NovelEnglishChapter 207
“Honey, I’m sorry. I just got a bit too carried away. I don’t want you to hurt yourself over being mad.”
Neil was clutching his chest in pain, so pissed off that his whole body hurt.
Yeah, this time he really screwed up. He thought his old friend who he hadn’t heard from in a while had
come by because he saw that the Pennyfeather family’s second round of funding had been successful.
And since Maja was a designer, they could work together in the future. It was like helping each other
out.
He glared at Cristina, “I bet that’s exactly what you’re thinking!”
Cristina was taken aback, realizing that Neil was genuinely mad.
Silver‘ intent was to hurt Maja. But what Cristina said sounded more like she was revealing her true
thoughts. This got Neil questioning if he was being too harsh on his daughter.
But he felt like everything he did was for her own good.
Neil looked grim as he saw Tricia coming downstairs.
Tricia looked particularly pale today, as if she had been wronged.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeeing Neil angry, she was about to cry. She instinctively wiped her tears.
“Dad, I’m sorry. Did you argue with sis because something I did caused her trouble?”
Hearing her voice, Neil’s anger subsided a bit.
Tricia had always been frail, and she was his biological daughter. He married Cristina late, which
somewhat affected Tricia’s health.
So he always felt like he owed this daughter.
Besides, Tricia was very understanding and always respected her sister Maja.
“It’s not your fault.”
Tricia breathed a sigh of relief, quickly walked downstairs, and took Cristina’s arm.
“Dad, don’t be mad at mom anymore. She’s always been worried about my health issues these years.
She may speak a bit bluntly at times, but that’s not what she really means.”
A few words instantly cooled down Neil’s anger.
But he still gave Cristina a stern look before going back up to his room.
Downstairs, Tricia looked at Cristina.
“Mom, be more careful next time. Dad is not unreasonable. Don’t get too worked up. We’ve waited all
these years, no need to rush things.”
Cristina knew she was too obvious tonight and aroused Neil’s suspicion. Seems like she’d have to
smooth things over with him later.
When they went to bed, Cristina saw that Neil was ignoring her, so she began to talk about old times.
“Darling, remember when you were just starting your career and were super busy every day. I held
Tricia and didn’t dare to disturb you. She cried every day, and one day she cried until she lost her
voice. I called you. It was raining when you came over remember?”
Back then Neil was very busy and had to take care of Maja, so he neglected Cristina
Now that Cristina brought it up, his remaining anger completely disappeared.
“I remember it. You slipped and fell while holding the umbrella for me.”
Because of this shared memory, they got closer to each other.
Cristina then took the opportunity to apologize.
“I must apologize for my careless words about Maja. I was thinking that Mr. Carnes successful
company could certainly help Maja out in the future. But I forgot that Maja is still a girl. If something
happened, it would be a huge blow to her.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNeil wasn’t mad anymore, but he added.
“It’s my oversight. When Maja is no longer mad, I’ll discuss the stock transfer issue with her. I
transferred the shares her mother left to you before, and with this incident, I plan to give her 15% of the
shares first.”
Cristina’s pupils contracted sharply, she was so mad and shocked at the same time.
15%, why doesn’t he just give the damn company to that woman?!
She took a deep breath. She knew that arguing now would only arouse Neil’s suspicion.
There’s room for change after this, so she acted magnanimous.
“Darling, it’s your company, you decide.”
Neil was completely pacified, he patted her back, “Let’s get some sleep.”
Cristina turned her back to him, her eyes filled with resentment.
Up to now, she only owned 10% of the company’s shares, she could participate in company decisions.
Tricia didn’t have any shares yet, and Glenn could only learn in the company. If Maja really got 15%,
then this family would truly have a share for Maja.
This can’t happen, she must come up with a plan immediately to alleviate Neil’s guilt and make him
completely disappointed in Maja.
