On the way back, the couple discussed what they should do first.
“It’s just a small matter,” Arielle uttered as her lips curved upward.
However, Susanne didn’t believe her. There’s no way it’s a small matter since both of them return together.
What’s going on? Why am I feeling flustered?
Vinson realized the approach he and Arielle used on his mother seemed a bit too much for her to handle. Thus, he lazed on the couch and said plainly.
“Mom, I just want to ask you about my half-brother. What’s the deal with him?”
“That’s the thing you want to ask me about?” Susanne asked as she stared at her son.
He nodded, which made her angry.
Slapping his thigh, she exclaimed, “You almost gave me a heart attack! I thought something bad has happened. Anyway, why are you asking about him again? Did he do something?”
“He challenged me at the office in the morning because he wanted to be Nightshire Group’s chairman.”
With a neutral tone, he explained, “Truthfully, it doesn’t matter to me who’s the chairman. After all, we’re both my father’s sons. There’s no difference in who gets the position. However, he’s a cruel man who had attempted to harm me multiple times. If I weren’t as capable as I was, I probably would’ve died in his hand by now.”
For a moment, Susanne didn’t know what to say. She always felt that she owed Gaspar and his mother even though she didn’t know they existed when she married Vinson’s father.
“How should we resolve this matter?” Feeling torn, she stared at her son.
She didn’t want her son or Gaspar to be hurt. Frankly, Vinson really wanted to comply with the text message’s request. After giving it some thought, he felt he should take his mother’s advice and have a chat with Gaspar.
However, the most important thing at the moment was Susanne’s brain tumor. He could deal with Gaspar later.
“Mom, there’s one more thing I need to talk to you about…”
