Chapter 173

Each With Their Own Thoughts

“She’s right.”

“What?” Susanne asked in shock, unable to immediately process what her son said.

Vinson replied coldly, “Why should I be welcoming to a stranger? But you can let her stay here if you
really like her that much. Just inform me when you get sick of seeing her around.”

“You—” Susanne’s face was flushed red with anger. “I dare you to say that again! I’m helping you choose
your future wife and not a playmate!”

“Oh, you don’t have to worry about that. I can find my own wife. Besides, I’ve already found her.”



Susanne was startled at Vinson’s words and suddenly recalled the phone call earlier. Her pupils
constricted as she exclaimed, “You didn’t make that up just to brush me off?”

Not wanting to continue the conversation, Vinson glanced at his watch and said, “I have work to attend
to.” Then, he strode off.



Only then did Susanne realize Vinson was being serious and pressed on excitedly, “Who is she? What
are her qualifications? What’s her name? Have I met her before?”

Of course, she was most concerned about the woman’s family background.

She would never accept a woman from an average family to be her daughter-in-law.



Even though it was extremely rare that her son took interest in a woman, Susanne would not make any
exception.

“You will meet her someday,” Vinson said before entering the elevator, which took him straight to the
underground garage. He then drove off in his sports car.

Susanne did not have the patience to wait. I need to find out who this woman is and run a background
check on her. After all, the Nightshire family shall accept women of prestigious families only.

As such, she ordered the butler to find out Vinson’s recent whereabouts and consolidate a list of the
women whom he had interacted with.

After giving her instructions, Susanne returned to the dining room. With an apologetic smile, she said,
“I’m so sorry, Wendy, my son is good at everything except dealing with women. Please don’t take it to
heart, yeah? It will be fine once you two get to know each other better.”

However, Susanne was not aware that Wendy had heard their entire conversation. Worried that the
mother-son pair would end up in an argument, the latter had chased out after them.

But Wendy pretended that she knew nothing. Looking a little upset, she replied obediently, “Don’t worry
about it, Ms. Stone. It’s normal for Mr. Nightshire to be dismayed. After all, it’s true that I’m imposing on
your family. M-Maybe I should just stay at the house.”

“That won’t do! Jadeborough is still an unfamiliar city to you. I will worry if I leave you all by yourself. Just
stay here and ignore that fella. I’ll be happy to have you as a company.”

Susanne smiled warmly at Wendy and held her hand.

However, the woman had her own plans.



If Vinson’s love interest had a family background and qualifications comparable to that of Wendy’s,
Susanne would allow Wendy to leave, citing the reason that she was already familiar with Jadeborough
and that she should move out so that she could enjoy her privacy.

However, Wendy, who could read people well, fully understood Susanne’s intentions.

She would have left immediately if it were another man.

Back in Horington, she was the picky one. She would not have expected for herself to become the
subject of selection.

However, after meeting Vinson, and taking into account the Nightshires’ prestigious status, the woman
was willing to stay and take a gamble.

As she was the most outstanding woman in Horington, she would naturally want a man who shared the
same status or more superior. Hence, Vinson was the ideal candidate.

Even though both women looked happy on the surface, they each had different aspirations.

Meanwhile, Vinson sped all the way to the filming site.

After Vinson arrived, he got Iris to distribute the breakfast which he had bought to everyone while he and
his assistant made sure that the filming surroundings were safe.

Vinson only entered the studio after he had finished inspecting the area.
