Chapter 389: Love Mixed with Guilt

There was nothing wrong with Kate’s words.

Wendy’s status was indeed higher than the two aunts’.

Most importantly, she was the only child of Patriarch Gale’s favorite son.

The old man loved his granddaughter as much as he loved his little son.

Therefore, no one would dare to bully her here.

However, what Kate said was unacceptable for the two daughters of Patriarch Gale.

More than that, it was an offense.

Lottie and Sasha were furious.

They received no respect from this damn girl since she had returned who even interfered with their
matters.

And now, she even wanted a share of the Gale Group!

“Dad, no one in this family would to bully her, but she can’t bully others.”

Lottie really didn’t want to argue with a little girl, but these people were going too far.

Sasha also said angrily, “She doesn’t know anything about the Gale Group, but she keeps ordering
around my people.”

“When something went wrong, she blamed it all on us. I scolded her because I couldn’t take it
anymore.”

“Wendy is still a little girl. You should be easy on her.”



The old man’s words revealed his partiality for Wendy.

He looked at his two daughters angrily.

“Wendy is your younger brother’s biological daughter. I will give her twice what your brother used to
have.”

“The Gale Group will also be Wendy’s in the future. If she wants to work there, you should help her
instead of doing everything you can to stop her.”

“Dad, what are you talking about? Are you going to give the Gale Group to an outsider?”

Sasha was already on the verge of lashing out. Hearing that, she couldn’t hold back the anger any
longer!

“Dad, you …”

“Is there a problem? I planned to leave the Gale Group to Harley. Now that he is no longer with us, I
should give it to her daughter.”

“But, Dad, we have also devoted a lot to the Gale Group!”

Sasha almost cried!

Dad only cared about his youngest son, Harley. The two daughters had been by his side and helped
him for so many years, and they at least should get some credit for it!

Didn’t he appreciate their effort at all?

Although Lottie acted calm, she secretly clenched her fists.

Her sharp fingernails almost pinched through her skin.



Patriarch Gale really wanted to give the Gale Group to Harley’s child.

What about their children?

Right now, the most outstanding young person in the family was her eldest son, Joseph. He had just
become the CEO of the Gale Group. Everyone had witnessed his abilities over the years.

Would her son be suppressed because of Wendy's return?

“Anyway, the Gale Group will be Wendy’s in the future. I don’t want to argue with you guys. Whoever
objects can come to see me tonight!”

Then, Patriarch Gale said with a sullen expression, “Milo, send them out.”

“Yes.”

Milo looked at everyone and shook his head, “Let’s go out first. Let Miss Wendy have a good rest. We
can talk about this later.”

Sasha still wanted to say something, but was stopped by Milo who gave her a hint with his eyes.

Patriarch Gale was angry now. He was not in the mood of arguing.

“Grandpa, we are leaving now. You can spend some time with Wendy.”

Joseph acted calm. He held his mother by the arm and said, “Mom, let’s go out.”

Lottie nodded. Her son was always so calm and mature.

She was proud of him.



Unfortunately, his surname wasn’t Gale at first. After he took his mother's surname, Patriarch Gale still
didn’t treat him as the real young master of the Gale family.

Seeing that her sister had left, Sasha could only follow her. She didn’t want to confront her father alone.

Otherwise, she would have to take full responsibility.

Milo took everyone out of Wendy’s room.

When they reached the hall, Sasha finally lost her temper.

“Milo, you have seen what kind of person this Miss is.”

“She has been trying to sow discord in this family. She always says that we bully her, but you know the
truth!”

“Who have bullied her after she came back? Who dares to bully her?”

Milo moved his lips, but in the end, he didn’t say anything and only sighed.

Sasha still refused to stop!

“Right now, it’s like she has used black magic on our father!”

“Madam, don’t say things like that. If Patriarch Gale hears this, he will be angry again.”

“Isn’t that so? I wonder what Wendy did to him. Why did he change completely after she came back?”

“Aunty, don’t put it like that.”

Joseph looked at her and smiled faintly, “You should know that Grandpa still feels guilty about
interfering with uncle’s relationship with Talia.”



Patriarch Gale wasn't directly responsible for Harley’s car accident.

But if Patriarch Gale hadn’t stopped him from being with Talia, Harley wouldn’t need to leave home.

If he didn’t leave, perhaps that car accident wouldn’t have happened.

“Grandpa is only making up for it by being nice to Wendy.”

Therefore, Patriarch Gale’s love for Wendy was mixed with guilt.

So he couldn’t see Wendy suffer at all.

He wanted to make up for Harley’s daughter. Actually, everyone could understand him.

Sasha looked at him and sighed.

“My son is a lost cause. He knows nothing but goof around. I don’t count on him anymore, but you’re
different!”

She looked at Lottie, still indignant.

“Sasha, look at Joseph. There’s nothing wrong with him. How come he can’t inherit the Gale Group?”

“Aunty, stop saying things like that!”

Joseph wasn’t happy to hear the compliments. Instead, he took on a serious face and said,

“Grandpa has already made it very clear that the Gale Group will be Wendy’s.”

He wasn’t unsatisfied with grandpa’s decision. He just wanted to tell everyone not to say such things
again.



No matter who said it, in the end, it would seem to others that he wanted to take over the Gale Group.

Milo also said, “Madam, for the sake of Young Master Joseph, you really shouldn’t say such things
again.”

Sasha took a deep breath and finally suppressed her anger.

Then she said, “Alright, I won’t say it again. But it's unfair. I’m still angry about it!”

“Sasha, I’ll go now!”

She turned around and left, still furious.

“Mom, you should also go back and have a good rest.”

Joseph looked at his mother and said with a gentle voice.

Lottie stared at his outstanding face for a long time. Then she nodded, “Alright, I’m leaving. You keep
an eye on grandpa.”

“I know.”

After watching them leave, Joseph was about to return to his room and continue his work.

Suddenly, the servant walked over and said respectfully, “Young Master, there are some guests
outside. They are looking for you.”

Who would come to see him at this time?

Joseph was a little surprised, “Who are they?”

The servant replied, “It seems to be … the eldest young master of the Jackson family.”
