My Mommy's Brave Heart novel Chapter 79

George’s judging gaze was fixed on Dew.

She felt a shiver run down her spine, and it creeped her out.

It was the first time she had found George more terrifying than Duke.

She bit her pale bottom lip before she slowly said, “George, is there some kind of misunderstanding? Adina and I are sisters. No matter how much I hate her, I wouldn’t kill her. I—”

“Mom, since I’m asking you, it means I already know something.” George walked down the staircase and firmly said, “I just want to hear it from you. Why do you want to kill her?”

Dew had never felt that frightened before.

Even when Duke spoke indifferently to her, he never stared at her in that manner.

Why would a four-year-old kid have such a menacing power?

She suppressed her fright before she slowly said, “George, it wasn’t me. I’ve never thought of hurting Adina, but your grandfather can’t tolerate her…

“George, do you know that Adina forced your grandfather to give away 25% of the shares? Since then, Adina became Daugherty Corporation’s third shareholder. She has management rights in Daugherty Corporation. She’s back because she wants to exact revenge on the Daugherty family. If Daugherty Corporation falls into her hands, she’ll manipulate it until it goes bankrupt.

“Your grandfather built Daugherty Corporation from the ground. How could he stand to see it being ruined? So, he asked me to find some people to kill Adina. George, I’m not as vicious as you think. I only did it for your grandfather’s sake. I’m sorry. I made a mistake. George, can you forgive me?”

George squinted before he stared at her in an unfriendly manner. “You mean, Grandpa wants to kill his own daughter?”

Dew nodded hard and said, “Actually, your grandfather didn’t want to, but Adina forced his hand. George, if you can help us get back those shares that she’s taken, your grandfather will stop.”

George frowned deeply.

He walked away and sat on the couch. His demeanor was imposing, which made him unapproachable.

A few minutes later, he coldly said, “The conflict between Grandpa and Adina isn’t related to you. Besides, I hope that you won’t commit another vicious crime like you did today. If you do it again, don’t blame me for not accepting a murderer as my mother.”
