Unemployed Family? Hidden Tycoons Dote On Her novel Chapter 47

Chapter 47 Robert’s Request to Leave

After hearing Arabella’s explanation, the eager hope faded from Robert’s expression. Still, he didn’t press the issue. “Alright then, Dr. Macdonald. If that’s your medical advice. I’ll follow

Watching Arabella convince Robert to stay with just a few words, Matthew felt a wave of relief wash over him.

He himself had failed to make Robert listen about staying in the hospital–and yet she’d succeeded effortlessly.

Was it truly her medical expertise that had earned Robert’s unwavering trust?

Well, he supposed it didn’t matter, as long as Robert was in good hands.

Just then, Arabella’s phone chimed.

“Mr. Stewart, I’ll step outside to take this. With that, she picked up her phone and left the

TOOM.

Robert watched her go. This young woman was not only skilled but composed and reliable….

If Matthew weren’t already tied to Naomi by family understanding, such an outstanding girl would make a fine match for him.

The thought brought Naomi and the long–standing arrangement between the Stewarts and the Hamiltons to mind.

He sighed and turned to Matthew. “I asked you to have dinner with Naomi recently, and you made excuses. Did she take offense? You’re not getting any younger–it’s time to take your relationship with Naomi seriously. I’ve been out of touch while I’ve been ill. How have thing been between you two?”

Why was Robert bringing this up now? Matthew expression cooled slightly

But to avoid raising suspicion, he kept his tone even. It’s fine.

Hearing that dismissive reply, Robert frowned with displeasure. “Fine That’s all you can say after all this time? You’ve known Naomi for years

Until Robert fully recovered, Matthew could only stall. Still, he offered a piece of that truth “We haven’t actually spent much time together. My feelings aren’t really there.

family arrangement too, and we built a good life together, didn’t we?” Robert believed his grandson was just being difficult. Clearly, he needed to nudge him along.

Seeing Robert growing animated, Matthew didn’t argue this time. “Alright.”

After all, Robert wouldn’t know whether he actually followed through. There was no point in pressing the issue now–better to just appease him.

Meanwhile, out in the hallway, Arabella answered Colton’s call.

“What is it?”

“We’ve hit a snag with the divestment. Those two vultures from the Clark family have always had their eyes on the Macdonald manufacturing plant. At the first sign of trouble, they swooped in. They’re dragging out the termination process and now they’re trying to counter- sue for damages. The situation isn’t looking good for us.”

Arabella’s expression darkened immediately.

She had known extracting herself from the Macdonald family’s business wouldn’t be simple.

But she hadn’t expected the Clarks to play so dirty once the divestment was underway.

“They want a payout? They’ll get it only if I decide to give it.” If she wasn’t willing, they wouldn’t see a dime.

“I know… But they’re claiming all their capital is tied up in the joint venture with Peterson Group. If we pull out now, they’ll face significant losses. They’re demanding a five–million settlement to release us. From the way things stand, a clean exit is going to cost at least that much.”

Colton delivered the update with a headache, his tone growing more apologetic as he spoke.

Sure enough, Arabella’s voice turned chilly. “Colton, you’ve built a reputation for handling these kinds of low–stakes operators. If you can’t manage something this straightforward, what exactly are you bringing to the table?”

Colton caught her meaning immediately. “You’re saying I should apply my usual methods to the Macdonalds?”
