Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 866

Given Theresa's past temper, choosing not to punish Lorna was already a miracle. She usually never let grudges go so easily. But today, Theresa had shown a remarkable level of emotional stability, handling things with a completely different mindset. "I learned it from my dad," Theresa replied. "He has always treated people with grace and forgiveness. That's why Arthur is so fiercely loyal to him. At home, Dad almost never loses his temper. He's always so grounded. Since I'm his daughter, I need to start acting like it. Arthur isn't just an employee to us." "When I was little, Arthur literally risked his life to protect me. Out of respect for him, I should treat his family well. As for Lorna... maybe Dad was right. It was just a young girl's vanity that led her down the wrong path. She isn't inherently evil. She didn't hire hitmen or try to kill me. In the grand scheme of things, it was just petty drama. Why can't we just let it go and live in peace?" Logan was thoroughly impressed by her reasoning. The Chairman had mentioned that Theresa was finally growing up, and it seemed he was absolutely right. Logan also realized that Theresa was becoming incredibly captivating. The spoiled, overbearing princess of the past had truly transformed. That evening, Theresa's family and Logan sat around the large dining table, sharing a warm meal. "Theresa, I heard all about how you handled yourself at the office today. You did phenomenally well," Victor praised, beaming with pride. "Thanks, Dad. You can leave the company in my hands from now on. You've worked hard enough; it's time you and Mom enjoy your retirement." "Wonderful! This is the day I've been waiting for. And your handling of Lorna's situation... Arthur told me everything. You shocked both me and your mother today," Victor said, looking at his daughter with deep admiration. She was truly a worthy successor to the Ellington name. "Theresa, everything that happened with Lorna was honestly my fault," Diane chimed in, guilt coloring her tone. "I shouldn't have given her your old designer clothes without asking you first. It gave her the tools to go out and show off, which caused all this trouble for you. As your mother, I want to sincerely apologize." "Mom, please don't say that. It's all in the past now." "Yes, yes, it's all in the past. Come on, let's raise a glass, as a family!" Victor declared. As he drank, he looked over at Logan. "Logan, knowing you're by Theresa's side to protect her gives me incredible peace of mind. Once she settles into her new role, we'll start putting together the wedding!" At the mention of a wedding, a faint blush spread across Theresa's cheeks. Logan simply smiled gently. "Thank you, Chairman." It was rare to have such a perfectly joyous family evening. Victor, caught up in the high spirits, ended up having a few too many drinks. Back at LUMEN Studio. Elena walked into the office, and Sienna immediately handed her a financial report. "What's going on? Our revenue has taken a massive hit recently, and we're losing VIP clients." "I know. The culprit is Prism Creative Agency. They've been pushing out some incredible designs lately. Especially their new line of handbags. Even I have to admit, they're stunning." Elena frowned. "Prism? The rival company you mentioned before?" "Yeah. Take a look. These are their new releases." Sienna slid several high-resolution photos across the desk for Elena to examine. The bags were already in full production, and the intricate, clever designs of each piece were flawless. But as Elena stared at the photos, a sudden sense of familiarity washed over her. "What's wrong? Do you notice something?" Sienna asked. "Wait a second. These handbags look way too familiar. I'm pretty sure I designed them!"
