The next morning, after breakfast, Lucas sent Amelia to the kindergarten before sending Cheyenne to work at the Brilliance Corporation as usual.
But when the black Jaguar pulled over beside the Brilliance Corporation’s office building, Lucas saw a familiar black Mercedes-Benz sedan parked in front of the Brilliance Corporation. The person standing beside the door was Florence’s bodyguard, who was always wearing sunglasses.
There was no doubt that Florence had e to look for Cheyenne again.
At this moment, Cheyenne also saw the familiar middle-aged man with sunglasses. She said with a sullen look on her face, “Why is she here again?”
Florence had honestly left a bad impression on Cheyenne yesterday.
First, she had wanted to poach Cheyenne to bee the general manager of the Flor Group’s planned Orange County branch. She had even criticized the Brilliance Corporation, which was founded by Cheyenne, before saying that she wanted to invest a staggering sum of five hundred million dollars in her
pany.
If not for the fact that Cheyenne had indeed seen what the chairman of the Flor Group looked like in the media, she probably would have thought that Florence was a liar or a lunatic.
Yesterday, she had clearly rejected Florence and refused to go to her pany or accept her investment. Yet she came over again early in the moming. She still hadn’t given up yet?
An icy cold gaze appeared in Lucas’s eyes. He thought that Florence had e to see Cheyenne again today because she was indignant after getting stopped from revealing her true identity yesterday.
“I’s okay. I’ll get out of the car with you.” Lucas patted Cheyenne’s hand fortingly and took the lead to get out of the car.
Seeing both Lucas and Cheyenne getting out of the car, Florence opened the door of her car and stepped out too. She then walked straight toward them.
Andy, the bodyguard wearing sunglasses, followed closely behind Florence, with an expression of facing an enemy.
Although he knew that if Lucas really wanted to fight, he would be no match for him. But he still had to fulfill his responsibilities as a bodyguard.
But Lucas didn’t even look at him and merely glanced at Florence indifferently.
“Ms, Howard, why are you here?” Cheyenne said to Florence with a cold expression.
Florence suddenly said, “Miss Carter, I came here today to apologize to you! I didn’t do my due research yesterday and ended up inadvertently offending you and your Brilliance Corporation. It was indeed my fault, and I hope to seek your forgiveness.”
She was already an elegant noblewoman, and now that she was apologizing gently with an sincere expression on her face, she immediately seemed very magnanimous.
Cheyenne was stunned for a moment. She didn’t expect the chairman of the Flor Group, a Howard, would e so solemnly just to apologize to her.
Florence’s attitude was so good that it even made Cheyenne subconsciously think that she had really misunderstood her yesterday.
Lucas quietly took Cheyenne’s hand and said coldly, “Madam Howard, if you can stay out of my wife’s life and not disturb her from now on, I think that would be a better form of apology.”
Florence raised her head, looked deeply at Lucas, and suddenly smiled. “Mr. Gray, it seems you still have a strong misunderstanding of me. But that’s fine, we still have plenty of time in the future, and I’m sure we’ll clear the misunderstanding.”
Then she showed an ambiguous smile and tured around to get inside her car to leave with Andy without further ado.
This move surprised Lucas.
He originally thought that Florence would use this opportunity today to put on another dramatic act in front of Cheyenne or directly reveal that she was Cheyenne’s biological mother. He didn’t expect her to really leave after just apologizing.
But her last sentence was rather meaningful.
Cheyenne watched Florence’s car drive away and suddenly felt a little sympathetic. “She… came to apologize to me. Were we a little too harsh with her?”
Lucas burst into laughter, thinking to himself that Florence likely deliberately staged this because she knew how soft-hearted Cheyenne was.
He definitely didn’t think that a woman who always had her nose high up in the air and had a strong desire for power and control would really e to offer a sincere apology for going overboard with what she said.
“Cheyenne, this woman is from one of the eight most powerful families in DC, and she is the chairman of the Flor Group. Ordinary people will never be able to imagine how scheming she is. You’d better stay far away from her before knowing her agenda. After all, you’re too kindhearted,” Lucas said
earnestly.
Cheyenne listened attentively, but she blushed a little at Lucas’s last sentence. She glared at him. “We’re at the entrance of the office. What nonsense are you saying? I’m going to work. You should get about your own business too!”
Lucas smiled. gently, “Okay, then I’ll pick you up when I get off work.”
In the backseat of the black Mercedes-Benz sedan, Florence, who had just left the Brilliance Corporation, was thinking about something with her eyes narrowed.
While driving, Andy hesitated for a moment before saying, “Madam, can an apology really change Miss Carter’s attitude?”
Florence opened her eyes and said indifferently, “According to my investigation, she’s a very soft-hearted person. Today, I waited at her office early in the morning and deliberately lowered my pride to apologize to her. She may not forgive me immediately, but she will definitely be soft-hearted. As long
as I look for more opportunities to contact her, she will e to my side sooner or later!”
At the mention of her daughter, she didn’t have any motherly feelings for her. Instead, she was like an extremely shrewd businesswoman who chose the most appropriate plan to target the human heart after collecting sufficient information about her.
Andy was surprised, but since this was between Florence and her daughter, he had no say in the matter as an outsider.
“Well then… Madam, what should we do about Miss Pamela?” Andy asked.
At the mention of Florence’s niece, a look of displeasure appeared in her eyes.
She was the best candidate chosen by the Howards to marry the Master of California and win him over. But deep down, Florence wanted her daughter to marry the Master of California. So she could hardly have any friendly feelings toward Pamela.
Besides, Pamela had been studying abroad for years and wasn’t close to her at all.
“You’re right. Since we’re already in Orange County, we have to go and meet this niece of mine.”
Florence picked up her phone, dialed a number, and said kindly, “Pamela, this is Aunt Florence speaking. Are you still in the hotel? I’ll go over to you now.”
After she hung up, a cold smile appeared on her lips.
All the stumbling blocks getting in her daughter’s way had to be kicked away!
