“I know, you were frightened today, and don’t believe what I said. So, tomorrow I will have someone divide half of the company shares under your name ” Samuel Richardson stared at Emma Smith seriously while smiling, “However, there is one condition.”

“Today, we have definitely offended the Jenkins family. To make amends, we could only send you back to Jerry Jenkins’s bed ”

Emma’s face turned pale, her fingers clenched into fists.

Back to Jerry’s bed? What did they think she was? A plaything?

“As long as Ivy Thompson intervenes and vouches for us, Mr. Jenkins won’t be able to do anything to us. You know what happened to Leaford family, right? The ‘W’ organization went all out to save their company. Now our family is also in danger. As long as you can save the company, I can give you half of the shares in my name first.”

“I believe that if you ask for help, Ivy will definitely help you.”

Samuel smiled confidently.

Today, Ivy had already deterred others by helping Emma in front of so many people. However, that was not enough. He needed the assistance of the “W” organization, and even more, he needed to cooperate with them.

Seeing Samuel’s confident look, Emma’s lips curled up coldly, and she lowered her eyes: “I’ll try.”

Seeing her obedient, Samuel sighed with relief.

If force didn’t work, he could only try a softer approach. In this world, nobody dislikes money. Sure enough, a single share has captured his daughter’s obedience.

Samuel smiled as he looked out the car window, suddenly his face changed and instructed the driver: “Stop.”

Phoebe Belmont was standing on the street outside the car window, pushing a box, trying to hail a cab in a pitiful manner.

During rush hour in Capital City, there were hardly any vacant cabs.

One car after another whizzed past, none stopping for her.

Phoebe was disheartened. She became more upset as she recalled being kicked out by Daniel Thompson.

Ever since Daniel pretended to be sick, her chances of meeting him decreased, and she even lost her job. Although Daniel had clearly dismissed her with compensation for years of service, the amount of money was not even enough to buy a bag he gave her.

The more she thought about it, the angrier Phoebe became.

“That skank Amanda Leaford ”

If it weren’t for Amanda, she and Daniel wouldn’t have ended up like this.

At that moment, a car finally stopped in front of her. She looked up and saw Samuel.

“Mr. Belmont, are you trying to hail a cab? Do you want us to give you a ride?”

There was still a distance to go before she returned to her residence. Without much thought, Phoebe smiled at Samuel: “Thank you, Mr. Richardson.”

It was only after getting in the car that Phoebe realized there were others inside.

Seeing Phoebe, Emma unconsciously shifted to the side.

A while ago, the scandal between Phoebe and Daniel was all over the news, and she didn’t have a good impression of this woman who broke up other people’s families.

“Mr. Belmont, did you just come from seeing Daniel?” Samuel smiled with a meaningful expression.

Phoebe and Daniel’s affair was well known to everyone in Sunnydale City.

Without hiding anything, Phoebe admitted with a forthright smile, “Yes.”

“I heard Daniel has developed Alzheimer’s. Who would have thought that a former competitor on the Business Battlefield would suffer from such a disease?” Samuel lamented.

Alzheimer’s

Mentioning this disease made Phoebe angry.

What Alzheimer’s? It was nothing more than an excuse for Daniel to evade responsibility, acting like a fool in front of Amanda. What an idiot.

“I heard that the Thompson family is now under the control of Daniel’s eldest son, Damian Thompson. Because the successor’s news was released early, not only did the company’s share price not get affected, it even skyrocketed.” Samuel said enviously.

One couldn’t deny that Daniel was lucky. When he was young, he married Amanda and gained the support of the Leaford family. He had a talented son and even the highly-regarded Ivy Thompson. Daniel was truly a fortunate person.

Upon hearing that Damian Thompson had taken over the Thompson Group, Phoebe Belmont’s expression became somewhat dazed.

If Damian took over, would her future be any better?

He was Amanda Leaford’s son, and with a little scheming, she might not even get any compensation.

If Daniel Thompson was still in charge, out of guilt, she would have at least received a generous compensation. But if Damian took over the company

Phoebe Belmont grew more and more anxious as she thought about it.

Samuel Richardson continued to make small talk: “It’s a real pity, dementia is not easy to cure.”

Phoebe Belmont suddenly scoffed: “Dementia? Ha, that’s just what Daniel Thompson wants people to see.”

Samuel Richardson, sensing some gossip, quickly asked: “You mean, he’s not sick?”

“Yes, he’s not sick.” Phoebe Belmont took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and when she opened them, she made a desperate decision, “He’s faking the illness to reconcile with that woman and his family.”

Phoebe Belmont clenched her teeth, her heart aching terribly.

What was she still hoping for?

Daniel Thompson made a choice while he was pretending to be sick.

He chose Amanda Leaford and his son.

But she had already given her heart, and now Daniel Thompson wanted to back out. It wouldn’t be that easy.

Daniel Thompson, you’re afraid of others knowing you’re faking the illness, right? Well, I will expose you and make it impossible for you to keep this act up.

When you’re abandoned by your entire family, you’ll look back at me.

Phoebe Belmont closed her eyes tightly, suppressing the tears that threatened to spill.

The atmosphere in the car suddenly became awkward and strange.

Samuel Richardson and Emma Smith couldn’t recover from the news.

Daniel Thompson faking his illness?

Emma Smith was especially shocked but then thought it could be possible.

Before this, Daniel Thompson had favored Gillian Thompson and even took her to the Chamber of Commerce’s event, praising her in front of so many people, only to slap her face hard later, making her unable to save face.

Feigning dementia was a way to save some dignity.

“Mr. Belmont, are you joking?” Samuel Richardson was a bit slow to react, “How could a company boss think of faking dementia  ”

“He had no other way, his reputation was all gone. There was no other method besides feigning illness to recover some face.” Phoebe Belmont thought of how Daniel Thompson believed in fortune-tellers, and she let out a weak laugh.

The richer people are, the more they believe in these things. They don’t believe their wealth is earned entirely by themselves, there’s also an element of luck, so they’re always afraid that their luck will be taken away by fate, making them believe in fortune-telling and metaphysics without a doubt.

If it weren’t for the fortune teller’s interference with Daniel Thompson’s judgment, maybe his relationship with Ivy Thompson would not have turned out this way.

Phoebe Belmont’s words made Samuel Richardson’s heart surge, excited beyond measure.

This was huge gossip!

Samuel Richardson looked at the equally stunned Emma Smith, thought for a moment, and smiled at Phoebe Belmont: “I don’t know if Mr. Belmont will be free tomorrow.”

Phoebe Belmont thought for a moment and nodded: “I’ll be free tomorrow morning.”

She was about to lose her job at the Thompson family. She had to work hard for a new job, and the Richardson Tower would be a great choice.

“Let’s meet at Tengjude tomorrow then.”

After sending Phoebe Belmont to the hotel, Emma Smith had already edited a message on her cell phone.

“Ivy, do you know the truth about your father’s illness?”
