Chapter 330: Chapter 329: Leaving Ho with Nothing
“Your house?” Amanda Leaford laughed at Daniel Thompson, her eyes full of disdain, “Daniel Thompson, do you have no sha? If it weren’t for my family helping you expand Thompson Group, you wouldn’t even be able to afford a house. My parents were the ones who helped you, and now it’s turned into you helping them?”
Back then, the Thompson family was only a dium-sized enterprise. After Amanda married Daniel, the Leaford family helped the Thompsons a lot in their business. Amanda even used her own experience to triple the Group’s profits in the first year.
Although she fell ill later, Thompson Group would have had a hard ti becoming the richest man in Capital City without her efforts in the beginning.
“Amanda Leaford, if Daniel paid for the house, that ans he owns part of it. This is legally sound, so why are you resorting to moral kidnapping?” Phoebe Belmont chid in unapologetically.
Daniel’s property might beco her own, so she had to fight for her future interests.
“Who are you to interfere? I’m talking to him, not you.” Amanda finally turned her attention to Phoebe, “You’re just a mistress who can’t be seen in public, only picking up what others don’t want.”
Phoebe’s eyes reddened in grievance, and she turned to Daniel, “Daniel, she actually said that you were sothing she didn’t want…”
Amanda smiled gently, “I haven’t even said anything, and you’ve already associated your dear Daniel with being ‘sothing.’ Is your Daniel a thing?”
“Of course not!” Phoebe blurted out, only to realize that she had fallen into Amanda’s trap.
Seeing Phoebe trip up, Molly Walker shook her head slightly, “Miss Belmont, you should be interested in Mr. Thompson for his personality, not his money, right?”
“Of course.” Phoebe lifted her chin arrogantly, “I don’t want money, I just want to live my life with Daniel.”
“In that case, you wouldn’t mind if he left with nothing, right?” Molly said with a knowing smile.
“Leave with nothing…” Phoebe hesitated.
She did like Daniel, but she had never thought he would leave with nothing. She had imagined that Amanda and her children would move out of the mansion, and she would move in. She hadn’t considered any other outcos.
“Seems like you’re not just seeking the person.”
Phoebe glanced at Daniel and saw his inquisitive expression, her heart skipping a beat.
She gritted her teeth and quickly said, “I love Daniel, and even if he leaves with nothing, I won’t care.”
After she finished, she looked at Daniel affectionately.
Phoebe’s heart raced, as she was certain that Daniel wouldn’t really leave with nothing.
Considering Amanda’s ambiguous relationship with Chase Jackson, Daniel could possibly force her to leave with nothing, if he was more ruthless.
“Well, Mr. Thompson is almost there, leaving with nothing. He just needs to leave.” Molly spoke to Amanda with a smirk, “A few days ago, didn’t his brother make him sign an agreent? It includes the ownership of Thompson Group and the destination of his personal property. The company is now in his brother’s na, and Daniel’s personal property has already been transferred to your na.”
What?
Phoebe’s face turned pale as she was on the verge of collapsing!
The company being managed by Damian was one thing, but why had Daniel’s personal property all been given to Amanda too?!
If everything went to her, wouldn’t Phoebe end up with nothing?
Phoebe’s ntal state was on the brink of collapse.
Hearing Molly’s words, Amanda was stunned.
When had the children transferred the property without her knowing it?
Molly pretended to be unconcerned as she said to Daniel, “People with dentia aren’t suitable for managing companies, let alone handling money, right? You agreed with this the other day when you signed the agreent before being discharged.”
Daniel’s face turned pale and green.
Before his discharge, his always obedient eldest son, Damian, had surprisingly asked him to sign a contract. Damian had said that Daniel’s illness had already affected the stock price, and if it couldn’t be stabilized, the company might collapse.
Although Daniel felt unwilling, he realized that being older and diagnosed with “dentia” ant he was no longer suitable to manage the company.
He thought that as long as his family could live in harmony, it didn’t matter if he handed over his financial power.
However, he had never expected that his illness would be exposed, and now he had no choice but to face it.
He had reached the point of leaving his ho with nothing, and Daniel felt suffocated, as if he couldn’t breathe.
Seeing him like this, Phoebe finally knew the answer in her heart.
He had actually signed such a thing…
Amanda laughed, her eyes squinting into crescents: “You were after him, weren’t you? Now that you have him, get out of my house.”
Phoebe’s face turned pale, and Daniel was infuriated.
Amanda had always been gentle and soft-spoken before, never having said such harsh words to him.
He wanted to say sothing more, but Phoebe tily pulled his arm: “Daniel, let’s go out first. I have so things to say to you too.”
Daniel paused his movent, giving Phoebe a cold glance.
Right now, persisting would only do him more harm. Amanda might imdiately drag him to a divorce.
Daniel obeyed and left with Phoebe, but this only made Amanda feel even more disgusted.
As they left the Leaford house, Phoebe tactfully let go of Daniel’s hand and whispered, “Mr. Thompson, did we overdo it just now?”
“No,” Daniel’s face was certain. Seeing her reddened eyes, he spoke softly, “I’m sorry you had to go through that.”
“It’s fine,” Phoebe forced a casual smile. “As long as I can help Mr. Thompson.”
“You helped, and I’ve learned her attitude.” The coldness in Daniel’s eyes deepened.
He had sought Phoebe’s help to test Amanda’s true feelings, but now it seed she genuinely disliked him.
“I actually don’t understand why she chose Chase Jackson. You are clearly better than him…”
Phoebe hesitated, and seeing Daniel’s expression softened, she asked softly, “Where are we going now? Should we keep waiting here or…?”
“I’ll wait here for Damian, while you go back first.”
He had lost his wife, but he mustn’t lose his son or else his care in old age would beco problematic.
“Alright, I’ll be leaving first then. Mr. Thompson, you can call anyti if needed. Besides, she’s angry right now. You better let her cool down a bit. If you’re really waiting for Mr. Thompson, you can wait at the coffee shop outside.”
Phoebe’s voice was gentle and earnest. Daniel thought for a mont and looked at the skyscraper not far away, an idea flashing in his mind.
It was said that this was a famous skyscraper in Capital City, nearly a hundred floors, and the top floor had a well-known coffee shop called Skyline Cafe & Roastery.
Looking at Phoebe’s expectant gaze, Daniel thought for a mont: “Let’s have a cup of coffee together.”
Right now, Amanda was furious. It might be better to let her calm down a little.
He didn’t want a divorce, and he wouldn’t divorce Amanda.
At this ti, Grace Harrison had arrived at Cloud Nine Café. The café’s employees saw Grace and their faces turned sour one after another.
What was going on? Wasn’t this Miss supposed to not be an intern anymore? Why has she co again?
Seeing the waiter approaching, Grace took the hint and coughed: “I’m just here for so coffee today.”
After speaking, her dark round eyes started searching for Damian.
Soon, she noticed a familiar figure sitting by the window.
She walked over quickly and saw a woman sitting with Damian.
The woman was dressed in a decent suit, her hair done up in a bun, both pure and cute.
Grace stopped in her tracks, instantly recognizing this student as her school’s campus belle, Vivian Wilson. She ca from a wealthy family and was once an object of Grace’s envy.
Not only was Vivian academically excellent, beautiful, and from a well-off family, but she was also gentle, the kind of girl that even Grace herself liked.
She glanced at her reflection in the window, even though she had dressed up carefully, sothing always seed to fall short.
Seeing Vivian and Damian chatting and laughing, Grace looked at the shirt in the bag and suddenly lost all her courage.
Returning the shirt now would be quite abrupt, right?
