Divorced The True Heiress Gets It All novel Chapter 710

Chapter 710

“What do you mean no?” Joseph smacked the armrest, clearly frustrated. “Taking over Cole Group would’ve been a huge win for Saxon Group. You could’ve saved yourself a whole decade of work!”

Caleb looked at him calmly. “Grandpa, you’re missing the point. Aria brought it up because I’m her brother, not because she wanted to hand it over to the Saxon family.”

Aria had mentioned Phosphor Group, but she never said anything about giving it to him. She knew he couldn’t fully separate himself from Saxon Group.

Caleb had said it that way on purpose. He wanted to watch Joseph realize just how badly he messed up.

He went on, “You’re the one who cut her off without asking anyone, just because you thought she’d be a burden. Well, choices have consequences. You didn’t give her anything, but now you expect something in return? That’s not how life works.

“We’re already here. Just let go of what doesn’t belong to you.”

It was the first time Joseph had been called out by the grandson he cared about most. His face turned pale. “If she had just shown some potential earlier…”

Caleb cut him off gently. “Wilson stayed overseas. Nathan didn’t study anything related to the business. Silvia never tried joining the company. But you didn’t kick any of them out, did you?”

Joseph froze. His eyes turned glassy with emotion. For once, he really looked at his oldest grandson, and saw the disappointment in his eyes.

Caleb continued, “When Aria first came back, all of you treated her like some clueless bumpkin. You only regret it now because you finally realized what she’s capable of.”

His voice carried a bit of sarcasm. “If she were really average, you wouldn’t feel bad about throwing her out.”

Everyone was blaming Joseph now. The study fell into silence. He watched Caleb leave and felt a sinking feeling in his chest. There was no fixing this anymore.

While heading to campus, Aria got a message from Alan: [Ms. Saxon, my professor’s project is about to wrap up. Just don’t tell him I told you.]

She replied with a simple “OK” and headed to her office. But before she got there, she saw Derek waiting by the door.

He spotted her and ran up. “Hey, Aria!”

Seeing how lightly he was dressed, Aria scanned her card to open the door. “Come inside.”

Sophie was still teaching, so the office was empty. Derek flopped down across from her and rubbed his hands. “Grandma’s birthday is this Saturday. She told me to invite you in person.”

He hesitated. “The Saxon family’s gonna be there too. If you don’t wanna go, I’ll let Grandma know.”

“I’ll send a gift later. You can take it for me,” Aria said casually.

Derek nodded while stealing another look at how stunning his sister was. “Sure.”

Aria glanced at his clothes. “You’re underdressed. It’s cold out.”

“I just finished a game. I’m good,” he said with a grin. Then he switched topics. “Oh, and my parents have been acting really weird lately. They keep showing up at school with snacks and clothes.”

Aria adjusted the thermostat. “Maybe they feel guilty and want to make up for ignoring you.”

“Please,” Derek scoffed. “I’m not five anymore.”
