“I’m not someone who likes beating around the bush,” Lindsay cut Winnie off, her gaze sharp and condescending. “I don’t care about your past with Michael, but today, I was genuinely unhappy.”

“If this is because of Michael, there’s no need. There’s nothing between us. You’ve misunderstood,” Winnie replied flatly, her expression unchanged.

Lindsay smiled. “I haven’t even said anything yet, Winnie. Aren’t you explaining a little too quickly? Don’t you think that makes you look guilty?”

Winnie was speechless. “What do you want?”

“You deliberately flirted with Michael at my birthday party today, and you’re asking me what I want?”

Lindsay moved slowly to stand behind Winnie.

“You’re a daughter of the Olson family, so I can’t really do anything to you. But I’m also your customer. Asking you to have a few drinks with me-there’s no problem with that, right?”

As soon as she finished speaking, the butler brought over the wine.

It was a bottle of foreign hard liquor.

Winnie glanced at it, and her face instantly drained of color.

“Finish this bottle, and from now on, stay away from Michael. I’ll sign for the delivery. Otherwise, I’ll return the goods and file a complaint against you.’

Hearing this, Winnie immediately understood. Lindsay had already had a thorough talk with Veronica.

She was now just one complaint away from being fired.

If she were fired, she would lose her agreement with Veronica’s father. And if that happened, she would have no hope of inheriting her mother’s estate.

Winnie’s mother and Veronica’s father had once been inseparable friends.

Back when Winnie’s mother fell gravely ill, Veronica’s father had taken it upon himself to care for Winnie.

But Winnie had been wild and unruly since childhood, difficult to control. After coming to the Olson family, she caused even more trouble.

Once, she even led thieves into the house, nearly costing the entire Olson family their lives.

Yet, Veronica’s father still risked himself to save Winnie, leaving Winnie’s mother both grateful and wracked with guilt.

Winnie’s father had been a man of notorious character, and his early death was the result of his own misdeeds. Her mother feared that after she was gone, Winnie would follow the same path of no return.

After much deliberation, on her deathbed, she entrusted her five-billion-dollar fund and the fruits of her life’s

work-a biological research patent-to Veronica’s father for safekeeping.

If Winnie failed to meet the inheritance conditions before turning thirty, half of those assets would be gifted to Veronica’s father.

The remainder would become Winnie’s living expenses, distributed to her monthly by Veronica’s father.

From childhood to now, Winnie had fought relentlessly to meet those conditions as soon as possible and break free from the Olson family.

Yet every year, even the independent evaluations conducted by her mother’s foundation deemed her unqualified.

Winnie knew exactly why-the Olson family had been sabotaging her from behind the scenes.

On the surface, Veronica’s parents seemed endlessly indulgent toward her. In reality, they had barely taught or guided her since she was young, deliberately letting her go to ruin.

Anything she wanted to do-no matter what it was-the Olson family always found ways to block her.
