Back then, the Thompson family was only a medium-sized enterprise. After Amanda married Daniel, the Leaford family helped the Thompsons a lot in their business. Amanda even used her own experience to triple the Group’s profits in the first year.

Although she fell ill later, Thompson Group would have had a hard time becoming the richest man in Capital City without her efforts in the beginning.

“Amanda Leaford, if Daniel paid for the house, that means he owns part of it. This is legally sound, so why are you resorting to moral kidnapping?” Phoebe Belmont chimed in unapologetically.

Daniel’s property might become her own, so she had to fight for her future interests.

“Who are you to interfere? I’m talking to him, not you.” Amanda finally turned her attention to Phoebe, “You’re just a mistress who can’t be seen in public, only picking up what others don’t want.”

Phoebe’s eyes reddened in grievance, and she turned to Daniel, “Daniel, she actually said that you were something she didn’t want…”

Amanda smiled gently, “I haven’t even said anything, and you’ve already associated your dear Daniel with being ‘something.’ Is your Daniel a thing?”

“Of course not!” Phoebe blurted out, only to realize that she had fallen into Amanda’s trap.

Seeing Phoebe trip up, Molly Walker shook her head slightly, “Miss Belmont, you should be interested in Mr. Thompson for his personality, not his money, right?”

“Of course.” Phoebe lifted her chin arrogantly, “I don’t want money, I just want to live my life with Daniel.”

“In that case, you wouldn’t mind if he left with nothing, right?” Molly said with a knowing smile.

“Leave with nothing…” Phoebe hesitated.

She did like Daniel, but she had never thought he would leave with nothing. She had imagined that Amanda and her children would move out of the mansion, and she would move in. She hadn’t considered any other outcomes.

“Seems like you’re not just seeking the person.”

Phoebe glanced at Daniel and saw his inquisitive expression, her heart skipping a beat.

She gritted her teeth and quickly said, “I love Daniel, and even if he leaves with nothing, I won’t care.”

After she finished, she looked at Daniel affectionately.

Phoebe’s heart raced, as she was certain that Daniel wouldn’t really leave with nothing.

Considering Amanda’s ambiguous relationship with Chase Jackson, Daniel could possibly force her to leave with nothing, if he was more ruthless.

“Well, Mr. Thompson is almost there, leaving with nothing. He just needs to leave.” Molly spoke to Amanda with a smirk, “A few days ago, didn’t his brother make him sign an agreement? It includes the ownership of Thompson Group and the destination of his personal property. The company is now in his brother’s name, and Daniel’s personal property has already been transferred to your name.”

What?

Phoebe’s face turned pale as she was on the verge of collapsing!

The company being managed by Damian was one thing, but why had Daniel’s personal property all been given to Amanda too?!

If everything went to her, wouldn’t Phoebe end up with nothing?

Phoebe’s mental state was on the brink of collapse.

Hearing Molly’s words, Amanda was stunned.

When had the children transferred the property without her knowing it?

Molly pretended to be unconcerned as she said to Daniel, “People with dementia aren’t suitable for managing companies, let alone handling money, right? You agreed with this the other day when you signed the agreement before being discharged.”

Daniel’s face turned pale and green.

Before his discharge, his always obedient eldest son, Damian, had surprisingly asked him to sign a contract. Damian had said that Daniel’s illness had already affected the stock price, and if it couldn’t be stabilized, the company might collapse.

Although Daniel felt unwilling, he realized that being older and diagnosed with “dementia” meant he was no longer suitable to manage the company.

He thought that as long as his family could live in harmony, it didn’t matter if he handed over his financial power.

However, he had never expected that his illness would be exposed, and now he had no choice but to face it.

He had reached the point of leaving his home with nothing, and Daniel felt suffocated, as if he couldn’t breathe.

Seeing him like this, Phoebe finally knew the answer in her heart.

He had actually signed such a thing…

Amanda laughed, her eyes squinting into crescents: “You were after him, weren’t you? Now that you have him, get out of my house.”

Phoebe’s face turned pale, and Daniel was infuriated.

Amanda had always been gentle and soft-spoken before, never having said such harsh words to him.

He wanted to say something more, but Phoebe timely pulled his arm: “Daniel, let’s go out first. I have some things to say to you too.”

Daniel paused his movement, giving Phoebe a cold glance.

Right now, persisting would only do him more harm. Amanda might immediately drag him to a divorce.

Daniel obeyed and left with Phoebe, but this only made Amanda feel even more disgusted.

As they left the Leaford house, Phoebe tactfully let go of Daniel’s hand and whispered, “Mr. Thompson, did we overdo it just now?”

“No,” Daniel’s face was certain. Seeing her reddened eyes, he spoke softly, “I’m sorry you had to go through that.”

“It’s fine,” Phoebe forced a casual smile. “As long as I can help Mr. Thompson.”

“You helped, and I’ve learned her attitude.” The coldness in Daniel’s eyes deepened.

He had sought Phoebe’s help to test Amanda’s true feelings, but now it seemed she genuinely disliked him.

“I actually don’t understand why she chose Chase Jackson. You are clearly better than him…”

Phoebe hesitated, and seeing Daniel’s expression softened, she asked softly, “Where are we going now? Should we keep waiting here or…?”

“I’ll wait here for Damian, while you go back first.”

He had lost his wife, but he mustn’t lose his son or else his care in old age would become problematic.

“Alright, I’ll be leaving first then. Mr. Thompson, you can call me anytime if needed. Besides, she’s angry right now. You better let her cool down a bit. If you’re really waiting for Mr. Thompson, you can wait at the coffee shop outside.”

Phoebe’s voice was gentle and earnest. Daniel thought for a moment and looked at the skyscraper not far away, an idea flashing in his mind.

It was said that this was a famous skyscraper in Capital City, nearly a hundred floors, and the top floor had a well-known coffee shop called Skyline Cafe & Roastery.

Looking at Phoebe’s expectant gaze, Daniel thought for a moment: “Let’s have a cup of coffee together.”

Right now, Amanda was furious. It might be better to let her calm down a little.

He didn’t want a divorce, and he wouldn’t divorce Amanda.

At this time, Grace Harrison had arrived at Cloud Nine Café. The café’s employees saw Grace and their faces turned sour one after another.

What was going on? Wasn’t this Miss supposed to not be an intern anymore? Why has she come again?

Seeing the waiter approaching, Grace took the hint and coughed: “I’m just here for some coffee today.”

After speaking, her dark round eyes started searching for Damian.

Soon, she noticed a familiar figure sitting by the window.

She walked over quickly and saw a woman sitting with Damian.

The woman was dressed in a decent suit, her hair done up in a bun, both pure and cute.

Grace stopped in her tracks, instantly recognizing this student as her school’s campus belle, Vivian Wilson. She came from a wealthy family and was once an object of Grace’s envy.

Not only was Vivian academically excellent, beautiful, and from a well-off family, but she was also gentle, the kind of girl that even Grace herself liked.

She glanced at her reflection in the window, even though she had dressed up carefully, something always seemed to fall short.

Seeing Vivian and Damian chatting and laughing, Grace looked at the shirt in the bag and suddenly lost all her courage.

Returning the shirt now would be quite abrupt, right?
