The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 326

Chapter 326 Mom’s visit

A sophisticated and elegant woman walked into the CEO's office. She was Avery Matthews. Even though she was fifty, she took such great care of herself that she looked just over thirty, radiating a timeless beauty.

Avery, Jessica’s biological mother, was a key figure in the third-ranked Matthews family of the prestigious eight families of New York. When she was younger, she fell in love with Jessica’s father, but after Jessica was born, she left her family and returned to the Matthews fold.

Jessica's face showed little enthusiasm as Avery entered. Instead, what displayed was a chilly indifference.

"What brings you here?" Jessica asked, her tone icy.

To Jessica, this woman who had abandoned her as a child didn't warrant any warmth.

Avery rarely visited, and it never seemed to be for anything good. Jessica disliked seeing her mother; in fact, she hoped to never encounter Avery again.

"I'm your mother. Is it so strange that I want to see my daughter?" Avery replied.

Jessica scoffed. "My mother? Did you ever care for me after I was born?"

"No matter what, I am your mother! I'm here to tell you that you must go to New York next week for your grandfather's eightieth birthday celebration."

"I got it! Anything else? I have a meeting to attend."

Jessica was eager to be rid of her.

"Can’t we chat for a bit? It's been years since we last saw each other."
