Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 372

Chapter 372: Luxury hard for her to afford.

Margaret was confused. With her brows furrowed, she asked, "Madam, do you think their meeting at the Civil Affairs Bureau wasn't a coincidence?"

"In this world, coincidences don't happen often," Brenda said, her words dripping with intrigue. "If it is happening, then there must be something around that we have neglected to notice."

After taking a brief pause, she inhaled a deep breath before exhaling it out slowly. "Margaret, I think we haven't quite investigated the Winslow family."

Margaret's expression became solemn, and with slight hesitation, she said, "Madam, Winslows goes beyond our authority. We don't hold the power to investigate them."

"How can that be possible?" Brenda's tone held a subtle arrogance. Letting her lips curl slightly at the corners, she spoke with reason, "We have given our daughter, our precious treasure, to them. We hold all the rights to investigate their suitability for her."

If they don't hold the authority, no one else does.

Margaret understood what she meant. Nodding, she at once accepted the instruction. "I will ask someone to investigate this."

Brenda smiled, giving her a small glance before turning to look towards the doorway, at the space, her mind swirling with several thoughts.

She didn't doubt Aiden's intentions towards her granddaughter.

She couldn't doubt that … because she had seen the sincerity in those eyes when he stared at Arwen …

But at the same time, she felt there was something that was not meeting the eyes.

And that was something she did doubt and wanted to know.

"How is the preparation of the annual anniversary going?" she asked after taking a brief while. Her eyes darted back to Margaret. "Is everything arranged?"

"Yes, Madam," Margaret nodded. "Almost everything is arranged and decided. The major shareholders have already received the news of the leadership change, and they have no issue with it. Most of them find this a very suitable decision, and they even favor Ms. Arwen's candidacy for it."

Brenda's lips curled in a proud smile. "They have seen her grow competent for the position. Of course, they wouldn't oppose her. After all, they all know —after me. if there is truly someone who could be capable of leading the Davies Empire, then it's her."

Brenda has herself trained Arwen —over the years making her perfect for the position so that, later, no one can rival her —not even her own mother.

Margaret hesitated. "Madam, we will soon be sending out the official invitations. With that done, Ms. Catrin would come to know about it too. I don't think she would be very happy to know about this."

Although Catrin was Arwen's mother, and usually mothers get happy seeing their children excel and achieve … that wasn't the case with Catrin.

And being her mother, Brenda knew this better than anyone.
