Chapter 1278
“Shut up!” Tessa shouted. “I’m talking to my mother–who gave you the right to butt in?”
“You shut up too!”
Grace’s chest tightened at her daughter’s arrogant, unruly attitude.
She never would have imagined that the well–behaved, sensible daughter she thought she had raised had unknowingly turned into such a shrew.
“I’ll say it again–this is the company, not a place for you to throw tantrums.”
Grace drew in a deep breath. “Look at yourself right now. Do you still resemble the heiress of the Walton family? If people see you like this, won’t you be ashamed?”
Grace had run out of patience with Tessa.
“Am I really the one embarrassing us?” Tessa shot back, pointing at Jason.
“I’m the heiress of the Walton Corporation, yet he dares to talk to me like that. Isn’t he the one who went too far?”
Though Grace’s patience was worn thin, she knew if no one yielded, this argument would never end.
And she had no interest in dragging it out further.
What was the point?
The company was short on capable hands–no one could afford to leave now.
“Enough, Jason.” Grace turned to him with a weary tone. “Just apologize to Tessa.”
She could see there was no other way. Someone had to back down, and the only choice was to wrong Jason. Hearing her words, Jason’s hand clenched tightly at his side. “Understood, Madam Grace.”
He then looked at Tessa and offered a sincere apology.
