Chapter 988


    Chapter 988 ck Rose


    My little kitten is far more interesting than I thought. If she were to continue to outbid that woman, she


    would merely appear to be a child throwing a tantrum. However, the sudden twist makes her seem


    more like a deadly ck rose. Mmm, I dig girls like that.


    Fuming, Cecilia raged under her breath, “That wretch! She did that on purpose!”


    “Susanne,” she said, turning to address the woman beside her. “Did you see that? She’s a devious


    one, that girl. Do you think that she’s the type of woman your son ought to be marrying? I’m afraid that


    she would rain chaos and disorder onto your family in the future!”


    As she had lost face, Cecilia attempted ast-ditch effort by painting Arielle in a negative light.


    Unexpectedly, Susanne merely smiled. “I think that she’s a rather intelligent girl. I see potential in her,”


    she remarked, clearly impressed.


    Cecilia scowled. “Susanne, listen to yourself!”


    Susanne did not take the outburst kindly. “I am perfectly aware of what I am saying. How about you?


    Perhaps I have been overly lenient to you over the past couple of days, and that gave you the


    impression that you could somehow walk all over me.”


    Cecilia flinched as though Susanne had flung a ss of water over her face. With a supreme effort, she


    regained herposure. “Of course that’s not what I meant, Susanne. As parents, we would want our


    children to marry out of love, right? Even if they don’t, we should at least consider fostering a marriage


    for the purposes of an alliance. Is that wrong?”


    “Hah!” Susanne cackled mirthlessly. “Are you saying that you want a marriage for your benefit? I’m


    afraid that you Greenes are not worthy to be matched with us.”


    “You…” Cecilia choked as her capacity to grovel finally wore out. “Without the alliance of the Greenes, I


    can guarantee that Nightshire Group will never be able toplete the project in Zaprington. I suggest


    you give it a long, hard consideration, Susanne.”


    Susanne nced at the screen on her phone. It’s exactly seven.


    “I’ve thought about it,” she replied, her eyebrows raised. “It’s a t no.”


    Cecilia fumed, “You’ve made a permanent enemy out of me! You will receive word that your project will


    not be allowed to proceed first thing tomorrow!”


    Susanne nced toward the stage nonchntly andmented airily, “The second item up for auction


    is tickets to a concert. Though I thought it’d be prudent to remind you that those are definitely not worth


    fifteen million. Bid responsibly, will you?”


    Cecilia was about to explode.

    “Susanne, don’t you regret choosing a country bumpkin over Wendy! You’ll have toe crawling back


    if you change your mind!”


    “Right back at you, Cecilia,” answered Susanne coolly. “When the timees, try not to cry too hard


    when you’re on your knees before me.”


    Cecilia froze. “What do you mean by that?”


    “It’s seven o’clock now,” Susanne replied enigmatically.


    Cecilia was thoroughly confused. A sense of dread that came out of nowhere began to suffocate her.


    The only thing she could do was suppress her difort and await the conclusion of the charity


    auction.


    As soon as I make the payment for that sculpture, I’ll call Daniel to have him put pressure on Nightshire


    Group’s branch office in Horington!


    At that moment, various media tforms on the inte simultaneously revealed a piece of breaking


    news, to Wendy and Cecilia’s ignorance.
