"Enough!" I shouted as I stood abruptly, my sharp gaze sweeping across the room.
"This deal is off. You all have two choices. Walk away now, or stay and make yourselves my enemies."
"And I don’t show mercy to my enemies."
Laughter erupted from the table.
"Did you hear that? This little bitch thinks she can order us around!"
"Eleanor, do you really think you're someone important?"
"Everyone here is worth over a hundred million. What can you possibly do to fight us?"
I slowly turned my head, my anger simmering beneath the surface.
"You must have heard the saying. There is always someone stronger out there."
"I suggest you think carefully before making a choice. Because once you do, there will be no turning back."
Holly’s expression twisted with disdain.
"What did you say? You think we’re afraid of you?"
"Miss Hawking, don’t you ever forget that you’re only standing here because you’re Mr. Woods’s wife!"
"Not that it matters much longer. Haven’t you heard? Mr. Woods is going to divorce you soon!"
After hearing Holly's words, the CEOs in the room visibly relaxed. Their mockery of me grew even bolder. But that wasn’t my concern anymore.
