Reclaiming Her Heart

"Honey, I'm sorry. I was just too worried and afraid you could be harmed in any way," James said, clutching his chest, the pain caused by his anger evident.

This time, he was truly in the wrong. He thought the old classmate he hadn't contacted for a long time came to visit because of the Fair family's successful second financing. It just happened that Selena was a designer, and they could collaborate in the future, which would also be beneficial.

He glared at Beatrice, his expression gloomy. "I see that's what you thought, too!"

Beatrice's heart shook, realizing that James was genuinely angry.

Mr. Wright's actions were intended to ruin Selena, but Beatrice's sensationalized remarks revealed her true thoughts, making James reflect on whether he had been too harsh on his daughter. But everything he had done was for her own good. At that moment, Alice started coming down from upstairs.

Alice's face was extremely pale today, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Seeing her father angry, her eyes turned red and she instinctively wiped her eyes twice.

"Dad, I'm sorry. Did you argue with Sister because of me again?"

Upon hearing her voice, James felt much better.

Alice has always had health problems, and she is also his own daughter. He got married to Beatrice later in life, which also delayed Alice's health to some extent.

So he always felt indebted to this daughter.

Besides, Alice was very sensible and has nothing to say about her sister Selena.

"It's not your fault."

Alice breathed a sigh of relief and quickly walked downstairs, holding Beatrice's arm.

"Dad, don't be angry with Mom either. She has been worrying about my health all these years, and sometimes her words may be sharp, but that's not her intention." Her few words instantly calmed James's anger.

But he still glared at Beatrice and went back to his room upstairs.

Downstairs, Alice looked at Beatrice.

"Mom, you should be more careful next time. Dad is not stupid. Don't be too impatient. We have waited so many years. There's no need to rush now."

Beatrice also knew that she had revealed some flaws tonight, which raised James's suspicion. It seemed that she had to go and appease him later.

When they went to bed at night, Beatrice saw that James didn't want to talk to her, so she mentioned some past events.

"Honey, do you remember when your career was taking off and you were busy every day? I held Alice and didn't dare to disturb you. She cried every day, and one day, she cried so much that her voice became hoarse. I called you, and you came over while it was raining. Do you remember?"

At that time, James was very busy, and on top of that, he had to take care of Selena, so he neglected Beatrice.

Now that Beatrice mentioned it, the little bit of anger he had completely disappeared.

"How can I forget? You tripped when you held the umbrella for me."

The memory helped bring the couple closer together.

Beatrice also took the opportunity to bring up something.

"I'm sorry for what I said about Selena. I was thinking that Mr. Wright's company is so successful, it would be helpful for Selena, in the future, but I forgot that Selena is a girl. Once such a thing happens, it will be a huge blow to her." James was completely not angry now, but he added one more thing.

"It was my negligence this time. When Selena calms down, I'll talk to her about transferring the shares. I transferred the shares that her mother left to you before, and considering what happened this time, I plan to give her fifteen percent first." Beatrice's pupils shrank violently, and she gritted her teeth.

Fifteen percent, why not just give the company directly to that despicable child!

She took a deep breath, but, also knowing that she couldn't refute at this time, otherwise it would arouse James's suspicion.

There is room for maneuvering after this matter was solved, and she made a generous gesture.

"Dear husband, the company is yours to arrange how you see fit."

At this point James was completely done being angry, and was patting her back, "Go to sleep."

Beatrice turned her back to him, with resentment in her eyes.

She only received ten percent of the shares so far, and she had participated in the company's decision-making power. Alice had not received any shares so far, and Nick could only enter the company for learning purposes. If Selena were to take away fifteen percent in the future, then this family would truly belong to Selena.

No, she needs to come up with a solution immediately. She needed to quickly dispel James's guilt and somehow make him disappointed in this daughter.
