Chapter 327

작가: Hello Spring
Michael turned to Riley with a smile. “Ms. Henderson, you are right. I did not discipline my daughter properly. I apologize for what she said just now, and I hope you will not hold it against her.”

Riley gave a polite nod. “Mr. Smith, do not worry. I did not take it to heart. There are indeed some unresolved issues in our cooperation with Smith Corporation, but they have nothing to do with Ms. Smith. I hope you will not misunderstand.”

Michael quickly nodded. “Of course, I understand.”

He glanced at Liz, who was standing behind William, and said coldly, “Ms. Henderson is gracious enough not to hold it against you. Shouldn’t you apologize to her?”

Liz’s expression stayed indifferent. “I already said I will not apologize to her, and Smith Corporation will no longer work with her.”

“Ms. Henderson, do not listen to her nonsense. It is not her place to make decisions for Smith Corporation.”

After being provoked several times by Liz, even with William standing there, Riley’s expression

    Mrs. Smith Sr. looked unconcerned, while Michael’s brow furrowed so hard it looked like it might get stuck.“Mom, do you even understand how important this partnership with Henderson Corporation is for Smith Corporation?” he demanded. “If we lose this deal, the other three families will leave us in the dust.”Mrs. Smith Sr. was blunt. “Smith Corporation has already been left in the dust. Losing this deal just means you fall a little further. Big deal.”Michael began pacing, restless and anxious. “Mom, don’t forget—you hold the largest share in the company.”“I know that,” she said coolly. “But maybe you’re the one who’s confused. Do you even remember which of them is your real daughter, Liz or Mandy?”Michael froze, his voice rising with anger. “Do you think I don’t want a good relationship with Liz? You’ve seen it yourself. Mandy is more sensible and more capable than Liz. At least Mandy doesn’t constantly go against me and Kimberly. Anyone would prefer the child who listens and

    “You are right when you put it that way. Still, I did not expect you to reach the general manager of Henderson Corporation’s head office and actually secure this contract. Liz, when do you plan to come back and take over the company?”Meeting Mrs. Smith Sr.’s hopeful gaze, Liz felt a pang of guilt.“Grandma, I just got lucky this time. It was a fluke. Besides, I still want to practice law for a few more years.”After a moment of silence, Mrs. Smith Sr. said, “You are twenty-six now. How about coming back when you turn thirty to take over Smith Corporation? That gives me another four years to manage things, as long as my health holds out.”This time, Liz did not refuse.“Okay,” she said softly.As they spoke, the chamomile tea finished brewing. Mrs. Smith Sr. poured a cup for her and smiled. “Try this. Tell me how it tastes.”Liz lifted the cup and inhaled. A gentle, soothing aroma drifted up, warm and calming. “It smells wonderful.”She blew lightly across the surface and took

    “Dad, if you do this, won’t Grandma think we are deliberately targeting Liz?” Mandy asked.Michael gave a cold snort. “If she hadn’t offended Ms. Henderson and then refused to apologize, our deal with Henderson Corporation wouldn’t be stalled right now. I want to see what matters more to your grandmother, an ungrateful granddaughter or the company.”Mandy lowered her gaze and stayed quiet. She had already said what needed to be said. Whatever Michael chose to do was his decision, and no one could blame her for it.After leaving his office, she slipped into a quiet corner and dialed Riley’s number.“Ms. Henderson, right now everyone at Smith Corporation is furious with Liz for offending you. You’ve achieved your goal. About the cooperation…”Riley gave a soft laugh, her tone calm but cutting. “Didn’t Liz just say the Smith Corporation wouldn’t be working with me anymore?”Catching the edge in her voice, Mandy hurried to explain. “Ms. Henderson, Liz isn’t even an employee of Smith

    “That was just in the heat of the moment. It’s not the same as you actually agreeing,” William said.Liz teased him. “And what is the difference? You looked pretty comfortable saying it just now.”“That was pretend. This is real.”After a moment of silence, he lowered his head to meet her eyes and said slowly, “Can I hug you?”Liz’s lips curved into a smile. She opened her arms and wrapped them around him. “Of course you can. From now on, you don’t need to ask. That is a boyfriend’s privilege.”The faint scent of gardenia clung to him as William held her close. For once, his restless heart felt at peace.They had only been in each other’s arms for a short while when Liz’s stomach growled loudly. She suddenly remembered she had not eaten breakfast that morning because of Xena and Zac.“Hungry?” he asked.She nodded. “What about you? Did you have lunch yet?”“Not yet. What do you feel like eating? I can cook something.”Liz stepped back, her eyes landing on the bandages still w

    Liz kept glancing around but refused to look at him.“I am not a mind reader. How should I know?” she snapped.A flush crept up her neck, and William’s smile deepened, though he chose not to tease her further.“All right then. How did your trip to Halston go?”The mention of Halston reminded Liz of something she had been meaning to ask.“Oh, by the way, why did you have Hunter go with me to Halston? And why didn’t you tell me?” she asked.“Because I was injured and couldn’t go myself, so I had him go in my place,” William explained.Liz was left speechless. She was not a child anymore.When she stayed quiet, William raised an eyebrow. “Are you angry because I made the decision without asking you?”Liz shook her head. “No.”“Then why are you so quiet?” he pressed.She lifted her eyes to his. “Actually, while I was in Halston, I ran into Hunter’s mom.”William looked slightly surprised that she brought it up, even though he already had a general idea of what she had done in H
