Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife novel Chapter 1053

Chapter 1053: Chapter 1052

But the intermediary, after eavesdropping on the aunt and niece’s conversation, found nothing suspicious. There had been no physical contact between them. How in the world did Beverly pass on the information to the young girl??

"I indeed have no substantial evidence at hand. Whether to reveal it or not, that’s up to you to decide," Rosemary admitted honestly and straightforwardly.

Donna smiled brightly, a smile more precious than jewels, "Do you know why I like you? Among people our age, you’re like a brilliant pearl, shining so brightly that you can’t be ignored."

She knew that any further excuses were futile. The situation had reached this point, and they simply could not get out of here. The outside must have already been surrounded by people.

Given the temperaments of the old man and the old lady, they’d surely have their whole family of five sent to the police office.

She didn’t want to implicate her children. Her gaze fell on Louisa, "Truth be told, I have no grudges against you. My circumstances back in the day weren’t so different from Beverly’s. For quite a long time, we sympathized and depended on each other for support."

Louisa glanced at her, then at Jennifer and the others. Why did this sound like it was a family matter of the McMillian family??

"Are you saying that Dad should have handed the company over to my older brother?" George looked at Donna, surprised at her thoughts.

"It’s not just her," Tomas picked up. "I think so too."

Everyone was astonished. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Ever since we were kids, in academics or anything else, I always outshined you," Tomas said, turning to his brother.

Relatives would always praise him whenever they visited, talking about how capable he was and how his father would, sooner or later, hand over the company to him.

Moreover, some old board members and shareholders would speak highly of him every time they saw him, saying that under his leadership, the company would surely reach new heights.

How could he not be furious about that!!

"You took away the woman I loved, and then even tried to take over the family business." Tomas’ tone carried a hint of resentment.

Jeffery, Luna, and Cathy were all stunned. What was going on??

Cathy’s eyes were wide with shock. There was a feud between her uncle and her father??

George was somewhat bewildered as he heard him bring this up, "Haven’t these things already passed??"

"In my heart, it can never be passed!"

Tomas’ words left George utterly dumbfounded. It took a moment before he managed to ask, "If it can never be passed. Then why did you marry Donna?"

It was then that everyone noticed the sorrow in Donna’s eyes.

"What’s going on?" Jennifer asked her husband George directly, "Didn’t you say that I was your first love? Had you dated other girls before you were with me? Did you even take away the girl your brother liked??"

"Jennifer, let me explain."

Just as Jennifer was about to twist George’s arm in frustration, Donna spoke up, "The person he liked was you."

Everyone went silent.

And later, his brother made a success of himself and married Donna. George thought the matter of his brother liking Jennifer had turned the page.

But he never expected that, about two decades later, his brother would stand before him and say he couldn’t get past it for the rest of his life.

Tomas didn’t expect that his younger brother’s insistence with their father had been for his sake, to let him inherit the company. He was completely stunned.

At that moment, Phillip, who was sitting at the main seat, spoke up.

"From the time you were in kindergarten until you graduated from college, I raised both of you as my successors. You attended the same private lessons, all designed around shaping a competent and outstanding heir. As a father, I never favored one over the other."

Tomas was somewhat surprised, as he had always thought that his father only trained him, and he didn’t expect his brother to be included.

Phillip’s gaze settled on Tomas, "You’ve always had better grades than George, but George is more adaptable, flexible, and knows how to improvise. By contrast, you’ve always been too by-the-book."

He had always thought that with the best grades and the most awards, his father would surely hand over the company to him.

Furthermore, with the praises from relatives, directors, and shareholders over the years.

And the conventional practice to pass the family business to the eldest son.

He believed that he was the rightful heir to the company.

He thought that it was only because his brother pestered their father for three months that he changed his mind and decided to hand over the company to his younger sibling.
