The Billionaire CEO Wants to Marry Me Every Day

Chapter 978: Chapter 978: Future Daughter-in-Law

Damian Knight’s voice came through the phone: "Mom, where are you?"

"I’m at Crestfall University." Susan Stone picked up the phone and walked to the entrance of the auditorium, unable to resist sharing the exciting scene with Damian Knight.

Damian Knight on the other end seemed lost in thought. After she finished speaking, he remained silent for two full seconds before saying, "Mom, have you accepted Summer Monroe?"

Susan Stone choked, her face inexplicably warming up.

"Ahem!" Susan Stone cleared her throat and said, "What are you talking about? I’m just telling you what I saw today. Besides, I haven’t accepted her; I’m just giving her three months to prove herself because of you."

Damian Knight chuckled softly and said, "Alright, in that case, did she manage to prove herself tonight?"

"Tonight..." Susan Stone seemed to be blocked by phlegm, choking once again, and after two more dry coughs, she finally said, "Just being good at studying isn’t enough; the Monroe Family isn’t what it used to be. She can’t help you in business."

"I understand. I’ll pass your words on to her and encourage her to keep striving."

"Keep striving...?"

Susan Stone mumbled unnaturally, then suddenly remembered and asked, "Why did you suddenly call me?"

Damian Knight finally remembered the main matter.

He spoke up: "I know you’ve endured the Grant Family for two days because of my cooperation here in Rivain, so I’m especially calling to inform you: at seven o’clock, the Grant Family, crumbles."

Susan Stone’s eyes lit up: "What did you say? The Grant Family..."

"Mom, don’t say anything just yet. I’m letting you know in advance so you won’t have to endure the Grant Family anymore. They can’t pose any threat to me."

"I understand, I understand, I won’t say anything."

"Now, I’m heading to the school to pick you and Sadie up."

"Got it."

The call ended, and Susan Stone took a deep breath, feeling extremely relieved.

She couldn’t have imagined that her once-favored prospect for in-laws now filled her with such disgust.

By contrast, Summer Monroe, whom she had many complaints and concerns about from the start, but now...

"Ahem!" Susan Stone coughed once and decided not to think further, only reminding herself that if Summer Monroe couldn’t prove her worth in three months, she would still not accept her.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Grant finally persuaded Willow Grant.

The two returned to the entrance of the auditorium and saw Susan Stone there. Mrs. Grant hurried forward and said, "Susan, why are you out here too?"

"Oh." Susan Stone waved her phone expressionlessly and said, "Just took a call."

Willow Grant looked at the expression on Susan Stone’s face, feeling the unease that appeared at the end of the flea market rising again.

"Mrs. Stone..." Willow Grant bit her lip and stepped forward, saying, "I promise you, I’ll definitely get into Britton University!"

Susan Stone half-smiled and said, "Why are you promising me? This is something you should promise your parents."

Susan Stone’s indifferent attitude made Mrs. Grant unable to suppress her dissatisfaction.

"Susan, what do you mean by that? Willow is your future daughter-in-law. If she gets into Britton University, won’t that bring you some glory too?"

"Future daughter-in-law?" Susan Stone tilted her head as if hearing something inconceivable and said, "When did I say Willow was my future daughter-in-law?"

Willow Grant’s face changed dramatically.

"Mrs. Stone?"
