"But did Mr. David have an affair with Celine's mother?" I was curious.
"Since Celine is only a year younger than Louis, David's reputation took a hit." Rose declared, "Facts speak louder than words!" ""So, Mr. David handed the family business to Louis?" I analyzed the situation. ""He must've found it hard to stop the gossip. It seems he had no choice." Rose nodded. "Exactly. By then, David was quite old. He kept that power for a long time, but the Cross family pressured him to give it to Louis. Louis had no interest in taking over the so- called family legacy, especially considering how much it had shrunk over the years." "Did this have to do with the Cross

"Of course it did. How could the Cross family bear this? After all, Nancy was their gem. Her beauty and brains made her a famous high society lady." Any woman praised by Rose could not be ordinary.
"Have you met her?" I asked.
"We met several times at family gatherings. She was indeed a beauty. I just don’t understand how David could cheat on her.
"So, after Nancy's passing, rumors ran rampant. Naturally, the Cross family couldn't accept it. David didn't help his case. Not long after, he brought Celine's mother home. It's clear how formidable this woman's tactics are.

"It was called the Pierce Corporation because David and his younger brother, Douglas, co-founded it. But after Adeline entered the picture, David retracted Douglas's rights, leaving him hanging. His position existed only in name." I was utterly astonished. It seemed this woman was indeed a master of manipulation.
"This made things worse for the Pierce
family. It's clear what kind of person Adeline is. Eventually, David realized that the Pierce family might vanish completely. So, he entrusted the entire Pierce family to Louis." "It was a move made out of necessity," I sighed. "I didn't expect the Pierce family's history to be so dramatic." "Louis had already laid the groundwork. Even after losing their daughter, the Cross family did not give up on their grandson. Plus, Louis spent his childhood in the Cross family's care. He didn’t have a strong bond with his father." "Why did Louis hand over the family business to Celine after?" I was a bit puzzled.
