Seeing Bryce walk in, everyone looked at him with indifference and disgust, and no one said anything.
Bryce chuckled. He walked toward Karen and handed over the gift box he was carrying. “Aunt Karen, this is a diamond bracelet that I specially bought. It happens to suit you, so I’m here to deliver it to you. I hope you’ll like it.”
Upon hearing that he had brought a diamond bracelet, Karen, who was initially sulking, hurriedly took the gift box, her eyes bright. While unwrapping the gift box, she bragged to Bryce, “You’re here to see Cheyenne, right? Cheyenne is now the general manager of the Brilliance Corporation!”
Feeling as though his chest had been stabbed, he gritted his teeth and quickly said, “Yes, I also happened to hear the good news, so I’m here to congratulate Cheyenne!”
Cheyenne humphed coldly, not believing that Bryce was genuinely happy for her.
As expected, Bryce added, “I’m also here to relay Grandpa’s goodwill. He said that he made his previous decision too hastily, so he would like to have you guys return to the Carters. The large family villa is ready for you!”
Karen was immediately overjoyed. “Really? Is Dominic willing to let us return to the Carters? He even prepared a villa for us too?”
“Of course. Grandpa even...”
Cheyenne couldn’t stand listening to it anymore and interrupted him. “Since the Carters have driven us out, there’s no need for us to go back. You don’t need to try cajoling us with those words either. Just tell me directly. What is the purpose of your visit?”
Bryce smiled ingratiatingly. “Cheyenne, we’re family. Is there a need for this? Let’s let bygones be bygones and start afresh, alright?”
Cheyenne sneered. Let bygones be bygones and start afresh? You’re making it sound casual.
“If you came here just to say this nonsense, then you can leave. I have nothing to say to you.” She stood up.
Bryce hurriedly stepped in front of Cheyenne. “Also... didn’t you say previously that the Brilliance Corporation wants to cooperate with the Carter Corporation? Now that you’re the general manager, shouldn’t you put the cooperation... on the agenda sooner?”
Cheyenne figured it out. Bryce’s purpose in visiting was indeed as Lucas guessed.
Bryce was here to talk about cooperation, and perhaps he would even ask for more benefits for the Carters since Cheyenne was now the general manager.
Cheyenne looked at Bryce with derision. “Yeah, I did go to the Carter Corporation with the Brilliance Corporation’s letter of intent to cooperate with you previously, but what did you do? Trust you to have the cheek to come and ask me this now.”
Bryce once again felt like he had been slapped.
Bearing with the humiliation, he lowered his head and apologized in a manner that he thought was extremely sincere. “It was my fault. I misunderstood you that time. Cheyenne, I hereby solemnly apologize to you! I came here today with such sincerity because I wish to gain your understanding, and I hope you will forgive me for being a bad cousin! You can hit me and scold me all you want. I just hope you can give the Carters another chance!”
Lucas watched Bryce pretend and stayed silent.
Cheyenne clenched her jaw, feeling extremely uneasy about Bryce’s apology because she wasn’t used to seeing him lower his pride.
She had already given up on the Carters, but Bryce’s behavior made her hesitant.
It was not that his words had touched her, but the Carters were the ones who raised her after all, and there was something that she couldn’t bear to let go of.
Seeing the hesitant look in Cheyenne’s eyes, Bryce gritted his teeth and knelt directly in front of her!
Everyone was shocked after hearing the loud thump.
Charlotte, who had been standing at the side quietly, almost spat out her drink.
Karen was wearing the diamond bracelet that Bryce had given her, and when she saw this, she was so dumbfounded that she was at a loss for words.
Lucas sneered, folded his arms, and continued to watch the show.
After being shocked, Cheyenne immediately said, “W-what are you doing? Hurry and get up!”
“No.” Bryce continued kneeling on the ground, hanging his head low to hide the humiliation and indignation in his eyes. However, his voice was full of misery. “Cheyenne, believe me. I really want to apologize to you and beg for your forgiveness! Now the Carters’ situation is getting worse day by day. Reaching a cooperation agreement with the Brilliance Corporation is really very important to us. Please give us a way out on account that we used to be a family! If you don’t agree, I’d rather die here!”
Bryce forced himself to cry, and his eyes turned red.
Cheyenne was startled. “What are you doing?! If you don’t get up, I will never agree to cooperate with the Carters!”
Hearing her words, Bryce hurriedly stood up. “Fine, fine, I’ll listen to you! Cheyenne, does this mean that you agree to cooperate with the Carters?”
Cheyenne looked at Bryce with a complicated expression. “This is the last time I’m going to help the Carters. You guys better behave yourselves. Don’t do anything overboard again and just manage your company properly. I won’t go back to the family, and we don’t need to have any extra dealings from now on.”
Hearing this, Bryce became even happier. He just wanted Cheyenne to agree to cooperate and finish the task he was given. It was even better for him that Cheyenne didn’t want to go back to the family because that meant that no one would compete with him for the position of successor!
“Okay, I understand. Cheyenne, I thank you sincerely on behalf of Grandpa and the Carters! I won’t force you, but the doors of the Carters will always be open for you. If you ever come back one day, you will always be welcome.”
Even Bryce was touched by his own mushy words.
But after he left, he started to look jealous and disdainful. Hmph, as long as I’m around, that bitch can forget about coming back to the family!
Lucas stared at Bryce until the latter disappeared into the night. Only then did he look away.
Cheyenne had chosen to give the Carters another chance, and Lucas didn’t have any objections. However, if Bryce and the Carters hurt her again, they shouldn’t blame him for being nasty!
