Arianna had settled her matters with Noah, but she still felt uneasy. She had not found the perfumer or Damian yet, and there was the issue involving Derrick.
She would have an even harder time if he had a will. Stephanie might look weak, but she was ambitious and would make a fuss about it.
Arianna squatted before Eloise and said earnestly, "You’re the only one who can deal with this, Mom. Aunt Stephanie listens to you. You must ask her to hand over the power and shares Uncle Derrick has. Otherwise, it‘ll be difficult for me to gain a firm foothold in the company."
"You said your uncle wants to write a will?" Eloise asked after some thought.
"Yeah."
"He’s keeping his guard up against us." Eloise paused and thought for a while before continuing, "How was your uncle's physical condition the last time you visited?"
“He wasn’t doing too well, but the doctor managed to resuscitate him. I didn’t expect him to survive.” Now that Arianna thought about it, she could not help feeling regretful.
‘Why didn’t he just die? I wouldn't have so much trouble if he did.’
"Don’t you think you’ve made a mistake, Ari?”
"What do you mean?"
Eloise patted her daughter’s head, “Firstly, since your uncle's physical condition is already in such a state, you should take better care of him and prevent irrelevant people from disturbing his recuperation. How can you let the two directors bother him?
“Secondly, your aunt Stephanie has always been in poor health. How can you let her work so hard? You should let her rest more instead of taking care of your uncle. You can hire a caregiver instead.”
