“Chairman…Kaleidoscope’s lawyers are outside,” Elder Miller’s assistant said to him while he was deep in thought in the study room, “Do you want me to…”
“Let them in,” Elder Miller waved his hand weakly.
“But…”
“This is karma,” Elder Miller coughed a couple times. “If I had not spoilt Elodie, perhaps things wouldn’t have gotten out of hand like it has now.”
“I obviously knew Emma was innocent, yet I don’t know why, when I saw Elodie on the brink of committing suicide, I assumed Emma would understand my actions and endure it like she always did,” Elder Miller mumbled. “It turned out, I had already hurt her enough.”
“I am a horrible grandfather.”
“Chairman…” his assistant helplessly tried to comfort him. However, he was well aware that the Miller Family had indeed gone too far this time. So, no comforting words managed to leave his mouth.
Although the Miller Family had a lot of descendants, in Elder Miller’s eyes, the only one capable of taking over the family business was Emma.
But, he had pushed Emma away with his own bare hands. What was the Miller Family to do from now on?
Was the century-old perfume empire going to end with him?
A while later, Elder Miller entered the living room and saw Kaleidoscope’s lawyers sitting on the sofa, “What does Mr. Roberts want? Let’s get straight to the point and not waste any time…”
“Mr. Miller, it is very simple: apologize. There is no need for compensation, the Roberts Family can get whatever they want, they don’t need money,” the lawyer replied without hesitation.
“We are all straightforward people. On this occasion, we are here on behalf of Mr. Roberts to let you know that there were some things that didn’t need to get to this point, but the Miller Family has indeed gone too far and seriously hurt Mrs. Roberts with their actions. In order to protect his wife, Eric has requested the Miller Family make an apology.”
“How did you want us to apologize?” Elder Miller asked.
“It depends on Mr. Miller’s sincerity.”
“You can go now. I have understood Mr. Roberts’s intention…” Elder Miller said as he picked up his walking stick. “I will do as he pleases.”
“Since that’s the case, then goodbye.”
After speaking, the lawyers stood up to leave. Once they were gone, Elder Miller stared at the old painting in the middle of the living room and said to his assistant, “Help me make arrangements for an official apology to Emma.”
“Chairman…”
“As her grandfather, I was the one that was wrong. Don’t you think I should apologize to my granddaughter?” Elder Miller tapped his walking stick on floor as his heart ached, “Emma is my granddaughter, my dearest granddaughter, yet now…she’s…”
“It seems Miss Emma was seriously hurt this time,” Elder Miller’s assistant sighed.
“I’m well aware…Plus, I know that the future of the Miller Family is quite worrying.” After speaking, Elder Miller clutched his ch*st and twitched uncontrollably. A couple seconds later, he collapsed unconscious on the floor…
His assistant was so shocked he immediately sent Elder Miller to the hospital…
As soon as Elodie and the other members of the Miller Family heard of Elder Miller’s condition, they immediately rushed to the emergency room of the hospital. After spotting Elder Miller’s assistant, they ran up to him and asked, “What happened? Why did grandfather suddenly collapse?”
“It just happened out of nowhere.”
“What other reason could there be? It must be because of Emma.”
The assistant deliberately tried to hide the fact that Kaleidoscope’s lawyers had come looking for Elder Miller. Yet, Elodie still managed to throw the blame onto Emma.
“Big Miss, if you could stop angering the chairman, perhaps he wouldn’t be in the hospital right now,” the assistant said coldly.
“What did you just say?” after hearing the assistant’s words, Elodie’s exp**ssion changed. Just as she was about to release her anger, Mr. Miller pulled her over and quietly tried to stop her.
“Elodie, your grandfather’s condition is still unclear. Don’t make things more complicated.”
Elodie pulled away from Mr. Miller and turned her attention to Mrs. Miller, “If it wasn’t for you and your daughter, the Miller Family wouldn’t have to put up with this mess?”
Mrs. Miller glared at Elodie as her voice trembled, “Time will tell who is right!”
“Stop arguing!” Mr. Miller yelled anxiously. A while later, the doctor stepped out of the emergency room and explained, “The patient has been stabilized, but he can’t be stimulated again.”
“Can we go in and see him?” Mr. Miller asked.
“Yes you can, but don’t disturb the patient’s rest for too long.”
After responding, the doctor left as Elodie and the rest of the family pushed open the emergency room door and entered. Seeing Elder Miller lying in bed, Elodie immediately pounced towards him, “Grandfather, are you OK?”
Elder Miller waved his hand and glanced at his assistant, “Ask them to head out first…I have something to discuss with you.”
“Big Miss, you guys should head out first.”
Although Elodie was unhappy with this decision, she did not retaliate. She simply stood up and left the room with Mr. Miller and the others.
“During this time that I am unwell, could you get Elodie to temporarily take on the role of Acting President…I want to test her capabilities.”
“Yes…Chairman…”
“I’m worried I may suddenly not wake up one day. Help me make an appointment with my lawyers as soon as possible. I want to update my will; I have decided to pass on the rights to the Miller Family business to Emma,” Elder Miller finally settled on a decision. “I know Emma is the only hope for the Miller Family. Assistant Marco, when the time comes, I want you to provide Emma with as much assistance as you can.”
“Chairman, nothing will happen to you.”
“Hurry and make arrangements for me.”
Assistant Marco nodded his head and left the room. He then notified Elodie of Elder Miller’s request, “The Chairman would like the Big Miss to apologize to Third Miss on his behalf. Plus, he would like you to be sincere.”
Elodie thought Elder Miller was passing the family business to her, so apologizing to Emma wasn’t a big deal, “Tell grandfather not to worry, I will apologize well.”
“Big Miss, I hope you don’t disappoint the Chairman.”
For many years, Assistant Marco had doubted Elodie’s capabilities because of her personality. He didn’t believe that she would be able to manage the perfume business well. Plus, with her temper, if she was to find out that Elder Miller was handing the business over to Emma, she was likely to cause trouble again. So, the assistant knew what he should or shouldn’t say.
“Don’t worry, I will definitely live up to grandfather’s expectations.” After speaking, Elodie glanced at Mrs. Miller.
Mrs. Miller clenched her fists tightly until her fi**gers began to bruise.
She knew deep down, if Elodie was to become the head of the family, her happy days in the Miller Family would come to an end.
She didn’t care too much about herself, but what about Emma?
Her daughter didn’t seem to care about being a part of the Miller Family. But, would the Roberts Family think badly of her family background?
Mistress?
Who was the actual mistress?
Suddenly… Mrs. Miller really wanted to do one final thing for her daughter…
