With that, both men quickly locked the bedroom door and leaped out of the window.
Unfortunately, Daniel was not as agile as his subordinate. The heavy fall caused him to sprain his waist.
“Mr. Greene!” His subordinate scurried over to help him as the duo stumbled to the road and hailed a taxi.
Once they entered the car, Daniel finally remembered about Cecilia and Wendy.
With lightning speed, Daniel dialed Cecilia's number.
Back at Jadeborough University, the charity auction was drawing to an end. Right now, the buyers were heading backstage to pay for their bids.
Since all attendees were required to put their phones on silent mode throughout the auction, Cecilia missed Daniel's
urgent call.
Deep down, Cecilia was resentful of the sculpture that she had bid. Even so, she could not go back on her word because doing so would humiliate Wendy.
Left with no choice, Cecilia headed backstage to pay for the sculpture, with Wendy tagging along.
Along the way, Wendy could not help but ask, “Mom, has Mrs. Nightshire changed her mind?”
Immediately, a dark look loomed across Cecilia's face. “Despite our best efforts, she remains as stubborn as ever. When I return, I'm going to have a chat with your dad. He’ll teach the Nightshires a lesson!”
“What?” Wendy was aghast by Cecilia's words. “It's fine if you threaten her, but you shouldn't actually take action! If you do so, Mrs. Nightshire will make my life a living hell once I marry Vinson.”
“Relax, I'll buy a mansion in Jadeborough for the two of you. This way, you don't have to see Susanne on a daily basis. You won't be pestered by her, too. Besides, what can she do? As time passes, she will simply forget about this incident.”
Despite Cecilia's response, Wendy was still unconvinced that this was the best way to deal with Susanne.
However, she recalled the times when Arielle had repeatedly put her to shame. Susanne only had eyes for Arielle now.
Aside from brute force, there would be no other way to convince Susanne.
