Sean Kerr turned around, his face ashen as he looked at Rona Muir, his eyes filled with embarrassment.
"Sorry, I was careless." Sean Kerr gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go and convince my family."
"That's Mr. Kerr's business. I won't get involved." Rona Muir smiled at Sean Kerr. "Take care, Mr. Kerr. I won't see you out."
Sean Kerr clenched his jaw, turned around, and strode away.
Watching Sean Kerr's departing figure, the smile at the corner of Rona Muir's lips slowly faded as she sat back down.
She reached out and rubbed her face hard, finally relaxing her tense muscles.
She used to think that stories about rich mothers showing up, handing a check to get rid of their son's girlfriend, only happened in TV dramas.
She never expected such a thing would actually happen to her.
Rona Muir could only give a bitter, helpless smile.
She hadn't expected that on this business trip to France, she'd run into Sean Kerr's mother—a wealthy socialite—at a party.
Mrs. Kerr clearly knew who Rona Muir was. She immediately invited Rona out to meet, and casually handed her a check for a hundred million, demanding that Rona leave Sean Kerr, insisting that Rona's background wasn't good enough for him.
Rona Muir immediately told Mrs. Kerr that she had no intention of clinging to Sean Kerr. Instead of warning her, Mrs. Kerr might be better off keeping an eye on her own son—that would probably be more effective.
Although she hadn't lost face in that confrontation, Rona knew she and Sean Kerr probably weren't meant to be.
The Kerr family was an old-money dynasty, with deep roots and power.
Odyssey Corporation was just a toy, a company the Kerr family threw some money at for their son to play with.
To put it bluntly, Sean Kerr was still the young master of a powerful family.
And she was just the daughter of a regular university professor—how could she ever measure up to a family like the Kerrs?
So maybe keeping things distant between the two of them was for the best.
Thinking this, Rona Muir couldn't help but let out a soft sigh and dialed Cecilia Gu's number.
Cecilia Gu had just finished talking with Charles Yin when she received Rona Muir's call. "Where are you?"
