"I can help you see to anything you want to achieve." Melanie knew this man was powerful, and she had to rely on him if she wanted to make a comeback.
She had to have the money and the power.
"Do you think my money grows on trees?"
He was clearly implying that he wouldn't waste his manpower and resources on useless people, even if his money did grow on trees.
Melanie would've froth at the mouth if she had heard such humiliating words in the past, but now, she swallowed it all down and said ruthlessly, "Don't you want to go against Hanson Luke? I can help you with that."
The man's sneer finally stopped after she said so. "Wait for my call."
Clearly, he had found some use for Melaine.
Very quickly, she received an address on her phone to a rather remotely located small apartment.
"Mom, let's go."
She never felt much kinship with George, to begin with, so it didn't matter if he joined them or not.
"Let's go to Galaxy Corporation first." A scheme surfaced beneath Josie's eyes.
"What for?"
Galaxy Corporation was Vania's company, and Josie's suggestion baffled Melanie. Could her mother still be thinking of begging Vania? No way was Melanie going to do that.
"To get money, of course. We're penniless right now," said Josie with imperative confidence.
Melanie hit the roof in response. "Mom, are you crazy?! Do you not realize it's all thanks to Vania that we're now in this situation!? As if she'll give us any money. Also, I don't want a single penny from her."
She just wanted that b*tch to face a tragic end.
"We have a lot of things to see to. How can we do any of it if we don't have money? I already have a plan. You don't have to show yourself. Just watch me do my thing."
"What do you have in mind?" Melanie couldn't help asking, seeing the determination in Josie's eyes, but Josie didn't disclose. "Just wait for my good news."
With that, she took Melanie to Galaxy Corporation.
Josie was long unkempt after having been wailing all morning, so it was only natural that the guards stopped her when she approached Galaxy Corporation's entrance.
"Stop. Who are you, and what business do you have here?" The guards sized her up, wanting to shoo her away. No doubt, she had come to cause trouble judging from her appearance.
"I've come to see Vania," Josie spoke out her intentions directly.
Of course, the guards knew who Vania was, and his gaze at Josie was filled with mockery. "Do you think just about anybody can see my boss? Go away; don't get in other people's way."
"How dare you raise your voice at me?! You're nothing but watchdogs!" Josie flipped out instantly, having never suffered such humiliation.
However, the guards continued to chase her away, not the least bit intimidated because she was already a nobody now.
At that, Josie began acting shamelessly like a shrew. "I'm not leaving until I see Vania today."
While Josie and the guards fought, Vania appeared.
They had intended to let Melanie go in the first place, so her every move was within their grasp.
Hence, Vania was not surprised to find Josie at the entrance of Galaxy Corporation.
"Who do you think you are to act presumptuously here?!" Josie was startled when she heard Vania's icy voice behind her, feeling somewhat fearful.
"Boss," the guards greeted Vania deferentially.
Despite her amiable tone, her words to her staff induced intimidation. "Dispose of her. Don't let her soil the entrance."
