Chapter 141 Does Deborah Know What You Were Like?
Chandler could not stand it anymore.
“What do you mean? I worked for Joseph for three years?” Chandler thought.
When Joseph left three years ago, he directly said that he would note back.
Afterwards, Chandler naturally took over as the CEO of the ck Group. In order to show his dignity,
he said at the group meeting that he was not as capable as Joseph and that he would temporarily
manage thepany in ce of Joseph until Joseph returned.
But he assumed that everyone knew he didn’t mean it.
Joseph had never said that he woulde back at all, and Chandler had been in the position of CEO
for three years.
The senior executives in the group had already epted the fact that Chandler hadpletely
reced Joseph as the
CEO.
Gerald looked at Chandler, who didn’t say a word. Obviously, Chandler was too shocked.
Jane was calmer. She quickly said, “Since Joseph is back, he should indeed continue to take the
position of CEO in the ck Group. It’s just that Jingron is so big now, and Joseph is its owner. I’m
wondering if he still has the energy to
take care of the ck Group.”
Seeing his mother talking, Chandler came back to his senses and immediately echoed in a gentle
voice, “Jingron is also a bigpany with tens of billions of assets. It’s not easy for Joseph to manage
it alone, right? If he has to take care of the ck Group as well, I’m afraid it’s a bit…”
He thought of something and then turned to Joseph. “Of course, it’s up to you, Joseph. You can do
whatever you want, and I have no objection.”
Three years ago, Joseph left everything behind for a woman. He went to Oceanview City and stayed
there for so many
years.
Chandler did not believe that Joseph would still want to return to the ck Group.
He guessed that all Joseph could think about was how to be affectionate with that woman.
Joseph nced at Chandler with a half-smile, and Chandler suddenly had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, the next moment Joseph said, “I’ll listen to you, Father. It’s just that something happened,
and the public opinion outside is raging now. If I take over as the CEO at this time, I’m afraid it will have
a bad influence on the ck Group. It’s better not to disclose it to the public. I haven’t been back for
three years, so I’ll have to familiarize myself with the group again. As for me taking over as the CEO,
let’s talk about itter.”
Robert nodded with satisfaction. “Well, you are very thoughtful. You can familiarize yourself with the
group for some time and show the senior executives and founding members of the group how capable
you are again. After a while, the public opinion against you will be gone. Then, we’ll find a suitable time
for you to take over the position of CEO and
announce it to the public. It would be best.”
Joseph got up and went over to pour a cup of coffee for Robert. “That’s exactly what I mean. It’s been
so many years since I left. Thank you for thinking about me, Grandpa, and Dad. Deborah was right. A
family will always be a family.”
As he spoke, he poured a ss of wine for Gerald.
Robert said solemnly, “You didn’t have such an attitude before. This time, you have changed a lot.
Deborah wanted you toe back?”
Joseph didn’t say much. He just nodded and said, “Yes.”

The atmosphere fell into a strange silence. Chandler and Jane were expecting Robert to scold Joseph.

But Robert sighed, “Forget it, you have always been stubborn and have your own opinions. You have
been with her for three years. I believe you have your own reasons for loving her. I have only one thing
to tell you. Before she breaks off her rtionship with Ashton Mullen, she must not enter the ck
family.”
Deborah had suffered a lot because of Ashton, and Robert knew it.
But no matter what, Deborah was not divorced yet, and the ck family could not take care of her
family affairs. If
Deborah was not divorced, it was morally and legally wrong for her to be with Joseph.
Joseph responded, “Okay.”
Gerald didn’t say anything. Obviously, he had the same attitude as Robert,
If Deborah was divorced, the ck family would ept her rtionship with Joseph.
Jane could not believe what she had heard. Resentment and anger almost made her go crazy.
Gerald looked at Chandler and said, “Then starting tomorrow, you can take Joseph into thepany
and gradually
hand over the business to him.”
Chandler looked a little stiff. “I will, Dad.”
Gerald didn’t say any more about it. “It’s gettingte, and your grandpa needs to go to bed earlier. Just
leave after dinner. Will you stay here tonight, Joseph?”
Joseph was a little hesitant. Robert said, “The public opinion has been raging fiercely these days, so
don’t go to
Deborah for the time being. I heard that Ashton was nning to sue you. It’s better for you to avoid the
attention for
a few days.”
Joseph agreed atst, “Okay.”
It was a harmonious dinner. Robert had a bad appetite these years, but he ate a lot this time.
It was Jane and Chandler who finally had nothing more to say. They were almost silent the whole time
and kept gritting their teeth.
After dinner, Gerald helped Robert upstairs, who went to bed.
When Joseph was about to go upstairs to his bedroom, Jane stopped him. “Joseph, your brother and I
have something to talk about with you.”
Gerald and Robert were no longer there, so Joseph turned around without hiding the disgust on his
face.
“Stop talking to me like that. It’s disgusting.”
Chandler said gently, “I know you have prejudices against my mother and me. But we have lived
together for so many years. We have long been a family. Maybe we should have a good talk and clear
up some misunderstanding.”
“Misunderstanding?” Joseph sneered.
“Chandler, you’re so hypocritical. Let me tell you the truth. I didn’t n to return to the ck Group, but
you shouldn’t have revealed in front of the media today that Deborah is the designer Ynda. I will
definitely not let you get away with it.”
Chandler’s face froze. Joseph walked a few steps closer to Chandler and looked down at him in the
wheelchair.

You are no match for me, but since I left three years ago, I have had no intention of fighting against you
again. Since you want to make things difficult for me with Deborah, then I’m here today, and it is your
fault.”
Joseph chuckled lightly, “Just wait and see, I’ll take the time and y with you from now on.”
After that, Joseph turned around and left.
Chandler’s voice suddenly came from behind him. “Does Deborah know what you were like before?”
