Chapter 26 Is She That Afraid of Me?
Aletta was slightly stunned and felt unbelievable. How could it be? How could he miss the chance to use Gail as a model? She still couldn’t believe it.
Eaton saw that Aletta seemed to refuse to talk, so he quickly persuaded her, “Miss Aletta, your company has just entered the domestic market, and you may not be very clear about the situation here. Although The Wolff can provide the same conditions, they have no channel for top connection. The current top connection in the country has been monopolized by the Hills Group.”
After Aletta listened to Eaton’s words, she couldn’t say what she originally refused. She really didn’t expect this to be the case in Canada. ZL Company’s perfume R&D mainly relied on local high-end fragrances. If not, they had to buy it from abroad and it would undoubtedly increase the cost.
Aletta suddenly hesitated. She seemed to refuse Jason’s offer because of selfishness. However, The Wolff would disturb Ms. Smith’s interests. In fact, the company did not belong to her alone. Compared to The Wolffs, cooperating with The Hills was indeed a better choice.
Eaton naturally noticed her hesitation, and immediately made persistent efforts, “Miss Aletta, what I said just now is completely true. If you don’t believe me, you can ask someone to inquire about it. Even The Wolff’s fragrances are purchased from The Hills.”
Eaton’s objection to coming there had also been achieved. The man made a final summary, “You can discuss it in advance with Mr. Smith and Ms. Gail. We will wait for the good news.’
Eaton was directly permitted to leave after he finished his line. As soon as he left, Aletta stopped acting and leaned on the sofa a little restlessly. The woman hardly thought about the man’s offer.
Didn’t it clear that ZL Company should cooperate with The Hills? If she knew it would be so difficult after returning to Canada, she shouldn’t have set up a branch in Canada in the first place.
Aletta was troubled until she got off work. In the evening, she was going to the hospital. Flora’s mother’s condition couldn’t be delayed any longer. Her operation would be finalized by that evening.
After packing up her things, she went downstairs. Unexpectedly, after she was just walking out of the company, she heard a familiar and slightly sharp voice.
“Aletta, is that really you?!”
Aletta looked over by reflex. She found someone she did not expect to come. It was her biological mother – Bonnie!
She really did not expect that the old woman would appear
there. After all, they hadn’t contacted each other for six years. What was she supposed to do when her mom came all of a sudden?
Aletta frowned and her intuition told her that nothing good would happen. She didn’t want to pay attention to it, but Bonnie quickly rushed to her and looked her up and down. Bonnie was surprised when she saw the change in her daughter.
The woman thought she had identified the wrong person, but she didn’t expect that the change would be so big. Bonnie was startled for a long time and finally calmed down. She immediately said, “I called you. Didn’t you hear me?”
Aletta looked at her indifferently and asked, “Why are you here?”
Bonnie frowned when she heard her tone, “I heard from Gail that you have returned to Canada. I thought it was a lie, but I didn’t expect it to be true.”
When Aletta heard the name, she immediately thought of the disgust in this lady’s eyes when she looked at her a few years ago. After so many years, she still hadn’t changed at all.
“Why? Is there something wrong?” Aletta’s attitude was not very good either. She looked at her as if she was looking at a stranger.
Bonnie immediately felt a little dissatisfied. She walked up to her and scolded, “Watch your attitude! I’m your real mother after all. Can’t you say hello to me after a long time?”
Aletta sneered, “I don’t remember when did I have a mother. Isn’t your daughter Gail?”
Bonnie was choked and her face became stiff. However, it didn’t take long before she replied with a sullen face, “Yeah, she’s indeed my daughter.”
Aletta’s face became even colder, and there was no trace of warmth in her eyes when she looked at Bonnie, “Then what? Did you make a special trip here just to tell me about it? It’s absolutely unnecessary because I knew it six years ago.”
Aletta didn’t want to hear what Bonnie had to say, só she raised her leg and was about to leave. Seeing this, Bonnie became out of anger for no reason and directly stopped in front of Aletta, “Stop!”
Aletta looked at her impatiently, “What on earth are you going to do? Put your farts away. I’m swamped and I don’t have time to deal with you.”
Bonnie was mad, but she also felt that it was a waste of time to say a few more words with Aletta, so she cut straight to the point and said, “Fine, I came today because I heard Gail say that you appeared at The Wolff’s banquet, and even met Jason.”
She didn’t wait for Aletta to reply, her tone became sharper, “I want to warn you, Hill’s lady now is Gail. She ain’t like you. You’d better be more sensible and stay away from them. Don’t do something
embarrassing!”
Aletta’s eyes were piercingly cold. It had been six years and she really didn’t expect Bonnie to come to her door just to say this.
Aletta felt a bit ridiculous, so she couldn’t help raising the corners of her mouth and asked sarcastically, “May I ask which eye of yours saw me climbing up to Jason? Or did your precious daughter Gail tell you that she’s so afraid of me?”
Bonnie was stunned as if she didn’t expect Alétta to be so arrogant and dared to talk back to her. When she came back. to her senses, it was just a touch of sarcasm that came out, “Are you kidding me? Why is she afraid of you? Gail doesn’t know how many times she’s better than you. Why don’t you find a mirror and look at yourself?”
Aletta was not angry because of Bonnie’s words and rather asked her, “If this is the case, then why did you come here to warn me?”
Bonnie had choked again. Her mouth moved for a long time, and finally, she could only say, “Of course, I don’t want you to destroy Gail’s happiness. If it’s not you, you think I’ll come here to meet you?!” This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Aletta’s eyes were covered with a layer of ice. She stared at Bonnie coldly, “First of all, I also want you to clarify one thing. It is Gail who has taken over my identity and refused to leave the Rogers Family.”
“Second, the marriage contract with Jason back then was originally mine. It was made by Grandpa and Mr. Donovan. I have never grabbed anything from her. Third, I haven’t had enough time yet to destroy the happiness of an unimportant person, not to mention Gail. She’s not that worthy of wasting my time.”
“And for the last, I have nothing to do with you. From now on, don’t ever appear in front of me. Who are you? How dare you come and shout in front of me.”
