Chapter 827


    "Why? That’s the truth!"


    Narrowing his eyes, Joseph did not think anything was wrong with what he said.


    At least, that was what he had felt over the years.


    Letting out a snort, Eloise looked at him.


    "Oh, you’ve been great to her? Even though she had worked so hard, you refused to delegate power to


    her, and Ari has gotten to her position through her own effort! What have you given her? You only care


    about your son and n to leave everything to him.Have you spared a thought for Ari’s future?"


    Hearing this for the first time, Joseph took a second to respond.


    "She’s going to get married sooner orter! When she gets married, she’ll no longer be a member of


    the Tanner family.How could she inherit thepany?


    "I''ve told you this before, and it’s not my fault that she’s born a woman.Yes, Ari is capable, and if she


    were a man, I''d definitely hand thepany over to her.However, she’s a woman and will get married


    someday.That’s why I told you we should try to have a son, but you..."


    Eloise’s body had been affected after giving birth to Arianna, and she had been unable to conceive


    since.


    Joseph then started an affair with Elizabeth, whoter gave birth to Damian.


    Eloise tolerated them because she knew she was still thewful wife and was not powerful enough to


    go against her husband.


    But now...


    "So it’s my fault that I couldn’t give birth to a son? Just because of this, you’ve treated Ari this way,


    thinking that you’ve been fair to her?"


    "It’s the same for every family! Who on earth hands over family businesses to the daughters?"


    Thinking that he was right, Joseph snarled.


    When he saw her disappointed look, he suddenly caught onto something.


    "Oh, you ganged up with Ari to set me up just because of this?"


    "Set you up?"


    Eloise let out a derisive chuckle.


    "If you call Ari’s effort a set-up, then I’ve nothing to say.Your precious son has run into trouble, made


    you lose face, and brought a crisis to thepany.Ari has only tried to gain control of thepany for


    his and your sake!"


    Joseph was speechless.


    "Ari has been trying hard to think of ways to solve the problem, even to the point of pushing her


    uncle.But you? All you know is to me everything on her! Fine, just do so.I’ll ask her to stop bothering


    to help so that we can all be happy!"


    While she spoke, she picked up her phone to call Arianna.


    Still trying to process what she said, Joseph was stunned to see her picking up the phone and tried to


    seize it from her.


    "What are you doing?"


    "This is what you want, isn’t it?"


    She tried to hold on to her phone.


    Being stronger and faster, Joseph managed to take it from her.


    "Can you calm down? Are you trying to say that Ari visited my brother to find solutions for the

    problem?"


    "What else? Thepany is in bad shape now.Why would she bother to take it over?"


    Tears welled up in her eyes.иσν???вσσк.￠σмJoseph grew regretful.


    Seeing her reddish and swollen face, he knew he was too rash and acted too harshly.


    "El..."


    Joseph tried to caress her face, but Eloise turned it away.


    "Save it! I don’t want your sympathy."


    Embarrassed, he chuckled.


    "I’m sorry, I was being reckless.It’s my fault that I lost my temper without knowing the truth.How about


    you hit me back?"
