Breaking Mr. Cold (Giselle and Donovan) novel Chapter 723

In this high-stakes game of capital, Renee would never be Donovan's equal.

However, as a former titan of industry, she hadn't put all her eggs in one basket. Although she had lost control of Anson Pharmaceuticals, she had investments in other industries. Her personal assets still totaled in the billions.

If she simply kept her head down and lived off her existing wealth, her standard of living would not drop a bit.

But she couldn't accept defeat. She couldn't just sit back and watch the company she had built from the ground up fall into someone else's hands.

Had she not been shattered by the loss of both children and the relentless physical and mental torment, Renee never would have been so broken. She wouldn't have allowed the company to crumble, giving Donovan the chance to strike while she was down.

"Anne, didn't you go to the company to take over my position recently?" Renee asked. "Did that little bitch give you a hard time? Is she making a mess of things with her decisions?"

Anne sneered dismissively, "What do you think? I'm just a figurehead over there. I can't do anything to her. So, I've come up with a new plan."

"What plan?" Renee was curious.

"Since regaining control of Anson Pharmaceuticals is impossible, we should start from scratch and build a new empire," Anne said with confidence. "They can't steal your connections or your distribution channels. You've been a shark in this industry for years, Mom. That bitch is nothing to you."

Hearing this, Renee did not react with much enthusiasm.

Instead, she sighed. "Do you think I haven't thought about starting over? But you know what the economy is like right now. A few years ago, maybe. But now…

"Plus, I'm getting old. My health is failing. And after losing Sebastian, I—"

"You just can't live without a son, can you?" Anne snapped, her resentment flaring. "Ever since your son died, you've lost all your drive to make money! You only ever lived for him!"

"Anne…" Renee tried to explain.
