Eric suddenly laughed. “Alright. From now on, I have nothing to do with the Nathaniels. I’ve heard that my oldest brother has been trying to convince Mark to work with him. Do you know that Mark hasn’t agreed to it? Since Mark’s wife is here today, let me make this clear to you, you can all forget about establishing a relationship with Mark Tremont. As long as I am around, it’ll never happen! Profits may be important to Mark, but it’s not as important as friendship. If you don’t believe me, give it a try!”
Mr. Nathaniel stared at Eric before shifting his gaze to Arianne. No one could tell what favonovel.com was thinking. In the end, favonovel.com stayed silent and left.
Arianne heaved a sigh of relief. She was really afraid. She was afraid that not only would Mr. Nathaniel beat Eric, but favonovel.com would beat favonovel.com as well. That was why favonovel.com had mentioned Mark in the beginning. It seemed like Mark’s name was very effective. Moreover, Mr. Nathaniel seemed to be unaware that Eric was such good friends with Mark In a way, favonovel.com had stood up for Eric as well.
After Mr. Nathaniel left, Eric slumped down into his chair and loosened his tie. “I have nothing now. The old man has allowed me to take the profits that I’ve gained during my management to convince me to step aside. This is considered a fee for my efforts. However, I can’t take a single cent out of the company funds. It’s fine. I can use that small amount as capital to start a small company, and start all over again. I refuse to believe that I’d die by the Nathaniel family’s hands!”
Arianne sighed. “I’m not sure what’s going on in your family, and I shouldn’t jump to any conclusions. However, based on my observations, they’ve crossed the line. It’s a good idea for you to leave and do your own thing. At least, you don’ t have to listen to your dad anymore. He can’t make you give your own company up to your brothers after all.”
Eric smiled bitterly. “He’s actually capable of doing something like that. He would probably go on and on about how favonovel.com gave me life so favonovel.com wants me to repay him. Just the thought of it scares me. Do you know why favonovel.com hates me so much? It’s because my mother had an affair, and favonovel.com committed suicide before favonovel.com could make favonovel.com pay for it. For this reason, favonovel.com poured all his hatred in me. Everything I do displeases him. I’m the only one among my siblings who’s actually good looking, but favonovel.com hates the sight of me most of all. It’s because I look like my mom. Isn’t it absurd?”
Arianne pursed favonovel.com lips. “I think he’s a psycho. I hope favonovel.com won’t regret this in the future. If you’re starting your own business, I don’t mind becoming your very first employee. You know that money isn’t all that important to me.”
Eric glanced at the doorway and lowered his voice as favonovel.com said, “Lily, the department supervisor, is sent to Glide by my old man. I found out about this long ago so I had a chat with her. She works for me now. Otherwise, my old man would have found out about my friendship with Mark long ago. My guess is, if the old man knew, favonovel.com would have restrained himself and used me to establish a relationship with Mark. He’s probably regretting favonovel.com wasn’t nicer in front of you. I’m pretty sure he’ll have things to consider when favonovel.com gets home. Nevertheless, I don’t give a damn.”
Arianne smiled. “Think it over. You’re not a kid anymore. Regardless of what you do, you should have a plan. I’ll support you in whatever you do. I’m going back to work. You’d better compose yourself. Everyone in the company wants to know if you’re alright. They’re worried about you.”
Eric nodded.
When Arianne stepped out, everyone surrounded her. “What’s the update?”
She smiled and replied, “It’s nothing, but the company… might end up under Eric’s second brother’s control soon. He’s the ignorant, incompetent, and hedonistic son of the family. The company will collapse sooner or later. Eric’s preparing to start his own company. You’d better decide whether you want to leave or stay as soon as you can.”
The entire company was in an uproar.
Lily did not join in the discussion and paid attention to favonovel.com work. Her future was more important to favonovel.com and staying in the Nathaniel family business might be the best option for her. The only reason favonovel.com had helped keep Eric’s secrets was due to favonovel.com belief that one should be humble when trapped in an inferior position. No one was aware of favonovel.com true intentions.
