Chapter 842 Equal Treatment
Elara's face immediately showed a look of embarrassment, "I, I told you about this, didn't I? I've been fighting with your dad for a long time, we've had arguments, but he just won't agree. There's nothing I can do."
"Why won't he agree? Am I worse than Juniper?" Saffron's face was full of anger, her eyes wide and intimidating.
Even Elara was a bit scared. In her heart, Saffron had always been well-behaved, except when they were dealing with Juniper together.
But now, she was being so fierce even to her own mother.
"Saffron, of course you're better than Juniper, but your dad has always favored Juniper, you know that. There's nothing I can do." Elara said, looking embarrassed.
"Isn't it because you're useless? You're his wife, but you can't even have a say in this family. Don't you feel pathetic?"
Elara was also feeling frustrated, and being directly humiliated by Saffron made her even more uncomfortable. Her face was burning, and she felt resentful.
"We live in this family like parasites, like beggars, always at risk of being kicked out by Juniper. I must get into the Cooper Group and become the future owner of the Cooper Group."
"I'll think of something. You don't necessarily have to get into the Cooper Group to achieve that."
"Then what should we do? Poison Dad? Now that Juniper has established herself in the Cooper Group, it's even more impossible to drive her out. We have to get her out of the Cooper Group first to completely remove her." Saffron's eyes were filled with a murderous look.
"But even if you get into the Cooper Group, can you really compete with her? I'm afraid you'll suffer."
Hearing this made Saffron even more furious, "Are you saying I'm not as good as that bitch?"
"No, but she has an advantage. That bitch at least studied finance, has good grades, and has worked in big companies. You're an art major, in this field, you're definitely not as..."
Saffron interrupted her indignantly, "So what if I'm an art major? I'm still better than her. Her degree might be bought, and she probably got into big companies by sleeping with men. Don't think she's that great, it's all an act. I'll know her true abilities once I get into the company."
"I don't want you to overwork yourself, your body just recovered..."
"That's just being soft-hearted! If we keep sitting around doing nothing, we might wake up one day without a place to sleep."
Especially after dealing with those men, Saffron realized how heartless men could be, completely unreliable. Now, she could only rely on herself.
Hearing this, Elara also felt anxious.
"But your dad..."
"Forget it, I can't count on you. I'll talk to Dad myself."
Saffron went upstairs, took a shower, and brought a cup of milk, knocking on the study door.
"Come in."
"Dad, I just warmed up a cup of milk for you." Saffron, with her long hair down, looked obedient and filial.
"Okay." Aaron was feeling very sleepy, having dozed off while reading. He put the book aside, "What have you been busy with lately? You're often not at home."
"Nothing much, just going out for yoga and exercise."
"You're still in recovery, don't overdo it."
"Thank you for your concern, Dad. I know you're the best to me." Saffron wiped her eyes emotionally, "Dad, what happened before felt like a nightmare to me. I can't even believe I did it. Looking back, it was terrifying and shameful. I'm sorry, Dad."
"My biggest fear was that you would think less of me and give up on me." Saffron said, looking like she was about to cry.
"I won't, you're my daughter. I'll never give up on you."
"Really? Dad, you're so good to me." Saffron's eyes sparkled, "I'll work hard in the future, just like Juniper, and make you proud."
"I believe in you."
"Dad, my body has almost recovered. I want to work."
"Work?"
"Yes. I've been graduated for over a year with no work experience. Being idle every day makes it easy to go astray. If I have a job, I won't think about those messy things."
"What do you want to do? Should I open an art studio for you?"
"I want to join the Cooper Group."
It seemed she had thought it through from the beginning. Aaron understood, but he could also see why. They were both his daughters, and it was normal for her to have this idea.
"The Cooper Group is a financial company, you don't know anything about economics..."
"I can learn. Isn't Juniper also working hard to learn now?"
"But she has a background in it, so she learns quickly."
"I may not have a background, but I'm smart. As long as I'm willing to learn, it won't be a problem. Dad, if I don't learn, I'll never know. It's never too late to start. Please give me this chance."
Saffron placed her hands on Aaron's forearm, pleading, "Dad, I don't want to be a useless person at home."
"You're not useless. Staying at home is fine too. In a couple of years, you'll get married..."
Saffron smiled bitterly, "After Douglas, I have no hope for marriage. A woman must be independent and strong to find happiness. Relying on marriage means the man always has the upper hand."
"That's true." Aaron nodded, "But I think you should find a more relaxed job. Opening an art studio suits you well."
"I don't want that. Dad, are you guarding against me?"
"Of course not."
"But that's how it feels. You've made it clear before that the company will be handed over to Juniper, so I have no unrealistic expectations. I want to join the Cooper Group to start anew, not to compete with Juniper. Please believe me."
"Dad, these past six months have been so hard for me. I want a job, please grant me this."
"Didn't you say we're all your daughters? Shouldn't we be treated equally? Dad..."
"I won't compete with Juniper. I'll start from the bottom. Dad, please."
Aaron was a soft-hearted person, more susceptible to emotional pleas than confrontations.
Elara's confrontations only made him more annoyed and resistant. But Saffron's tears and pleas softened his heart, "Well, I'll ask Juniper."
'Still need to ask that bitch? Is Juniper already in charge of the Cooper family now?'
A trace of viciousness flashed in Saffron's eyes, but she pretended to be happy and joyful, "Thank you, Dad. I knew you were the best to me."
She obediently leaned into Aaron's arms, her eyes cold.
The next evening, Juniper came home at ten for the first time in a week.
She had just finished showering and changed into her pajamas.
"Juniper, are you asleep?" Aaron's voice came from outside the door.
"No, come in."
Aaron pushed the door open, "You're back."
"Yeah, do you need something?"
"Nothing, it's just that you've been coming home late recently. By the time you get back, I'm already asleep. It's been a while since I chatted with my daughter."
"Work is busy. I'll have breakfast with you this weekend." Juniper said with a smile.
"If I had known it would be this hard for you, I wouldn't have let you join the Cooper Group from the start. The pressure is so high right from the beginning, what will you do in the future?"
