Chapter 2915Fred thought that maybe it was about time for him to start properly disciplining this daughter of his, lest
she became even more rebellious and unruly.
"I'll give you two choices.
One: you'll manage the company well and expand the business instead of focusing your energy on
meaningless things, and forget everything that happened here.
Two: you leave the family and the company to pursue whatever your heart wishes.
| will not stop you, but | will not care for anything you do or anything that happens to you in the future”
What?!s he trying to cut off our father-daughter relationship? Della stared at her father incredulously,
tears overflowing before she even realized it.
A because of Joan? No! I won't accept this! "Mr. Duff, maybe you should sit down and have a proper
discussion with Della about this.
What she needs right now is proper rest.” Larry spoke up, not wanting to see the two family members
turning on each other.
Hmph!How dare he pretend to be the hero in this situation!He's nothing but a wolf in sheep's clothing!
Della harrumphed and stomped out of the office.
Fred made his way over to a sofa, sitting down on it dejectedly.
"| apologize for all the trouble you must've been through, Larry.I've always been worried about my daughter even prior to this, so I'd like to ask a favor from you..." he
sighed, his tone gentle as he talked about Della.
Larry was surprised.
From his point of view, there seemed to be nothing that Fred couldn't overcome, and there was no
problem that he couldn't solve.
"Della is still young, and she has yet to truly understand the ins and outs of the business world.
All of her prior achievements have to be credited to other people helping her behind the scenes.
My health is deteriorating day by day, and I'm not sure how long | have left.
If | pass away one day, | hope to leave my company in your care.
Of course, you will have to give the company back to Della after she has grown up and matured
sufficiently” He sounded as if he was saying his dying words.
Larry couldn't stop the shivers that ran up his spine as he watched Fred's body shake from the force of
his coughs.
Has his sickness truly gotten so bad that there's no chance of recovery? Larry's eyebrows knitted
together in worry.
"Don't tell Della about this yet.
| want to let her enjoy her life and be reckless for a while longer” Fred got up and slowly made his way
to the study.
"Maybe she'll learn her lesson after my death: For some reason, Larry was left feeling incredibly sad
noveldramaand helpless.Only parents would go to such lengths to show their love fora child.
Ring...
His phone suddenly rang from his pocket.
“Larry, we need to talk.” Jake sounded upset even through the static of the phone call.
"Sure." Larry swiftly ended the call and got up to leave.
There was nothing for them to discuss except about Joan.
It was time for this to end, once and for all.
In her hospital ward, Joan was reading through a magazine, looking to be in much better condition.
"Where's Larry?" Jessica asked as she came in, placing a plastic bag of fresh fruits on the side table.
Joan stiffened for a brief moment, then forced a smile.
"I told him not to come.
| needed some time to myself to gather my thoughts." Jessica's expression instantly switched from
happy to solemn upon hearing that.
Did they get into another fight?Joan has just escaped death.
Why cant Larry just reel in his temper for the time being? "It has nothing to do with him; Joan quickly
added.
"It's me" Huh? Jessica tilted her head to one side as she stared at her friend.
Joan's next words left Jessica even more confused."Jessica, | need you to help me look for a new place to stay.” Jessica could tell that Joan was clearly
interested in Larry, and various media outlets had already exposed the rumors of them dating.
So why is she still avoiding him like the plague?Besides, she's obviously still in love with Larry, even if
she refused to admit it to herself.
