It was all filth ugly truths buried beneath the surface of a wealthy family.
<b>The </b>secrets within these kinds of households were never meant to see the light of day.
And Arnold knew that all too well.
He nced at Grace sitting on the couch and fell into his own thoughts.
No one could truly guess what Grace was thinking now.
Sometimes, even she didn’t know what was going through her mind.
Getting thepany to where it was had taken everything she had
But the mess it had be was also thanks to those wolves and jackals circling around.
They all waited for their dividends yet schemed to seize even more for themselves.
To be blunt, if she hadn’t been the one to build thispany from the ground up, none of this would even exist
There’d be no profits to fight over.
She would let those people sit at home and wait.
They were nothing but freeloaders.
Did any of them have the brains to create apany like this?
Now that her health was failing, her mind wasn’t as sharp either.
But their ambitions had only grown more ruthless, far beyond what she could control.
Fortunately, Aurora had ruled with an iron hand, securing two major projects back to back and keeping them in check.
There was no way she would hand thepany to that lot of people.
Letting Tessa try instead still offered a glimmer of hope.
Grace gripped the armrest, her expression shifting between dark and unreadable.
No one could tell what she was feeling.
She just hoped Aurora would recover soon.
Only then could they truly reim control of thepany.
The moment Tessa stepped out the door, she was overwhelmed with joy.
She hadn’t expected Grace to let go so easily.
Compared to before, it was like she’d be apletely different person.
Tessa had thought she’d need to give Aurora another dose of the drug.
She figured it would take more time.
But now, she had secured the position of acting general manager so smoothly.
She wasn’t that far from taking full control of thepany.
As long as Aurora didn’t wake up, she could stay right where she <b>was</b>.
Chapter <b>542 </b>
Once <b>she </b>fully understood thepany’s internal operations, so what if Aurora woke up?
<b>The </bpany would already be hers.
<b>Tessa </b><b>had </b>nned all of this from the beginning.
Excited<b>, </b>she called Julian. “Julian, our n is more than halfway done. Now all you have to do is keep Aurora in check.”
Julian, who was with Lily at the time<b>, </b>saw the call from Tessa.
At first, he didn’t want to answer.
But <b>then </b>he thought of their recent n and picked up anyway.
After all<b>, </b>between Lily and Tessa<b>, </b>the more important one was obvious.
Lily was a woman, while Tessa represented an empire.
Julian knew exactly where his prioritiesy.
His parents had been pressuring him constantly, and the sooner he married Tessa, the better.
Besides Tessa had offered him far too much to ignore.
With that thought, he answered the call even faster.
Lily noticed and her gaze darkened slightly.
Julian shot her a warning look, then focused on Tessa’s voice through the phone.
His heart raced with excitement–did this mean their wedding day was drawing even closer?
