Chapter 718
“How dare he?! ” Eloise smacked the table hard, causing her burnt spot to hurt so much that she clenched her teeth.
However, she was not going to back down. “Although it’s just an auction, everyone brings their wives as their partners.
Won’t he be afraid of embarrassing himself if he brings that woman? Does he not care about his image anymore? How
would the outsiders look at the Tanner family if that were to happen?”
“Mom, I’ll have to be honest with you.” After a pause, Arianna said slowly, “I’ve seen men bring their mistresses to
various types of events before. Some of their wives have no influence in the family at all, and their husbands would
bring different women as their partners each time. In the past, that did not happen in our family because Dad didn’t
dare to do it, or rather, he was not interested in that. However, now...”
“What? He has the guts now?” Eloise raised her brow and rebuked sternly.
“What do you think?” Arianna tossed the question back to Eloise.

Eloise wanted to say Joseph would not dare to do such a thing even if she challenged him. However,
she could not bring herself to say those words. That was because she understood that Joseph dared to
do such a thing now!
Over the years, the Tanner family had secured their position in the industry. Since Derrick’s family was
about to lose their power over everything, Joseph could inherit all the family assets. Moreover, he had
even brought his illegitimate son back home, and his next step
would be to secure Elizabeth’s position. He had the guts to do anything now!
It was precisely because Eloise understood all the stakes in this matter that she was feeling extremely
anxious and uneasy.
“Your dad is really going to bring that woman to the auction. He’s really going to... abandon our family
and me, isn’t he?” Eloise’s voice trembled. No matter how tough she was, she was still afraid in the
face of such a problem in her life.
“It might not be such a serious problem.” Arianna comforted her mother and said, “Mom, all of us know
how much you’ve contributed to the family. Even if Dad isn’t grateful for you, he would need to worry
about all the resources and connections you’ve gained over the years. You have shares in the Tanner
Corporation as well. Although it isn’t much, Dad would definitely care about that.”
Then, she tried to analyze the situation for her mother. “As for the auction this time around, I’m not sure
if he’d bring that woman with him. It’s just my guess because I saw her buying many clothes and shoes
today, so I assumed she was preparing to attend the auction. Well, it’s just a wild guess, so I’m not too
sure about it either. Even if Dad wants to bring her as his partner, that doesn’t mean anything. It’s just
an auction anyway.”
Initially, Eloise was furious, but Arianna’s words managed to calm her down a little.
“You’re right. It’s just an auction. She can attend it since she’s so desperate for it. We’ll leave her to do

Then, she took out her phone and made a call. “Help me investigate someone.”
Arianna just watched in silence as Eloise did her thing. She was well aware that her mother had her own connections
and resources and that she would not need any help.
After making the call, Eloise finally managed to compose herself. Then, she turned to stare deep into Arianna’s eyes.
“What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?” Arianna raised her hand to touch her face, looking all puzzled.
“Ari, I realized I’m becoming more unfamiliar with you recently.” Suddenly, Eloise realized that she did not know her
daughter well, at least not as much as she thought she did.
In her impression, Arianna had always been a gentle and well- behaved girl, which is the exact image of an obedient
lady.
However, Eloise felt uneasy ever since she knew that Arianna had saved Nathaniel as well as the relationship they
had. It would make her feel uncomfortable each time she remembered this.
