"Ari, what you told me before was all a lie?" Joseph asked tremblingly, "You helped Damian in the beginning, just to watch him fall... No, you were the one who dug the hole, right?" Arianna smiled mockingly, saying, "That depends on how you look at it. | dug a hole, but | planned to lay the foundation and build a tall building, and Damian insisted on snatching it. He took it, but instead of building towering structures, he continued digging a hole and then leaping into it. What else can | do?” She should not be the one to blame. It was Damian who wanted to jump into the trap. She just... did not stop him.

"Alright, great!" After hearing the truth, Joseph was completely ashamed, propping himself on the side of the sofa and slowly sitting down. "I didn’t see it coming. My baby girl, how could you be the one to deceive me?" "Dad. There‘s more for you to see!" She smiled coldly. "Over the years, I've done many things for the company. You ignored my talents and abilities and only focused on that id*ot son of yours.
Just because he’s a man, he easily got what I've worked so hard for half my life. Why? You still want me to assist and support him. Is he worthy of it? "Now that you know, he did such a thing with his pig brain. What ability does he have to take over Tanner Corporation?" "Is this why you dug a hole for him? Did you start planning when | brought him into Tanner Corporation?" It was not until today that Joseph truly understood what she said from the bottom of his heart. After a pause, he asked wearily again, "Is your mother involved?" "She wasn’t involved, but she was aware of it." Arianna no longer kept the secret from Joseph and spoke honestly, "Dad, did you naively think that two women could coexist peacefully? My mother has worked half of her life for the Tanner family. Why should she accept a b*stard to enter her family? Why should she open-mindedly accept your son born to another woman?" "But, I've not mistreated you and your mother all these years, the things you eat and use..." Before he could finish speaking, Arianna interrupted him, "It's what you should do! Dad, would you have accepted it if Mom brought a son born to another man home? Could you be open-minded and happy for him to join this family and even let him inherit Tanner's property?" "She is not worthy of it!" Joseph barked.
Even just imagining it, he felt furious. Arianna casually reminded him as she smiled, but Joseph still did not catch on to the fact that anything was wrong.

"Compare those situations. Dad. This matter is settled. You should give up!" She sat down again, picked up the teacup, and drank tea slowly.
The reason to show the truth now was that everything was almost settled, as there would be no reversals. That little b*stard should never expect to step into the Tanner family again.
