Chapter 8: Exchange Places
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
How could Madam Linda not know how Alger was feeling? So, Madam Linda sighed and said slowly, “Alger, you must have met her, right? What she said is true.”
The tears in Madam Linda’s eyes made Alger sad. He looked at Madam Linda and said, “But you’re my mother in my heart.”
Madam Linda was shocked for a while. She then wiped her tears off and said weakly, “Son, she’s your birth mother, but I’m also your mother as well.”
“You’re capable of making your own decisions now. Your birth mother had made such a choice back then because there was nothing else she could do. Now that she’s here for you, you shouldn’t make her sad.”
Alger didn’t know what to think for a second. When he left, he was still thinking about what Madam Linda had told him in his mind.
Alger’s birth mother, Madam Lisa, was staying at the Douen Hotel right now. Madam Linda had asked him to go meet her when he had the time. Alger was still indecisive about this.
After pondering for a while, Alger decided to go home first.
When Alger returned home, Winnie was already there. Alger walked to the living room and heard an intimate call from Winnie’s room.
“Honey!”
This made Alger’s heart shake. He looked at Winnie’s room in shock, but the next second, he heard Alina’s voice in the room.
“Honey, what’s wrong? You seem unhappy,” Alina said in confusion.
After hearing this, Alger also listened carefully. He wanted to know what difficulties Winnie had encountered to see if he could help.
“Don’t even ask. Grandpa said today that he wants us to go out and seek collaborations. Whoever performs best will probably have control of the businesses of the Rolle family in the future,” Winnie said slowly.
“Seriously? That’s a good thing. The businesses of the Rolle family aren’t doing well, just third-rate at best. If you keep developing with the current mode of operation, I’m afraid you’ll go bankrupt,” Alina smiled and said.
“Yea, that’s why Grandpa is planning to start some new projects, but you know, we’ll need capital to do so.”
But where could they get the money from?
In the end, the Duke of Rolle gathered everyone for a meeting, asking young people like Winnie to go out there to look for business opportunities, and while doing so, improving the abilities of Winnie and the others.
Winnie had pretty good luck. She had picked the Wells Corporation. The others were extremely envious of her because of this, but Winnie didn’t look really happy.
This was the company of Cyril’s family. Winnie didn’t want to see Cyril Wells, so she was a bit frustrated about it.
“Really? So, what did you do about it in the end?” Alina also knew how Winnie felt about Cyril, so she was worried about Winnie as well.
“I didn’t want to go, but it doesn’t mean that other people didn’t want to go as well,” Winnie shrugged and said with a smile.
When Aries saw that Winnie had picked the Wells family, he thought it would be a great opportunity. After all, Cyril gave the Duke of Rolle such an expensive gift on his birthday.
It would definitely be easy to seek capital from the Wells family this time, so he wanted to exchange companies with Winnie.
Aries looked at Bode Villas in his hands and thought in his mind. This was a business of the Youssie Corporation, but people there weren’t quite easy to deal with.
That was why Aries wanted to exchange places with Winnie. Hearing this, Alina frowned and said, “So did you agree?”
“Of course! I don’t want anything to do with Cyril anyway,” Winnie nodded and said.
Even though Winnie knew that people of Bode Villas were hard to deal with, Aries promised her that he would find someone for help, as one of the managers of Bode Villas was Aries’ friend.
The two of them continued chatting, but Alger didn’t listen to them anymore. Youssie Corporation was one of the most famous corporations in Philadelphia. The well-known Bode Villas was also one of the businesses of this corporation.
Thinking that the manager of Bode Villas had given him a villa for free, Alger looked at the Black Card in his hands and started pondering…
Maybe he could help with this…
The next day.
Winnie went to work very early. As for Alger, he went to the hotel Madam Linda told him about after washing up.
Alger stood at the door of the presidential suite. He hesitated for a long time, but still knocked on the door in the end.
A moment later, Madam Lisa opened the door in lounge wear. When she saw Alger, she reached her hand out and pulled Alger inside excitedly, then said, “Alger, I’ve been waiting for you here!”
After Alger entered the suite, he was astonished, as this presidential suite was a few times larger than the place where he lived before. It was shockingly luxurious.
Alger remained silent for a while. He then looked at Madam Lisa and said, “I’ve never thought that the life of rich people would be like this. You’re still doing fine even without me.”
Madam Lisa was somewhat constrained after hearing this. She said, “Alger, are… are you still mad at us?”
Alger snickered. “Would you believe me if I say I’m not?”
Madam Lisa went silent. Anyone would feel resentful in his position. She had expected Alger to react like this before she came.
After a while, Madam Lisa sighed and said as she looked at Alger, “I’m sorry, son. I…”
“You didn’t have a choice, did you?”
Alger directly said, “But I don’t care about your explanation, since I can never accept it. You’re just someone who abandoned your birth child because of a legend.”
Alger paused and continued, “I don’t care about these things right now. You’re indeed my birth mother after all.”
Madam Lisa looked at Alger without saying a word.
Alger then said, “I can in fact admit that you’re my mother, but I have one request.”
Madam Lisa was thrilled. “Tell me!”
What Alger said meant that there was still hope, which was already pretty good for Madam Lisa.
Alger felt a bit complicated when he saw Madam Lisa’s happy face. He said, “I know you’re my birth mother, but Madam Linda has raised me for so long. I certainly won’t leave her behind.”
“Also, I can’t leave here right now. Even if I will in the future, Madam Linda must come with me.”
Madam Lisa nodded and said, “Anything else?”
“Just that. If you don’t agree, please don’t come to look for me in the future. You can just pretend you only gave birth to one son back then,” Alger looked at Madam Lisa and said.
Madam Lisa shook her head and said emotionally, “Of course I’ll agree to that. You’re saying these things because you’re kind and responsible. This makes me so happy. My son grew up well.”
After that, Madam Lisa also told him about the history of his family.
Alger finally knew his background now. His father was the famous Arms Yuri, one of the most outstanding people in Vancouver.
