My Mommy's Brave Heart novel Chapter 7

“Grandmother, I came back to make a business deal with the Xavier family.”

Adina opened her bag and took out a set of documents.

She placed them on the table and said coolly, “I majored in computer science, and over the past few years, I did postgraduate studies in Harfard and developed a smart chip. It’s not sold in the market yet, and I’m currently searching for business partners. I hope that the Xavier Corporation may become one.”

“Hmph. Adina, aren’t you tooting your own horn? Why should we work with you just because you asked us?” Sophia pouted in disdain. “The Xaviers own one of the top ten corporations in Sea City, and plenty of companies want to work with us, but we don’t even spare them a glance! So why should you be any different?”

Mdm. Xavier was about to speak, but Richard interrupted her.

He took a step forward and said, “Mom, Adina is my niece, and I pity her too, but we can’t do business with her just because we pity her. Right now, Xavier Corporation is trying to enter the IoT market. It’s tough, and we can’t bend the rules just because Addy needs it.”

“We’ve already bought a copyright for a smart chip abroad and are about to enter the production stage. Why should we change our business partner just because of what you said?”

“Come on, Adina just wants to use this partnership to get money from Grandma. It’s obvious, isn’t it?”

“You’re supposed to be dead. Why did you come back here?”

“Grandma loves her a lot. Her name is definitely in the will…”

“She’s a Daugherty! Why should she have a share? And she even brought so much shame to us in the past…”

The family members didn’t shy away from sharing their opinions. They had always been fighting among themselves, but this time, they showed a rare sense of solidarity.

Mdm. Xavier had longed for her granddaughter to come back, and after four years, her granddaughter finally came back, but she had to face such animosity from her own family. Mdm. Xavier’s temper flared as she listened to it.

However, before Mdm. Xavier could say anything, a soft voice spoke up.

Alden was a quiet boy, but he would not just stand by and do nothing when his mother was attacked.

He took a step forward and looked at Richard. “Granduncle, did Xavier Corporation buy the rights for Ander Corporation’s MCP12?”

Richard frowned. “How did you know?”

“I also know that while that chip promises smooth operations, it’s not perfect and can’t receive many commands. However, if you use AMP1 and RIWE-34, it will improve the chip,” Alden stated coolly. “But if you want the company to get a slice of pie in the IoT market, you shouldn’t choose this chip.”
