A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 2915

Fred thought that maybe it was about time for him to start properly disciplining this daughter of his, lest she became even more rebellious and unruly.

"I'll give you two choices. One: you'll manage the company well and expand the business instead of focusing your energy on meaningless things, and forget everything that happened here. Two: you leave the family and the company to pursue whatever your heart wishes. I will not stop you, but I will not care for anything you do or anything that happens to you in the future."

What?ls he trying to cut off our father-daughter relationship? Della stared at her father incredulously, tears overflowing before she even realized it. All because of Joan?No! I won't accept this!

"Mr. Duff, maybe you should sit down and have a proper discussion with Della about this. What she needs right now is proper rest." Larry spoke up, not wanting to see the two family members turning on each other.

HmphlHow dare he pretend to be the hero in this situationlHe's nothing but a wolf in sheep's clothing! Della harrumphed and stomped out of the office.

Fred made his way over to a sofa, sitting down on it dejectedly.

"I apologize for all the trouble you must've been through, Larry. I've always been worried about my daughter even prior to this, so I'd like to ask a favor from you..." he sighed, his tone gentle as he talked about Della.

Larry was surprised. From his point of view, there seemed to be nothing that Fred couldn't overcome, and there was no problem that he couldn't solve.

"Della is still young, and she has yet to truly understand the ins and outs of the business world. All of her prior achievements have to be credited to other people helping her behind the scenes. My health is deteriorating day by day, and I'm not sure how long I have left. If I pass away one day, I hope to leave my company in your care. Of course, you will have to give the company back to Della after she has grown up and matured sufficiently."

He sounded as if he was saying his dying words. Larry couldn't stop the shivers that ran up his spine as he watched Fred's body shake from the force of his coughs.

Has his sickness truly gotten so bad that there's no chance of recovery? Larry's eyebrows knitted together in worry.

"Don't tell Della about this yet. I want to let her enjoy her life and be reckless for a while longer." Fred got up and slowly made his way to the study. "Maybe she'll learn her lesson after my death."
