His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 888

Eloise sighed and interjected, “Your uncle is in Nate’s hands too.”

"What?!” Arianna was stunned as she looked over her shoulder. She thought about it and shook her head. “No, it can’t be.”

“It’s real, and Nate admitted it himself. Not just Derrick, but also that woman and her b*stard son. Now the company is his and has undergone an upheaval. I-I don’t even know what to say.”

Although she had not joined Tanner Corporation, she witnessed its daily growth. With her son taking it over, she felt mixed emotions now that it no longer belonged to the Tanner family.

“No.” Arianna shook her head and became pensive. “What happened at the hospital made me realize that Uncle Derrick is not an easily manipulated person. If he could patiently set up the trap and pretend to be sick with Aunt Stephanie’s help, how could an outsider take him hostage and take over Tanner Corporation so easily?”

If even Arianna had failed despite various attempts, could Nathaniel succeed just like that? She felt it was impossible. Derrick was a sly old fox, having years of experience doing business. Arianna found it hard to believe he would fall for Nathaniel’s trap.

“Well, I heard Derrick got taken away after he left the hospital. We couldn’t have expected Nate to have secret plans since we didn’t even know your uncle did. Besides, didn’t we fail to find Derrick? He has so many houses, but he’s not in any of them. Everything makes most sense if he indeed got kidnapped.”

Arianna still shook her head. “No, it’s not that simple.” After a pause, she let out a wan smile. “Forget it. Perhaps he really got so lucky. I guess I can only congratulate him from here, then.”

“Ari… “ Eloise felt guilty when she heard what her daughter said. “I will save you. I will think of a way!”

Even if she had to beg her son, she was determined to save Arianna.

“Just go. I don’t want to see you ever again.” Arianna revealed a mysterious smile as she got back up and moved away. She could not see through various things before this, but she now knew she had neglected a few facts.

‘If Uncle Derrick had planned everything, then not only was his sickness fake but so was his hospitalization and inability to oversee the business. The fact that he could get two shareholders who rarely showed their faces to see him indicated that the company was still within his control.

‘Also, is Benedict truly dead? The news about his death came from elsewhere, and nobody saw his body with their own eyes. Could it be part of Uncle Derrick’s plan? If that is the case, then Nathaniel is nothing but a bug caught on the same spider’s web.

‘He thinks he has everything under control, but he is just the target of another person, not unlike me. The game is so well-played! Derrick Tanner is undoubtedly a sly old fox, and we’ll never know who the winner ultimately is!’
