His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 872

Arianna was amazed as she connected the dots. She was not Derrick’s initial target but still got caught in the massive web her uncle had weaved. He had been planning this since the beginning.

‘He’s a sly and vicious man!’

Arianna was outraged. “Mom, it’s fine if Uncle Derrick was genuinely ill, but if not, it’ll all be over for me.”

Eloise could see the disappointment in Arianna’s eyes. She lovingly held her daughter’s hands and said, “Don’t worry. I won’t let anything happen to you as long as I’m around. Don’t forget that the Tanner Corporation’s president position is still waiting for you, and you will inherit the family’s business!”

“Yes, you’re right! I’ll be the sole successor to the Tanner family business!” Arianna said with determination. However, she knew that even with her mother’s help, she would not be able to inherit anything as long as Derrick was still alive.

“Mom, even if Uncle Derrick wasn’t sick, it doesn’t mean we can’t take other measures.”

“What?”

Arianna smacked her lips and decided against it, “Never mind, it’s nothing. We’re still unsure of the true situation, so let’s wait and see.” If Derrick was healthy, she could always make him sick. Since he loved to pretend he was sick, Arianna would ensure he got to play the part forever.

There was no one home when the mother-daughter duo returned, which only deepened their unsettled feelings. Joseph did not even go home these past few days, so he was most likely at Elizabeth’s.

Eloise honestly did not care about his whereabouts as they had confronted each other. She had already given up hope for this man and could not care less about him. However, things were different now as it involved her daughter’s safety and the whole family’s. She needed to call Joseph back to discuss matters with him.
