After locking the door behind them, the two quickly jumped out of the bedroom window and fled in panic.
Mr. Grant wasn’t very agile, and he strained his back when he fell.
"Chairman!" His assistant hurried over to support him, and the two awkwardly ran to the roadside to hail a cab.
Once in the car, Mr. Grant finally thought of Mrs. Grant and Willow Grant.
He quickly dialed Mrs. Grant’s phone—
Meanwhile, at Crestfall University.
The charity auction event was nearing its end, with only the payment segment left for buyers to complete backstage.
The auction required complete silence throughout, so no one had their phone turned on.
Mr. Grant’s call went unanswered by Mrs. Grant.
Regarding that sculpture auction item, Mrs. Grant was internally fuming, but since it had already been bid on, she couldn’t break the deal and embarrass Willow at school.
No choice, Mrs. Grant had to bring Willow along to pay the money backstage.
On the way, Willow couldn’t help but ask, "Mom, has Mrs. Stone’s attitude changed?"
Mrs. Grant’s face stiffened, and she said sternly, "She’s refusing a kind offer and insists on a harsh one. I’ll have to go back and talk to your father, and have him put pressure on the Knight Family."
"What?!" Willow disagreed vehemently, "You can threaten them verbally, but you can’t really take action. If you do, even if I marry Damian Knight in the future, Mrs. Stone won’t let me live peacefully."
"Don’t worry, I’ll buy you a villa in Crestfall. As long as you don’t see Susan Stone every day, you won’t feel uncomfortable. With time, besides forgetting this, what else could Susan Stone do?"
Willow still felt that openly making Susan Stone unhappy wasn’t a good tactic.
But right now, Summer Monroe was in the spotlight repeatedly, and Susan Stone’s attention was completely drawn by that contemptible woman.
Besides taking a hard stance, there was indeed no other way.
"Alright." Willow nodded, reluctantly agreeing.
Once they reached backstage, Willow immediately spotted Arron paying the money.
The sound of a billion being transferred through the software rang out, yet Arron didn’t even lift an eyelid, as if a billion was merely a number, nothing significant.
Mrs. Grant noticed Arron and whispered, "Willow, when I was looking for you, I heard he’s from the prep class. Why haven’t I seen him before? Is his family wealthier than ours?"
Willow glanced at Arron with a complicated expression and shook her head, saying, "I honestly don’t know, but... you don’t need to pay him any mind."
"Why? If his family is really that well-off, befriending him wouldn’t hurt."
Mrs. Grant said, and before Willow could react, stepped toward Arron.
"Student..."
Just as Mrs. Grant began speaking, Arron stood before Summer Monroe.
Mrs. Grant abruptly halted, looking puzzled.
Willow seized the chance to stop her mother, softly reminding, "Mom, this guy has eyes only for Summer Monroe, and he’s used money to insult me before, so... don’t worry about him."
That time at the library, she wouldn’t forget Arron dismissing her with money.
"That little vixen... she really knows how to seduce men!"
Mrs. Grant picked up her phone to take a photo, planning to show it to Susan Stone later.
However, Mr. Grant’s call came through once more.
Mrs. Grant was shocked to find that Mr. Grant had called her dozens of times.
What on earth happened that he was so urgently looking for her?
But Mrs. Grant didn’t think much about it; she pressed to reject the call and aimed the camera at Summer Monroe and Arron.
