Torn Between Love and Hate novel Chapter 141

Chapter 141 Does Deborah Know What You Were Like? 

Chandler could not stand it anymore. 

“What do you mean? I worked for Joseph for three years?” Chandler thought. 

When Joseph left three years ago, he directly said that he would not come back. 

Afterwards, Chandler naturally took over as the CEO of the Black Group. In order to show his dignity, he said at the group meeting that he was not as capable as Joseph and that he would temporarily manage the company in place of Joseph until Joseph returned. 

But he assumed that everyone knew he didn’t mean it. 

Joseph had never said that he would come back at all, and Chandler had been in the position of CEO for three years. 

The senior executives in the group had already accepted the fact that Chandler had completely replaced Joseph as the 

CEO. 

Gerald looked at Chandler, who didn’t say a word. Obviously, Chandler was too shocked. 

Jane was calmer. She quickly said, “Since Joseph is back, he should indeed continue to take the position of CEO in the Black Group. It’s just that Jingron is so big now, and Joseph is its owner. I’m wondering if he still has the energy to 

take care of the Black Group.” 

Seeing his mother talking, Chandler came back to his senses and immediately echoed in a gentle voice, “Jingron is also a big company with tens of billions of assets. It’s not easy for Joseph to manage it alone, right? If he has to take care of the Black Group as well, I’m afraid it’s a bit…” 

He thought of something and then turned to Joseph. “Of course, it’s up to you, Joseph. You can do whatever you want, and I have no objection.” 

Three years ago, Joseph left everything behind for a woman. He went to Oceanview City and stayed there for so many 

years. 

Chandler did not believe that Joseph would still want to return to the Black Group. 

He guessed that all Joseph could think about was how to be affectionate with that woman. 

Joseph glanced at Chandler with a half-smile, and Chandler suddenly had a bad premonition. 

Sure enough, the next moment Joseph said, “I’ll listen to you, Father. It’s just that something happened, and the public opinion outside is raging now. If I take over as the CEO at this time, I’m afraid it will have a bad influence on the Black Group. It’s better not to disclose it to the public. I haven’t been back for three years, so I’ll have to familiarize myself with the group again. As for me taking over as the CEO, let’s talk about it later.” 

Robert nodded with satisfaction. “Well, you are very thoughtful. You can familiarize yourself with the group for some time and show the senior executives and founding members of the group how capable you are again. After a while, the public opinion against you will be gone. Then, we’ll find a suitable time for you to take over the position of CEO and 

announce it to the public. It would be best.” 

Joseph got up and went over to pour a cup of coffee for Robert. “That’s exactly what I mean. It’s been so many years since I left. Thank you for thinking about me, Grandpa, and Dad. Deborah was right. A family will always be a family.” 

As he spoke, he poured a glass of wine for Gerald. 

Robert said solemnly, “You didn’t have such an attitude before. This time, you have changed a lot. Deborah wanted you to come back?” 

Joseph didn’t say much. He just nodded and said, “Yes.”

The atmosphere fell into a strange silence. Chandler and Jane were expecting Robert to scold Joseph. 

But Robert sighed, “Forget it, you have always been stubborn and have your own opinions. You have been with her for three years. I believe you have your own reasons for loving her. I have only one thing to tell you. Before she breaks off her relationship with Ashton Mullen, she must not enter the Black family.” 

Deborah had suffered a lot because of Ashton, and Robert knew it. 

But no matter what, Deborah was not divorced yet, and the Black family could not take care of her family affairs. If 

Deborah was not divorced, it was morally and legally wrong for her to be with Joseph. 

Joseph responded, “Okay.” 

Gerald didn’t say anything. Obviously, he had the same attitude as Robert, 

If Deborah was divorced, the Black family would accept her relationship with Joseph. 

Jane could not believe what she had heard. Resentment and anger almost made her go crazy. 

Gerald looked at Chandler and said, “Then starting tomorrow, you can take Joseph into the company and gradually 

hand over the business to him.” 

Chandler looked a little stiff. “I will, Dad.” 

Gerald didn’t say any more about it. “It’s getting late, and your grandpa needs to go to bed earlier. Just leave after dinner. Will you stay here tonight, Joseph?” 

Joseph was a little hesitant. Robert said, “The public opinion has been raging fiercely these days, so don’t go to 

Deborah for the time being. I heard that Ashton was planning to sue you. It’s better for you to avoid the attention for 

a few days.” 

Joseph agreed at last, “Okay.” 

It was a harmonious dinner. Robert had a bad appetite these years, but he ate a lot this time.
