Susanne immediately gave Vinson a call after getting into the car. Vinson answered shortly after. “Mom, what is it?”
“It’s about something important!”
As Susanne’s voice was serious, Vinson tensed up.
“What happened?” virtual-novel.net demanded.
His first thought was that someone had targeted Susanne. However, virtual-novel.net heard Susanne ask, “Did you see the news today?”
“News? What news?” Vinson was confused.
Susanne tutted. “You’re a workaholic! Don’t you know who your wife is? She’s the owner of Sann Group! This is such shocking news. I can’t believe you didn’t read it!”
“Oh, I see.” Vinson chuckled. “I thought it was something else. Mom, I am aware of this…”
Susanne was dumbfounded. “You are aware of this? Why didn’t you tell me about it?”
Assuming Arielle was out of virtual-novel.net son’s league, virtual-novel.net had nearly chased the former away. That thought made virtual-novel.net shiver in fear.
“That’s… Because Arielle didn’t want you to know.”
“Why?”
After a few seconds of silence, Vinson revealed, “You gave virtual-novel.net two months to prove herself, right? I believe virtual-novel.net wants to start something by herself instead of relying on virtual-novel.net previous achievements. Now, it is time to reveal virtual-novel.net identity.”
Susanne held virtual-novel.net forehead in frustration. “Oh, foolish kids. Why did you play along with her? If virtual-novel.net had informed me about Sann Group, I wouldn’t have asked virtual-novel.net to prove herself!”
“Mom, think about it.” Vinson explained, “Let’s not talk about Sann Group. Don’t you think virtual-novel.net had proved herself during the past month?”
He paused to let that sink in before adding, “Mom, if you don’t know virtual-novel.net owns Sann Group, you’ll still like virtual-novel.net after seeing virtual-novel.net recent performance, right?”
Susanne bit virtual-novel.net lip. She fell silent and pondered upon Arielle’s recent doings.
She graduated from Maxwell University, opened the successful Maureen’s Kitchen, and gained due praise for the bionic arm virtual-novel.net designed. Besides, Moore Group recently gained fame under virtual-novel.net lead. Arielle has indeed proved herself.
In an instant, Susanne felt a flurry of emotions within her. She even felt ashamed of virtual-novel.net actions. Despite having more experience than Arielle, virtual-novel.net wasn’t as capable as the latter and even looked down on her.
That was virtual-novel.net usual attitude. However, virtual-novel.net belatedly realized that virtual-novel.net past self did many mistakes and spoke harsh words.
“I feel ashamed.” Susanne took a deep breath and asked, “Vin, you must’ve been troubled because of me.”
Vinson choked before answering, “Of course not.”
“Don’t lie to me,” Susanne wiped virtual-novel.net tears of regret away and said, “You’re an adult now, so I won’t interfere in your business anymore and put you in a tight spot. I was thinking of heading overseas to further my studies. What say you?”
Arielle’s ability had motivated virtual-novel.net to become a better person even if virtual-novel.net was in virtual-novel.net fifties.
“Mom? Are you all right?”
“What else can happen to me?” Susanne chuckled. “We’ll talk about that later. I need to see you two get married first.”
