Chapter 1967


    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 ss. 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 Antius, 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 nning to send you there?”


    Truth be told, Ian was responsible for the expansion of thepany not just in Southeast Astoria but


    also Chanaea.


    After all, Southeast Astoria was a region filled with business potential. Ever since the Tns copsed


    three years ago, Hayes Corporation, in its capacity as thergest 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. Nheless, it kept a low profile and never stole the limelight from


    Hayes Corporation.


    Ianughed 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 re at him.


    “Are you trying to get rid of me?”


    Kurt was rendered speechless.


    “Are you nning to go to Gronga? I’m well aware that the top constructionpany 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.


    After that, they grabbed a dog leash and a packet of dog treats respectively before taking Lotus for a


    walk.


    Given how terrifying it was whenever a woman was throwing a tantrum, both of them offered Kurt their


    condolences in their hearts.


    Upon reaching the ground floor, Ian was startled by the sound of something smashing onto the ground


    from upstairs.


    Susan asked, “Are you sure we don’t need to talk to them? We might have to buy a whole new set of


    tes as a result.”


    “Why should we? It’s not like we’re going to continue staying there. Come on, let’s get Lotus’


    documents in order. Otherwise, we might not be able to take it with us.”


    “Sure.”


    Susan’s lips curled underneath the dim yellow light of the streetmp.


    After fastening the leash on Lotus, she, with Ian holding her hand, led the dog as both of them strolled


    around their neighborhood.


    Back in the apartment, Kurt was feeling aggrieved, as he never had the intention of going to PCT


    Development. That aside, what baffled him the most was Vivian’s increasingly irritable temperament.


    When Kurt woke up the next morning, he noticed a swelling on the corner of his eye, which was the


    result of a cut from one of yesterday’s broken shards.


    Just when he was about to head into the bathroom to deal with it so as to avoid any curious questions,


    he heard a knock on the door.


    “Come in,” he answered in delight, thinking that it was Vivian.


    In the end, the one who walked in when he opened the door was his sharply dressed brother-inw.

    “What are you…”


    “We’re about to leave. What happened to your eye?” Ian, who hade by to bid farewell, was briefly


    stunned by the bruise on Kurt’s face.


    “Did she really hit you?”


    “No, I cut myself from a stray piece of ss. Why are you leaving so quickly? Aren’t you still waiting for


    your certificate?”


    “Uncle Solomon called to inform me that there has been some trouble. Since the person in charge has


    failed to quell it, and he’s unable to leave, he decided to send me instead,” Ian exined briefly.


    Obviously, there was aplicated look in his eye as he stared at the wound on Kurt’s face.


    “I’ve noticed that she’s been out of sortstely. What happened to the both of you?” he asked with a


    grim look on his face.


    Kurt said nothing, as there was fundamentally no problem at all. It was just that Vivian had reached the


    stage where she was forced to make a choice between her rtionship and career.
