NovelEnglishChapter 684 "Mom, try not to lose your cool. That woman's moment of triumph is fleeting at best. She’s not deserving of the title of Mrs.
Tanner,” Arianna said, her gaze growing intense. Eloise was startled.
"Arianna, what are you going to do? Don't touch her. You know how your father is.” Using her own resources, Eloise could have dealt with that woman, but if she touched her, Joseph would find out. She was so kind in front of him for many years, but all her patience was in vain. She did not want to risk losing everything just because of asmall matter. Just like Arianna said, she should bear with the anger for a while. The final victory was to have dominance over the Tanner family. The winner of the battle was still unknown.
"Mom, don't worry. Of course, | won't do anything. However, only fate can decide what happens.” Arianna smiled lightly, took a sip of wine, and then seemed to remember something.
"By the way, Mom, is Uncle Derrick not feeling well recently? You and Aunt Stephanie are relatively close. Have you seen Uncle Derrick lately?" Shaking her head, Eloise said, "I've been there twice, but Aunt Stephanie kept saying that Uncle Derrick needed to rest. She sent our regards to him, but | haven't seen him in person. Why?" "It's nothing. | just heard Dad say that Uncle Derrick doesn’t have much tleft." It seemed that even Eloise did not know about it, proving that what Joseph said was likely true. Why hide it if it was not at least somewhat accurate? “What?!" Eloise was taken aback, "No way! If that's the case, the Tanner family and company's affairs must be arranged as soon as possible. However, | checked the living room earlier, and it seemed silent!" “Maybe they're not ready to make arrangements yet?" Arianna said meaningfully, Mom, is Benedict not back yet? | heard that he disappeared? " "Is that what your father said again?" Arianna shook her head, "No, | heard it from my friend. He said Benedict was missing, which was why Uncle Derrick becseriously ill. It seemed that he was going south of Middle Valley to find something. After that, they lost contact. Uncle Derrick secretly sent someone to look for him, but there was no news. It's very likely that..." Rubbing her neck with her hand, she continued, "Maybe that was the reason that triggered Uncle Derrick’s health. Since you went there recently, did you notice anything different with Aunt Stephanie?" How could her expression and words show any flaws if that was the case? It was impossible to have no emotion at all. After thinking about it carefully, Eloise frowned, "When you put it that way, that does remindof something. Aunt Stephanie's health hasn't been great. She rarely went out for many years, but it seems she’s been going out more frequently recently. Moreover, | heard she’d occasionally visit the company and meet with directors. As for Benedict, she didn't mention anything..." "Maybe Derrick is really running out of time?" Eloise’s hands trembled in shock, and the red wine in the glass splashed out.
"If that’s the case, then your father will act faster. Arianna, if Damian gets his hands on the Tanner Corporation, we're finished! How could we continue to live our lives?” Arianna took her hand and said, "Mom, that little brat won't be able to make a difference. The most important thing for us now is not to deal with him, but how to win people's hearts in the company. A few of them are already on my side. There are only a few more in the top management that are difficult to handle. However, if Uncle Derrick and Benedict are out of the picture, that’s good news for me!” That little brat would not be able to stir up a storm! With his experience, who would even bother to sit on his boat? Soon enough, he would learn that the higher he climbed, the harder he would fall!
