Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts

Chapter 244

Erica had been busy in her study room when she knew Phoebe was there. Eventually, she got caught up in their conversation, unconsciously dropping her work and paying attention to their conversation. Finally, she couldn't resist coming out of the study room.

Seeing her come out, Ines felt embarrassed, "Mom, did we disturb you with our loud conversation?" They were speaking a bit loud. She was so excited that she forgot Erica was busy in the study room.

"No, I'm glad to see you so happy." Erica saw Ines with a face full of smiles and felt pretty good herself. She walked over and patted her on the shoulder.

Phoebe immediately stood up politely to greet her, "Hello, I'm Izzy's good friend, Phoebe. You can call me Nor."

Erica looked at Phoebe and suddenly realized, "I remember you. You're the lady from the Wagner family. I remember someone tried to set you up with Ethan, but he was already married to Izzy, so it was cancelled."

Phoebe nodded and said generously, "Auntie, you have a good memory. It was indeed me. I planned to introduce Izzy to Ethan, but they were already together."

Erica sat down on the sofa, "It seems fate is something destined."

"Yes." Phoebe smiled and said.

"I just heard you guys talking about Izzy's childhood. Was she really such a troublemaker?"

"Mom." Ines looked at Erica shyly, looking like she was coy.

knowing they had a good mother-daughter relationship, Phoebe got the hint and said, "She was mostly normal, just occasionally a bit mischievous, and when she was, everyone would have to suffer with her."

"I guess I don't have to worry about my grandchildren being bullied. Their parents are not to be messed with," Erica said happily.

"Auntie, you can rest assured that will never happen."

Erica looked at Phoebe, who was generous and proper, and couldn't help but say, "Nor, do you have a boyfriend now?"

Phoebe was taken aback, then shook her head, "Not yet."

Hearing this, Erica became interested, "I have a guy here. Would you like to meet him? He's much like Ethan, definitely a good choice."

Ines was amused. It seemed that older people were particularly keen on these things, and even Erica was no exception. She knew without thinking that Erica was referring to Aaron Swanson. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Receiving a plea for help from Phoebe, Ines whispered something into Erica's ear, and Erica immediately laughed, "So Nor has been spotted by Noel Yates. That boy has good taste this time. I'll have to praise him later."

Phoebe was somewhat shy, "That's his business. I haven't agreed yet."

Erica laughed happily, "Noel has met his match this time. Women should make men work a bit harder. We can't always let them get us easily. Let them know we're not easy to get. They'll cherish us more."

Ines looked at Erica with a glum face, "Mom, then I'm at a loss. Ethan didn't even chase me much, and I just easily married him."

Seeing Ines able to joke around, Erica knew she had accepted the fact of Hunter's departure. So she was in a good mood and kept laughing.

Phoebe said gleefully, "Izzy, who told you to be so impulsive? It's too late to regret it now."

Ines hummed lightly, "I have no regrets. I've always been happy."

Phoebe looked at Erica with a wounded expression, "Auntie, some people just love to torment us. Single people. It's too much."

The living room was filled with laughter. Ines's phone rang at that moment. It was Ethan calling to say that Shirley had gone to the company with a lawyer, demanding to inherit all of Hunter's property. Ethan asked her to stay at home. He would come to pick her up and go to the company.

Erica also heard Ethan's words and frowned, "Shirley is really shameless. Instead of stabilizing the Galeana Group at this time, she went to the company with a lawyer. What on earth is she thinking? Does she have no brain?"

Ines also frowned slightly. Only then did she calm down and think about a problem. Hunter was already dead. Even if she wanted to help him manage the Galeana Group, it wouldn't be easy. Shirley would definitely try to obstruct her.

Phoebe couldn't resist saying, "She's always been a bad one. Her whole purpose in getting into the Galeana family was for the inheritance. It's just her style to stir up trouble at this time."

Ethan arrived soon, and Ines had already changed her clothes and was waiting for him. When Ines got in the car, she asked Ethan about the situation, "What's going on? What does she want?"

"She wants the Galeana Group's shares."

Ines laughed sarcastically, "Her? If she takes over the company, it will be bankrupt within a year." "Silas was busy dealing with branch affairs this morning. His phone has been busy. I can't contact him for now. I left him a message asking him to come back as soon as possible to see if your dad had any arrangements for the company before he died. If he did, it would be easy to deal with, if not, things would definitely be difficult." Ethan's expression was also heavy.

Seeing him like this, Ines felt more worried.

In the chairman's office of the Galeana Group. Emma was dealing with some urgent matters when she was suddenly called into the office by Shirley. She felt a bit annoyed, "Mom, what are you doing in the Galeana Group? Didn't you see that the Galeana Group's stock price is already falling? What mess are you here to add now?" Her intuition told her it wasn't anything good.

"I'm not here to cause trouble. I just want to get what's rightfully ours. Haven't you noticed? Ethan's been hanging around the Galeana Group these past few days. If he keeps this up, where does that leave us in the Galeana Group?" Shirley disagreed with Emma's point of view, growing more disillusioned by her actions.

Emma's voice was laced with fatigue. One hand on her stomach, the other massaging her temples, "Mom, I've been busting my hump these past days, doing my best to keep the company's image steady. Things are just starting to stabilize today. Can't you wrap your head around the current situation?" "This can't be put off any longer, the sooner it's resolved, the sooner I can have peace of mind. I need to get hold of your father's shares today." Shirley brushed off Emma's words.
