“If you can’t understand why I’m saying this, then there’s no way you can revive your business. It’s no wonder the Tanner family is still being trapped in this place.” Isabelle wiped her hands and gave me a piece of the dessert. She said with a smile, “Yvonne is the only reason why I’ve shown mercy to Scarlett and Yvette. I will never agree to let them be in charge of the Tanner family.”
“I…” Nathan looked troubled. “Is there no room for discussion?”
“Not at all.” Isabelle stood up and slammed the table. “You can only hand over the Tanner family to Crystal if you want them to still exist. If Scarlett or Yvette somehow managed to get their hands on the Tanner family, things will be done between us.”
I had never expected Isabelle’s stance to be this firm. Her tone kept increasing, and by the end of the sentence, she was basically yelling at us.
“Mom!” I shouted and held her hand, which she quickly shoved me away. She sneered, “Nathan, don’t blame me for this. You should be thanking Eve. If it wasn’t for her persuading me again and again, I’d have asked for more than this.”
Nathan kept silent for a long while before finally letting out a long sigh. “Fine. I can do that.”
“You’d better.” Isabelle sat back down in her seat. “I’ll give you three days to release a statement to the media, announcing that Crystal is the heir to the Tanner family. I promise I’ll make sure everything goes back to normal once I saw the statement, and I can give you back the project too.”
“I don’t need three days. You’ll see the statement by tomorrow.” Nathan sounded defeated.
