Chapter 2242
Jaylene felt a bit perplexed. Darcie had been adamantly against it before, and the two had argued over
it countless times. Suddenly, a sense of relief washed over her, and Jaylene even wondered if she had
misheard.
After a while, she realized what had happened and eximed joyfully," Mom, are you really okay with
this?"
Darcie replied impatiently, "What''s the point in me opposing? Have you ever listened to me once? You
practically treat me like an enemy!"
"Mom, are you really not tricking me?" Jaylene asked again to confirm.
Darcie sighed, "What parent can outsmart their child in this world? Look at how tangled up you''ve
gotten over Keegan and still refuse to stop. What else can I do?"
Jaylene hugged Darcie, brimming with joy. "Mom, it was all my fault before. I just love Keegan too
much. You can rest assured that as long as you don''t oppose me loving Keegan, I''ll listen to you from
now on.''
Darcie gently patted her back, her eyes clear. "Don''t get too excited yet. Remember the conditions I
mentioned. Caline has consumed half of my lifetime efforts, something I''ve left for you. You need to
prove to me that you can maintain it. With this asset in your hands, no one will dare to underestimate
you in the future, no matter how your marriage turns out."
"I understand, Mom. I know you''re looking out for me. I won''t let you down," Jaylene replied.
She had disregarded her mother''s words so many times before, but now, using Keegan as bait, she
was willing to consider anything.
Darcie suppressed the frustration in her heart and said softly, "Do you remember the promises Ste
made when Sonia first joined thepany?"
Jaylene immediately recalled. At that time, her mother had opposed Sonia rkson joining the
company, and Ste had made promises on her behalf. If Sonia caused any trouble, Ste would
resign.
They were unable to openly confront her, but hadn''t she herself once said that if things went awry, she
would bear the responsibility?
Jaylene understood and nodded. "Mom, I know what to do."
Darcie patted her shoulder, her eyes full of determination. "The first stage of the National Perfume
Blending Competition selection is about to begin. A new recruit will be joining your team in a few days.
With her on board, this year''s championship is practically guaranteed. For thispetition, they will
invite several top figures in the industry as judges. Many people wille seeking opportunities, and
with a champion title, many business deals will naturally fall into ce. Seize this opportunity well and
don''t disappoint me."
Jaylene nodded, feeling more determined than ever before.

After Darcie finished persuading Jaylene, during a meal, Ste immediately posted another Twitter
update. It was two pictures of Patek Philippe watches, with the caption asking everyone, "Which one
should I choose?"
Carter Lowe asked below, "For Keegan''s birthday gift?"
Ste replied, "Help me pick."
Vermont Snydermented, "Buy a signature pen for five bucks at the supermarket and draw on his
hand. He doesn''t even remember you. What''s the point in wasting money?"
Carter replied, "The one on the right. When I went out with Keegan to discuss business before, he
mentioned this model. I think he likes it."
After a few minutes, Ste responded, "I asked, but this one''s out of stock. It''ll take seven days to
order. We don’t have the time. Do any of you have any connections?"
Vermont said, "Why didn''t you say so earlier? Where can I get it for you at this critical moment? Forget
it, I''ll ask around, but don''t get your hopes up too much."
Jaylene''s birthday gift for Keegan was also a watch, but it was far less luxurious than the one Ste
had chosen. They would definitely bepared when the same type of gift was presented. A watch
worth tens of thousands would certainly pale inparison to one worth millions.
Suddenly, she felt uneasy and immediately reached out to find out about the watch Ste had chosen.
