On the way back, the couple discussed what they should do first.
âItâs just a small matter,â Arielle uttered as her lips curved upward.
However, Susanne didnât believe her. Thereâs no way itâs a small matter since both of them return together.
Whatâs going on? Why am I feeling flustered?
Vinson realized the approach he and Arielle used on his mother seemed a bit too much for her to handle. Thus, he lazed on the couch and said plainly.
âMom, I just want to ask you about my half-brother. Whatâs the deal with him?â
âThatâs the thing you want to ask me about?â Susanne asked as she stared at her son.
He nodded, which made her angry.
Slapping his thigh, she exclaimed, âYou almost gave me a heart attack! I thought something bad has happened. Anyway, why are you asking about him again? Did he do something?â
âHe challenged me at the office in the morning because he wanted to be Nightshire Groupâs chairman.â
With a neutral tone, he explained, âTruthfully, it doesnât matter to me whoâs the chairman. After all, weâre both my fatherâs sons. Thereâs no difference in who gets the position. However, heâs a cruel man who had attempted to harm me multiple times. If I werenât as capable as I was, I probably wouldâve died in his hand by now.â
When Susanne heard the things Gaspar did to Vinson, the look in her eyes changed.
âHis mother was your fatherâs girlfriend. Back then, your grandfather opposed their relationship and introduced me to your father. I didnât know about that initiallyâ¦â
âAfter our marriage, he treated me very well, and we soon had you. After you were born, his ex-
girlfriend showed up. When I learned his story, I let him choose to stay with whoever he wanted without complaints. In the end, he chose me and gave her lots of moneyâ¦â
âBack then, I thought it wasnât easy for her to raise her child alone, so I offered to let her child stay with us. I promised her Iâll raise him as my own, but she refused. After that, she vanished from your fatherâs life with her child. Your fatherâs ex-girlfriend was a very prideful woman. I never thought she would raise her child to be a man like that.â
She then turned to Vinson. âMaybe you can invite him to a discussion? If he really wants the company, just give it to him. Itâs what we owe him.â
âWhat if he still tries to get rid of me after he obtained the company?â Vinson asked as he sat straight.
For a moment, Susanne didnât know what to say. She always felt that she owed Gaspar and his mother even though she didnât know they existed when she married Vinsonâs father.
âHow should we resolve this matter?â Feeling torn, she stared at her son.
She didnât want her son or Gaspar to be hurt. Frankly, Vinson really wanted to comply with the text messageâs request. After giving it some thought, he felt he should take his motherâs advice and have a chat with Gaspar.
However, the most important thing at the moment was Susanneâs brain tumor. He could deal with Gaspar later.
âMom, thereâs one more thing I need to talk to you aboutâ¦â
