Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 543

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."

"Mom, we are both your sons. Why are you so biased? A few days ago, because of a few words from Edward's family, you stripped me of my position and even made me return my shares. I worked for that company for two years—forget that it was all for nothing, but in the end, I was swept out the door. Now that I'm useful, you want me to go back and take the blame. Why are you doing this?"

"Daniel, what nonsense are you talking about! I just said a few words, and you have so much to say against your mother? You're my son too; don't I want what's best for you? Edward is your biological brother. You're the eldest. As the saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father. Even if you have to take the fall for him to get him out, what is so wrong with that? It's your responsibility."

"Besides, Edward only took over the company two days ago. He doesn't know anything; he's innocent. In the end, this mess was caused by you; you just got out early! Is there anything wrong with what I'm saying?" the old lady asked angrily.

She hadn't expected Daniel to dare refuse her.

Or that he would have so much to say to challenge her.

"I always kept the idea of looking out for my siblings in mind. I treated Edward and Gavin well. Whatever good things there were, I let them have them. They wanted to fight for the Whelan family business, so I gave it to them. Even ten years ago, I withdrew from the family. What more do you want?"
