Regarding the mother’s continuous reprimands, Mabel Quinn, although long accustomed, still felt a twinge of pain in her heart. She had always known that her mother did not like her. If she ever had a disagreement with someone, her mother would often blame her, regardless of right or wrong.
In her mother’s eyes, there was only her big brother. And now, all her mother longed for was to one day be accepted by the main Quinn Family, so that her brother could also gain a share in the main Quinn Family’s wealth.
The second concubine of the Quinn Family was Lyra Grant’s aunt, so Evelina naturally wanted to please her. As soon as she received a phone call with a hint of blame from the other party, Evelina immediately called to harshly scold her daughter.
"Are you trying to ruin your brother’s future? It’s difficult enough for him to get into a large Corporation now. If he does well, maybe in the future, the main family will give him some businesses to manage. You offending Miss Grant is just like offending the main family. If you ruin your brother’s future, don’t expect me to recognize you as my daughter!" Evelina said furiously.
"Mom, Lyra Grant can’t decide for the Quinn Family. Whether the Quinn Family wants to give my brother a chance isn’t up to Lyra Grant or her aunt." If Lyra Grant’s aunt really had such influence, she wouldn’t still be just a second concubine even after having a son and a daughter, without an official status.
"In any case, hurry up and apologize to Miss Grant, so she’ll calm down and I can have some peace of mind!" said Evelina, and she hung up the phone.
Mabel looked at her phone and glanced over as Lyra Grant walked out of the office, throwing her a contemptuous, mocking smile. At that moment, Mabel felt a surge of anger, wanting to call Kyle Kinston and ask him to punish Lyra Grant! But then, Mabel sighed inwardly; she had unknowingly begun to yearn for Kyle Kinston as her "backer".
Even if Kyle could give her temporary power, could he truly grant her lasting power?
"Why the long face?" Lyra Grant approached, somewhat gloating.
Mabel replied indifferently, "My mom just called saying Miss Grant felt wronged by me, asking me to apologize to you. I’m really sorry for making you feel wronged here, Miss Grant. I’ll definitely pay more attention next time so you won’t feel so wronged here."
Lyra Grant’s smile faded. Though the apology was given, it sounded awkward, as if she was a pushover in front of Mabel.
She wanted to say something more, but Mabel had already stepped into the office, returning to her seat, leaving Lyra Grant to stomp her foot in frustration.
In the past few days, the news of Kyle Kinston buying ginger tea in a supermarket, which was posted online, has spread in his newly acquired company. However, out of respect for Kyle’s status, people did not dare to discuss it openly, only in private. Many were curious about whom Kyle was buying the ginger tea for.
Of course, no one dared to ask Kyle this question, but that didn’t mean no one asked Caleb.
In the last few days, Caleb had been dealing with wave after wave of inquiries. From high-level executives down to various female employees in the company, even the lady serving food in the company cafeteria couldn’t help but curiously ask him, "Does Mr. Kinston have a girlfriend? Otherwise, why suddenly buy that ginger tea?"
