Divorced the Cheat Married the Fleet (Camilla and Lance) novel Chapter 489

The news that Darwin had transferred all of the shares to Camilla and officially named her as the next successor quickly reached the ears of Tessa and Oscar.

Darwin personally called Oscar, instructing him to take Camilla on a tour of the company the following day.

When Tessa heard the news, her face contorted with fury. She smashed two expensive vases in their living room. "What on earth is Dad thinking? It's one thing for us to give our shares to Lance, but how can he let that woman take everything? Even if Lance refuses to return to the company, you're still here! The position of executive successor has no business falling into that woman's hands."

Even though Tessa felt guilt toward Lance, it didn't mean she could instantly accept Camilla. Hearing that Darwin was handing Oscar's executive role to her left Tessa both furious and deeply anxious.

The woman wasn't even officially married into the family yet, and she was already disregarding Tessa, her future mother-in-law. If she truly took over the company, wouldn't she be walking all over her?

Just the thought of it was unacceptable to Tessa, making her feel humiliated in front of her social circle.

"Have you still not figured out the situation? Dad is doing this to help us mend our relationship with Lance," Oscar snapped in exasperation. "If she isn't acting as the bridge, do you honestly think your son would ever see you again? Don't you know how Lance operates by now? Instead of throwing a tantrum, you should be figuring out how to get on Camilla's good side."

Oscar didn't hold strong emotional attachments, nor did he obsess over status. As far as he was concerned, whoever ran The Charles Group, it was still their family's company. He frankly didn't care that much.

Tessa's expression stiffened. "I'm still her elder. You want me to actively suck up to a woman with no background and no manners?"

"Manners? Elder?" Oscar scoffed. "Do you see anyone caring about that right now? If Lance makes up his mind not to acknowledge you as his mother, then you aren't anyone's elder. As for her background, Dad just handed her the keys to the entire empire. Who in this world has the right to question her background now? Tessa, you need to wake up. Lance isn't a child anymore. You can't control his heart. You're the one begging him to forgive you. If you still insist on acting all high and mighty and making things difficult for the woman he loves, I guarantee he will never come back to you."

Oscar had laid the truth out so bare that Tessa's face burned with embarrassment. She sat in silence for a long time, unable to formulate a single argument.

The facts were staring her right in the face, leaving her with no room for denial.

Oscar patted her shoulder. "Think about it carefully. Think about whether you really want your son back. Dad told me to take her to the office tomorrow to familiarize her with the operations. If you can wrap your head around reality, come with me."

Tessa slumped onto the sofa in defeat.

Deep down, she already knew the answer.

She just didn't want to admit it yet.

Camilla hadn't expected Darwin to move with such lightning speed.
