His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 805

Elizabeth was displeased by Joseph’s words, thinking he was protecting Eloise. “How is that impossible? You’re training Damian to be the successor of the company these days. She could be jealous and hold a grudge against Damian and is plotting something to destroy us! She and that model are both in the same line of work. Don’t you forget that!”

The more Elizabeth explained, the more she was convinced by her own assumptions. Then she pulled Damian into her arms and began to wail again. “We’re so miserable! My son, you’re finally going to succeed, but I can’t believe someone tried to stop you by doing all these…”

“That’s enough. Stop overthinking! Eloise is not that kind of person!” Joseph rebuked, then continued after taking a breath, “She’s concerned about the bigger picture. This isn’t just about the jealousy both of you feel but involves the entire Tanner Corporation. What good would she gain out of destroying the company? Do you think she’s that dumb?”

Elizabeth was stunned by his yells while Damian slowly tugged at her shirt. “Mom, I don’t think it’s Eloise. It should be one of our business competitors. I’m inexperienced, so the company should blame me for the mess this time! I’ll take responsibility for the problems I’ve caused.”

Initially, Damian was flustered, but at this point, with all the chaos, he gradually regained his composure. He knew he should give in and show that he could be accountable. No matter how much he agreed with his mother’s words, it was evident Joseph did not believe in them, so he found it pointless to argue further about that.

Seeing his attitude, Joseph finally felt more satisfied and nodded, saying, “The most important thing right now is not to find the person at fault but rather settle the issue first.”

“Then… what should we do?” Elizabeth had no idea how they could get through this crisis. After all, she had never been in business before and had no experience dealing with such things.

After she graduated from university, she found a job in sales and got together with Joseph not long after that. Then she chose to quit her job and relied on him for a living until now.

She was not entirely out of touch with society because Joseph was not always around. Hence, she had a lot of time to go shopping and watch the news whenever she felt bored. Otherwise, she would have no idea what was happening in the world.

“Let me think about it. Anyhow, Damian, you should stay home and avoid being in the public’s eyes over the next few weeks. If the company needs you to make an explanation to the public, you must keep an unassertive attitude, give in and apologize. Do you understand me?”

Damian nodded. “Yeah. I got it, Dad.”
