Chapter 413
Grace couldn’t bear for things to stay this tense between his daughters. If this continued, what would happen to the company in the future?
Just thinking about it made her feel uneasy.
No matter what, she couldn’t let things deteriorate like this between her girls.
“I just think… maybe your sister’s been going through something lately. That’s probably why she’s been saying such harsh things.”
Grace paused, trying to choose her words carefully.
“Don’t be too angry with her. You know how she is–she’s always been like that. Haven’t you spent enough time with her to understand her temperament by now?”

Aurora couldn’t hold back any longer, cutting her off before she could continue.
Grace still wanted to speak, but Aurora didn’t want to hear it anymore.

Then she gently adjusted the bed to a comfortable recline, ping, her mother lie back before tucking the blanket over her.
“Mom, I was immature before. I owe you an apology.”
Her delicate face was filled with sincerity.
“From now on, I promise I’ll listen to you and do everything I can to help grow Walton Corporation stronger than ever.”
Grace looked at her, eyes brimming with tears, warmth blooming in her chest. “Aurora, hearing you say that means everything to me.”
“It means everything to me too, Mom.” Aurora smiled softly.
‘Being your daughter in this lifetime is something I’ll always be proud of.”
Maybe once, she’d harbored resentment toward her mother
