Chapter 732: Prove Your Worth
Susan Stone’s expression was filled with horror, her pupils involuntarily enlarging with extreme fear.
However, no matter what Damian Knight asked next, Susan Stone refused to divulge any more, only insisting that she stay away from Summer Monroe.
"It’s fine if they don’t know that Summer has their country’s blood in her veins, but once they find out, they’ll certainly get rid of her. By then, you’ll only be more heartbroken." Susan Stone held Damian Knight’s hand tightly and said, "Son, I truly do this all for your own good. You should break it off decisively and leave her as soon as possible!"
Damian Knight remained unmoved, turning away from Susan Stone’s hand and saying, "Mom, I’ve already told you, my love for her is unwavering like a rock. If you want me to be lonely for the rest of my life, then continue to refuse to accept her."
Susan Stone’s eyes trembled, "Do you really like her that much?"
"I said, it’s not liking, it’s love."
Susan Stone closed her pale eyes.
Just then, the butler came down to report, "Young master, madam, Miss Monroe is awake."
"I’ll go see her." Damian Knight took a couple of steps and then turned back to ask, "Mom, are you really unwilling to accept her?"
Susan Stone could see the determination in Damian Knight’s eyes, she sighed deeply and said, "I’ll go up with you to see her."
...
In the room.
Summer Monroe had been sleeping for a while, and now felt her stamina had returned quite a bit, though she was still slightly dizzy when she first got out of bed.
Just then, the door was pushed open, and she saw Damian Knight and Susan Stone enter together.
Susan Stone’s face looked bad, but her gaze held a hint of change.
But she couldn’t understand what that change specifically was.
"Mrs. Stone." Summer Monroe greeted her proactively.
No matter what attitude Susan Stone had towards her, she was the person who brought life to Damian Knight, and she wouldn’t argue with her.
"Ahem." Susan Stone coughed lightly and under Damian Knight’s gaze opened her mouth to say, "You saved me, and I am indebted to you for that. So, I plan to give you a chance."
Summer Monroe and Damian Knight’s eyes simultaneously lit up.
Damian Knight was the first to speak, "Mom, do you agree to us being together?"
"Not exactly yet." Susan Stone slightly raised her chin and looked at Summer Monroe, saying, "You need to prove your worth to me within three months. If you’re worth the risk, then I’ll agree to you two being together."
"Risk?" Summer Monroe looked puzzled.
Why did Susan Stone say that being together with Damian Knight was a risk?
Susan Stone ignored the doubt in her eyes, only saying, "Remember, I’m giving you only three months to prove your worth. I won’t interfere with you two during these three months, but if after that you’re unable to prove it... then you can never see Damian again, can you do that?"
Summer Monroe clenched her fist, nodded without hesitation, "I can!"
Isn’t it just proving her worth?
Once she dealt with Henry Stanton, she wouldn’t need to hide her identity anymore, by then, Susan Stone would naturally see her worth.
Seems she needs to act quickly to handle the mess with Henry Stanton.
Susan Stone saw the resolute light in her eyes, moved her lips but ultimately said nothing, turning around with the butler to leave.
The butler followed her out but suddenly turned back, making a "thumbs up" gesture to Summer Monroe.
Summer Monroe smiled weakly and watched the butler and Susan Stone leave.
"Sadie." Damian Knight took two steps forward to support her, with furrowed brows asked, "Are you feeling better? Do you need to go to the hospital?"
