Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 62

The next morning, Lucius went to the company early, sparing not a single glance in Liliana's direction.

This was a critical period concerning his inheritance rights, and he had no time to coddle her.

Once at the office, the scheduled negotiations began. Lucius had expected Madeline to show up, but upon seeing the opposing team's lineup, a sliver of disappointment crept into his heart, making it feel strangely hollow.

Madeline didn't come.

Instead, she entrusted the entire matter to Cyrus Sterling.

She showcased a freezing, strictly business attitude, making it clear she would no longer show Lucius any mercy.

Coupled with the fact that Cyrus brought the most elite lawyers from his firm, they were unstoppable.

The negotiations concluded swiftly. Madeline acquired full operational rights, leaving Lucius with a one-month handover period. Within thirty days, he had to sell Lightning Interactive to Madeline for exactly zero dollars.

Following the negotiation, the bad news slowly rippled through the company's internal channels.

The 32nd floor buzzed with frantic gossip upon hearing that Madeline had taken the game.

Someone whispered, "We're doomed. This is all Victoria Holloway's fault for taking it upon herself to drive Madeline out. Who knew laying off one person would sever our main artery? What do we do now? Our only profitable game is Lightning Interactive. Without it, are we going to be eating dirt?"

"Eating dirt? You wish. We'll be eating trash. I heard from an internal source that it's completely over. Three-quarters of us have to go, and the core technicians are already contacting Madeline to negotiate joining her team."

You better figure out how to compensate us for a massive financial hit. Due to your resume fraud, vicious competition with colleagues, and slander, you've caused the company immense losses. We will sue you for damages according to the law, and you'll soon be bankrupt..."

Before Gavin could even finish, the massive psychological blow drove Franklin completely insane. Seeing Gavin's laptop, he assumed all the investigative evidence was stored inside, so he shoved Gavin aside, grabbed the computer, and smashed it onto the floor.

Gavin's laptop was brand new, worth thousands of dollars.

In truth, Gavin hadn't possessed any concrete evidence just a moment ago, but now he did. Turns out, Franklin was completely legally illiterate.

Gavin scoffed, lunged forward, and rained punches down on Franklin, beating him to a pulp before calling the police. Ultimately, Franklin was detained for destroying corporate property, while Gavin was released on grounds of self-defense.

With Franklin's demise serving as a cautionary tale, the rest of the overseas department quickly complied and finalized their resignation procedures.
