But the intermediary, after eavesdropping on the aunt and niece’s conversation, found nothing suspicious. There had been no
physical contact between them. How in the world did Beverly pass on the information to the young girl??
“l indeed have no substantial evidence at hand. Whether to reveal it or not, that’s up to you to decide,” Arabella admitted honestly
and straightforwardly.
Donna smiled brightly, a smile more precious than jewels, “Do you know why | like you? Among people our age, you're like a
brilliant pearl, shining so brightly that you can’t be ignored.”
She knew that any further excuses were futile. The situation had reached this point, and they simply could not get out of here. The
outside must have already been surrounded by people.
Given the temperaments of the old man and the old lady, they'd surely have their whole family of five sent to the police office.
She didn’t want to implicate her children. Her gaze fell on Louisa, “Truth be told, | have no grudges against you. My circumstances

support.”
Louisa glanced at her, then at Jennifer and the others. Why did this sound like it was a family matter of the McMillian family??
“Are you saying that Dad should have handed the company over to my older brother?” George looked at Donna, surprised at her
thoughts.
“It's not just her,” Tomas picked up. “I think so too.”
Everyone was astonished.
“Ever since we were kids, in academics or anything else, | always outshined you,” Tomas said, turning to his brother.
Relatives would always praise him whenever they visited, talking about how capable he was and how his father would, sooner or
later, hand over the company to him.
Moreover, sold board members and shareholders would speak highly of him every tthey saw him, saying that under his
leadership, the company would surely reach new heights.
Even the private tutors tailored their lessons around shaping an excellent successor.
From childhood to adulthood, he had always believed that the company would be passed down to him—the eldest son—so he had
always been strict with himself as an heir.
“But what | didn’t expect was that three months before Dad announced his successor, you were constantly at his side. | didn’t

Tomas, usually so composed, was visibly upset by the memory.
It should be noted that, he had graduated a year before George and had started from the ground up at the company. It took him a
whole year to climb to a high-level position!
But in the end, he had to watch his younger brother, fresh out of college, take charge of the company and bechis superior!
How could he not be furious about that!!
“You took away the woman | loved, and then even tried to take over the family business.” Tomas' tone carried a hint of resentment.
Jeffery, Luna, and Cathy were all stunned. What was going on??
Cathy's eyes were wide with shock. There was a feud between her uncle and her father??
George was somewhat bewildered as he heard him bring this up, “Haven't these things already passed??”
“In my heart, it can never be passed!”
