Her Cancellation of the Engagement novel Chapter 81

Chapter 81 The Finley Family's Fight

As soon as Damian finished speaking, the private room fell silent. The Geller family and the Finley family were both shocked.

Lloyd's uncle Javier abruptly stood up and coldly said, "Dad, what are you doing? Choosing your successor is a big matter. How can you decide without discussing it with us?"

Damian glanced at him and calmly said, "Why must I discuss it with you? I started the company from scratch and worked hard for a lifetime. I don't need to discuss who my successor will be with anyone!"

The Finley family was not a century-old family. Damian had built up the company from nothing, making the Finley family the most powerful family in Reland. But only he knew how many hardships he had gone through.

But the Finley family had been declining since ten years ago. He was old and unable to keep up with the times. Because of his lacking innovation, other families had almost surpassed the Finley family.

He had long regarded fame and wealth as unimportant but must hold these things in his hands. Money was a good thing because it could keep the Finley family well-off.

The other people in the Finley family only saw the current prosperity but could not see they had begun to go downhill. When the company was about to collapse, Lloyd brought it back to life. Most people thought he was a good-for-nothing cripple and a waste, but he was a genius!

Damian had long chosen Lloyd as his successor, but the latter had pretended to be disabled to prevent others from paying too much attention to him. He had taken the initiative to announce his legs had 'healed' today. It meant the things he had secretly planned could normally work now. So, it was time to hand over the Finley family to him.

"Dad, your words are wrong!"

Lloyd's second uncle Cruz stood up unhappily and said, "You did start the company from scratch, but we have been working hard all these years. Even if you want to retire, you should hand over the company to your sons instead of Lloyd. After all, he is your grandson. It is improper!"

The other members of the Finley family echoed, "Cruz is right! How can you appoint your successor so casually? The Finley family is distinguished! You should have thought carefully about it. Your decision is a joke."

"Lloyd is ignorant and does not attempt to make progress. He is a notorious good-for-nothing. You will destroy our family if you let him take over the family business!"

"If you are determined to do this, we will divide the family property and live apart."

The members of the Finley family became increasingly angry.

Lloyd's parents, Pranav and Alivia, remained silent because they could not speak. They had taken advantage. The other family members would say they were ambitious if they told now.

And the people from the Geller family couldn't even speak either. But everyone's thoughts were evident on their faces.

Alisa's fair and delicate face was full of unwillingness! She would not have given him to Gianna if she had known that Lloyd's legs would head and that he would take over the Finley family's business. If she married him, she would have the right to manage the Finley family, and everyone would curry favor with her. But she had given him up to Gianna. So, she regretted it and felt pain in her heart, thinking she must get Lloyd back.

Old Mrs. Geller also regretted it and had never expected such a twist. Lloyd became Damian's successor, so Gianna would be the hostess of the Finley family! The position was supposed to belong to Alisa!
