Spoiled By Mr. Russell By Luminous Night Chapter 653Chapter 653 Last month, Derrick said he would be traveling for business.He was away for several days and had just returned.
Was he gone again already? He had been going back and forth so frequently recently that Joseph had lost track of him.

While Joseph still desired his mistress to join them, he had not made concrete plans for her.
"Yes!" Arianna was surprised, "Didn't you know?" "How would | know? | haven't seen him recently,” Joseph lightly snorted, then asked, ‘By the way, do you know what Derrick has been busy with recently? Does the company have any major projects? Why is he always traveling?" The truth was that Joseph was entirely unsuitable for business.
Despite his ambition, he was no match for Derrick in terms of capabilities.
However, Benedict was Derrick’s only son and was not interested in doing business.
Seeing there was hope, he wanted to take the Tanners’ property into his own hands so that Damian could inherit it.

Her voice suddenly becsofter, and her mysterious appearance aroused Joseph's curiosity, "What did you hear?" She looked left and right, waved to the servant to step back, and said in her father's ear, "Actually, | heard that Uncle Derrick was in a hurry because of Benedict's affairs.Furthermore, his health was not great, so he was actually hospitalized when he claimed to be away on business.It's just that nobody talks about this because it's a secret.” "Really?" Joseph was stunned.
Of course, he was also skeptical of the news.
Being siblings, how could he not know if Derrick was hospitalized? "I don't know if it's true, but | think it's somewhere around that ballpark.The company doesn't have any big projects requiring Uncle Derrick to attend to in person recently, but he’s been traveling around several times.Uncle Derrick didn’t look so well a while back, and everyone could see that." Then Arianna continued, "There's no update on Benedict so far. Who knows? Maybe Uncle Derrick was angry and fell sick because of that." Though Joseph was still doubtful initially, he found that the more she explained it, the more reasonable it seemed.
"If it's true, then we have to consider,” he nodded thoughtfully, "Hm, I'll ask your mother to visit Aunt Stephanie tomorrow to see what's going on.If this is true, it's finally our chance!" Arianna laughed along and heard her father continue, "Then again, you must take care of your brother's affairs and make arrangements.He has to gain a firm foothold in the company as soon as possible.Do remember, helping him now is helping yourself.Soon, he'd take control of the entire family. When you marry in the future, you won't be afraid of being bullied in your husband's family because you have us to support you!" Turning his head and squinting at him, Arianna laughed and joked, "Dad, can't | be my own support?” Wrinkling his brows, Joseph shook his head, "You're a woman, so either way, you'll still depend on your family. Take good care of your brother because he'll be a part of our family in the future.” "Okay, | see," Arianna did not refute and just smiled softly.
