A Second Chance at Forever Chapter 1148

Chapter 1148

Karan insisted that Tyler had fessed up. Yeah, Tyler did admit it, but Liana hadn’t heard it for herself. She was at the hospital at the time, and all her news came from Karan So, when Liana saw Hubert paying off those little thugs, she was gobsmacked But at the same time, she was confused if it wasn’t Tyler’s doing why would he admit it?

Liana wanted to clear up these questions, but Karan was clearly not going to spill the beans. She hesitated for a moment, then walked over to Karan, squatted down beside her like when she was a child, put her hand on her leg, and looked up at her.

“Auntie, I’m your favorite girl I’ve always considered you as a mother figure We’re both from a small village, and we should care for each other, help each other, trust each other You know Damien Howell is still young, his cousins are eyeing the inheritance. The Howell family is a shareholder system, maybe one day, these cousins will take over, then Damien’s position as heir will be in jeopardy. Even though I’m in A City now, I have a lot of clout behind me. The Laurence family can influence the Howell family If you trust me and tell me the truth, then I will help Damien become the heir of the Howell family in the future.”

These words were indeed touching and hit Karan right in the feels Before Tyler’s death, she was worried that Tyler would become the heir and kick her out of the Howell family Now, she had to worry about Damien’s cousins for her son’s sake.

This shareholder thing is seriously annoying, it’s like anyone can stick their nose in. Clearly, Hackett Howell is the chairman, even though the Howell family was built by all the siblings together, but Hackett was the head honcho. Why should other people have a say in the heir’s position?

Karan was so pissed off just by thinking of it, but she kept silent, looking into Liana’s clear eyes. She felt like Liana was not trying to trick her into revealing the truth, but regardless of whether Liana was trying to trick her, Karan could not spill the beans. Instead, she needed to keep Liana on her side, so she could help Damien in the future, and use the power of the Laurence family behind her, to be Damien’s biggest backup.

you

Thinking about this, Karan lifted her hand, placed it on Liana’s hand, gently patting while praising her for her understanding. “Liana, I’m so grateful to have a niece like You’re willing to help Damien, and I won’t let you down. When the Howell family redistributes the shares, I’ll have a word with your uncle, and you will have your share”

This way, both Liana and Damien would have shares, and when it came to choosing the heir, Damien would definitely be the top dog, no one could surpass him

Hearing this, the bookish Damien sitting beside them had a shadow flicker in his eyes. The Howell family’s shares had already been allocated, if Liana were to join in, wouldn’t that mean even less for him?

If Liana knew the truth and chose not to help him, but instead helped others, wouldn’t that be like creating an enemy for him? Rather than taking this risk, they might as well keep Liana out of the Howell family business entirely, to avoid future trouble

Considering these, Damien put down his book, took off his glasses, and gave his scheming mother a cold look, “Mom, didn’t you tell Hubert to hurt Liana? Why not admit it?”

Karan was stunned by this remark.

Her wide eyes seemed to ask, how do you know?

Damien, seeing through her thoughts, said expressionlessly. “Two years ago, when you and Hubert were arguing in the room, I happened to overhear”

Two years ago, Hubert did come to her for money Unwilling to support this greedy man any longer, Hubert threatened her with that incident, which led to their argument. She never thought Damien would overhear….

Damien was only five at the time, but he remembered so clearly. Why didn’t he tell her right away? Why wait until she proposed giving Liana shares to bring it up? Did he feel

threatened?

Karan’s shocked eyes met Damien’s indifference, her heart pounding..

Because she suddenly felt like she didn’t know her son at all. She was more scared than when Aidyn accused her of being the other woman. At least Aidyn blamed her for her flawed values, accused her of not trying hard enough to change, but the feeling Damien gave her was a deep–seated indifference….

She suddenly felt that this kind of person could hurt his own family for his own gain, let alone this feeling was coming from a seven–year–old…

Karan was a bit scared, wanting to stand up and teach Damien a lesson. She felt that he was only seven, and there was still a chance to educate him. But she was stopped. by Liana

She looked down and saw Liana’s pale face, bloodshot eyes, and trembling body. She realized that Liana knew the truth, and quickly denied, “I… I didn’t, it was Damien who misheard. He was only five then He didn’t understand anything.”
