Chapter 58: The Estrangement Between Sisters
Tabitha notices that Antonia is unfriendly to her, which makes her feel unhappy, and she wonders how she has provoked her. “Antonia, Brian, are you back from your honeymoon?” Tabitha approaches to greet them. “Not yet, Brian just needs to deal with something about the company. Our honeymoon is not over yet.” Antonia says proudly. Tabitha looks at Brian with her mouth twitching, but Brian does not want to stay. He enjoins something to Antonia and greets Tabitha hypocritically. After that he leaves the airport.
Two women stare at Brian blankly as he leaves and their expressions are colorful. “Antonia, let’s go home, too!” Tabitha takes Antonia’s hand, but Antonia frees herself from her, looking at Tabitha and smiling, “no, Tabitha. Brian and I make commitment to each other that I continue to travel, and Brian will come to find me soon, so I can’t go back now. Please give my best regards to our parents!” After hearing it, Tabitha is very confused. What is going on here? Since it is a honeymoon, it is ridiculous that the groom leaves first and the bride travels alone. Thinking of all the previous things, Tabitha suddenly realizes that maybe this is Brian’s revenge. For the sake of sisterhood, she feels it necessary to warn her so that she could not be deceived.
“Antonia, don’t you think … Brian …is there something wrong with him?” Tabitha says with frowning. “What’s wrong?” Antonia looks at Tabitha warily. “You see. It is usually that the couple go to honeymoons together, but now he’s busy, and you’re flying to everywhere alone…You’d better think of it carefully. Was there anything wrong with him before?” Tabitha questions for she always feels something wrong. Antonia thinks back, but it was a journey of happiness. What’s wrong with it? She has been immersed in the whirlpool of love. How could she have any doubt about Brian? On the contrary, she seriously suspects that because Tabitha’s life is not as good as her, so she makes mischief out of jealousy.
Thinking of it, Antonia is very dissatisfied with her younger sister. “No! Brian takes good care of me all the way. Tabitha, you are thinking too much about it. You’d better wish me a happy honeymoon, don’t talk nonsense!” Antonia looks at Tabitha and warns her. Tabitha is greatly displeased. She feels disdainful about Antonia’s stupidity and conceitedness. But she also knows Antonia’s character, and does not try to persuade her any more. “Okay, have a nice trip, Antonia.” Tabitha smiles and blesses. “Thank you!” Antonia turns back and goes aboard the plane again. She is still complacent.
Tabitha is also angry with her sister who doesn’t listen to her advice, so she goes straight home. Since Brian knew the truth, he has withdrawn his whole shares of the Su family, which led to their capital interruption, and it has nearly gone bankrupt overnight. However, there are still many employees in the company, and outside there are many partners, and all these need funds to maintain. If not, the Su family will face a devastating blow. It will have no economic income. What’s worse, the huge debts would probably force father Su to jump off a building.
“Hi! Mr. Su, it is me. The company needs a large sum of funds in an emergency. It is the Li Group, which cooperated with us before…Yes, the cooperation between us is not over, so we need to invest a large sum of money, otherwise we are in default and need to compensate huge liquidated damages!” “You tell them I’m dealing with it and wait a little longer!” Father Su is wiping the cold sweat on his forehead while deceiving them. “Hi, Mr. Su, it is the end of this month, and the company accounting department has only a little capital. Shall we take it out to pay salary to the members?” “No! You placate the staff first, and then let everyone hold on a little longer and their salary will be paid next month, that’s all!” Father Su hangs up the phone, angrily throwing it away. He is so angry that he cannot breathe.
In two months, the crisis in the company is getting worse and worse, and he is almost at the end of his rope. “Honey, you see. Shall we ask Brain for help? Let Antonia beg him.” Mother Su sees Father Su has no idea, so she puts forward a suggestion. “Ask him? The company crisis is made by him. Do you think it’s useful to ask him?” Father Su pulls the b.u.t.ton with wheezing. “But isn’t it useless for Antonia to marry him?” Mother Su thinks. “Don’t worry. I won’t sit still waiting for death! I have more than one daughter! Hum!” Father Su says angrily. Mother Su nods at him as if she understands something.
