Chapter 162
Cameron stormed into the room, her anger flaring with the same bitchy Intensity. “Who said you could toaster your shares, Taylor?
“And you, Lola! This company is Harry’s life’s work, and you’ve torn it apart? This is fucking outrageons Over my dead body will you take ownership of this company!”
Everyone, including Lola, was flabbergasted.
Lola stepped forward and explained, “How is Harry going to run this company when he’s in jail, Cameron? I’ve been in this company for over a decade. There’s no one here more qualified to take this position than I am
“No one more qualified, my foot! You think I don’t know what you’re planning? You’re stealing your own brother’s wealth right in front of us!” Cameron shrieked.
“That’s not what’s happening, Cameron. I bought these shares with my own money. I didn’t steal them.”
“Your brother’s being fined close to 13,000,000 dollars by the IRS because of this company, and now he’s drowning in debt. And here you are, taking his company from him. How is this not stealing? Hand over those shares, now!”
At this point, Lola stopped smiling and grew more arrogant “It’s his fault for cheating the IRS and breaking Taw. In fact, he embezzled so much money from the company that we almost had to fork out money to cover the
losses ourselves!
“This company would have gone under a long time ago if Taylor hadn’t stepped up and forced him to cover the gaps!
“If it had collapsed, we–the shareholders–would have been the ones drowning in debt!”
“I don’t fucking care! Give me your shares, now!” Cameron demanded.
“Not a chance.”
“How dare you… That’s it, I’ve had enough!”
Cameron’s rage grew so intense that she lunged at Lola, grabbing her hair when she was caught completely off guard.
Fortunately, Zeke and his children were there and overpowered Cameron in no time.
And where was I? Standing to the side, clicking my tongue as I watched their glorious battle unfold.
It was true what they said, “Money is the root of all evil.”
Family… blood… none of that matters when temptation called, especially when it was money.
To some, money was everything. They’d kill for it.
My phone suddenly rang, interrupting my enjoyment as a spectator.
It was Cherry. The first thought that came to mind was that something at the company needed my attention.
Thus, I said, “Aunt Lola, Mrs. Jones, I’ve got to go. You two sort it out like adults, okay?”
Just as I was about to leave, Cameron snapped back to her senses and yelled, “Hold it right there, Taylor! Cough
up the money you received right now!
“I can’t believe this… Harry’s own daughter and sister, both ganging up against him to take over his company…
Chapter 167
You two are like wolves, devouring each other at the smell of blood!”
“Well, Cameron… Karma’s a bitch, isn’t it? You two have insulted my dead mother for over 20 years. Be glad this is all I’m doing in return.” With that, I left with a faint smile
Somehow, I agreed with Cameron: 1 was a vicious wolf.
But there’s a saying I believed in, “Women have to be ruthless to stay strong.”
In any case, I had no regrets about what I’d done,
After I returned to the company and finished my tasks, the thought of the 8,000,000 dollars sitting in my account made me uneasy for some reason.
I should probably return it to Soren, even though I knew he was so wealthy that such a small sum wouldn’t even make a dent in his empire.
Still, I wasn’t about to be a shameless woman, so I decided I’d repay him little by little.
I wasn’t sure whether I truly wanted to return the money quickly or simply longed to hear his voice again. Either way, my decision felt clearer now..
During my lunch break, I called Soren, my heart pounding as the call went through.
The line rang for a while, and I thought he might be busy.
Just as I was about to hang up, I suddenly heard his voice. “Yes, Taylor?”
My slight disappointment vanished instantly, and I became very polite as I asked, “Um… Am I interrupting you?”
He chuckled. “Not at all.”
He sounded a bit embarrassed as he continued, “I… uh… was actually just in the washroom, but I rushed out the moment I heard my phone ring.”
