The Heart Left Behind (Cole and Yvonne) novel Chapter 284

I took another step forward and sneered.

Perfect! I'd see if the Joplin family really wouldn't crumble without me.

As soon as I left, Grandma hurled a teacup to the ground. "Bunch of useless fools! What's the point of keeping you around if you can't even handle your own son?"

Dad had always been a coward. He had never achieved anything much in his career. When he was young, Grandma helped him manage the company, and when he got older, he had me.

Even though Hayden was also his son, Hayden was completely detached from the family. His interests lay elsewhere.

"This company really can't function without Cole. Do you really think your other sons are as capable as him?" Grandma said.

The fact that someone like Dad managed to have two sons as exceptional as Hayden and I was already akin to winning the lottery. Did he think all of his sons were that amazing?

Chris could tell that Grandma was shooting a veiled insult at him. He was unhappy about it, but he still tried to fawn over her, "Grandma, don't you still have me? I can help you run the company. I might not have that much experience yet, but I can learn."

"Do you think running a company is that simple?" Grandma scoffed. She had never liked Chris from the very beginning.

All of them seemed to think that she had gone senile—even Chris.

Grandma cast him a sideways glance and warned, "Don't think that letting you take up the position of general manager means I've acknowledged you. I wouldn't even have interfered in the company's affairs if it weren't for the fact that Cole has gotten too influential within the company."

Chris actually knew Grandma's intentions all along; he just never wanted to admit it.
