    Chapter 1352


    Now Arabe finally understood why Calvin and Arlen were hell-bent on seeing her grandpa six feet


    under.


    It was all about the uneven split from years back.


    But was there a chance that Grandpa''s father saw him as more capable and fit for the job? To prevent


    a family feud, maybe he gave the others a slice of the pie but reserved the position for Grandpa.


    Andter, how did Calvin and Arlen manage to hold key positions within thepany? Was Grandpa


    just being soft-hearted, or did he genuinely trust them enough to break protocol and let them in?


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    "Pick it up," Teresa demanded, pointing at the contract and pen on the floor, her gaze icy as she stared


    down Eunice. "I don''t have the patience to y games with you!"


    “I''d rather go down fighting than let any of you get one over on me!"


    “What, you think your minions are going toe to your rescue? Our guys have surrounded the whole


    estate. If all goes as nned, even your father-inw is in our grasp."


    "You!" Rage shed in Eunice''s eyes. She wanted Teresa gone.


    "But rest assured, in the spirit of farnily, we''ll spare his life. He''s had his glory days, and it''s about time


    he got a taste of ours. Especially now that his beloved eldest son is gone. Next up, he''ll really get to


    savor the full spectrum of life. I can almost picture his heartbreak."


    Eunice lunged at Teresa, but a barrage of switchdes flew her way.


    Teresa, shaken, scrambled to her husband''s side.


    If Arabe hadn''t pulled Eunice back in time, she would have been hit by every single de.


    "You wretch!" Teresa was terrified, her teeth clenched in anger. “Bard was too busy working to


    discipline you, so today I will teach you a lesson."


    “No need to trouble yourself, Teresa"


    Suddenly, a man''s vaice cut through the crowd. All the bodyguards turned, and the elders were


    stunned to see Bard had arrived!


    He was decked out in a suit, looking as calm and collected as ever.


    "She''s my woman. I''ll handle her."


    Bard''s words froze everyone in their tracks, especially Teresa, who couldn''t believe her eyes.


    Bard wasn''t dead?


    He was still alive?


    "Bard??" The elders were in utter disbelief.


    Eunice and Arabe just slightly curled their lips, not surprised, as if they had expected this moment.


    Bard pushed a wheelchair forward, and sitting in it was none other than Darren!


    Arabe’s grandfather was not only awake but looked furious.


    "Darren??" Calvin couldn''t believe what he was seeing. "You''re awake."


    "Calvin, were you hoping I''d never wake up?"


    The icy question made Calvin''s legs turn to jelly. He hurriedly responded, "No, no, Darren, you''ve got it


    all wrong."


    “You lot are quite something. I''ve barely been out for a few days, and you''ve already started tormenting


    my daughter-inw!" Darren''s voice was strong and indignant, with an air of authority.


    "Dad!" Eunice rushed to her father-inw, squatting by the wheelchair, her voice filled with grievance.


    "I''m so d you''re awake. If you hadn''te, they would have devoured me!"


    It was the first time Arabe had seen her aunt act so coquettishly. It turned out that she had many


    facets, an interesting character indeed.


    As Darren heard his daughter-inaw''sints, his anger intensified as he addressed his siblings,


    "What are you all doing? By seniority and age, which of you isn''t older than Eunice? A bunch of you


    ganging up ona defenseless woman, I''m ashamed of you!"


    Defenseless? Arabe couldn''t help but smirk at the irony of that description.
