Chapter 51 Getting a Job

"But we have—"He wanted to say they had the card, but Queenie interrupted, "Don't even get any ideas about that card. I won't take anyone's charity, Nono. It's beneath me."She added, "Besides, we don't know where that card came from, nor do we know who gave it to us. Do you think we can just use it?"Nox scratched his head. He had no idea how to answer that."Just go back downstairs. I need to start my job hunt." She chased Nox away.Nox felt a little miffed. "Guess it was a wrong call having Alex give us free money. Wonder how his purchase is going."…Ever since Queenie went with Nox, the Sanderses had been plunged into a dilemma. Centersea had ceased all partnerships with Sanders Holdings. The med factory hadn't been paying its workers for three months. They were one step away from bankruptcy.The whole family was draped in fear and uncertainty. Just then, a roar came from the residence's lobby."George, from this day onward, your daughter is no longer part of this family

Chapter 52 The Empire Corp Comes Again

Jezebiah was in a closed chamber. He asked, "Now that the bitch is exiled, what should we do?"Hogs sneered. "Now we just have to take all of George's shares.""But Dad, we've made an enemy out of Silas. Even if we get all of the company's shares, what will we tell him?" Jezebiah added.Hogs answered, "Don't worry. We're not the ones who made an enemy out of Silas. Besides, even if Centersea won't help us, I can still try and sell the company.""You want to sell the company? That won't be easy, Dad. We've made losses every year. Who'd buy our company?"A frown creased Hogs' brows. He wasn't confident in the family's company at all. Like Jezebiah just said, it was making heavy losses for years, and they had gone three months without paying the workers their salaries.Sanders Pharmaceuticals' production had ground to a halt, and the workers would keep coming to collect the debt. The thought of all these problems was giving Hogs a headache.And then a servant came hurrying into the

Chapter 53 Twelve Million

They could sell the company for cheap, but no one in their right mind would take it, yet Empire Corp themselves were doing something this crazy. Hogs took a deep breath."Mr. Laws, please come with me. We'll talk over tea."Ferguson waved him down. "We shall skip that. My employer has given me his command. The sooner we settle this purchase, the better."Ferguson pointed at the bespectacled man. "This is our CFO, Mr. Larson. He has gained all the necessary intel regarding your company. All that's left is the price offer. If the offer is fair, we shall proceed with the transaction."Mr. Larson smiled.Hogs couldn't believe the CFO himself was here. He wondered, 'Wow, they are fast. Not the top company in Riverton for nothing. But what offer should I make? The company has made losses every year. It's not even worth a few million. And we owe the workers three months of pay.'Hogs was wondering about the offer he should make. A moment later, he said, "This is a big decision to make,

Chapter 54 Specifically Her

Hogs was about to quote a lower price, but Ferguson said, "My employer dislikes the act of haggling, and he prefers having fives in his pricing. He is making an offer of 15 million for your company. Is that fine with you?"'15 million?' Hogs thought he was hearing things. 'Dear gods, that's a huge haul. Even at its peak, the company was only worth around that price, and now it's bankrupt, but Empire Corp is making a peak offer.'Buzzing with excitement, Hogs said, "Yes, of course. More than fine, actually."Jezebiah was grinning from ear to ear. He thought, 'Well, we just made bank.'"Can you sign the share transfer, then?" Mr. Larson held up his suitcase and whipped out the contract.Hogs quickly said, "Of course. Let me."Just as he was about to sign the papers, Ferguson said, "Mr. Sanders, I'm afraid you cannot sign the papers.""What?" Hogs was stunned.Ferguson smiled. "My employer has decreed that only Ms. Queenie Sanders can sign the papers for this purchase."The menti

Chapter 55 A Visit

The news of her permanent exile broke Queenie's heart, but she could do nothing about it. Her family used her as a chip on the table for their own profit, and now they kicked her out of the family.The thought of that ached her heart, and she was filled with fury. Still, life had to go on.Nox knew about the exile as well. He was on the first floor, looking out the window. "Alex should be done by now."Twenty minutes later, a car came to a stop before Pearl Residence. George and Yvette came out, and Yvette was talking to her husband. Eventually, she teared up. "Do you think she'll forgive us?"George inhaled deeply. "Don't worry. We're still her parents.""This is all your fault. You just had to freeze all her cards and let Hogs exile her. She's never been through this before all her life," Yvette grumbled.George knew he'd gone too far this time, so all he could do was sigh. "Alright, stop. I was just doing it for the family.""You'd toss our own daughter's happiness away for t

Chapter 56 Telling Her the Truth

"You'd sacrifice my happiness for your company? I'm your daughter! And you know how much of a scum Silas is! You'd have destroyed me if you made me marry him!"Queenie's fury grew stronger, and her eyes eventually went red.A long sigh escaped George's lips. "You're right. This is my fault. I'm sorry, Queenie. Can you forgive me?"Queenie stared at her father in petrified confusion. 'He's apologizing to me? I thought he was here to demand an explanation,' she wondered.Yvette added, "Queenie, your father has never apologized before. This is his first time. You have to forgive him."Queenie might be their child, but she was no fool. They had just exiled her an hour ago and crossed her name off the family records, and now her father was here to apologize. Something was up.A moment later, Queenie asked, "Dad, why are you suddenly apologizing to me? Did Silas tell you to do this?"George waved his hands adamantly. "No, it wasn't him.""Then why are you doing this?" Queenie had mor

Chapter 57 Terms and Conditions

"Listen to your father, Queenie. You are part of the family after all," Yvette persuaded.Queenie stayed silent for a long while. Eventually, she asked, "Dad, did Uncle Hogs send you here? Tell me the truth."Queenie's parents had no idea how to answer that, but their child was smart. She knew the answer the moment they hesitated to answer. She sneered. "I knew it. Dad, Mom, I can sign the papers, but we'll need to agree on a couple of terms.""Name it. As long as we can go through with the deal, I can do anything you ask," George promised."Good. One, I'm canceling the marriage with Silas."George said, "Of course. Sign the papers, and I'll deal with the cancellation of the marriage.""Two, from now on, you have no right to interfere with my relationship. I can date anyone I like," demanded Queenie.George and Yvette didn't agree right away, but to ensure a smooth transaction, George agreed, "Fine, I can do that."And that was that. Queenie was over the moon. She didn't care w

Chapter 58 Back Again

Hogs was pacing around in his room, waiting anxiously for Queenie and her parents' return.Jezebiah said, "Don't worry, Dad. She'll come back."Hogs harrumphed and snatched up a cigarette. He inhaled deeply. "It's odd. They want to buy our company, so why do they ask Queenie to be the one to sign? I don't understand.""Me neither," Jezebiah said. "By all accounts, that girl shouldn't even have the opportunity to get in touch with Alexander. She even made up a lie about that bastard being Alexander's godson.""True, but why did Empire Corp come for her twice, then?"Jezebiah rubbed his chin. "Maybe Alexander took a liking to her, Dad."That thought was ludicrous. "He's taken a liking to her?" Hogs was stunned."Yeah. I've heard some stories. Rich guys love pretty and innocent girls. Especially naive ladies like Queenie. And she's a virgin, too."Hogs' eyes shone. "You have a point. No, wait, that must be it.""Her personality is rotten, but she's a top-tier beauty. I bet Alexan

Chapter 59 Signing the Papers

The Empire Corp's team came in the afternoon. Ferguson was in the lead as usual, and he was followed by Mr. Larson and a team of eight bodyguards.Hogs led his family to welcome Ferguson. Queenie was tailing along. When Ferguson saw her, he smiled. "Ms. Sanders, we meet again."Queenie thought Ferguson was a nice person. She smiled. "Hello, sir."Fearing any sudden change, Hogs quickly said, "Mr. Laws, now that my niece is here, can we proceed with the signing of the contract?"Ferguson nodded. "Naturally." He beckoned at Mr. Larson.Mr. Larson came up to Queenie, bearing the purchase contract. He handed a pen to her. "Sign here, and the contract will come into effect immediately."Queenie took the pen and went through the contract.Hogs urged, "What are you waiting for? Just sign it."Jezebiah's eyes were shining with passion. Queenie's parents were staring at their daughter. Fifteen million for a dying company was something they never thought was possible, but here it was.A

Chapter 60 A Surprising Announcement

Queenie froze. "There's more?" She wondered what it could be.The Sanderses were terrified. They thought the Empire Corp would go back on their word.Mr. Larson smiled. "This is a takeover contract. Sign it, and you'll be the boss of Sanders Pharmaceuticals."Everyone inhaled sharply. Jezebiah, Hogs, and Queenie's parents were petrified. Even Queenie thought she was hearing things. "I beg your pardon?""Sign it, and you'll be taking over Sanders Pharmaceuticals.""I'm going to do what?" Queenie was close to screaming.Mr. Larson was still smiling. "You'll do exactly what you heard. Mr. Weeks' orders. This purchase is done for your sake. Of course, you'll be handling the company."Hogs, Jezebiah, and Queenie's parents exclaimed. 'What? The Empire Corp is handing over the company to Queenie?' they screamed in their minds.Queenie got the gist of it, and her eyes went wide. "You bought the company just to give it to me?""Yes, it is as you say, Ms. Sanders," Mr. Larson answered.
