Chapter 828


    While he said it, he took her hand to p his face.


    Eloise yanked her hand off with a frown.


    "Do you think we’re still kids? Joseph Tanner, let me be frank with you.I’m indeed upset about your


    mistress and son because no woman on earth is willing to share their husband with someone


    else.Being someone who’s been around, I’m able to see the big picture and know what should take


    precedence.Do you think I''d do anything that could damage thepany''s interest out of jealousy?"


    Thoroughly convinced, Joseph started to massage her shoulder as he said, "Yes, my dear wife, you’ re


    right.I’m an idiot and an * sshole for suspecting you and Ari.


    "However, Derrick and Stephanie are upset and refuse to give us what we need.What should we do?


    We can''t just force them, right? I tried to see Derrick, but Stephanie stopped me.I wonder if she’s trying


    to take control of thepany."


    "Are you stupid?"


    Eloise looked at him.


    "After so many years, don’t you know what kind of a person she is? Is she up to the task even if she


    intends to do so? She’s not CEO material! If she’s holding back, she must be hoping to strike a bargain


    with us.To me, she’s easy to deal with."


    She analyzed the situation from her own self-interest.She knew about Arianna having gone to meet


    Derrick, but she had not expected that Stephanie, who was usually so gentle, would refuse to give


    Arianna the seal and even drive her away.


    Even Joseph suffered a simr fate today.


    Eloise started to ponder, ‘ With her husband seriously ill and her son likely dead, the woman must know


    there''s no use holding on to thepany''s control.


    Nobody would take her seriously even if she knew how to run apany.


    Stephanie must be holding on to thepany as a bargaining chip to ensure she’d be taken care of for


    the rest of her life"


    "I think you’re right!"


    Nodding profusely, Joseph admitted that his wife was better than him at managing interpersonal


    rtionships and understanding how people think.


    In these matters, Eloise was indeed better than Elizabeth.


    "If so, would it be better if you go talk to her?" иσν???вσσк.￠σмJoseph asked tentatively.

    "If we can get the seal, the passcode to thepany’s safe, and the keys, then the Tanner Corporation


    will truly be ours!"


    "Ours?"


    Throwing him a sidelong nce, Eloise chuckled.


    "Will it be ours or your precious son’s?"


    "There you go again!"


    Since she had said what was on his mind, Joseph let out a dryugh in embarrassment.


    "Don’t worry.No matter what, I won’t mistreat you and Ari."


    In other words, he still nned to hand thepany over to his precious son.


    Having been with him for so many years, Eloise knew how he was, and there was no way to change


    his deeply rooted prejudice.


    "Save it until we gain control of thepany, and don’t get ahead of yourself!"


    "Yes, yes, my dear wife is right!"


    He smiled ingratiatingly, no longer upset as before.
