Chapter 734.
Derrick heaved a heavy sigh and looked out the window over his shoulder.
"He’s a grownup now, and there’s no way I can keep him by my side.He has his way of thinking.Just let
him be."
"No matter what, he should stay by your side now that you’re sick."
Before Joseph could continue, Derrick cut him off.
"Forget it.If he doesn’t return, then so be it.l just pretend I never had a son.I’m getting a bit tired, so you
should leave."
Joseph wanted to say something, but Derrick had already closed his eyes, looking exhausted.
The younger brother got up to say goodbye to Derrick and his wife.
"I’ll visit some other day, okay? Don’t worry about the company.I’ll manage it well."
He paused and saw Derrick’s eyes still closed as if asleep.

the elevator.
"I won’t go downstairs with you since your brother still needs me.I don’t know much about the business,
so I’m counting on you guys to put extra effort into running it, okay?"
As she turned to leave, Joseph stopped her.
"What did the doctor say about his condition?"
"The doctor says he has been overworked and has to recuperate.It shouldn’t be too...serious."
Stephanie heaved a sigh and looked downward.
Although she tried to sound casual, she was evidently holding back her tears.
"That's good.Then...where did Benedict go? Why don’t I give him a call? I’m still his uncle, after
all.Perhaps he might listen to me."
"No, there’s no need!"
Stephanie looked flustered as she shook her head.
"He's held up by something and will be back soon.No, don’t rush him.Go.Don’t worry.I’ll be here taking
care of your brother."
She turned and headed toward the ward, wiping her tears.
Joseph stared at Stephanie and fell into deep thought.
‘It seems to me it's not that Benedict has refused to return, but no one can contact him instead.I sent
my men to investigate, but they couldn't obtain any news about him either.Has he met with some kind
of accident? If it’s so, it will be a God-sent opportunity!’ Joseph was in a great mood while leaving the
hospital.
He felt that everything that had happened was in his favor.
The ownership of the Tanner Corporation seemed within his reach after all.
Damian was waiting for him in his office when he returned.
"Dad."

Joseph saw the files in his hands and nodded.
"Is the perfume a success and ready for launch?"
"Yes, I’ve completed the plan for you to go over.I’ve arranged everything from packaging to marketing
to endorsement and ads.The ad shoot will finish in two days, and I’ve booked the primetime slots on all
major TV networks.Everything is ready, and I guarantee we'll sell out our perfumes!"
Damian claimed confidently.
"That’s wonderful!"
Joseph happily browsed through the file and was impressed by the all-encompassing plan.
"You did well, Damian! Remember to ensure that production can keep up.Tell the production line they
need to prepare to accommodate our perfumes."
"I already did, Dad, don’t worry,"
Damian smilingly answered before he paused and revealed a troubled expression.
"It’s just that "
"What is it?"
"It’s just that the budget is a bit..."
Damian rubbed his fingers together, signaling that the budget was tight.
