Chapter 244
Erica had been busy in her study room when she knew Phoebe was there. Eventually, she got
caught up in their conversation, unconsciously dropping her work and paying attention to their
conversation. Finally, she couldn''t resisting out of the study room.
Seeing here out, Ines felt embarrassed, "Mom, did we disturb you with our loud conversation?"
They were speaking a bit loud. She was so excited that she forgot Erica was busy in the study
room.
"No, I''m d to see you so happy." Erica saw Ines with a face full of smiles and felt pretty good
herself. She walked over and patted her on the shoulder.
Phoebe immediately stood up politely to greet her, "Hello, I''m Izzy''s good friend, Phoebe. You can
call me Nor."
Erica looked at Phoebe and suddenly realized, "I remember you. You''re thedy from the Wagner
family. I remember someone tried to set you up with Ethan, but he was already married to Izzy, so it
was cancelled."
Phoebe nodded and said generously, "Auntie, you have a good memory. It was indeed me. I
nned to introduce Izzy to Ethan, but they were already together."
Erica sat down on the sofa, "It seems fate is something destined."
"Yes." Phoebe smiled and said.
"I just heard you guys talking about Izzy''s childhood. Was she really such a troublemaker?"
"Mom." Ines looked at Erica shyly, looking like she was coy.
knowing they had a good mother-daughter rtionship, Phoebe got the hint and said, "She was
mostly normal, just asionally a bit mischievous, and when she was, everyone would have to
suffer with her."
"I guess I don''t have to worry about my grandchildren being bullied. Their parents are not to be
messed with," Erica said happily.
"Auntie, you can rest assured that will never happen."
Erica looked at Phoebe, who was generous and proper, and couldn''t help but say, "Nor, do you
have a boyfriend now?"
Phoebe was taken aback, then shook her head, "Not yet."
Hearing this, Erica became interested, "I have a guy here. Would you like to meet him? He''s much
like Ethan, definitely a good choice."
Ines was amused. It seemed that older people were particrly keen on these things, and even
Erica was no exception. She knew without thinking that Erica was referring to Aaron Swanson.
Receiving a plea for help from Phoebe, Ines whispered something into Erica''s ear, and Erica
immediatelyughed, "So Nor has been spotted by Noel Yates. That boy has good taste this time.
I''ll have to praise himter."

Phoebe was somewhat shy, "That''s his business. I haven''t agreed yet."
Ericaughed happily, "Noel has met his match this time. Women should make men work a bit
harder. We can''t always let them get us easily. Let them know we''re not easy to get. They''ll cherish
us more."
Ines looked at Erica with a glum face, "Mom, then I''m at a loss. Ethan didn''t even chase me much,
and I just easily married him."
Seeing Ines able to joke around, Erica knew she had epted the fact of Hunter''s departure. So
she was in a good mood and keptughing.
Phoebe said gleefully, "Izzy, who told you to be so impulsive? It''s toote to regret it now."
Ines hummed lightly, "I have no regrets. I''ve always been happy."
Phoebe looked at Erica with a wounded expression, "Auntie, some people just love to torment us.
Single people. It''s too much."
The living room was filled withughter. Ines''s phone rang at that moment. It was Ethan calling to
say that Shirley had gone to thepany with awyer, demanding to inherit all of Hunter''s
property. Ethan asked her to stay at home. He woulde to pick her up and go to thepany.
Erica also heard Ethan''s words and frowned, "Shirley is really shameless. Instead of stabilizing the
Galeana Group at this time, she went to thepany with awyer. What on earth is she thinking?
Does she have no brain?"
Ines also frowned slightly. Only then did she calm down and think about a problem. Hunter was
already dead. Even if she wanted to help him manage the Galeana Group, it wouldn''t be easy.
Shirley would definitely try to obstruct her.
Phoebe couldn''t resist saying, "She''s always been a bad one. Her whole purpose in getting into the
Galeana family was for the inheritance. It''s just her style to stir up trouble at this time."
Ethan arrived soon, and Ines had already changed her clothes and was waiting for him. When Ines
got in the car, she asked Ethan about the situation, "What''s going on? What does she want?"
"She wants the Galeana Group''s shares."
Inesughed sarcastically, "Her? If she takes over thepany, it will be bankrupt within a year."
"Ss was busy dealing with branch affairs this morning. His phone has been busy. I can''t contact
him for now. I left him a message asking him toe back as soon as possible to see if your dad
had any arrangements for thepany before he died. If he did, it would be easy to deal with, if
not, things would definitely be difficult." Ethan''s expression was also heavy.
Seeing him like this, Ines felt more worried.
In the chairman''s office of the Galeana Group. Emma was dealing with some urgent matters when
she was suddenly called into the office by Shirley. She felt a bit annoyed, "Mom, what are you doing
in the Galeana Group? Didn''t you see that the Galeana Group''s stock price is already falling? What
mess are you here to add now?" Her intuition told her it wasn''t anything good.
"I''m not here to cause trouble. I just want to get what''s rightfully ours. Haven''t you noticed? Ethan''s
been hanging around the Galeana Group these past few days. If he keeps this up, where does that
leave us in the Galeana Group?" Shirley disagreed with Emma''s point of view, growing more
disillusioned by her actions.
Emma''s voice wasced with fatigue. One hand on her stomach, the other massaging her temples,
"Mom, I''ve been busting my hump these past days, doing my best to keep thepany''s image
steady. Things are just starting to stabilize today. Can''t you wrap your head around the current
situation?" "This can''t be put off any longer, the sooner it''s resolved, the sooner I can have peace of
mind. I need to get hold of your father''s shares today." Shirley brushed off Emma''s words.
