Chapter 181 Let Rosie Off

This Time

Dalton was taken aback and refused without a second thought. He said, "Dad, I still want to act. Don't try to change my mind. We agreed from the beginning- Ernst would run the company, and I could do whatever I

wanted."

He immediately regretted the harsh words he had aimed at Ernst earlier. His father's stern expression made him uneasy.

When he glanced at Giselle, who remained silent, he realized his father wasn't joking this time.

Ready to get away quickly, Dalton turned for the elevator.

"Stop right there!" Shepard barked. "Trying to run away again?"

Dalton stopped unwillingly and quickly voiced a thought that had just occurred to him. "Dad, you can't just change your mind. We had an agreement... Moreover, I think Ernst has been doing well managing the Harper Group. Even if he made a mistake, shouldn't he have a chance to fix it?"

Feeling a little bad about what he had just said, he looked at Brenna.

Brenna's expression stayed calm. She had no intention of arguing and simply watched him quietly, waiting to hear what he would say next.

Dalton felt cornered. "Dad, Brenna, how about this? Ernst accepts the punishment and leaves the Harper Group, just like we originally agreed. But what if we compromise? Let him step away for just a year, and then give him a chance to come back to the company. That would work, right?”

Shepard wasn't asking Ernst to step down merely because of the bet. He genuinely believed that Ernst wasn't thinking clearly and that placing the Harper Group in his hands was far too risky.
