NovelEnglishChapter 229 Resigning Elsa set the book aside and lowered her head as if she had something difficult to say. Before anyone could speak, she slowly began. "Since everyone is here today, I want to share sgood news." I raised an eyebrow, already suspecting that the news wasn't really going to be good. However, Jack seemed intrigued. He tossed aside the gift Eric had given him and asked eagerly, "What's the good news?" His voice was soft and sweet, almost as if it could melt the air around it.
Elsa blushed slightly and stole a glance at Eric before saying softly, "I've resigned from Cornell Group." She cleared her throat and then said more seriously, "Now that Jane has divorced Jeremiah, staying in Cornell Group would only invite unnecessary gossip." I scoffed. "Really? So, you're not going to see Jeremiah anymore?" Elsa's face flushed with discomfort. "Jeremiah and I are still friends..." Seeing the awkwardness in the room, Mom quickly stepped in to ease the tension. She moved closer and took Elsa's hand with a loving smile.

If you had stayed in their company, things would just be awkward. Just stay at hwith me, Elsa. Our family can support you." At those words, Elsa's expression changed slightly. It was clear she didn't want to stay at home. She looked over at Jack, her eyes silently pleading for help.
Jack immediately spoke up. "Mom, Dad, now that Elsa has resigned from Cornell Group, it's the perfect tfor her to join Brown Group and gain sexperience." I scoffed again. Of course, that was their plan all along.
As soon as Jack heard my reaction, he shot a glare at me. "What do you want to say now?" I slowly replied, "You know exactly what I'm going to say." Then, I turned toward Elsa and said clearly, "If you think Elsa should join the company, I don't agree." Upon hearing this, Elsa's eyes were filled with tears, and she seemed as if she was about to break down in distress.
Knowing he couldn't sway me, Jack turned directly to Dad. "Dad, Elsa has already resigned from Cornell Group. Can we arrange for her to join Brown Group? Can't we help her get sexperience at Brown Group?" Dad looked troubled. Seeing my cold expression, he shook his head. "It's not that simple to just place someone in the company." He turned to Elsa and said with sincere concern, "Right now, there isn't a position in the company that suits you. Since we can support you at home, why not just stay with your mother for now? I was surprised that Dad actually refused Elsa's and Jack's request. A small sense of relief surged within me.
At least Dad and Mom weren't blindly supporting Elsa. Otherwise, the Brown family would eventually be ruined by her.
Elsa didn't expect Dad to step in and block her from joining Brown Group. She lifted her head, looking hurt.

She looked like she was on the verge of tears, but after a long pause, she nodded slowly. 'll listen to you, Dad. I'll stay at hand spend twith Mom." She forced a strained smile. "It's been a long tsince I've spent twith Mom properly. I guess this is a good opportunity." Her hands were secretly clenched into fists, but she tried not to show her true feelings. Dad didn't notice Elsa's conflicted emotions.
Seeing that Elsa had agreed, Dad looked relieved and still tried to öm comfort her, saying "Once there's a suitable open position in the company, I'll consider letting you join." Instantly, a glimmer of hope appeared on Elsa's face.
I watched her thoughtful expression and sneered. As long as I was here, om Elsa joining the company was nothing but a pipe dream. I wouldn't give her the chance to destroy Brown Group.
