and showed Vinson the text message the hospital
had sent her.
Just as he was about to take her phone, his phone suddenly rang.
When he turned it on, there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
