StarNovelChapter 907 "Derrick, even if I'm in the wrong, you should helptake care of Damian... and...Ari,” Joseph cautiously said after a moment of hesitation.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt this point, he had no one else to turn to except Derrick. The two were brothers at the end of the day. Joseph could only hope that blood was thicker than water and that Derrick would be willing to help.
"Well talk about it once they're out. They're children of the Tanner family anyway. However, anything that has to do with the company will be under Benny's care in the future. | won't interfere in any of the company's personnel changes. Besides Benny, people from the HR department will handle those. Regardless, | can assure you your children won't suffer.” That was the best Derrick could do. If he allowed nepotism to continue in the company, Tanner Corporation would fall sooner or later. Joseph lowered his gaze, a little disappointed. He initially thought his children would have a chance to re-enter the company. Even if they could not hold a position as high as they did before, they would still at least be managers.
However, now that the power was in Benedict's hands, coupled with what Derrick had said, it seemed like there was no room for discussion.
‘Well, if that's the case, there's nothing much | can say,” Joseph sighed, "By the way, how did you think of such a sophisticated plan? After all, before you got hospitalized, we all followed the rules." ‘Following the rules?” Derrick sneered and looked at Joseph. "Do you honestly think | have no idea what happens behind closed doors? Do you think | know how often our company's projects have gotten in trouble? Do you think I've never questioned the suppliers about the materials they brought?" "|..." Joseph had no idea his elder brother knew these things since Derrick had always feigned ignorance.

Eloise stood in the doorway and was surprised to see him. A look of embarrassment flashed across her face before she quickly tidied up her hair. "D-Derrick, you're here.” "Mhm.” Derrick nodded. He noticed her embarrassment and continued,” Since you're here, I'll leave you two to talk. I happen to be leaving as well.’ "Derrick, wait!” She called out. Then she turned to look at Joseph on the hospital bed before pursing her lips, saying, "Since you're here, hearout. | have something to say." Derrick did not argue and stayed. Only then did he notice the folder in her hand.
Eloise opened the folder and revealed a stack of documents and a pen before passing it to Joseph, saying, "Joseph, sign it." Joseph was startled. When he saw the words on the paper, his face turned blue.
"Divorce papers?! Eloise, have you lost your mind?! Why are you asking for a divorce at a tlike this?!" Although Joseph wanted to get up, it was a struggle in his current physical condition, so he fell back onto his bed.
"I know it's a bit much forto file a divorce now, but | don't want to delay it any longer. After so many years, | think I finally had enough," Eloise said,” I've already hired a lawyer to draft the terms. You can take a look at how we'd divide the properties. | won't take advantage of you, but I'll take as much as | think | deserve.”
