“I had something to handle last night, so I…”
“I think you just don’t want to come back. Stop coming up with excuses. Mark is very angry. Yvonne, you listen well: you will resolve this matter properly. Do you hear me?” Mom roared from the other end of the line.
If I’m standing in front of her now, not only would she yell at me but she might even hit me. The words that I told her yesterday—did they have any effect at all? She just doesn’t care; that’s why she is acting like this now. I can’t take this! I have said everything I wanted to say, yet nothing has changed. Mom, is it so hard for you to love me a little more? Can you not make me sad because of the people around you?
I didn’t manage to speak out the words in my mind.
“I will find Dad and explain to him myself. Mom, you ask me to calm down but I think you should calm down, too. We both need some time to cool off, so we should stop meeting for the time being. It hurts our bond if you threaten our relationship every time we talk, so don’t talk like that again, okay?”
“Fine. Mark was furious last night. He didn’t even finish his meal at home. He even instructed people to take away all my authority at Goldstein Corporation. After you see Mark, ask him to restore all that he has stripped away and ask him to make me the Goldstein Corporation representative in Kenfort. Do you understand?” Isabelle said plainly.
“Got it. The Kenfort representative. I will ask Dad about it.” I lowered my gaze. So, she is mad because her interests are affected. Does she always place her own interests above me?
“Good that you know that! You are at the mansion, right? I will get someone to bring some tasty lunch over to you. You will take them to Mark’s office and settle the matter.”
Before Mom could hang up, I couldn’t help but ask, “Mom, don’t you have anything else to say to me?”
