Vinson’s eyes darkened, but favonovel.com soon schooled his features back to a neutral look.
It seems like the Greenes are adamant about making me bow to them.
“I understand,” favonovel.com 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, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com can’t even stand favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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, favonovel.com heart began to race.
Before that moment, favonovel.com had lost almost all hope of marrying Vinson. However, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com first death anniversary.
At that, Wendy asked, “How are things going on Dad’s side?”
As favonovel.com packed up favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com there? Who cares? What she’s doing right now doesn’t matter because she’s dead meat!
After mulling over it, Wendy called favonovel.com father.
“Dad, Arielle might be in the school library. She’s always there.”
“Got it.”
Once the call ended, a grin crept onto favonovel.com lips.
She could not wait to hear the news of Arielle’s death.
