Seeing that I didn’t immediately respond, Harlan acted like he was about to scold Yasmine. “Your mom and I have spoiled you too much! Your mom has sacrificed so much for you, and this is how you repay her? How do you expect to manage the company in the future or gain others’ respect?”
Yasmine turned her head to avoid him and angrily clung to my arm. “Mom, I want to study abroad. Can you figure something out for me?”
Looking at these three putting on such a dedicated performance, how could I ruin the mood? I smiled faintly, speaking in a gentle tone, “Yasmine is right. If she can’t study locally, she’ll go abroad. My daughter will never lack opportunities. Once you’ve completed your studies, I’ll hand the company over to you. My Yasmine deserves nothing but the best!”
For a moment, a look of jealousy flickered across Lana’s face, but she quickly suppressed it. The three of them exchanged a smile as if they had reached some secret understanding.
I smiled too.
I was smiling at their audacity.
