After all, a biological child could still be controlled through blood ties.If it were someone else’s child, she would gain nothing at all.So why push things to the point where both sides ended up destroyed?“Aurora, I’m your mother. Of course I know that if I really did that, it wouldn’t do you any good. And how could I possibly bear to hurt you?”The mockery in Aurora’s eyes almost surfaced.But she said nothing, only giving a quiet “Mm,” signaling for Grace to continue.Sometimes, the higher she let someone climb, the harder they fall.“So, since your studio can’t continue operating anymore, I truly feel sorry about it. I’m your mother, so naturally I have to think about finding you a bigger platform.”“And what exactly do you mean by that?”Aurora followed along with her words.The moment Grace heard Aurora’s tone, she immediately thought there was hope, and her mood brightened at once.“What I mean is simple. I want you to train yourself on a bigger platform. But I don’t trust ot

Aurora quietly moved the phone farther away from her ear.Even though she said nothing, her expression grew colder and colder.She knew it all along. In Grace’s eyes, she was nothing more than a chess piece.The moment she lost her value, Grace would throw her away without the slightest hesitation.Aurora’s gaze gradually turned icy.She already knew that staying by Grace’s side would only ever lead to this kind of ending.She had never expected any motherly love from Grace. As long as Grace stopped causing trouble for her, that was already enough.“Are you telling the truth?”Grace still sounded uneasy.In her mind, Aurora had always been exceptionally capable. How could her abilities suddenly decline?And now Grace had finally realized just how important Aurora was to Walton Corporation. There was no way she could casually let such a valuable asset go.But Aurora was saying her abilities had declined.What was she supposed to do now?For a moment, Grace did not know what to say.“Why

But things were different now. Since Tessa had already gone through prison once, Grace believed she would finally understand the seriousness of her mistakes.Besides, Tessa grew up by her side all these years. Between the two of them, they were the ones truly close as mother and daughter.And on top of that, Tessa’s health was not particularly good either. The thought of her staying in prison worried Grace deep down.At the end of the day, Tessa was still the child she had personally raised. In Grace’s eyes, a small punishment and a lesson learned should have been enough.Truthfully, she could not bear to let Tessa continue suffering in prison.“Are you serious?”Aurora did not even know how much strength it took for her to force those words out.She always thought that even if Grace did not love her, at the very least, she was still someone who understood right from wrong.But even after Tessa had committed something this serious, Grace still treated it like nothing and was even tryin

Tessa stealing Aurora’s place in the family was one thing, but now she had completely failed to recognize her own position and only kept wanting more and more.How could Aurora possibly tolerate that?There was no way she would stand by and watch Tessa swallow Walton Corporation whole.In one regard, Grace was right—Walton Corporation was still her father’s life’s work.That fact could never be changed.Even if the shareholders all had their own agendas, if Aurora truly wanted to suppress them within the company, it would not have been difficult for her at all.But with Grace standing in the middle of everything, Aurora no longer wanted to do any of it just to benefit her.In Aurora’s eyes, Grace was nothing more than a selfish opportunist.Now that she had hung up the call, even the silence around her suddenly felt cleaner.…But on the other end of the line, Grace stared at the darkened phone screen, fury exploding through her instantly.She hurled the phone onto the floor. With a lo

But ever since Tessa was sent to prison, Grace felt as though life had lost its meaning.People came and went around her, yet no one ever truly stayed by her side.Even her own biological daughter always treated her like an outsider.Aurora was already pregnant, yet she had never even thought of telling her.And now, even asking her to return to Walton Corporation seemed to feel like forcing her.Grace clenched her fists tightly, the emotions in her eyes flickering unpredictably.She felt as though she was no longer herself anymore.But she could not find a way to change.Looking at Arnold like this left an uncomfortable feeling in Grace’s heart too.In the end, she still walked over to Arnold’s door and knocked softly.“Arnold, from now on, just continue as normal. This house still needs you to take care of it.”Grace fell silent for a moment before speaking slowly. “What I said earlier was indeed too harsh. But one thing I can say for certain now is that this house can’t function wit
