Chapter 906
Joseph thought about how Arianna had threatened his livelihood, ‘What kind of daughter would dare treat her father that way?’
Derrick shook his head and said earnestly, "Then, why did she do this? Have you ever thought about why she has such great ambitions? Also, have you seen what she has done for the company over the past few years? Isn't Ari being a bit too greedy with her ambitions? I've already given her so much. I even told her that once Damian inherited the company, she would be the first lady with power over Tanner Corporation. Yet, she’s still unsatisfied."
Derrick laughed when he heard that, "Look at you. You still don't understand what’s happening, even now. Since you feel you've given her so much, why are you letting your illegitimate son inherit the company? Why haven't you considered maybe Ari could also lead Tanner Corporation to success?
"I know there were troubles at the company over the past few days, and I've been in the hospital. I didn't bother stepping in because I wanted to see how you guys could handle it
"Look, it's obvious that your son isn't as capable as Ari. Not only was Damian's project a mess, but he also involved several perfumers, allowing himself to fall into all sorts of traps. Have you ever considered what would happen if we handed the company to him?"
What Derrick said had crossed Joseph's mind, but he deliberately ignored it. Joseph felt he had no choice because Damian was his only son. He also did not know to who else he could entrust the company.
"Well, Damian is just inexperienced. I believe he'll grow and learn from what has happened. Just give him a chance, Derrick! He’s still so young, and with his criminal record, I’m afraid it'll be hard for him to find a job elsewhere. Let him work with Tanner Corporation and learn along the way. I'm sure he will do well!’
"Oh, my dear brother, why are you still focused on Damian?" Derrick sighed, standing up to pour himself a glass of water. "I know you've always favored sons over daughters, but I didn't expect you to be so heavily biased. What about Ari? You keep saying Damian can learn, but why wont you give Ari a chance?"
"She's a girl. She'll marry into another family sooner or later," Joseph muttered.
