My arrival plunged the scene into a dead silence. No one expected that I, who was far away abroad, would suddenly appear at the door of the conference room.
This frightened the people who betrayed me so much that they tightened their necks and trembled subconsciously.
Only Scarlett was still sitting calmly in the seat that belonged to me, smoking elegantly.
Even the lingering smoke could not hide her ambition.
"Sister, what nonsense are you talking about? Although I am the illegitimate daughter, Madam Kingston loves me. She values my abilities more. Handing the Kingston family over to me is a decision she has carefully considered."
"I, Scarlett, swear to God, I didn't use any tricks."
"Since Madam Kingston dared to pass on the family fortune to me, I will definitely live up to her trust and lead the Kingston family into a wider world."
"So, while I'm in charge, I will never allow anyone to interfere or hinder me from doing my job."
As soon as the words fell, those ambitious eyes concealed a coldness that stabbed straight at me like a knife.
It's a pity that I have seen all kinds of storms and waves, so how could I capsize in a small ditch like hers?
