Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 1647

Josiah carried a tray of freshly washed strawberries over to Kelly, who was resting in bed. He offered her a strawberry with a gentle smile. Despite being married for many years, their love was as strong as when they first started dating, which sparked envy in many.

Arya knocked on the door and entered, bringing not only supplements for her mother but also a new piece of artwork she had created.

"Mom, dad, Toph and I are planning to create a more realistic comic. It's about a couple's journey from their youth to middle age, and the main characters are you two. What do you think?" Arya asked, displaying her artwork.

Pride shone on her parents' faces.

Initially, they had placed most of their hopes on Graham. It was not because they favored him but because they thought Arya's indifferent character from a young age made her unsuitable as a successor. However, it appeared that their daughter was proving to be more reliable than their son.

Kelly held Arya's hand with a serious expression. "There's something I'd like to give you."

Arya looked surprised. Kelly reached beneath her pillow and retrieved a paper bag containing the core documents of the Bayer and Tanner Groups.

"And here's the headquarters' stamp," Josiah added, handing it to her.

Arya felt uneasy holding these significant responsibilities.

"Mom, dad..."

"We're getting older, and my health is declining. I've been staying in a sanatorium, and I'm afraid I won't be able to return to manage the company for a while," Kelly explained, her seriousness evident. Josiah was no longer the cheerful man he once was. He looked at Arya with a grave expression. "Arya, we've decided to pass these responsibilities to you. You must take up this role."

Arya's eyes widened, and panic set in. She wasn't sure how to handle this.

"To be honest, we're extremely disappointed in your brother," Kelly said, rising with her frail body. "He won't be inheriting any of the Bayer or Tanner assets."

Arya bit her lip, aware that this decision came after Graham canceled his wedding with Maisie and brought Sophia and her son home.

However, she didn't feel capable of taking on this responsibility and worried about her brother.

"Mom, dad, have you considered that maybe Graham is just going through a phase? He—"

"Remember this! Don't give him a single penny!" Kelly's emotions ran high, and she coughed intensely. "Graham is my son, and I know him well. He's not just infatuated with that woman. She has him wrapped around her finger. He's no match for her. If this continues, whether it's the Bayers or Tanners, he'll lose everything sooner or later."

Josiah tried to calm his wife. "Don't worry. Maybe he's not as foolish as you think."

Kelly forced a smile but remained worried. Josiah's eyes dimmed as he held his wife in his arms.
