Chapter 1422

"What does this have to do with temperament? Oh, never mind that, let’s talk about tomorrow’s events. Have you discussed it with the directors? Do you have the presidency in the bag?"

Clara Carrington shrugged nonchalantly, "Charles is ignoring his duties, Christian is unambitious, and Father is eager to seize control. For me, it’s the best timing. I definitely have it under control."

Jade Willis thought for a while, finally understanding, but asked worriedly, "Will your Dad let you give the position to Christian afterwards?"

A harsh look flashed in Clara’s eyes, "Definitely. My father is reluctant to pass the Carrington Enterprise to me, a woman. I’m just a pawn for him to usurp power from his elder brother."

"What? What will we do later on? Is he going to limit my spending?"

Feeling a headache coming on about her mother, Clara spoke impatiently, "Mom, you’re thinking too small. You’ve given birth to me, so you have access to endless wealth. You don’t need to worry about that."

"Oh, that’s a relief," Jade broke into a smile again, "Then it doesn’t matter. As a girl, you’re meant to get married someday. Once you’re married off, settle down as a full-time housewife and enjoy life like me. Running a company? That’s a man’s job."

Rubbing her temple, Clara replied, "Never mind, explaining to you is hopeless. Times have changed, men and women are equal. Women can achieve what men can. As for marriage, I can have a man come into my family, instead of marrying out. In any case, I’m not going to relent easily. I want the entire Carrington Enterprise to be mine."

Jade Willis was taken aback and a little stuck for a while, recalling certain matters.

"Are you still thinking about learning from Chloe Collins?"

The mention of the name made Clara pause, and she set down her teacup.

She traced her freshly manicured fingers, eyebrows low in a calm and gentle expression, but her eyes were chilly.

"To learn? Heh, those times are in the past."

"You don’t like her anymore? Oh, in the past, didn’t you always say she was your goddess, that you wanted to be like her, a strong independent woman?" asked Jade Willis laughingly.

The younger Clara, back in the day, idolized Chloe Collins after seeing the news about her. She had always brought up her name in daily chats.

"I said, it’s all in the past. Don’t bring it up anymore." Clara stifled a yawn, standing up, "I’m going to bed, you should sleep early too."

Jade Willis couldn’t understand her daughter’s intentions, and shrugged, not thinking too much about it. She picked up her phone and planned a shopping trip with some old friends for the next day.

Once she’d returned to her room, Clara poured a glass of red wine and took her time drinking.

Suddenly, she remembered Chloe Collins from the arena two years ago.

At that time, she was just a small-time manager at Starbright, sitting in the audience watching Chloe Collins beat Mane York, the nation’s sweetheart of Anstolas, to the ground. That moment felt so satisfying.

She vowed to become someone like Collins.

Later, she heard that Chloe Collins was attacked by some monsters. Her wedding got interrupted, and she vanished completely.

There were a lot of rumors, and the most widespread one was that Collins had died.

She believed this rumor because it was the one that made her the happiest.

In the dim night, she watched the sky and slowly poured the red liquid from her glass, "Miss Collins, people are now saying that I’m like you, that I’m the second you, but I’m not happy. I’m waiting for them to say that I’m better than you. Watch from heaven, I’m going to be stronger than you."

A smile crept onto her face, her eyes filled with grand ambitions.
