Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 467

"It's no big deal. Did Florence mention to you? She wants to compete for the sales plan I assigned to you this time. It's her first time stepping up like this in the company, asking for shares as a reward. I think it's a good idea.

First, it motivates her, and second, I'm confident you'll win without a problem. Winning the shares isn't the point; it gives me a perfect reason to promote you to a key position at the headquarters."

In Hudson's view, the idea of Florence taking over the company was far-fetched, but it was good she had ambition. When thinking about the future of the company, Hudson's preference was to support Whitney.

Whitney couldn't help but smirk internally. Florence was just exploiting their father's equal love for them. But deep down, in their father's heart, Florence was still seen as the dutiful daughter. However, Whitney was determined to tear off this facade eventually. Complying, Whitney nodded, "Alright, let the competition begin. I won't disappoint you, Dad."

"That's my girl. I'll leave the arrangements to the General Manager of S-T Group. Take the kids and head home," Hudson said, before walking into the house to find Heidi and Camilla had already left. He then turned his strict gaze towards Holly. "What are you looking at me for, honey?" Holly feigned innocence.

Hudson hadn't forgotten Whitney's words by the pond. He wasn't fooled. He coldly warned again, "The Lipperts are not to be trifled with. If you're plotting something, don't mess with the Lippert's eldest branch. Jarvis and Heidi could ruin you with a snap of their fingers! Even picking on a child, I don't know what to say to you!

If you mistreat Danny next time he visits the Sheldons, then you can no longer call yourself Mrs. Sheldon!"

Holly was stunned. Sienna had mentioned divorce before, but Hudson had never threatened her so directly.

"I haven't done anything wrong! Just because Whitney slanders me, you want a divorce?!

Ever since she returned, you've been distant, planning to leave everything to your daughter with Parisa?

You're heartless, Hudson! After over twenty years..."

Hudson, known for his integrity, was exasperated. "Nonsense! When did I say I'd give everything to Whitney? You're always stirring up trouble. How could Florence have a mother like you?" Disgusted, he stormed upstairs.

Holly's face twisted in rage. As long as Whitney was around, peace would never return to their home, and everything would eventually be handed to her on a silver platter. Clenching her fists, she got up and immediately grabbed her phone.
