Chapter 764Chapter 764
Eloise held her daughter's hand and wanted to say something when she heard a car approaching from
outside. Her face sank. "Your father is back."
It did not take long for her words to fall as Joseph entered the house with a bag in his hand. He was
stunned when he saw Eloise and Arianna sitting in the living room. "Ari, you're home too,” he said,
walking straight over. "Perfect. I have one for each of you."
novelbin"What is it?" Arianna smiled, stood up, and took the bag from his hand. She opened it and glanced
inside. "Wow, perfume!"
Seeing her surprised expression, Joseph smiled. “This is the first- ever perfume from our company, and
we've sold out of them! I bought two bottles directly from the factory for you two to try.”
His smug look annoyed Eloise. She knew Joseph was only happy that the product came from that little
brat, not because it was the company’s first-ever perfume. She felt unhappy inside and could not return
a joyful expression to Joseph. Her gaze was indifferent as if the man before her was insignificant.
“If I had known you'd buy it for us, I wouldn't have bought one myself," Arianna looked remorseful as
she put the bag down. Joseph was startled, “What? You bought one?"
"Of course! It's our company's first perfume, and Damian is responsible for the entire project. It's quite
significant to us, so I had to buy one for myself!” Arianna responded, pointing to the perfume bottle.
"Mom just tried it. It smells good, right, Mom?"
Eloise understood Arianna’s intentions behind those words. Even if she was unhappy, she replied lazily,
“Yes.”Joseph glanced at his wife and knew how she felt. Of course, he knew she was unhappy about getting
caught in the middle for so many years. He also knew he could not challenge her patience either. It
would be best if she could coexist peacefully with
Elizabeth if only that were possible.
If Eloise did not mind, it would not matter what the media said about them.
“Eloise, it's no wonder that you smell so nice today," Joseph said smilingly, "By the way, how come
you're not wearing the sapphire necklace?"
"Haha," Eloise sneered and did not bother to pay much attention to him.
After seeing everything thoroughly and thinking about it, Eloise no longer wanted to grasp his heart.
What she needed to grasp instead were the shares she currently had and the company's assets and
control.
Her sneer embarrassed Joseph, but he had nowhere to bury his face.
Arianna hurriedly said, "Dad, that sapphire necklace is too precious. How could mom be willing to wear
it? She kept it properly and said she'll only wear it on important occasions.
"Really?" After looking at his wife's reaction, Joseph was not so convinced by these words, but since
Arianna had already explained on her behalf, he gave in and replied, "That's true. Ten million is indeed
expensive."
Eloise glanced at Joseph and said nothing.
“Ari, come with me." Joseph pulled off his tie and walked to the home office, trying to ease the tension.
Arianna winked at her mother and replied, "Coming!" Then she followed behind Joseph.
