Chapter 158 Unshakable Trust

Finished

“You’ve called me Grandma for so many years. Our bond goes beyond blood. You’ll always be my grandson. no matter whose child you are!” Iris said firmly.

“Everyone makes mistakes when they’re young. Maybe your mother and father never should have married. But I’ve always been satisfied with her,” she continued. “She might have a fiery temper, but she’s kind at heart and reasonable.

“I’ve always approved of her-treated her like my own daughter. Your parents had no feelings when they married. He’s been abroad all these years, and we’ve lost touch. Neither of my two sons ever cared about

“It’s you and your mother who’ve stayed by my side. Your companionship over the years means more than anything. Blood doesn’t matter to me. As long as you’re willing to call me Grandma, I’m content.

“As for the company, I’ve thought it through. I don’t trust anyone else with it. It will stay in your hands. I’ll help you deal with Harold and Donna.”

After careful consideration, Iris had made her decision. She’d known Peyton for too long-trusted him more than anyone. Their years of affection meant everything.

“Thank you for trusting me, Grandma,” Peyton said sincerely. “Even if you’d asked me to leave, I would have handed the company over to Harold without complaint

His devotion was unwavering. It was their mutual consideration that made their bond so strong.

True character showed in difficult times-and they both had proven themselves.

“I know you would,” Iris said. “But do you think I could trust them with the company? They’d run it into the ground within a year.

“The whole world is waiting to laugh at us right now. But we can’t fall apart. We need to show everyone that we stand together!”

People had already been gossiping about their engagement. Now with this scandal, Donna had spread the news far and wide-claiming Peyton wasn’t a Reed and demanding he leave the company.

The board of directors was questioning the situation. But they’d never accept Harold running the company either.

They faced countless challenges-problems that could be solved overnight.

“Don’t rush,” Iris advised calmly. “This won’t be fixed in day. First, we need to stabilize the company internally. Then we’ll address the outside doubts.”

Iris remained composed. She had years of experience handling crises. Even in her old age, she couldn’t bear to see the company, her lifelong legacy, fall apart.

“Grandma, as long as you let me stay, I’ll find a way to fix things. I’ll make the company better than ever.” Peyton promised.

“As for Harold-I’m willing to give him some company enefits. After all, he’s your only son now.”

Peyton chose to compromise. He didn’t care about the money or power-only about Iris.

Iris looked surprised, then sighed deeply. “Peyton, I never expected you to go this far. You’ll always be my grandson. Don’t put any pressure on yourself. Ignore the gossip.
