Chapter 952 Change to Another Target
Rebecca had always had a strong character, and since she suffered a traumatic love life, she treated others even colder. Therefore, Ariel must have had it hard while growing up under her mom’s care.
All the grievances she suffered were because of Camren. “That’s not true. Mom has taken good care of me, and we take care of each other. I didn’t feel life was hard.”
Ariel didn’t resent her mother. Instead, she could understand her mother better because they had the same personalities. “That’s good to hear…” Camren felt more relieved after hearing that, but then he thought of something and asked, “Why didn’t that Danny kid come with you guys?”
“Our company is looking to establish a subsidiary company here, so he’s quite busy lately and can’t leave.” Ariel didn’t hesitate to help Danny find an excuse.
The reality was that even though she didn’t exactly lose contact with Danny as he would reply to her messages, she had not seen him for a while now.
When she went to Elise’s house that day, she could sense something was wrong but couldn’t guess what it was. Therefore, she didn’t dare to act rashly and could only wait and see what would happen.
“It’s a good sign. Men should be eager to fight for their careers while still young.” Camren nodded before sharing his words of wisdom. “You should be more understanding of him and have more trust in him. Don’t take after your mom and me and let your relationship end in remorse.”
“I know, but I’m very curious. How did you guys split up back then?” That was something Ariel had been trying to find out.
“It’s a long story. I’ll explain it to you next time.”
“Fine then. I’ll go check up on Mom.”
“Sure, you go check up on her.”
Since she couldn’t find out any gossip, Ariel didn’t stay any longer. When she came out of the building, she discovered that her mother had left without her. It should mean that her mother wanted to be alone.
To avoid disturbing her mother, Ariel decided to head over to their new company.
As the business had just started, Danny wouldn’t always be at the office, so as the co-owner, she had to watch over the company.
Ariel was busy with work until 6.00PM when she decided to leave and check up on her mother.
Just as she came out of the building, she bumped into Maverick.
His car was parked by the road with its door wide open, obviously indicating that he had specially come over to pick her up.
“Come on. Accompany me somewhere.” Maverick came forward and invited her.
“I’m busy. You’d better not waste your efforts.” Walking around him, Ariel made her way to her car.
Then, Maverick raised his voice and said something that successfully made her stop in her tracks. “I just wanted to bring you to meet a few business partners. It’s business matters. Don’t tell me you aren’t interested in earning money?”
After pondering for a moment, Ariel turned around and walked toward his car. “I’m not that petty.”
A satisfied smile appeared on Maverick’s face. He knew her very well, so how could he let her walk away?
Arie, you can’t escape from me.
Maverick and Ariel worked together to please their business partner, making him agree to sponsor the projects they wanted.
After the business dinner ended, Maverick drove Ariel home.
Since Ariel wanted to avoid talking with Maverick, she kept looking down at her phone to avoid having any contact with him, but she didn’t expect her actions would give him a chance for him to drive the car onto an overpass.
Before Ariel could realize what had happened, Maverick opened the door and got out of the car, leaving her with no choice but to follow him in getting out of the car.
Walking toward the railing, Maverick looked affectionately at the sea while Ariel stood very far behind him.
“Why did you bring me here?”
Maverick slanted his head to glance at her before turning around and pointing at the busiest commercial area on the other side of the sea. He said, “Look there. That’s the project I took on when we broke up.”
Ariel followed his finger and saw the brightly lit buildings standing tall in the distance. The scene reminded her of Maverick’s life—bright and brilliant.
