Chapter

The sweet words he used to sayI couldn’t stand to hear a single one anymore

But the company isn’t just yours,I cut him off

I own 20% of the shares.” 

His expression shifted slightly

What are you trying to say?” 

caught the hint of caution in his eyes, and it stung

Nothing. I just care about you.” 

If the company is in my hands, it’s better than it falling into someone else’s. At least we’re family. and we can work things out together.” 

I was still trying to talk him out of his plan to fake his own death

But Michael wouldn’t listen

He refused me again

I had to take another approach

I recently heard from a friendher family’s company is interested in investing in foreign real estate. She asked if you might be interested.” 

Michael exchanged a glance with Alice, his eyes lighting up

Where’s the investment?” 

Feigning nonchalance, I pulled out my phone

I think it’s Switzerland. But it’s a bit tricky since there’s no extradition treaty with our country.” 

No one can get you back if anything illegal happens.” 

As I spoke, I could see Michael’s interest growing. Is it a hassle?” 

136 

I shook my head

Not at all. I saved her son’s life once, so she said as long as I’m involved, she’ll agree to anything.” 

Michael looked like he’d made up his mind

Alright, you can start helping out at the company for now.” 

I felt a small sense of relief

That night, instead of heading to the kitchen to make dinner, I threw myself into studying

It had been so long since I’d dealt with company matters

I needed to work twice as hard to catch up

Suddenly, David kicked the study door open

Are you dead or what? You know dinner’s not ready?” 

A pang of hurt hit me. I hadn’t noticed before, but he had already been against me by this point

He didn’t even call me Momanymorejust heyor you.” 

I used to think it was just teenage rebellion, but now I realized he and his father both had eyes only for Alice

I turned back to my computer

Order takeout.” 

You know I’m allergic to so many things! You think takeout is fit for humans?” 

He grumbled in frustration, even reaching to drag me out of the room

I stared at him coldly

Either order takeout or go hungry.” 

I have work to do. Don’t come in again.” 

David had never been treated like this by me before

stood there, stunned, before I pushed him out and shut the door

hapt 

Once the door clicked shut, I couldn’t hold back my tears anymore

I knew I’d been reborn

I knew they had wronged me

But it still hurt

I forced myself to let go of the pain and focused entirely on my work

I wasn’t lying to Michael entirelythere was indeed a potential investment project

When the first returns came in, Michael completely let his guard down

He even handed me his personal seal

You can handle things yourself from now on,he said, holding my hand with fake tenderness

When his fingers brushed my skin, I felt every hair on my body stand on end

A chill ran down my back

His touch felt like an invisible shackle, tightening around my neck

I pretended to pour myself a glass of water to escape him

You should rest. I’m heading out to meet with Mrs. Taylor.” 

Alright.”
