Chapter 748
Suddenly, the words of Gabriella popped into his head.
“To me, FreshBite’s past fifty years have been a roller coaster. Whenever FreshBite is on the brink of life and death,
Ms. Alyssa is always involved. This time is no exception, sort of a perfect ending.”
Brodie Brandon channeled her, passing these words on to Alyssa Brandon.
Growing up, Alyssa worked with her father and no matter how well she performed, she rarely received praise.
“Don’t get cocky just because you pulled this off. Stay humble!”
“Alyssa, you’re a girl. The family wealth will go to your brother. Stop chasing useless pursuits.”
“No matter how successful you are, the family business still belongs to your brother!”
“Don’t show off your abilities outside. It will make your brother feel a lot of pressure and others will laugh at us,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthinking our family’s men are inferior to women!”
Even on her father’s deathbed, she didn’t hear a single word of affirmation from him.
Others saw her as a woman who didn’t marry or have children, but instead fought in the business world, managing
companies, seemingly shameless.
After all these years, all she ever wanted was recognition.
“Did Gabriella teach you to say all these?“, Alyssa knew her nephew too well, she knew he wouldn’t say something
like this.
Brodie grinned smugly: “They were all words of praise for you. It doesn’t matter who says them.”
“You really found an interesting savior,” Alyssa thought back to the things she had heard about Gabriella.
She didn’t need to verify Gabriella’s private life now, as one interaction was enough for Alyssa to see Gabriella’s
character.
“Auntie, how about you keep working for the company for another decade or so, then contemplate retirement?“,
Brodie patted Alyssa’s hand.
Alyssa would love to go back to the company and make a difference.
But…
“I almost made a huge mistake…” Alyssa lowered her eyes, “Brodie, I’m getting old, my mind isn’t as sharp as
before.”
“You just trusted Patrick too much. What mother wouldn’t trust an obedient son? It was just a lapse in judgment, it
has nothing to do with age. Everyone makes mistakes, right?”
At this point, Brodie seemed to remember something.
Slapping his thigh, he said: “Right, like when we were picking the planning team, you should know Bane Corporation
was also involved!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlyssa’s attention was drawn to this topic; she looked up at Brodie.
Brodie gave a bitter smile: “The person who came was Olivia, who was rumored to be with Wayne. I thought the
Jared Group was not as good as Bane Corporation and Wayne in the country, even though I really wanted Jered’s
investment. To please Wayne, I even tried to make Ms. Whaley happy for a while. And now? Wayne is married to
Gabriella! Olivia was fired, left the country, and returned to her ex–husband…”
He said it like he was telling a story.
Alyssa was amused, she hadn’t laughed so heartily in a long time.
Brodie seized the opportunity to continue: “We all make mistakes, that doesn’t mean you’re incapable, don’t worry.
Tomorrow, I’ll give you a day off to get custom high–end clothes, and pamper yourself with manicures and such.
The day after tomorrow happens to be the next quarter’s shareholder meeting, you need to appear beautiful and
fashionable.”
“You cheeky boy, are you making fun of me?” Alyssa held back a laugh, giving Brodie a glare before lowering her
head to say, *Rest assured, if I make a mistake after returning to the company, I won’t trouble you. I’ll leave on my
own!”
