His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 653

Last month, Derrick said he would be traveling for business. He was away for several days and had just returned. Was he gone again already?

He had been going back and forth so frequently recently that Joseph had lost track of him. His current focus was on Damian, and he felt obligated to back him up. While Joseph still desired his mistress to join them, he had not made concrete plans for her.

"Yes!" Arianna was surprised, "Didn't you know?"

"How would I know? I haven’t seen him recently," Joseph lightly snorted, then asked, "By the way, do you know what Derrick has been busy with recently? Does the company have any major projects? Why is he always traveling?"

The truth was that Joseph was entirely unsuitable for business. Despite his ambition, he was no match for Derrick in terms of capabilities.

However, Benedict was Derrick’s only son and was not interested in doing business. Seeing there was hope, he wanted to take the Tanners’ property into his own hands so that Damian could inherit it.

"I’m not sure. There’s nothing big that requires Uncle Derrick to make so many trips in person. I asked his secretary, but she didn't know either. In fact, I heard..."

Her voice suddenly became softer, and her mysterious appearance aroused Joseph's curiosity, "What did you hear?"

She looked left and right, waved to the servant to step back, and said in her father's ear, "Actually, I heard that Uncle Derrick was in a hurry because of Benedict's affairs. Furthermore, his health was not great, so he was actually hospitalized when he claimed to be away on business. It’s just that nobody talks about this because it’s a secret.”
