Her Revenge Was His Regret (Shirley and Gilbert) novel Chapter 397

Even Edward thought his mother was beyond reason.

"Mom, who told you it was some small company? It's the biggest entertainment firm in the country. Why would you pick a fight with them?"

Claire suddenly pointed at Teresa.

"It was her! That idiot made me go! She wanted the invitation, couldn't get it herself, so she sent me to make a fool of me!

"Figures she's not my blood. That stray from outside has a rotten heart! She set me up on purpose to make me look like a fool!"

Teresa immediately dropped to her knees.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Blame me. I only asked Mom to get the invitation from Sherry. With it, our company could launch successfully.

"The Campbell name would rise again! We'd hit a new high, and I could get connections and meet a lot of big shots. Otherwise, if Sherry goes and meets all those people...

"She's never been grateful for anything we did for her. If she goes to Sencia City and makes those connections, she'll destroy us. I was trying to protect this family.

"But I had no idea Mom didn't even know the difference between an office and a conference room... There were signs."

Even Claire, clueless as she was, caught Teresa's drift.

"You little bastard! You're blaming this all on me now? You were the one crying and begging me to—"

Teresa cut her off smoothly. "It's okay. Blame everything on me. If the Campbells are in real danger, we can just merge our company into Primehall.

"Dad will keep the largest share. Our old business isn't profitable anymore. It was only a matter of time. He's kept it going this long—no one else could have."

The flattery worked perfectly.

Joseph was already tired of struggling to keep the failing business alive.

"Fine. Do as you say."

The largest shares were technically Edward's. He would have to give them up to Joseph.

He'd run the company for years, built it up—how could he just hand it over?

But Teresa was the one who pulled this entertainment company together, so he couldn't say much.

Still, his dad had never run this type of company—different industry, totally different game.

It was ridiculous.

And Joseph would never let go of power.

Joseph signed all the Campbell family shares over to Teresa right away, already dreaming of being the boss of an entertainment company.

He could afford a pretty young actress, a fancy life—everything he'd ever wanted.
