Cathy had a sweet way with words, and after flattering the old lady for a bit, Grandmother gave in.
Meanwhile, after Daniel hung up the phone, his mood was heavy.
Amanda brought over a fruit platter. "What's wrong, Daniel?"
"The main house just called me. It's about the company. Something happened again. I heard Edward got arrested. I don't know the specifics, but they want me to go back and manage things."
Hearing this, Amanda immediately became angry.
"They certainly have it all figured out, don't they? Before, they kicked you out without a shred of sentiment. Now that there's trouble, they want you to go back and take the fall. It's ridiculous. Where in the world does it work like that? They take all the benefits and leave us with the risks. Don't be foolish—do not go back!"
Daniel held Amanda's hand. "Don't worry. I've made up my mind this time. I won't go back. Whether the company lives or dies has nothing to do with me."
"That's good. Honestly, Edward's family is really unlucky. Do you think it's karma? They fought so hard for the General Manager position, and as soon as they took over, disaster struck."
"Let's not worry about them. We aren't short of money now anyway. From now on, the two of us will just live our lives peacefully."
Just then, Daniel's phone rang again.
This time, it was the old lady calling.
"Hello, Mom."
"Daniel, is now a good time? I need to talk to you about something."
