On the other hand, Cecilia hailed a cab and arrived at the Nightshire Manor early in the morningKnowing that the woman was coming, Susanne got up early and prepared baking ingredients.
For the sake of Vinson‘s collaboration in Horington, she decided to humble herself to please the Greenes, although Cecilia told her she needed not to prepare anything
It had been years since she last brown–nosed someone. Never had she thought she would grovel to the Greenes.
If I had known things were going to turn out this way, I would never have gotten in touch with the Greenes and brought about the engagement between Vinson and Wendy. The Greenes wouldn‘t have become so rapacious if I had not been adamant.
“It‘s all my fault. I‘ve opened the door and let the wolf in!”
Being involved in the entire incident, Geoffrey comforted the remorseful woman. “Back then, you knew nothing about the Greenes‘ greed and ambition. They were so easygoing at that time, but now the family is so overbearing, pretending to be thoughtful. One played the good cop while the other, the bad cop. Meanwhile, Ms. Greene acted all pitiful. If they had put their cards on the table, you would never have let Ms. Greene marry into our family.”
“Let her marry into the family?” Susanne snorted.
“Before the Greenes came, I had great hopes in Wendy. Because of the ruckus they caused, I‘ve made up my mind to ignore them right after Vin‘s collaboration is accomplished.”
During the Greenes‘ visit, I‘ve found out their true colors. Though Arielle is no match for Wendy, she is much more sensible and obedient. I just hope that her result will not be so bad that it brings me embarrassment. Otherwise, Cecilia will probably insinuate that I‘m wrong–headed and have mistaken a fool for a genius.
Susanne was filled with remorse that she promised the Greenes to go to Jadeborough University when it struck her that Arielle might get a terribly low score.
