Goodbye My Arrogant Ex (Marguerite and Leonard) novel Chapter 303

“Leonard, I feel completely at ease entrusting the company to you. From now on, I hope you’ll live up to my expectations—manage the company with dedication, and lead everyone to make it better than ever.”

Though I may be old, I—*the elderly Mrs. Murphy*—still trust my eye for people. Anyone I choose, I know I won’t be wrong about. I expect you to keep improving the company, and never give anyone a reason to complain!”

Her words were clearly meant for the two of them, and there was no doubt in her tone. Once Mrs. Murphy made up her mind, no one could sway her—not a single protest or argument would change what she’d decided.

Handing the company over to Leonard had been in her thoughts for some time; nothing, not even her younger son’s return, would alter that decision.

Her younger son, in fact, had helped her run the company when he was younger. For a while, he’d even seemed more reliable than his older brother, with a sharp mind for business.

But after his arranged marriage, things soured between him and his wife. Their relationship was never close—just a business deal, really. Arguments about the company became routine, and their resentment ran deep. In a fit of anger, her younger son abandoned the company, left his mother behind, and headed overseas alone.

But now, Mrs. Murphy herself is frail, living day to day. She doesn’t want any more entanglements with her younger son, nor does she want him involved with the company.

“Don’t worry, Grandma. I’ll give everything I have to the work you entrust me with. I promise I won’t let a single thing go wrong with the company.”

Leonard’s voice was confident, though it felt as if, in this family, his words barely mattered anymore.
