Chapter 2242

Jaylene felt a bit perplexed. Darcie had been adamantly against it before, and the two had argued over it countless times. Suddenly, a sense of relief washed over her, and Jaylene even wondered if she had misheard.

After a while, she realized what had happened and exclaimed joyfully," Mom, are you really okay with this?"

Darcie replied impatiently, "What's the point in me opposing? Have you ever listened to me once? You practically treat me like an enemy!"

"Mom, are you really not tricking me?" Jaylene asked again to confirm.

Darcie sighed, "What parent can outsmart their child in this world? Look at how tangled up you've gotten over Keegan and still refuse to stop. What else can I do?"

Jaylene hugged Darcie, brimming with joy. "Mom, it was all my fault before. I just love Keegan too much. You can rest assured that as long as you don't oppose me loving Keegan, I'll listen to you from now on.'

Darcie gently patted her back, her eyes clear. "Don't get too excited yet. Remember the conditions I mentioned. Caline has consumed half of my lifetime efforts, something I've left for you. You need to prove to me that you can maintain it. With this asset in your hands, no one will dare to underestimate you in the future, no matter how your marriage turns out."

"I understand, Mom. I know you're looking out for me. I won't let you down," Jaylene replied.

She had disregarded her mother's words so many times before, but now, using Keegan as bait, she was willing to consider anything.

Darcie suppressed the frustration in her heart and said softly, "Do you remember the promises Stella made when Sonia first joined the company?"

Jaylene immediately recalled. At that time, her mother had opposed Sonia Clarkson joining the company, and Stella had made promises on her behalf. If Sonia caused any trouble, Stella would resign.

They were unable to openly confront her, but hadn't she herself once said that if things went awry, she would bear the responsibility?

Jaylene understood and nodded. "Mom, I know what to do."

Darcie patted her shoulder, her eyes full of determination. "The first stage of the National Perfume Blending Competition selection is about to begin. A new recruit will be joining your team in a few days. With her on board, this year's championship is practically guaranteed. For this competition, they will invite several top figures in the industry as judges. Many people will come seeking opportunities, and with a champion title, many business deals will naturally fall into place. Seize this opportunity well and don't disappoint me."

Jaylene nodded, feeling more determined than ever before.

After Darcie finished persuading Jaylene, during a meal, Stella immediately posted another Twitter update. It was two pictures of Patek Philippe watches, with the caption asking everyone, "Which one should I choose?"

Carter Lowe asked below, "For Keegan's birthday gift?"

Stella replied, "Help me pick."

Vermont Snyder commented, "Buy a signature pen for five bucks at the supermarket and draw on his hand. He doesn't even remember you. What's the point in wasting money?"

Carter replied, "The one on the right. When I went out with Keegan to discuss business before, he mentioned this model. I think he likes it."

After a few minutes, Stella responded, "I asked, but this one's out of stock. It'll take seven days to order. We don't have the time. Do any of you have any connections?"

Vermont said, "Why didn't you say so earlier? Where can I get it for you at this critical moment? Forget it, I'll ask around, but don't get your hopes up too much."

Jaylene's birthday gift for Keegan was also a watch, but it was far less luxurious than the one Stella had chosen. They would definitely be compared when the same type of gift was presented. A watch worth tens of thousands would certainly pale in comparison to one worth millions.

Suddenly, she felt uneasy and immediately reached out to find out about the watch Stella had chosen.
