Chapter 292 Take Over the Family Business?

After all, Joelle was the one cashing in on all this.

Of course, she had to play the part of a refined heiress.

Troy shot her a quick look, then lowered his head and continued, “As for all of Bernard’s shares in Whittier Group, they’re to be left to his youngest daughter, Natasha.

“But she has to join Whittier Group, start from an entry-level position, and work her way up until she becomes CEO.”

That announcement dropped like a bomb.

It was as if thunder suddenly crashed in the room.

Everyone was left speechless in shock.

Even Natasha was completely floored.

Natasha thought, ‘Did I hear that right?

‘Dad actually wants to leave Whittier Group to me?

‘Am I dreaming or what?’

Joelle was in utter disbelief.

She stormed over to Troy, demanding, “You must’ve read that wrong, right? Dad would never leave Whittier Group to her. No way!”

Roxanne was as stunned. “Yeah, Troy, you must’ve made a mistake, right?”

She was still riding high from scoring a big chunk of the inheritance for herself and Joelle.

But then, out of nowhere, Troy flipped the script, and now the whole Whittier Group, shares and power, ended up in Natasha’

s hands.

She could not accept that.

Troy looked uneasy. “Sorry, I’m reading the will. If you’ve got any issues, take it up with Mr. Whittier.”

He was making it clear that this was all Bernard’s true intention.

This was Bernard’s call.

Roxanne and Joelle turned to Bernard, totally baffled.

Bernard remained composed. “Let Troy finish reading.”

Even though Roxanne and Joelle were resentful, they had to swallow their frustration and sit through Troy reading the rest

of the will.

Once Troy finished reading, he handed out a copy of the will to everyone.

Joelle snatched up her copy and flipped it open, right there in black and white, it was spelled out plain as day.

When she saw Whittier Group and all the shares really were going to Natasha, she nearly lost it.

Roxanne was absolutely livid.

She flung the will straight at Bernard. “You owe me an explanation.”

As his wife, she’d endured years of her husband keeping another woman on the side.

She was forced to watch him bring his mistress and their daughter right into her own home.

Her pride was crushed to pieces.

She’d always thought she and Joelle would get the lion’s share of the inheritance.

But now, Bernard had gone and made this outrageous will, giving the main shares and the company to Natasha, the daughter he had with that woman.

There was no way she could accept that.

“Let’s talk in my study,” Bernard said, hands clasped behind his back as he headed upstairs.

Roxanne, barely containing her fury, followed h

glare.

It was as if Sandra and Natasha had snatched away what was rightfully hers and Joelle’s.

Natasha was completely taken aback.

She never imagined Bernard, who always despised her, would actually hand Whittier Group over to her.

Something about this didn’t add up.

Natasha thought, ‘No way this is what Dad really wants.

‘This has to be another one of his tricks.’

Sandra was a bundle of nerves, panic rising inside her.

No matter how much she planned, she never expected Bernard would leave the company and all the shares to Natasha.

If she’d known things would turn out like this, she would not have swapped daughters with Roxanne.

She’d endured years of pain, being separated from her own daughter.

She wanted her daughter to grab a bigger chunk of the inheritance.

But after everything, her daughter, who ended up with Roxanne, actually got less than Roxanne’s daughter.

So all that plotting back then was for nothing.

Soon, the heated voices of Roxanne and Bernard arguing could be heard coming from upstairs.

Joelle lunged at Natasha, hand raised, about to slap her right across the face.

“This is all your fault. If it weren’t for you, Mom and Dad wouldn’t be fighting!” Joelle yelled angrily.

She looked like she wanted to rip Natasha to shreds.

But before she could get close, Collin stepped in and blocked her.

“What are you doing?” Collin snapped.

He grabbed Joelle’s arm and yanked her away.

“Collin, let go of me!” Joelle shouted, struggling to break free.

She shot him a furious glare. “Are you seriously going to let her take Whittier Group from us without even fighting back?”

She believed that Bernard was supposed to leave Whittier Group and all the shares to Collin and her.

Now Natasha took the whole thing for herself.

There was no way Joelle would ever agree to that.

Collin shrugged. “I don’t know the first thing about running a business. Letting Natasha take over Whittier Group is actually a good thing.

“At least with her in charge, I can kick back and enjoy life.”

Joelle shot Collin a look of pure disdain. “Wow, that’s all you’ve got?”

Collin scoffed. “Seriously, you think you can compete? Are you even half as capable as Natasha?”

It was not like Collin was looking down on Joelle.

Joelle had been pampered by their parents her whole life, so much that she was basically useless.

Back in school, she was always the worst in class.

Even after she started working, she was still totally incompetent.

If she ever took over Whittier Group, she’d definitely run it into the ground.

But Natasha was a whole different story.

She was a top student from a young age.

With nobody ever caring about her, she pushed herself to work harder than anyone else.

Once she started working, she was all about putting in the effort.

Collin was convinced that with Natasha running Whittier Group, the company would totally level up and reach new heights. Honestly, he was more than happy to kick back, be a board member with nothing to do, and rake in the dividends.

With Natasha out there hustling and making bank for him, he would not have to do the heavy lifting.

“Collin, you never used to talk to me like this. Whose side are you even on?” Joelle demanded, her voice full of frustration.

Back then, whenever she and Natasha had beef, Collin always took her side.

He’d even gang up with her to bully Natasha all the time.

‘What’s gotten into Collin lately?’ Joelle wondered.
