Chapter 805
Elizabeth was displeased by Joseph’s words, thinking he was protecting Eloise.
"How is that impossible? You're training Damian to be the successor of the company these days.She
could be jealous and hold a grudge against Damian and is plotting something to destroy us! She and
that model are both in the same line of work.Don’t you forget that!"
The more Elizabeth explained, the more she was convinced by her own assumptions.
Then she pulled Damian into her arms and began to wail again.
"We’re so miserable! My son, you’re finally going to succeed, but I can’t believe someone tried to stop
you by doing all these..."
"That’s enough.Stop overthinking! Eloise is not that kind of person!"
Joseph rebuked, then continued after taking a breath, "She’s concerned about the bigger picture.This
isn’t just about the jealousy both of you feel but involves the entire Tanner Corporation.What good
would she gain out of destroying the company? Do you think she’s that dumb?"
Elizabeth was stunned by his yells while Damian slowly tugged at her shirt.
"Mom, I don’t think it’s Eloise.It should be one of our business competitors.I’m inexperienced, so the
company should blame me for the mess this time! I'll take responsibility for the problems I’ve caused."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtInitially, Damian was flustered, but at this point, with all the chaos, he gradually regained his
composure.He knew he should give in and show that he could be accountable.
No matter how much he agreed with his mother’s words, it was evident Joseph did not believe in them,
so he found it pointless to argue further about that.
Seeing his attitude, Joseph finally felt more satisfied and nodded, saying, "The most important thing
right now is not to find the person at fault but rather settle the issue first."
"Then...what should we do?"
Elizabeth had no idea how they could get through this crisis.
After all, she had never been in business before and had no experience dealing with such things.
After she graduated from university, she found a job in sales and got together with Joseph not long
after that.
Then she chose to quit her job and relied on him for a living until now.She was not entirely out of touch
with society because Joseph was not always around.
Hence, she had a lot of time to go shopping and watch the news whenever she felt bored.
Otherwise, she would have no idea what was happening in the world.
"Let me think about it.Anyhow, Damian, you should stay home and avoid being in the public’s eyes over
the next few weeks.If the company needs you to make an explanation to the public, you must keep an
unassertive attitude, give in and apologize.Do you understand me?"
Damian nodded.
"Yeah.I got it, Dad."
"Okay then.I’ll take my leave now."
Joseph stood up, feeling mentally and physically exhausted, as if all his energy had been sucked out of
him overnight.
"Aren't you staying for dinner?" Elizabeth asked hastily.
"Why don’t you stay here tonight?"
"Do I look like I’m in the mood for that right now? This matter is urgent, and we need to settle this as
soon as possible.Do you think I can wait any longer?"
Joseph threw her a sideways glance, and for the first time in so many years, he felt that Elizabeth did
not understand him at all.
"You don’t understand anything!"
"Hey!"
Elizabeth retorted, not expecting to be scorned by him, but he had already left.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"yeah! I know nothing! You understand everything! I’ve sacrificed so many things and stayed by your
side all these years, so I would know nothing! Are you unhappy with me now? Why didn’t you feel that
way in the past?"
Elizabeth was so mad that she stomped her foot, but she did not dare to run out of the house to argue
further as she remembered his reminder earlier.
"Mom, don’t be mad.Dad’s just anxious." Damian tried to comfort her.
"Is he the only one anxious right now? Am I not feeling the same? Does he think he’s the only one who
cares for you? I care too!"
Elizabeth rolled her eyes and continued, "The both of you are on a team to piss me off, aren’t you?
Whatever!"
Damian had no words.
Derrick got admitted to a private hospital, which had a better environment than a public one.
However, the fees were naturally more costly as well.
The private hospital was on the hillside, quiet and serene.
In the morning, one could even hear the birds singing.
It would also be an excellent place for a nursing home if it were not a hospital.
All the chaos out there seemed to have nothing to do with the people here.
This place felt like paradise on earth.It was peaceful.
