    Chapter 1527


    Dawn was just breaking when Jacqueline’s phone call came through again, “Steven, the office is


    closed for the holidays. Why don’t you fly over and spend Christmas with us?”


    Steven remained silent upon hearing this.


    Jacqueline’s slightly anxious voice came again, “Son, why aren’t you saying anything? Is something


    wrong?”


    Steven exhaled a heavy sigh, then finally spoke, “Mom, I’lle to New Zend to see you and Kenny


    after Christmas.”


    “Spending the holidays alone can be pretty lonely, you know. If you think it’s boring with me and your


    dad, you coulde over and meet some girls. Our neighbor’s daughter is quite a stunner. I think you


    two could hit it off.” Jacqueline suggested.


    Jacqueline never worried about Steven’s work. Whenever they spoke, she would always bring up his


    love life. Steven had told her countless times that the only woman he wanted was Hannah, But it


    seemed like Jacqueline couldn’t understand him. Time and again, she tried to persuade him to


    consider other girls. She would always tell him, “Steven, when you first step into a strange forest and


    your eyes are immediately drawn to a big tree in front of you, you might think that it’s the best tree in


    the world. But if you venture further and look at the other trees, you might realize that the tree you


    initially thought was great is actually quite ordinary.”


    In the past, Steven would get annoyed, feeling that she didn’t understand him. Everything changed


    when he unintentionally overheard a conversation between his mother and father.e2


    That day was the second day after Kenny had been unconscious for more than ten days. Jacqueline’s


    worry hadn’t subsided, “Kenny, you can’t scare me like this again.”


    “Without me, you’ll still have our son. Don’t be afraid.” Keh reassured her.


    Jacqueline shot him a re, “What are you talking about? You’re you, and our son is our son. You both


    are the most important people in my life. I can’t lose either of you.”


    “Life is precious precisely because it’s not eternal. We all have to leave this world; it’s just a matter of


    time.” Keh stated matter-of-factly


    “I know we’re all going to leave. That’s why I want to find a soulmate for Steven. When we’re gone,


    someone will still be there to apany him, to love him and understand him. Then he won’t be


    lonely.” Jacqueline murmured dejectedly.


    “The Szar girl is definitely not suitable. The Szars spoiled her rotten. She’s done too many bad


    things and will eventually face retribution.” Keh agreed.


    “You knew that the Szar girl was not suitable, then why did you still want Steven to marry her?”


    Jacqueline asked incredulously.


    “I was set up by the Szars back then, which led to the majority of the board of directors being


    dissatisfied with me. They all wanted to rece me, especially my siblings. They were all eyeing my


    position greedily. I insisted on promoting Steven to my position, but both the board and our family


    members disagreed. Steven was still too young and inexperienced, so I had to use the Szars to


    stabilize his position in the corporation.” Keh exined.


    “You don’t trust your son’s abilities.” Jacqueline asserted.N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    “Of course I trust my own son’s abilities. But back then, he was still young, and no match for those old


    foxes. However, it turns out I was overly worried. Steven soon, managed to establish himself in the


    corporation on his own and kept the Szar girl at arm’s length. I was very relieved.” Keh


    admitted.


    “So why did you remove the staff Steven arranged to protect Hannah, allowing Dani’s scheme to


    seed?” Jacqueline questioned.


    “If I told you that the staff Steven arranged weren’t actually reassigned by me, would you believe me?”


    Keh asked.


    “You didn’t reassign them? Then what on earth happened?” Jacqueline asked, looking puzzled.
