Chapter 1569
"It was only after Grandpa had gotten Sean to take over the main business that the company has thrived. Our stock prices have risen dramatically over the past two days too. None of these seem to have anything to do with Uncle Damien, right?"
Nicole's gaze was proud and icy, causing everyone to inexplicably feel a sense of pressure.
Everett stared at Nicole. He did not think that Nicole, who was just a high schooler, would have such a powerful presence about her, and so much so that even he was sweating as he stood before her.
"Wow, you sure know how to toot your own horn, Nicole." Chloe growled, having lost her patience. "What did you mean when you said that the rise in stock prices has nothing to do with my dad? Most of the company's businesses were managed by my dad."
Sean glanced at Chloe. ’You're nothing but a woman shameless enough to show her face after being kicked out of the family, and you dare mock my little sister?"
As he thought about it, Sean tossed all of his regard for Chloe out of the window. "Keep quiet if you're not aware of everything that has been going on in the company. The rise in stock prices within the past two days is because we've successfully secured a business with the royal house of Yamenia. It has nothing to do with Uncle Damien's earlier businesses."
"You!" Chloe glared fiercely at Sean, but she had no way to refute his statements, as everything he had said was true.
Everett gnashed his teeth, and even if he wanted to speak up for his parents, the truth was that they had achieved very little. He really hated how poor his father's capabilities were, causing him to be criticized wherever he went.
Seeing how Nicole had ridiculed Damien, Dillon felt good within, but upon realizing how strong Daniel's family was, he began to feel that he was in a crisis too.
After some thought, he stood up and said, "Daniel, what is your daughter trying to imply here? She's talking as if the seat of the master of the family would be yours! The old man is still alive and you're already trying to fight for the position? Why don't you ask him for his opinion instead?"
"Daniel did not mean that..." Gloria panicked, fearing that her husband would be labeled as an impious son.
