Chapter 451
Chapter 451 Escape as Soon as Possible
There is no evidence now to suggest that what Aaron just said to me was all Morris! true thoughts, and as Aaron's wife, I must maintain a certain level of objectivity when considering this matter
Only fools would wish to alienate their husbands from their families, and as long as there was even a slight possibility, I would not deepen the negative impression of Mr. Morris in his heart
"Aaron, everything up until now has only been rumors and speculation. I have no experience in managing a family business, but assuming that you and your father or brothers are not getting along, those shareholders are all beneficiaries
No one dictates that the successor must be a direct relative of the current chairman. If they stir up trouble with rumors, there will definitely be people taking advantage of the situation."
"T understand everything you said," Aaron patted my hand, but then he became serious and said, "But no one, no matter how much they calculate, could have predicted that Joe and I have a truly great relationship. My father obviously didn't expect that I had no intention of competing with Joe for anything. So far, I have only been assigned some tasks in the project team. But when he found out, he couldn't sit still. Just this afternoon, he signed a transfer document and assigned two of Joe's most capable strategists to my project team. Olive, can't you see that he is trying to provoke conflicts between us brothers?"
"Perhaps he really just wanted to show his appreciation for you?"
I licked my lips, as if trying to convince Aaron, but more so trying to convince myself
"Even if your father really arranged for you to enter the headquarters of the group because he was ill, it could also be that he finally remembered you, his exiled son, when he encountered difficulties in life. Perhaps he longed for family unity and sincerely wanted to resolve the grievances between father and son with you."
Perhaps, maybe
These words came out of my mouth one after another, and in the end, I couldn't even distinguish what was fact and what was speculation
I didn't want to speculate about a person with the worst assumption, especially when that person is my husband's father
Resolving the grievances between father and son, regardless of whether it was old Morris! wish or not, was, in any case, the thing I most hoped would happen
But Aaron was clearly disappointed in his father. After I finished speaking, there was no change in his expression, instead he became even calmer. "Olive, think back carefully. When he insisted that I stay and join the Morris Group headquarters, his attitude was so impatient, as if he wanted to resolve our grievances."
I was momentarily choked by Aaron's question, and memories of that day at the dining table flashed through my mind. It was already quite impressive that old Morris didn't immediately

ignite a new powder keg, let alone whether he wanted to resolve old grievances
This completely overturned my beautiful imagination. I wanted to continue saying something, but looking at Aaron's seemingly rational appearance, all the unspoken comfort was swallowed back into my stomach
So at this moment, Aaron needed not only the comfort of a wife, but also a rational analysis from his companions
In the company, he and Joe were partners standing on the same front line, but in front of old Morris, and even in front of those shareholders who were watching from the sidelines, they had to play as competitors
So Aaron only had me as a companion in our home
My mind was spinning rapidly, and a picture of the current situation also emerged before my eyes
"Although father's original intention was to have you restrain Joe, to be honest, being too high-profile is also not acceptable. Joe is feared by his father precisely because he didn't guard himself. In order to prevent father from turning his attention towards you, I think you should just finish the projects at hand, without standing out too much. It would be best to make those who originally wanted to support you feel that you are an unassailable person."
Aaron expressed complete agreement with what I said. He had always thought this way from the beginning. However, the adult world is so cruel that even two brothers with a good relationship cannot fully confide in each other about these words to Joe
So he came to seek my answer, and I naturally gave him such a plan, which can also be considered as a rare understanding between husband and wife
"Anyway, he just said to me back then to become the project manager, and once the project was over, I would have a reason to leave
The Morris Group would eventually fall into chaos, and I had to get out as soon as possible, for myself and for our family."
Aaron lowered his head and gently kissed my forehead, but what we didn't expect was that some shareholders in the company didn't want to give Aaron a chance to stay low-key. Those who believed they must support Joe, in order to show their loyalty, even went so far as to sabotage Aaron's project
