Chapter 16: The Turning of the Tide!
If the collaboration between Mrs. Lisa and the Davis Group succeeds, Robert will undoubtedly see her in a new light.
"You’re right, let’s proceed as you suggested. Otherwise, twenty million would indeed be heart-wrenching. Having your mommy wear it would be such a waste!"
Robert chuckled, while Ella pressed her lips together slightly. She knew her father’s character all too well. For the sake of profit, he would stop at nothing.
After the Aurora Diadem incident, Robert’s attitude towards Brianna and Hannah had changed subtly, often showing dissatisfaction with the mother and daughter.
Three days later, the designer of the Aurora Diadem indeed died in a car accident, causing his works to be frantically speculated in the market.
That Aurora Diadem was already in Robert’s hands. Although Brianna had won it at the auction, Robert saw it as Ella’s suggestion that led him to gift the precious crown to Mrs. Lisa, thereby securing a fifty-billion-dollar deal.
To Robert, a twenty-million crown on his daughter’s or wife’s head was far less valuable than using it to bolster his business.
Mrs. Lisa was full of praise for the Aurora Diadem and commended Ella’s keen eye. Overjoyed, Robert rewarded Ella with a million dollars.
Brianna and Hannah were deeply resentful! Although the Aurora Diadem was no longer in their possession, it was Brianna who had originally bought it. Yet, it was Ella who received the reward and Robert’s affection, while Brianna only faced his disapproval!
On the surface, Brianna seemed more attentive to Ella. She no longer bought luxury goods for her, but whatever she bought or ate, Ella always came first.
However, Brianna and Hannah had already plotted a scheme to be executed in August, one that would make Ella lose the Davis family’s favor completely!
