Chapter 1036 Being The Matriarch (1/2)

Steven rubbed his eyes and looked again. The corridor was empty and he realized that it was just an illusion.

He ran his fingers through his hair and put out the half-smoked cigarette that he was holding in his hand.

He walked towards the elevator, exhaled loudly, and got in.

When the elevator doors had closed, Carla stepped out of the corner where she was hiding the entire time.

Carla had been hiding from Steven because of her grandfather. Arthur's words, right before his death, had been constantly ringing in her ears. She couldn't stop thinking about it.

She had refused to obey him. She wanted to prove that Steven would be happy even if he didn't stay with her in Yu Sea City. She felt that he would be better off without her.

So Carla had no regrets. She didn't feel bad for not heeding her grandfather's last wish.

But disappointment dwelled in the pit of her stomach when she saw how miserable and lonely Steven was.

Carla wasn't sure about her decision anymore.

After bidding goodbye to Violet, Carla went back to the AJ Building.

She glanced at her watch. Terence was still held up in the meeting, so she sat quietly in his office.

”Here you go, Mrs. An. Have some tea.”

Rainer walked in with a cup of tea.

”Thanks, Rainer. Do you have any idea how the Su family is doing?”

Carla asked, taking a sip of the tea.

”Well, it's a bit complicated. It's hard to explain everything to you in a short time. But all I can tell you is that Mr. An is being extremely kind to them,”

Rainer said softly. The competitive world of business attracts many enemies. Everyone looks at their competitors with hawk-eyed scrutiny, waiting to seize the right opportunity to defeat them, and crawl their way up to the top.

Terence could have easily made use of the opportunity to destroy the Su family. It would have been impossible for them to rise again and come back to business if he had done that.

But Terence was a man with a heart of gold. He didn't resort to such heartless measures.

Carla nodded. ”I understand. Thanks, Rainer. You may go back to your work.”
