Chapter 216 Persuasion to Go Back

As soon as he slumped down in his chair, Daisy called to apologize.

Samuel screamed into the phone, "Do you know how much money and manpower I invested in this product?"

"I didn't expect Joseph to be so calculating..." Daisy said with frustration, "Joseph and Kate are now suspicious of me. Yesterday I asked the sales manager about the new product launch time, but he wouldn't tell me. The whole reason they changed the date was to get ahead of you and intercept your product!"

Daisy and Samuel planned to release their copycat product before Joseph announced his, but Samuel's plan completely backfired.

"I won't be scammed by you! You and Kate are sisters, I don't believe that you would betray her!" Samuel expressed. He always felt that Daisy only wanted to work with him to steal information.

"President Smith, I can understand why you are upset but I did not betray you. I also wanted Joseph to lose!" Daisy reminded him.

"A verbal promise is not enough any longer. I need you to prove yourself with your actions!" Samuel demanded.

"Don't forget that I still have an ace up my sleeve!" Daisy boasted, "Remember Kate?"

"What do you mean?" When Samuel heard Kate's name, his heart trembled and asked uncertainly, "Are you going to attack her?"

"You want to protect her?" Daisy laughed sarcastically, "No matter how much you love her, she still loves Joseph. That is the truth and you know it. You need to have your own career, then you can defeat Joseph and get what you want!"

Samuel thought that Daisy's point made sense, so he did not argue. However, he did warn her, "I will give you another chance. If you dare to lie to me, I will not let you get away next time!"

"The same goes for you!" Daisy was not afraid of his threats. She only needed to use him to defeat Joseph and Kate.

In Joseph's office, Vincent Smith sat quietly for a long time. Joseph already guessed why he was there but finally took the initiative to ask, "Grandpa, did you come here in person to tell me something?"

"Joseph," Mr. Smith's tone was unprecedently gentle.

Joseph looked at the gray-haired old man. He had a serious look and it appeared that he had a lot to say.

"Just say what you want," Joseph nodded.

"You really don't plan to come back to Smith Group?" Mr. Smith was almost pleading with him.

Joseph shook his head, "No, I am not going to come back."

"Grandpa, instead of begging me to go back, it would be more beneficial for you to have confidence in Samuel. He is competent and can fulfill his position as president. His biggest problem right now is that he is too eager to win. If he can keep his feet on the ground, Smith Group will grow," Joseph urged. Since his grandfather was polite and respectful, Joseph wanted to help him.

"Of course, he understands all of this, but he is too impulsive. He has regrets but does not take them into consideration when he makes a mistake. He immediately forgets the lesson he should have learned from the previous mistake and continues on to do irrational things!" Mr. Smith's tone changed.

Joseph explained, "The last two times he made mistakes, he had bad intentions and was trying to damage my company. I had to take countermeasures for my business but was no intent on causing trouble for Smith Group. I hope you can forgive me!"

If the other company was not Smith Group, Joseph would not have been so polite. He would have taken countermeasures, and hit the company with a heavy blow.

Mr. Smith understood that Joseph was doing what he needed to for his company, "You cannot deny the fact that you are my grandson!"

As soon as Vincent's tone became threatening, the atmosphere in the office shifted.

"If you still want to control me, it will only make the situation worse!" Joseph's attitude was very clear, "Now JK is my career, I will not give it up for any reason!"

Mr. Smith snapped, "Since you are determined to separate from the Smith family, I will help you!"

Joseph wasn't sure what his grandfather was thinking, but from his expression, Joseph could see that he was offended.

Kate was finishing up her work and about to go to Joseph's mansion when Daisy knocked on her door. She smiled and asked, "Kate, can we have dinner tonight?"

"But I..."

"I know you and Lord Joseph are inseparable now. I get that you want to be together every minute of every day. But please don't ignore your sister?" Daisy pestered, "If you really want to go there, can you go after we have something to eat?"

"Okay," Kate replied. Having dinner with Daisy would give her the opportunity to ask her about the new product launch. She didn't believe that Daisy would do something so immoral, but Joseph created doubt and she needed to know the truth.

When they were seated in a private room at the restaurant, Kate took out her phone and called Anna.

When Daisy heard who Kate was talking to, she grabbed the phone and barked, "Kate and I are dining out tonight. If you are hungry, you can have some snacks or make something for yourself!"

Daisy hung up and passed the phone back to Kate.

"Daisy, you..."

"Kate, I can only handle so much. I still cannot forget the past and be kind to her like you are," Daisy said with hatred.

In order to prevent Kate from suspecting that she harmed Anna, she added, "Don't worry, when you are not at home, I will not let her starve."
