In the simply elegant president’s office.
Justin Kingston sat at the desk, analyzing a set of data on the computer.
His features were perfectly rugged, as if cast in steel, yet with a softness beneath the firmness, possessing a striking beauty.
He was completely unbothered by Monica Usher’s antics, his mood unaffected.
He just missed his wife and kids a little when idle.
In this jewelry battle, he was certain he would win.
Clearwater Bay, the retro villa was imposing and exquisite.
"Wow!! Grandma! Did you give this to us?"
Kristina Kingston took the children behind the villa, where a large newly constructed playground appeared before them, sparking the children’s high interest and delight!
"We can even ski!! Brother, look!! There’s a ski slope over there!" Dolly jumped up excitedly.
Seeing the children’s happiness, Kristina Kingston finally relaxed, relieved that they liked it.
"Grandma." Dolly held her hand, looking up to ask, "Did it take a long time to build such a big playground?"
"Of course it did." Kristina Kingston squatted in front of the children, lovingly holding her shoulders, "But as long as you all like it and come often to play, grandma thinks it’s all worth it!"
"Thank you, Grandma!" Gigi’s sweet voice chimed, "Long live Grandma!"
Kristina Kingston embraced the children happily, then after a while spoke to Mary beside her, "Accompany them here to play, keep an eye on safety."
Then Kristina Kingston stood up, watched Mary take the children’s hands and lead them into the playground.
She sighed softly, turned back into the yard.
The driver opened the car door, and she got in and left.
On the way, Kristina Kingston sent a WeChat message from her phone, soon receiving a reply.
About twenty minutes later, the car stopped outside a café.
Kristina Kingston got out, walked inside, and as she reached the entrance, spotted Monica Usher sitting not far away.
Monica Usher was prepared to face her.
"Aunt." Originally she called her mom, now she had changed her tune, Monica Usher’s face was calm, concealing her inner turmoil.
Kristina Kingston took a seat across from her, her expression stern. This content belongs to novel~fire~net
Last night, she saw on the news that Monica Usher had joined R-Alan Group and launched the true love series.
Kristina Kingston was sleepless all night.
"Monica Usher, do you know what you’re doing?" Kristina Kingston’s eyes were slightly cold, her tone harsh.
"..." Meeting her gaze, Monica Usher did not answer, but it was the first time hearing such a tone.
Kristina Kingston continued, "The true love series is a project of Kingston Group, and you actually brought it to R-Alan, are you really happy?"
"Justin Kingston gave up on me." She opened her lips lightly, her tone faintly helpless, "It’s not that I had to leave."
As soon as she finished speaking, Monica Usher took out a bank card from her bag and handed it to her, "Aunt, there’s some money here, the funding you provided me from childhood until now, I’ve never calculated it bit by bit, but... please accept it first, enough to balance your heart somewhat."
Kristina Kingston was shocked, was she buying off the relationship?
"This life, there’s no chance of becoming your daughter-in-law, I think... it’s also impossible to become friends." Monica Usher stood up, her tone indifferent, "The coffee is already paid for, let’s owe each other nothing from now on."
Watching her turn away, Kristina Kingston trembled with anger, her fingers clenched tightly into a fist!
This kind of Monica Usher made her feel incredibly unfamiliar!
And Monica Usher, upon leaving the café, had tears slightly blur her vision.
She opened the car door, sat in the driver’s seat, turned her eyes toward the window, looking at the middle-aged woman sitting by the window in the café, a surge of bitterness flooded her heart.
Having come to this point today, she could not turn back.
