Chapter 89
At this point, everyone in the conference room was already picturing Cyrus storming home to give Simone a serious scolding. But what they heard the next second made them question their very exidence.
Cyrus said softly, “Simone, don’t be upset, okay? I just wanted to stand up for you. That didn’t sound like any boss, it didn’t even sound like a man,
Cyrus thought for a moment, then added, “And it was just hundreds of millions, it’s not that much”
Hearing this, the others thought, “The world of the rich is truly beyond our understanding.
There had always been rumors that Cyrus spoiled his daughter, but this was the first time they’d seen it for themselves. They thought. This isn’t jus spoiling. This is full–on daughter worship“
Right now, Cyrus was frowning, surprised that
a Simone was mad about this.
On the other end, Simone was so shocked by Cyrus’s words that she was completely at a loss. “But you can’t just throw money around like that,” she stammered. Just thinking about the amount made Simone’s heartache.
Cyrus hadn’t expected Simone to call just to complain about him spending too much. He found it funny.
He said. “Don’t worry, Simone. I’ll save where I can and spend where I should. I am going to make plenty more money in the future, and when I do. it’s all for you
Simone, flustered by his words, quickly found an excuse to hang up. She said. “Alright, I’m still busy, gotta go”
“She’s even shy about it. Cyrus said still grinning at his phone.
Someone had recorded the entire call between Cyrus and Simone and sent it to the company group chat. The chat was blowing up.
One exclaimed. [Wait, is that the usually sharp–tongued Mr. Irwin!]
Another said: [He spends all day chewing us out at work, but goes home just to get bossed around by his daughter. The thought alone cracks me up.]
Someone said: [Mr. Irwin’s daughter is a legend. One sentence from her and he goes full baby voice. I’m dying over here.
Our said: If the Irwin Group ever goes under, Mr. Irwin won’t have to worry about making a living. He can always make a side hustle out of that cutesy voice for his daughter ]
person said: Speaking of money. I’m losing my mind with jealousy. Hundreds of millions, just to make his daughter feel better? What kind of family is this?]
Oor said: Who would’ve thought Mr. Irwin is such a daughter simp? Seriously, does he need another daughter!)
The Spence Group had already taken a massive hit before, but it was the final blow this time. The company was officially bankrupt
All their money had been sunk into the medical device project. Now that it had crashed and burned, they couldn’t pay anyone, not the executives not the workers, not anybody
The entrance of the Spence Group building was packed with workers demanding their wages, blocking every way in or out. Samuel and Charles were holed up in the office, faces dark, cluin–smoking, Suddenly, Samuel’s phone started ringing.

“Hello? Who is this?” Samuel asked. His voice was r
Sirah replied. “It’s Sarahı”
Samuel anmmediately stubbed out his cigarette and shot up from has chair. His tone was butter as he asked. “You calling now just to watch me
Samuel had no idea what he’d done to offend Synexus Group. He thought. If Irwin Group is coming after us because of Simone, then what about SynNexus? What is their trasant He just couldn’t figure it out
the other end. Sarah spoke up. “Mr. Spence, we’ll buy the Spence Group for itil million.
What do you say?
Samuel froze at her words. Instead of answering, he asked, “Why are you doing this to me? I’ve never done anything to Symblexus Group?”
Sarah let out a tough. She said, “Mr. Spence, there’s no need for so many whys. In business, it’s survival of the fittest. You just weren’t good enough

I’ll give you three days to think it over.” With that, she hung up.
Samuel’s grip on his phone tightened, his knuckles turning white. The Spence Group was his life’s work, he couldn’t just stand by and watch it get sold off
That afternoon, Samuel brought Charles to Simone’s school. They had been waiting outside the gates for a long time.
As soon as Simone walked out, she was stopped. “You two again!” she said, though she didn’t look the least bit surprised.
“Let’s talk, Samuel said calmly to Simone.
“Sure.” Simone agreed right away. She was in a good mood today and didn’t mind humoring them.
They found a cafe nearby, and as soon as they sat down, Samuel slid a contract across the table to Simone
Summone’s expression didn’t change. She flipped through the contract carelessly, glanced at a few pages, then closed it.
Samuel looked at Simone and said gently. Didn’t you want to join the company before! Well, I agree now.
Simone couldn’t help but laugh. She said, “Did you forget how much you hated the idea before Spence Group ran wouldn’t even give me one percent.
nran into trouble! Back then, you
Irwin Go
Group to back
And now you’re suddenly willing to hand over fifteen percent? That’s a first. But I’m guessing the catch is you want me to get off and help Spence Group out of this mess, right?” Simone shot Samuel a cold look.
Samuel and Charles both froze, clearly not expecting Simone to see right through them. Samuel asked, “How did you know!”
Simone sneered, “You think I’m as clueless as you two?”
Samuel looked at Simone seriously. He said. “Simone, Spence Group is about to go bankrupt. The only one who can save us now is the Irwin Group If Cyrus is willing to help. I’ll give you’fifteen percent. No strings attached
Simone said, “Give? Isn’t this just another deal? You make it sound so generous. Samuel, has anyone ever told you how much you and your daughter are alike! Last time, Stella tried the same thing with a contract. Like father, like daughter.”
With that Simone picked up the contract and tore it to shreds right in front of them. She continued, “You want me to convince Cyrus! Keep dreaming.
“Honestly, I’d love to see Cyrus hit the Spence Group even harder. The fact that you came to me for help? That’s just plain stupid”
For once, Charles lost his usual cool and couldn’t hold hack his anger. He said. “Simone, how can you be so heartless? The Spence family is about to go bankrupt, and you re just going to stand there and watch! How could you be so cruel?”
Simone didn’t even bat an eye. She stared straight at Charles, her gaze full of mockery. She sneered, “Heartless? Charles, the real heartless ones are you and Raymond.
Did you already forget those days in the orphanage, fighting stray dogs for scraps! Who was it that brought you into the Spence Family! Don’t you dare forget that. Without me, Charles, you’d still be nothing but abeggar”
