The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

Chapter 2161

Cathy hit the nail on the head with her statement and then added, “If it were up to me, I’d hand the company over to the most capable kid to make it thrive. So | don’t think what Grandma and Grandpa did back then was wrong. On the contrary, | think Dad needs to adjust himself—the business belongs to the whole family; it shouldn't matter who it goes to. If Dad are discontent, he should have talked it out with them instead of brewing so much resentment.”NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

“You're a good kid.” Shirley patted her head, feeling a lump in her throat, surprised that even a child could be more understanding than some adults.

“| share Cathy’s view,” Jeffery added in.

This was indeed his parents’ fault.

“| agree with Cathy too,” Luna declared.

Shirley felt even more emotional and reached out to hug Jeffery and Luna. “You all are such good children.” “You can’t even measure up to these three kids.” Phillip scolded.

Tomas and Donna hung their heads in shame.

Back then, Donna had thought that as long as Jennifer perished in that fire, her husband would finally let go and focus on their little family.

But what she didn’t realize was that, even if Jennifer were gone, there would always be a place in Tomas' heart that no one else could fill, a place reserved solely for Jennifer.

After the clinic explosion years ago, Tomas’ company grew larger. Being a member of the McMillian family, he was able to access to high society. He continued to make influential connections to strengthen his position, secretly building his own power base and collaborating with like-minded individuals and organizations, including Doom.

On the surface, he appeared at peace as the head of the household, but in reality, his power was growing wildly, and had long since grown from a sapling into a towering tree.

At that moment, Shirley, with tears in her eyes, turned to Donna.

“Tomas didn’t fulfill his responsibilities and obligations as a husband—he is indeed wrong. As his mother, | failed to raise him properly, and as your mother-in-law, | didn’t notice your distress in time, allowing you to endure such hardship. For that, | owe you an apology.”

Shirley suddenly bowed to Donna in a serious gesture of apology, which made Donna feel even more remorseful.

“Mom.” Donna rushed to support her, “It’s not your fault.” Over the years, Shirley had been very kind to her!
