Spoiled by Mr. Russell
Chapter 596 Nodding severely, Derrick agreed, âYouâre right. I thought the same, so I didnât stop your father.â
Arianna fell silent. She would liave suspected that Derrick was not being genuine if she were not in the Oakley mansion in front of her uncle, who had watched her grow since childhood.
âYouâre different from me, Uncle Derrick. No matter what my dad does, I must support him because Iâm his daughter. Youâre the head of the Tanner household, so I thought you would disagree with my dad to protect the familyâs reputation.
âThe rumors are pretty disturbing too. My soâcalled brother is relatively young, so what will the company employees and shareholders think if my dad allows him to join the company? Will even more rumors appear? Iâm worried about our familyâs reputation.â Arianna sighed and continued, âI know I shouldnât talk too much about these things, but as a family member, I must consider our familyâs reputation. My dad was a little too impatient this time!â
She looked anxious and worried as she spoke. It seemed that she was genuinely concerned about her familyâs affairs. No matter what she said, the initiative was for the entire familyâs good.
âArianna, you really have grown up. Itâs nice to hear you care so much about the family,â Derrick earnestly spoke as he looked at his niece deeply.
âTo be honest, I would have disagreed with your father in the past, but my recent severe illness has made me see a lot further. Indeed, youâre right. Although your brother is illegitimate, he shares the same blood as you and the Oakleys. As for the rumors, just let it be. Our family works together, and thatâs the most important thing. Donât you agree?â Arianna almost became angry after Derrick used her words against her. She took a few deep breaths and answered, âYes, youâre right, Uncle Derrick.â âWell, I know youâre an excellent young lady. Youâll understand someday.â Derrick smiled lightly and coughed again. This time, his face flushed. âLook, Iâve been in poor health, but you donât need to stay for dinner.
Go home and send my regards to your parents. Also, try to get along with your brother. I know youâll be a good sister to him and take good care of him too.â âYes, donât worry, Uncle Derrick.â Arianna forced a smile and stood up. âThen I shall take my leave.â
The only response to her was a burst of coughing.
Arianna suppressed anger as she left the Oakley mansion and glared back coldly. She knew Derrick was getting old and confused. Iâve been lighting my whole life, and now heâs asking me to give up and get along with that brat?! That old man is on his deathbed already!â
She took a tissue and wiped her nose in disgust to wipe off the contaminated air she had just inhaled.
Then she threw the tissue away. Since her uncle was not on her side, she had to think of other ways to get what she wanted. In short, the Oakley could only belong to her by any means necessary.
Chapter Stu âMr. Tanner, Arianna left.â
Derrick nodded and picked up the cup on the table to sip his tea. His eyes slowly opened, and a brilliant light shone in them, albeit not as bright as it once was. âBring me the phone.â
