Chapter 272: Strong woman like Layla
Fiona wiped the tears from the edges of her eyes and moved toward Roderick. Hugging her son, she caressed his back. "Forgive your mother. She thought you were upset about not being chosen as the chairman."
Roderick smiled. "Thanks for understanding me, Mom," he whispered and pulled away. "I drank with my friends earlier, so I would like to sleep for a while."
"Sure," Fiona said and stood up. "I am proud of you, Roderick. You have always been a great son to me. You are my everything," she stated.
"I know. That’s why I will work hard on myself to show you capable I am," Roderick said with determination.
"I trust you," Fiona said. "You should take some rest." With that, she left the room and went straight to her room. Picking up the phone from the table, she called George, her brother, who answered the call after a few rings.
"Have you made the decision to destroy Lucius’s image?" George asked from the other side.
"Yes, I have made my decision," Fiona asserted.
"Then, I’ll help you hire a good news reporter," George remarked.
"Roderick wants to improve himself. So, I have decided not to do what you had suggested me yesterday. Lucius never killed my husband, so it would be wrong to use him like just to weaken Layla. Thank you for listening to me yesterday," Fiona pronounced. She knew her brother would not like this decision of hers.
