The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

Chapter 2155

George hurriedly explained to his older brother, “I nagged Dad for three whole months, trying to get him to change his mind. In the end, Dad told me that if | took over the reins of the group, you wouldn't have to work so hard. | thought about how my thing with Jennifer hurt you, and if | could make your days ahead a bit easier, a bit happier.”

That’s why he showed up at the company’s annual meeting!! Later, his brother mentioned he had a new dream; he wanted to chase after his own dream and start his venture outside. How could a younger brother not support him?This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

And later, his brother made a success of himself and married Donna. George thought the matter of his brother liking Jennifer had turned the page.

But he never expected that, about two decades later, his brother would stand before him and say he couldn't get past it for the rest of his life.

Tomas didn’t expect that his younger brother’s insistence with their father had been for his sake, to let him inherit the company. He was completely stunned.

At that moment, Phillip, who was sitting at the main seat, spoke up.

“From the time you were in kindergarten until you graduated from college, | raised both of you as my successors. You attended the same private lessons, all designed around shaping a competent and outstanding heir. As a father, | never favored one over the other.”

Tomas was somewhat surprised, as he had always thought that his father only trained him, and he didn’t expect his brother to be included.

Phillip’s gaze settled on Tomas, “You've always had better grades than George, but George is more adaptable, flexible, and knows how to improvise. By contrast, you’ve always been too by-the-book.”

Phillip’s words caused Tomas to pause in thought. He had always believed his academic excellence was more than enough to overshadow his brother.

He hadn't anticipated that in their father’s mind, grades were not the only criterion for evaluation. What his father valued more was flexibility and adaptability in action.

“Since childhood, George has been capable of resilience; he was not a slave to his emotions, unlike you, who can be easily shrouded in negativity for so long. He has his own principles and approach to life. In contrast, you stick to the rules. With the group in your hands, it’s hard to expect breakthroughs.”

Tomas, who had always seen himself as the chosen one, felt like he’d been struck by a bolt from the blue upon hearing his father’s words.

Phillip continued, “Before | announced the successor, | did talk to George a few times. But George felt he was too flighty than you, his calm older brother. Besides, the tradition among the other prominent families was always to pass the company to the eldest, and he didn’t think there was a precedent for giving it to a younger son, so he kept refusing. But | trust my judgment.”
