Chapter 1339 He Cannot Stand Family Fighting Over Inheritance
Andrea's face went pale.
She shot Natalie a resentful look, not expecting her to have recorded their conversation.
But so what? She forced herself to say, "Fine, go ahead and play it. Let's see if Adrian sides with you or believes me. Let's see if Grandpa punishes me for you or just thinks you're meddling!" Deep down, she was a bit scared.
She had indeed gotten a bit carried away just now.
Natalie had no intention of handing the recording over to Ruben. With Rachel's disappearance weighing heavily on the Howard family, no one had the energy to deal with such trivial matters.
She stood up. "Andrea, do you realize how ugly you look right now with that jealous and smug expression? There's a bathroom right there. Why don't you go take a look at yourself and see how fake your delicate smile really is?" With that, she turned and walked into the living room.
In the study.
Ruben sternly discussed the matters of Skybright Real Estate Group and emphasized that the two brothers must support each other and avoid internal conflict.
Though he was getting on in years, Ruben wasn't oblivious. He had sharp ears, and any hint of trouble reached him. The future of the Howard Group rested on these two, and he couldn't stand the thought of family members fighting over the inheritance.
Adrian and Donte, despite their differences, naturally didn't dare to say anything in Ruben's presence.
Moreover, even if they had their differences, they would still join forces when it mattered.
As they left the study, Donte walked ahead while Adrian followed slowly behind.
Donte entered the living room and saw Natalie sitting there. He walked over.
Natalie, seeing Donte approach, stood up. Although Adrian had advised her to avoid too much interaction with Donte, she nodded politely, "Donte."
Unexpectedly, Donte came closer and said, "The earrings I gave you, why aren't you wearing them? Don't you like them? If not, I can get you something else another day."
"Donte, I have something to do. I'll be leaving now." With that, Natalie sidestepped him and walked out, just in time to see Adrian coming down the stairs. She waited for him, then placed her hand in the crook of his arm, and they walked out together.
Donte raised an eyebrow. Natalie was indeed interesting, a rare find in the Howard family. It was a pity she had married his cold and distant brother, Adrian.
As he looked up, he saw Andrea coming out, watching him with a somewhat complex expression.
Donte walked over slowly. "Andrea, are you leaving? I can give you a ride."
"Sure."
Andrea got into Donte's car, a smile on her face. "Donte, you don't have to call me Andrea. Just call me Andrea. I'm your sister too, even though you weren't in Vachilit much. We knew each other when we were kids."
"We met when we were kids, but those memories are so distant, almost forgotten. The next time I heard about you was when you woke up."
Donte drove. He and Andrea hadn't seen each other much. He rarely returned to Vachilit, only coming back for special occasions.
Even his relationship with Ruben was quite distant.
He had indeed seen Andrea a few times when he was younger.
Andrea had always been by Adrian's side, then fell into a coma and became a vegetative state. She was in a coma for seven years and only woke up to attend Adrian and Natalie's wedding, which was the first time Donte had seen her since.
