Chapter 1117

Did her mother think she was meddling too much? Aurora couldn’t help but wonder.

She carefully spoke up, “Madam Grace, I didn’t mean it that way. I just mentioned it to him.”

“But whether Lucas can come or not still depends on your decision,” Aurora said with certainty.

Hearing this, Grace finally felt a bit better.

“Fine, it’s nothing important,” she snorted coldly. “After all, he’s my son-in-law. How could I possibly not allow him to come?”

Aurora quickly agreed. “You’re right. I’ll tell Lucas again later.”

After all, she was her mother. A few coaxing words were no problem.

These things were what she ought to do.

Grace waved her hand. “Nothing else matters. Tonight, remember to tidy yourself up before coming over.”

“Of course,” Aurora answered seriously.

Grace was just about to dismiss her when Aurora suddenly said, “Madam Grace, I have a contract here that’s about to be signed, so I wanted to report it to you.”

At those words, Grace froze.

She looked at Aurora, her eyes widening slightly. “Bring me the contract to take a look.”

She stretched out her hand toward Aurora.

Aurora didn’t refuse and handed it over directly.

Grace took it and carefully read through it.

The more she read, the more shocked she became.

She had heard of this project before.

At first, it was that boy from the Hunt family who had been obsessed with it.

Word was, he had given plenty of gifts to the partners.

But now? The project had landed in her daughter’s hands?

Holding the contract, Grace looked seriously at Aurora. “This contract—is it really about to be signed? I see the stamping section at the end hasn’t been completed yet?”

Aurora nodded seriously. “Madam Grace, don’t worry. After the banquet ends, I can meet the partners to sign it. There’s nothing to be concerned about.”

“Good, good, good.”

Grace repeated the word several times, her face unable to hide the joy and excitement.

Aurora lifted her chin slightly. Rarely did she receive her mother’s praise.

Before, no matter what she did, the other was always dissatisfied.

Now things had changed, and Aurora still found it hard to believe her mother’s attitude toward her.

It seemed she would have to sign more of these projects in the future.

Aurora smiled. “Madam Grace, I won’t stay longer. I still have some matters to handle.”

Grace nodded repeatedly. “Alright, I understand. Go ahead and take care of your work.”

Aurora raised her brows slightly, noticing her mother’s attitude had already shifted from before.

When she first came in, her mother hadn’t even wanted to look at her properly.

But now, as she was leaving, she actually saw her off with seriousness.

Aurora thought it was truly laughable.

Was it all because of that contract?

Why hadn’t she noticed before that Grace was such a person?

Perhaps she really hadn’t experienced enough.

Aurora felt the world was indeed fickle.

Otherwise, how could just one contract change her mother’s view of her?

It had never been like this before.

Aurora shook her head and finally returned to her office.

“Rora, I’ve already taken care of it. Should I come pick you up?”

At four in the afternoon, Lucas called Aurora right on time.
