Chapter 703: Kind Gesture

At the Chua Group Building.

Cris heaved a long sigh before she entered the Vice-Chairman's office. She saw Brix's mother standing there. Lenny looked around and touched the glass nameplate and read it loudly, "Vice-Chairman Lenny Chua".

Lenny then turned to look at Cris and with a mocking smile said, "I bet you are rejoicing, huh? You and Kenzie won. Not to forget that you've also won by hooking on to my son."

Cris let out another sigh and with a forced half-smile, she said, "Madame, I think you are missing an important point here. All rights were transferred to your son. Again 'YOUR SON' So I believe you must not consider yourself as someone who has lost.

I hate to say this but I feel that you need to hear this. Brix, Your son felt really bad about all this. I have never seen him so low in his life as when he was when confronted with the fact that his mother had only signed the papers because Sir Daryl had something against you with which to force you to sign them, instead of you signing them willingly and letting your son handle everything?

For days he was in a dilemma, but he told me that he believed in you, that somehow your eyes would finally open to the fact that what you were doing was not right. That somehow your motherly love for him would overcome the greed in your heart."

Cris left the paper she carried for Lenny, at the center table. Brix's mother was quiet and Cris hoped it was a good sign.

"Brix would be taking over from today. He asked me to see how you were doing because he was worried. At this point, he is still hurting but I have told him to meet you as soon as he is ready to face you. I don't want to meddle in your personal affairs but this concerns the man I love so I apologize if you think I'm being rude.

But I hope not to see Brix sad because of you, as you are an important person in his life. The most important woman in his life. He cares for you a lot and he only wants what is best for you. We all know that doing bad things would only bring you harm, which is why he couldn't tolerate following you anymore and why he took the risk of going against you. It was for your own good."

Lenny arched her brow and said, "If you're done with your speech, Cris, then the door is open for you to leave. You are not yet part of the family, so don't try to make yourself comfortable around me, because I will never accept someone like you for my son."

Cris turned around and walked out of the room with dropped shoulders. She had said her piece and arguing anymore with Brix's mother would only make things worse. All of them needed time, so for now Cris would not push Brix's mother because she knew how Madame Lenny was teeming with pride.

But somehow Cris had hoped that Lenny would let go of her pride when it came to her son Brix.

Cris looked at her wristwatch as she walked towards the CEO's office where Brix was in a meeting with Kenzie and Daryl. Today Brix would be appointed the official Vice Chairman of the company and his inauguration would also be held later today.

It should have been a joyous occasion for Brix but Cris knew he was broken inside.

Cris had almost reached the office door when Kenzie came out.

"Go inside," Kenzie said with a smile.

"Where are you going,Ma'am?" Cris asked.

"Ah, just to see how my aunt is doing. Don't worry I won't pick a fight with her." Kenzie said with a wink before she walked towards the elevator to go to the Vice-Chairman's office.

Lenny's face? darkened when Kenzie suddenly barged into her office. Kenzie had on her usual bright smile as she said, "Oh Aunty, I'm so proud of you. My husband told me everything, how you finally signed that agreement. Ah, why is your face so dark?"

Kenzie sat comfortably on the couch and looked at her wristwatch before she remarked, "The inauguration will start soon, Aunty. How does it feel that your big dream for my cousin Brix is finally coming true? You see, I'm pregnant and my husband and I have agreed that I should not overwork myself, so we were thinking of appointing Brix at the CEO position."

"Why are you really here, Kenzie?" Lenny grunted because she knew that the girl was only here to curse and mock her.

'First Cris and now this brat!' Lenny scoffed inwardly.

"Ah, I know, don't worry I will return all that money in due time so there is no need for you to come here to remind me!" Lenny beamed.

Kenzie exhaled loudly and said, "Ah, why do you sound like that? You can keep it all. That's what I am here to tell you, don't bother returning it. I have already talked to my husband and he too has agreed."

"What?!" Lenny was shocked to hear this because what she had embezzled was not a simple amount.

Kenzie straightened her back and stretched her neck before answering, "You heard me. You see, if my father had been in my shoes I know that this is what he too would have done. He might have been even more generous and given you more, thinking that it would please you and Brix. You know my father is always worried for you and Brix.

To be honest, he's in the hospital now and recuperating from his brain tumor surgery. He is doing well but he has lost all his memories from before his surgery, but he asks a lot about you.

Well, he asks about Brix too but Brix visits him often so he just asks about you, asks me if you're doing fine. He even asks me to lessen your workload because you're just as old as him and more prone to health problems.

Another reason why I'm here is to inform you that you can visit father anytime you wish. My secretary will send you his hospital details and visiting hours in case you decide to see him. I will leave you now, Aunty, and please smile because you did not lose anything in the process. Good thing you ended with us as your family.

After all, we are family and it's always good not to have conflicts with each other over money and power. Like my father always says, let's give more importance to helping each other, be united, and have as healthy a relationship with each other as possible.

I shall leave now, Aunt. See you around." Kenzie said with a smile. She hoped her Aunt Lenny would appreciate her kind gesture towards her and changed for the better.
