Since you’re done handing over , just leave . No need to stick around , Liam said as he strode past , the sharp dicks of his feather shoes onl unpleasantly in the hallway
Grace couldn’t have asked for better . She immediately went to the board to report in , ignored anyone trying to stop her , packed her things , and of let the Cole Group .
Meanwhile , Daniel received another call from the board .
George said , “ Liam doesn’t even understand the company’s current projects and still has the nerve to say Gibson Group can replace Saxon Group !
He’s already lost several major collatiorations , Everyone else is pulling overtime , and he just clocks out at five on the dot , refusing to stay ! ”
George was so furious he was shouting and slamming the table , his face red and his veins bulging
George continued , “ We paid a fortune to recruit Grace from overseas to support Aria , Liam forced Aria out with that divorce – we let that go .
“ When Grace resigned , we begged her to stay another month to help Liam . And he just kicked her out if he wasn’t your grandson , we wouldn’t even consider him qualified to inherit the Cole Group ! ”
Daniel , proud of his bones , hated being looked down on. But under these circumstances , he could only swallow his anger .
Daniel said finally , “ I’ll come to the office tomorrow and train him myself if he can’t meet the board s standards , I’ll no longer meddle in the heir matter . ”
Hearing this , George softened his tone and said a few kind words about Liam before hanging up .
For the next week straight , Liam worked under Daniel’s watchful eye , pulling overtime every night to finish all the materials the board had prepared .
Without any decent rest , Liam looked absolutely drained , like he’d aged several years .
“ Grandpa , you didn’t push Aria this hard . Why are you picking on me ? ” Liam muttered .
Daniel kept a stone – cold face . “ Because she was smart and hardworking . If I hadn’t seen her potential , do you think I would’ve agreed to that marriage ?
“ She barely started and already resolved the company’s crisis , secured multiple partnerships , and convinced the board to back her if it weren’t for your crush on that girl from the Gibson family , I wouldn’t have to be hery teaching you now . ”
Liam froze , confused . “ Was it really Aria who fixed the company’s problems ? I thought the board tolerated her because she was Mrs. Cole . ”
Daniel scoffed . “ That bunch of old fossils won’t even acknowledge you . You think a title like ‘ Mrs. Cole ‘ could make them bow their heads ! ”
Aria’s talent and abilities were so exceptional that even Daniel had to admit it .
Still , Aria couldn’t stand Liam keeping another woman . That little jealousy made Daniel doubt whether she could achieve greatness in the future .
Daniel
tossed a book onto the table . “ Here . This is something Aria used to study . ”
Liam opened it and blinked in shock . “ it’s … all in Erenolanian ? ”
The pages were filled with notes too – also in Eregolanian . Liam recognized her handwriting a little messy but still readable from the time they signed the marriage license .
“ Grandpa , didn’t Aria never go to school ? ” Lian asked .
Daniel shot him a look like he was the dumbest map alive . “ You think someone without an education could lead a company ?
“ Could even understand this level of technical Erenolanian ? That girl’s no ordinary woman ”

Aria’s pride and independence made her hard to control . That’s why Daniel had made her sign a prenup before handing her Cole Group’s future
Now , with the Saxon and Cole families estranged , Daniel figured maybe it wasn’t a bad thing to push Liam hard and see if he could finally grow up
Daniel said sternly , “ Whatever she managed to do , you must be able to do too . Don’t embarrass me in front of the board ! “
After Daniel left , Liam wandered into Aria’s old office and found another book from Erenoland , filled with more handwritten notes .
‘ She even knows Erenolanian ?” Liam was
stunned . Aria had hidden far more skills than he ever imagined .
As more key employees resigned one after another , Daniel called for a shareholders ‘ meeting ,
“ Aria still holds shares in Cole Group . Inform her she needs to attend , ” Daniel ordered.
After getting the call , Aria soon received a message from the chief assistant . [ Ms. Saxon , after you left , a lot of employees resigned too .
Mr. Cole thinks you’re behind it . He called this meeting specifically
y to make things hard for you . Please be careful . ]
