"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

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,

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

"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

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
