Chapter 344:
“No, your dad’s angry right now,” Michelle said, shaking her head. “We can’t go back and get caught up in the mess. We’re staying at Grandma’s for a few days, then we’ll go back when things cool off p>
“What?” Erika whined, her face instantly falling. “No way! I was hoping to see her get a good scolding p>
“Just knowing is enough to make you happy. What if you go back and somehow get dragged into Fernanda’s mess? She’s so manipulative—who knows what tricks she could pull p>
Erika sank back into her seat, a wave of disappointment washing over her.
“Even if Dad gets angry, there’s no way he’ll actually throw her out,” Erika muttered wearily. “She’s engaged to Bobby, and with the Harper family’s influence, no matter how bad things get, Dad won’t hold it against her. The Harper family will be more useful to us in the long run p>
Michelle let out a dismissive snort. “Now that this has happened, your dad will definitely make Fernanda figure out how to fix it. What can she do? She’ll have to turn to Bobby for help, but Bobby’s more interested in having fun than dealing with business. Plus, Mrs. Harper doesn’t like Fernanda at all. Do you really think the Harper family will step in to help her p>
Erika listened to Michelle’s reasoning, her expression brightening. “If the Harper family won’t help her, what happens then p>
“Your dad will eventually see that the Harper family couldn’t care less about Fernanda. She has no real value to them, and he’ll start to rethink how important she really is p>
It dawned on Erika that if Fernanda lost her worth, their father might finally throw her out and send her back to the remote village where she had once lived.
A wave of relief washed over Erika, and her mood instantly lifted.
Suddenly, an idea clicked in her mind. “I have a schoolmate whose family’s company is looking to give their employees some perks, but they’re unsure what to offer. What if I suggest they buy some of our company’s cosmetics to distribute p>
“Really? You have a schoolmate like that?” Michelle asked, raising an eyebrow and smiling. “What kind of business is his family in p>

Erika said with confidence, “They own a clothing manufacturing business with multiple facilities, and there are plenty of female workers who would likely enjoy skincare products. The male employees could even take them home for their partners. Our skincare line is well-known and respected, definitely not seen as inferior p>
Michelle chuckled. “If you pull this off, it’ll be amazing p>
Erika had made her share of mistakes lately, and Robert wasn’t exactly happy with her. If she could help him by landing this order, he’d definitely appreciate it.
On top of that, it was a great chance to show how Erika could offer something valuable, unlike Fernanda.
While Fernanda seemed to add nothing but trouble for the family, Erika had the potential to deliver real results, and Robert would no doubt start seeing her in a more favorable light.
With that in mind, Erika felt even more determined to succeed. She was eager to prove herself and regain her father’s respect and the position she once held in his eyes.
The following day, Erika reached out to her schoolmate, Mayson Turner. Mayson thought highly of Erika, but she found him rather ordinary and didn’t give him much thought.
