Chapter 1967 All Grown Up
With her dreamy eyes, Natalie stared at Sasha. “Nat, I want to let you know that Matt has gone back to school. Nevertheless, he has left you a note saying that once you get full marks in your exams, he will give you a video call.”
Sasha then handed Natalie the note. Just as expected, Natalie’s face lost all color at the news until she saw what was written on the note.
Matteo: Remember to work hard in school, as I, too, have gone back to class. Hence, both of us should do our best together. The message ended with a smiley face at the bottom.
After folding the note back meticulously, she tucked it underneath her pillow. Even though Sasha was relieved by Natalie’s response, a bitter sensation still burned in her eye.
All she could hope for was for time to heal all. With that, life at Oceanic Estate fell back into a lull. It wasn’t until the triplets graduated that their home was bustling with activity again. Back at Atlantius, the exams were right around the corner.
While everyone was having a meal in the apartment, Vivian suddenly asked, “Ian, are you going back after graduation? I heard Uncle Solomon mention that Hayes Corporation is gradually increasing its investments in Southeast Astoria. Therefore, is he planning to send you there?”
Truth be told, Ian was responsible for the expansion of the company not just in Southeast Astoria but also Chanaea.
After all, Southeast Astoria was a region filled with business potential. Ever since the Tilans collapsed three years ago, Hayes Corporation, in its capacity as the largest business empire in Astoria, officially established its footprint in the region.
Since it was a matter of time before Ian was sent over, he admitted with a nod, “Mmm-hmm. Daddy, too, hopes for the same. Other than Hayes Corporation, Eternal Group under the Jadeson will also be there.”
Vivian and Kurt were speechless.
Other than Susan, everyone in the house, including Lotus the dog, was speechless by his answer.
At the end of the day, Sebastian had created a business entity on behalf of the Jadesons, and that company was called Eternal Group. Nonetheless, it kept a low profile and never stole the limelight from Hayes Corporation.
Ian laughed awkwardly.
Kurt, turning his attention to the girl sitting beside him, suddenly asked, “In that case, do you want to go? If Eternal Group is established there, you can be by your brother’s side, while your production company will also benefit significantly.”
In truth, now that she was twenty-three and had graduated, she was more of a woman than a girl.
However, no sooner had he finished than Vivian widened her glistening eyes to glare at him.
“Are you trying to get rid of me?”
Kurt was rendered speechless.
“Are you planning to go to Gronga? I’m well aware that the top construction company there, PCT Development, has sent you an offer. Are you annoyed that I’m standing in your way? Is that why you’re trying to get rid of me?”
When the living room plunged into a deathly silence, Ian and Susan tactfully put down their cutlery.
