However, the chaos was only a minor issue to Willow, for her priority was to get Daniel on her side.
"Mr. Ashcroft!" She called him on the phone.
Daniel couldn't help but laugh at the sound of her voice. "The Keatons act swiftly as always."
Willow's eyes gleamed. "I'm aware of what my family has done to you, but no matter what, William was my father…"
"Ms. Keaton, I can assure you I'll move on from this incident, but the Keaton family must pay the price!" he expressed coldly.
"How so?" She smiled bitterly, knowing the thing she was most worried about would happen.
"Become a satellite family to the Ashcrofts." Daniel was straightforward. "Of course, you have a second option—witness the downfall of your family. Choose wisely, Ms. Keaton."
Willow shook her head resignedly. There was no point in choosing, as she knew exactly what would happen if she turned him down.
"From now on, we'll have to rely on your support, Mr. Ashcroft." It was a no-brainer.
Although Daniel had forcefully taken control of the Keaton family this time, it might also be an opportunity for a turning point for the latter.
Willow was very aware of the current bottleneck she faced, and what she was betting on was Daniel's extraordinary potential.
Qranross was ultimately just a city, and his willingness to stay here was only because his family was here.
That said, his future strength was promising, and what she was betting on was just that. As long as he became even stronger, the future of the Keaton family would undoubtedly be just as brilliant!
Daniel had already guessed Willow's choice. She was a smart woman and a very cold-hearted one as well, or she wouldn't have turned sides when the relationship between the Keaton family and him was at its worst.
Of course, if Willow didn't have the ability to solve her family's crisis, she wouldn't deserve to work with him.
