Her Return, His Regret by Natie

Chapter 154~ I am your mother

Hours earlier...

After leaving the Kingsley Group building, Jason called his sister, Isabella and offered to take her for brunch.

When Isabella arrived at the restaurant, her face lit up. She took a seat opposite Jason and said, "This is new. Did you invite me for lunch to celebrate our win? I take it you're now the CEO of the Kingsley Group, congratulations, bro."

Jason didn't respond to those words. He opened a bottle of champagne and poured Isabella some into a glass before handing it to her.

"How well do you know our mother, Isabella?" Jason asked.

Isabella happily received the glass of champagne. After taking a sip, she replied, "I know her very well. We are like best friends. She shares most of her plans with me."

Jason narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists. He remarked, "I see."

Isabella didn't notice Jason's grim expression. She continued to sport a huge smile on her face as she remarked, "So, bro, what position will I have in the company? I want to be the Director of Finance. We need to make sure no one is misusing our company funds." Jason arched an eyebrow and glanced at his twin sister. He asked, "A director of finance? You? With what qualifications?"

"Why do I need qualifications when my brother is the CEO?" Isabella answered cockily. "Ryan was too stingy. He wanted all the wealth to himself and never allowed me to work in the company."

"I'm afraid I wouldn't hire you as a director of finance if I want the company to thrive. Ryan was right... you don't have any qualifications, your only achievement is being a Kingsley spoilt princess, why should I risk the company's financial future by putting it in your hands?" Jason responded.

He looked at his sister and added, "Perhaps a job as a cleaner because that's the only job you're qualified to do. Otherwise, I wouldn't risk the company if I were the CEO."
