Seeing him stop in his tracks, Gwenda continued her explanation, "Now's the best time, if I miss this..."
If she missed this chance, her father would hand over the company to Gretchen.
If she wanted to take back the company from Gretchen by then, it would be even harder for her to do so.
Therefore, she had to act fast.
"You want to get the company back?"
August snorted in disbelief, "With you and what army?"
"August, I know that you think I'm stupid and can only throw temper tantrums. But I'm really not joking around this time. Please trust me! Just this once."
Gwenda's face was filled with anxiety.
Grandma Suzanne gazed at her granddaughter before looking at August. "I don't think Gwenda is joking, August..."
"Granny, do you really trust her?"
August found it hard to believe. "Her brain must've been fried in the fire. How else would she say something like that? Have you forgotten how she protected the Evanses? With her temperament, she's definitely trying to swindle you of your shares and hand them over to her dad!"
...
Suzanne fell silent.
August's words were not unreasonable.
There were times where she reminded Gwenda not to trust her stepmother and stepsister too much.
But in the end, Gwenda always refused to listen.
Both even fell out with each other for a certain period of time.
Thus, Suzanne knew how much Gwenda trusted her stepmother and how much she cared about the Evanses.
"Gwenda..."
Suzanne was now a little hesitant.
Gwenda understood what she meant when she heard that. "Grandma, I've now seen the true colours of Pauline and Gretchen. I really want to take back the company from them! I promise! Also, I'll move out this time. Please trust me!"
