Revenge On My First Love novel Chapter 473

Chapter 473 I Trust In My Younger Brother

"Lily, don't worry. Rashad may have to work overtime these days. Have a good sleep. Everything will be fine after he's on track."

After the Old Riley finished, he turned back to his bedroom and went to bed.

Lily clenched her fists. What a tricky rival Drake was!

When Rashad came back, he had been fatigued. As he found Lily was still waiting for him, he asked, "Mom, why are you still up?"

"I'm just waiting for you."

"You don't have to. I may come home very late in the coming days."

"How is your plan?"

"Mom, there's no hurry."

It was true.

"But Drake..."

It seemed reasonable that Drake gave lots of work to Rashad to familiarize himself with the company business, but in fact, Rashad was doing all the work of an assistant.

Although it was a bit tiring, Rashad did learned something from it.

"Mom, I know why he did so. On the one hand, Drake wants to behave well in front of Grandpa. On the other hand, he doesn't want me to go to Sophia. It's not a big deal. I can handle it."

Everyone said offending Drake was the last thing they would do. Thus, Rashad had prepared a lot before he came back.

Naturally, the battle between him and Drake was still difficult for him.

Now that he had made up his mind, he would never give up.

"Please make time for rest."

"I will. No worries, Mom. I gotta go to sleep now as I should go to work early tomorrow."

Lily felt distressed for him, but she knew he had to experience these phases.

For many days, Rashad worked hard from morning to evening, while Drake was free every day and went to see Sophia at his leisure.

Then rumors started to circulate that Drake was hypocritically treating Rashad well, but Drake was actually afraid that Rashad would fight with him for the property and thus exploit Rashad.

The other voice said that Drake didn't allow Roman to join the company because he was afraid that his power would be taken away.

Everyone began to be suspicious of Drake. They wondered what type of person Drake was and if he was capable of being the president of the Riley Group.

Although Drake didn't want Sophia to hear the rumor, she eventually found out about it. Of course, she knew it wasn't true, but she couldn't allow the matter to get any worse.

"You'd better not come to see me if there's nothing important."

Drake looked at her, smiling, "Do you dislike me?"

"No. You've heard about the rumor, right?" asked Sophia.

Drake was relieved to know Sophia made the suggestion out of concern for him.

"Sophia, if I don't treat Rashad in this way, there will be some other rumor. For instance, 'Drake is wary of Rashad and doesn't offer him any job' or 'Drake seems to allow Rashad join the company but actually seeks for a chance to throw him out.'"

Sophia never thought of these.

She didn't think of it in that way.

"So whatever I do, there will be objections. Now that I can't avoid them, I might as well ask him to do more work so that he's too busy to bother you. Don't you think that's a good idea?"
