NovelOnlineChapter 897 Chapter 897: Hackett, however, kept his smile intact. "Indeed, it was quite the display. Daniela has an uncanny decisiveness, and her strategies are nothing short of brilliant." Hearing Hackett commend Daniela sent a wave of satisfaction through Richard, his chest swelling with pride. "But..." Hackett's gaze drifted across the room, his smile slowly dimming. "Isn't she being a little too high- profile?" Richard's voice remained calm. "If she's got the talent, why should she have to keep a low profile?" "Fair enough, but she's been making moves a bit too boldly. At the end of the day, she's still just one woman. No matter how skilled she is, she should be wary of steering straight into a storm, don't you think?" "Exactly." Someone else let out a chuckle. "No matter how sharp she is, she's still just one person. Richard, I hear there's talk of Daniela possibly making amends with your son? If that's true, letgive you a word of caution. Building a company is tough, but protecting it is even tougher. Don't let her boldness put your family's future at risk." A quiet chuckle cfrom someone nearby. "We seasoned players have been keeping our distance out of respect. But if we were to move as one, do you really think Daniela could hold her ground? We've been generous to the younger crowd, yet she walks as if she's untouchable." Hackett's smile stretched wider as he noticed Richard's brow crease.

The Bennett family has already seen its fair share of hardships. You, more than anyone, know what it's like to fight through adversity. Would you truly want your son and his future wife to keep walking that streacherous path?" Richard's gaze flickered with a mix of emotions, his face giving nothing away.
Hackett leaned in, his voice smooth, coaxing. “We're extending a genuine invitation to Daniela to join our association. If she accepts, the Bennett family can caboard too. We'd be one big family. Doesn't that sound ideal? Why keep butting heads? Isn't pooling our strengths and making money together the smarter move?" Stay tuned for more gl.cöm As he spoke, Hackett poured Richard a cup of coffee, his smile stretching even wider. "Give it sthought, won't you? Can Daniela really take on all of us alone? And what's she even gaining from it anyway?" Richard inhaled deeply, his mind a whirlwind of thoughts. He wasn't sure what Daniela's endgwas, but he had to admit-Hackett had a point.
Profit was the priority. Stirring up hostility left and right wouldn't bode well for Alexander either. If Daniela married into the Bennett family, her enemies would inevitably bectheirs.
Richard's frown deepened under the weight of the dilemma.

"One more thing, Richard. I hadn't brought this up before, but since we're having such a productive m conversation today, I'll say it now. Your future daughter-in-law's strong-handed approach might start chipping away at your authority within the family."
Richard parted his lips to reply, but Hackett smoothly cut in with a knowing smile. "I get it-you don't mind. But as a father, are you truly fine with father your your son always playing second fiddle to a woman? If you and Daniela join our association, we're all reasonable men here. If any disputes arise in your family, we'd be right there to back you up, mediate in your favor. Doesn't that sound like a win?"
Hackett's words seemed to ease the burden pressing on Richard's mind. His brows slowly relaxed. "Fine. M talk to her. Daniela's taken things too far this time. We're all part of the scircle-there's no reason for this kind of hostility. No need to make life harder for each other."
