Chapter 718Chapter 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.
novelbin"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 attendthe 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 all
she wants, and let’s see what she’s capable of!"
Eloise scoffed and narrowed her eyes.
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.
