Regret
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?” he demanded.
His first thought was that someone had targeted Susanne.
However, he 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 her son’s league, she had nearly chased the former away.
That thought made her shiver in fear.
“That’s… because Arielle didn’t want you to know.”
“Why?”
After a few seconds of silence, Vinson revealed, “You gave her two months to prove herself, right? I
believe she wants to start something by herself instead of relying on her previous achievements. Now, it
is time to reveal her identity.”
Susanne held her forehead in frustration. “Oh, foolish kids. Why did you play along with her? If she had
informed me about Sann Group, I wouldn’t have asked her to prove herself!”
“Mom, think about it.” Vinson explained, “Let’s not talk about Sann Group. Don’t you think she had
proved herself during the past month?”
He paused to let that sink in before adding, “Mom, if you don’t know she owns Sann Group, you’ll still like
her after seeing her recent performance, right?”
Susanne bit her 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 she designed. Besides, Moore Group recently gained fame under her lead.
Arielle has indeed proved herself.
In an instant, Susanne felt a flurry of emotions within her.
She even felt ashamed of her actions.
Despite having more experience than Arielle, she wasn’t as capable as the latter and even looked down
on her.
That was her usual attitude. However, she belatedly realized that her 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 her 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 her to become a better person even if she was in her 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.”
