Chapter b67 /b

Since you’re done handing over, just leave. No need to stick around, Liam said as he strode past, the sharp dicks of his feather shoes onl unpleasantly in the hallway

Grace couldn’t have asked for better. She immediately went to the board to report in, ignored anyone trying to stop her, packed her things, band /bof let the Cole Group.

Meanwhile, Daniel received another call from the board.

George said, “Liam doesn’t even understand thepany’s current projects and still has the nerve to say Gibson Group can rece Saxon Group!

He’s already lost several major cotiorations, Everyone else is pulling overtime, and he just clocks out at five on the dot, refusing to stay!”

George was so furious he was shouting and mming the table, his face red and his veins bulging

George continued, “We paid a fortune to recruit Grace from overseas to support Aria, Liam forced Aria out with that divorce–we let that go.

“When Grace resigned, we begged her to stay another month to help Liam. And he just kicked her out if he wasn’t your grandson, we wouldn’t even consider him qualified to inherit the Cole Group!”

Daniel, proud of his bones, hated being looked down on. But under these circumstances, he could only swallow his anger.

Daniel said finally, “I’lle to the office tomorrow and train him myself if he can’t meet the board s standards, I’ll no longer meddle in the heir matter.”

Hearing this, George softened his tone and said ba /bfew kind words about Liam before hanging up.

For the next week straight, Liam worked under Daniel’s watchful eyeb, /bpulling overtime every night to finish all the materials the board had prepared.

Without any decent rest, Liam looked absolutely drained, like he’d aged several years.

“Grandpa, you didn’t push Aria this hard. Why are you picking on me?” Liam muttered.

Daniel kept a stone–cold face. “Because she was smart and hardworking. If I hadn’t seen her potential, do you think I would’ve agreed to that marriage?

“She barely started and already resolved thepany’s crisis, secured multiple partnerships, and convinced the board to back her if it weren’t for your crush on that girl from the Gibson family, I wouldn’t have to be hery teaching you now.”

Liam froze, confused. “Was it really Aria who fixed thepany’s problems? I thought the board tolerated bher /bbecause she was Mrs. Cole.”

bDaniel /bscoffed. “That bunch of old fossils won’t even acknowledge you. You think ba /btitle like ‘Mrs. Cole‘ could bmake /bthem bow their heads!”

Aria’s talent and abilities were so exceptional that even Daniel had to admit it.

Still, Aria couldn’t stand Liam keeping another woman. That little jealousy made Daniel doubt whether she could achieve greatness in the future.

Daniel

btossed /ba book onto the table. “Here. This is something Aria used to study.”

Liam opened it and blinked in shock. “it’s… all in Erennian?”

The pages were filled with notes too–also in Eregnian. Liam recognized her handwriting a little messy but still readable from the time they signed the marriage license.

“Grandpa, didn’t Aria never go to school?” Lian asked.

Daniel shot him a look like he was the dumbest map alive. “You think someone without an education could lead ba /bbpany/bb? /b

“Could even understand this level of technical Erennian? bThat /bgirl’s no ordinary woman”

Thu,zy May:

Aria’s pride and independence made her hard to control. That’s why Daniel had made her sign a prenup before handing her Cole Group’s future

Now, with the Saxon and Cole families estranged, Daniel figured maybe it wasn’t a bad thing to push Liam hard and see if he could finally grow up

Daniel said sternly, “Whatever she managed to do, you must be able to do too. Don’t embarrass me in front of the board!“

After Daniel left, Liam wandered into Aria’s old office and found another book from Erennd, filled with more handwritten notes.

‘She even knows Erennian?” Liam bwas /b

stunned. Aria had hidden far more skills than he ever imagined.

As more key employees resigned one after another, Daniel called for ba /bshareholders‘ meetingb, /b

“Aria still holds shares in Cole Group. Inform her she needs to attend,” Daniel ordered.

After getting the call, Aria soon received a message from the chief assistant. [Ms. Saxon, after you left, a lot of employees resigned too.

Mr. Cole thinks you’re behind it. He called this meeting specifically

y to make things hard for you. Please be careful.]
