Chapter 682
"I recently heard the news about the new project department, and you did a good job." Joseph's voice came
from the study, laced with satisfaction, "You didn’t let me down."
Outside the door, Arianna stopped and held her breath subconsciously, not wanting to alert the people inside.
"Dad, like I said earlier, I won't disappoint you!" Damian's triumphant voice could be heard from inside, and he
said confidently, "At least I graduated from business administration. Just wait and see! I’ll make achievements
that will impress all the company’s old-timers!"
Hearing his words, Arianna almost laughed out loud.
This so-called accomplished newbie was just bragging. Joseph paid for his meager college education so he
could be sent abroad to be plated with gold. Although he may have graduated as an honors student, he still
lacked the skills necessary to manage practical operations. It would require him to face the complexity of the
business, which a nerd like him would not be able to pick up in a couple of days.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNeedless to say, Joseph was over-confident in his own son. For this reason, he was able to sit through his
nonsense without batting an eye.
However, Arianna did not mind at all. If her brother was any dumber, the better she could control him.
He was a pawn in her game of chess, at best.
Damian went on to say, "Dad, I'm still a little worried. You know
the stubborn old people in the company are still biased towards Uncle Derrick. They won't necessarily
accept me in the future.
Besides, he still has a son. Are you sure that the company will be ours in the future?"
Well, he was not completely stupid. At least he knew that there were still competitors.
In fact, Arianna was a little worried about the same thing. She could handle this matter easily, but Uncle
Derrick could not be controlled very well. She had made preparations in regard to that. If that day really
came, she may have to use some extreme measures.
She was thinking to herself, but Joseph in the room replied, "Don't worry about this. Your uncle’s health
is getting worse now. It seems that he is seriously ill, but he’s just hiding it. I guess he won’t be able to
hang on any longer. As for Benedict... You should never be afraid of someone who has no ambition
and no ability!"
His voice was full of contempt and disdain, "You don't have to worry about that. Just do your own thing
and make good achievements. I’ll help you with the rest!"
Damian was very happy, "Then I can rest assured! Thank you, Dad! As you can see, I’ve contacted
Lily, the world's top perfumer.
Everything has already been prepared. We’re currently waiting for our company's first perfume to enter
the market. It ’ ill be an explosive product, and it will definitely make a lot of money!"
"Well, then I'll wait for your good news!"
Inside, the father and son duo laughed happily. Arianna's focus was on Uncle Derrick. Was he seriously ill?
How long could he stay alive?
She knew Derrick's health was not very good recently, and he rarely came to the company. Most of the affairs
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwere decided remotely. His condition was worse than Arianna had expected. Joseph knew about it but did not
tell her.
Since Damian came home, Joseph has given almost all his attention to this brat. Meanwhile, Joseph was
treating Arianna like an outsider.
Arianna had always known that Joseph had a very patriarchal outlook. However, it was not as obvious since
she was the only daughter at home. Once Damian entered the scene, she immediately felt a significantly
different treatment from Joseph. It was hard for her not to feel resentment.
Turning around and looking behind her, Eloise was standing there looking at Arianna. Arianna’s heart skipped
a beat, but fortunately she calmed down and did not shout.
She did not see when Eloise came in, and Eloise had kept silent. She gave Arianna a deep look, pointed in the
direction upstairs, and then went to the upper floor without saying a word.
Immediately understanding the cue, Arianna followed her mother upstairs lightly without disturbing the two
people in the room.
