A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 2961

Although Fred had now suffered quite a bit of loss, he was determined to find the culprit and propel the company to greater heights one day.

"Okay, I got it. I'll definitely do my best to get to the bottom of it," Larry promised. He knew that Fred wouldn't be able to hang on for much longer considering his current condition, and Della was reckless at times, so he had no choice but to help in the matter.

"As for Della, I can only apologize to you on her behalf. You'll hear no complaints from me no matter how you want to handle her in the future. It's indeed time to teach her a lesson. I'm afraid that I won't have the opportunity to educate her anymore, so Larry, I implore you to treat her like a sister henceforth," Fred beseeched.

He was a reasonable person, so he naturally understood Larry's feelings. Love couldn't be forced in the first place, so there wouldn't be any positive outcome no matter how hard one party tried if the other party didn't feel the same.

"You'll definitely recover, Mr. Duff. Didn't the doctor say that there's still a high possibility of recovery?" Larry hastily countered.

Truthfully speaking, he was a tad reluctant to part with the elderly man.

It was indeed a great honor for him to meet such a venerated elder in the intricate business world. Alas, that pleasure was almost all but extinguished by Della.

"I'll be undergoing an operation shortly. I'll be able to live longer if the operation is successful, but if otherwise, then I'll be entrusting Della and the company to you."

Of course, what Fred meant by that was only having Larry manage the company in trust until Della had matured and grown stronger.

"Don't say such a negative thing, Mr. Duff. Don't worry about the company and Della. Just rest at home, for I'll handle everything for you," Larry avowed, patting himself on the chest.

As Fred looked at the man in front of him, a smile finally bloomed on his face.

Why isn't he out yet when it's been so

long? Anxiety gripped Della as she stared at the study upstairs. It must be an exceedingly serious matter. Otherwise, why would Dad talk to him for such a long time? What exactly happened? And why is Dad keeping me in the dark?

Tilting her head, she plunged into deep contemplation as a faint sense of dread pervaded her.

At long last, the two men walked out of the study after what seemed like an eternity.
