Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO-Chapter 484: Learnt from the best.

Catrin took the phone and dialled a number. Soon, the call was connected, and she spoke through the line, "Ryan, if you have still not given up on Arwen and still want her the same, don't be more late than you already are."

The night was about Davies International's success. So, like every year, a presentation was made to give the overview of the year's business, the investments made, the returns received and how the cracked deals have contributed to the company, the country and society as a whole.

On the stage, Arwen also shared the interesting moments they all shared after completing the toughest projects. A few of them were not just in graphs and figures, but in beautiful clips, capturing the smiles, hard work and the real joy.

The intention behind it was not just to showcase the healthy working environment of Davies Internationals, but also to prove Arwen's involvement in every single deal, her decisiveness and also her strong idea to succeed.

Although Arwen was up on the stage to brief it, she wasn't the one to prepare it. So, it was also a surprise for her.

She slowly turned to look at Mia, who quickly explained.

"Ma'am, Chairman Madam has asked to take frequent video clips of you. She had asked me not to tell you about it so —"

Arwen could understand why.

If she had been asked, she would have refused straight away because she never had plans of taking up the chair her mother had her eyes on.

But now …

It doesn't matter.

At the same time, everyone else was equally amazed. They thought that, being Brenda Davies's granddaughter, she had been privileged to take up the position of Vice President with ease.

But seeing the video, they could tell that Arwen had the capability to sit in the chair.

On the screen, while managing the people and instructing them, she didn't look like the rich socialite who was trained to attend the opulent events and gatherings; rather, she looked like a woman trained to make a name and difference in the business.

"And that was all we had to share with our stakeholders. Hope you will continue to put your faith and support in us." Arwen concluded her speech before adjusting the mic. "If there are any questions, I would be willing to hear them."

She waited, and soon, the representative from a famous media house stood up to ask, "Ms. Quinn, we remember you were trained for the ballet stage and rich social and charity galas, what brought you to the business? Is it your parents who inspired you?"

No one was unaware that both Catrin and Idris were into business. Children taking up their parents' profession as a hobby was also not something difficult to picture.

So, all of them were curious to know. They all wanted to hear her inspiring story of an emerging.

Arwen's lips curled up in a smile, but it was too hard to read the story behind that smile. Her gaze held the glitter, but that smile didn't quite reach her eyes. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

"It was never my parents," she said slowly. "There was never any inspiration as well." She laughed. "I indulged myself in it because I was too bored staying alone at home."

People were taken off guard, but soon they chuckled, finding the hint of humor in her words.

Of course, both her parents were too busy at work to give her the time. Of course, she would have been bored and lonely.

Who thought even boredom could make people turn out so capable?

While people took it as a talent, Idris and Catrin felt different emotions.

"She is out to humiliate us. Her wings have surely grown hard." Catrin felt her fury bubble again.

But Idris remained silent. He didn't care to speak anymore to her. No matter what he would say, he had understood that it wouldn't make sense to Catrin.

"Brat!" At his moment, an aged but elegant voice glazed with complaint cut through the air, instantly attracting all attention. "Was it for this day I put my efforts in you? So that you stand there on stage and refuse to even acknowledge me?"

Arwen's brows arched up, but soon they melded well with the smile on her lips. "Granna!" she called ever so softly that it visibly contrasted with her earlier tone.

Brenda had chosen to enter the banquet at just this moment. Right when everyone has witnessed Arwen's true form —the form that can easily manage the confidence and grace when needed.

She didn't want to step in before and take away all attention.

"Don't use that sweetness on me now …," she said as she walked forward with Margaret on her side as always, "when you clearly didn't care to acknowledge me before. Sigh, I trained you in vain."

People's gasps filled the room, and soon they all understood the gist of it all.

Arwen was trained by no one else but Brenda Davies herself. No doubt her attitude and demeanor while handling the jobs in the video looked so exceptionally professional.

Arwen stepped down the stage and walked to her. "Granna, you got it wrong," she said before passing a small smile to the media representative who had presented the question before. "They wanted to know who inspired me. They didn't ask me who tricked me into it. If they had, I would have definitely given your name."

Everyone was again taken by surprise.

No one has ever dared to talk to Brenda Davies like this in front of so many people, not even her daughter Catrin.

Now seeing Arwen being so blunt with the old lady, they all were curious to know how deep a relationship Brenda shared with her granddaughter.

The woman who didn't treat her daughter with such warmth, could it be possible that she treated her granddaughter differently …?

"Seems like Mrs. Davies shares a special bond with her granddaughter," someone whispered among the guests.

And in response, another one chimed in, "Yes, she doesn't look at all offended."

"Maybe this happens when people reach their old age. They start liking their grandkids more than their own children."

"Haha … yes. Even Mrs. Davies seems no different. She must truly adore Arwen."

They all started guessing on their own.

Catrin, who stood there, listened to it all and could help but grit her teeth. Her gaze turned hostile as she stared at Arwen and Brenda at the front.

Why did her mother treat everyone differently but not her?

While under everyone's watchful gaze, Brenda eyed Arwen and said, "You sure have learnt it all for me. How can I even deal with you? You will have all the arguments to escape."

"What can I do?" Arwen shrugged casually. "I have learnt from the best."

Brenda laughed, and people witnessed a different side of the lady who always looked so difficult to approach.

After a long moment, another representative from the media approached.

"Chairman Davies, we have finally met the mysterious Vice President of Davies International. Now, can you tell us, when will we be able to see the new leader, you have chosen to lead both the company and legacy?"
