Forced out by Marie, Victoria seethed, trying to suppress her anger.
“Marie, please don’t be upset. I’ll look into it right now. If you don’t want to come back with me, just rest here at home for a few days. I’ll have Darren come and pick you up personally.”
Marie ignored her, and Victoria left in disgrace.
The more she thought about Marie’s attitude toward her—a daughter-in-law to her mother-in-law—the angrier she got. What a mess!
Her son had finally divorced Natalie. If he married Marie, he would secure the Ward Group’s fortune for their family.
But now, everything had gone wrong. Not only had they lost shares in the Cross Group, but they had also lost so much jewelry and designer bags. The plan had backfired spectacularly.
After Victoria left, Marie’s phone rang again. She initially didn’t want to answer but picked it up with an irritated sigh.
“Ms. Ward, Terence has made a move against the Cross Group. Eighty percent of their clients have already canceled their orders… It looked like Terence was planning to bankrupt them, but for some reason, he’s stopped. It seems he’s letting them off the hook, which is great. Otherwise, given the Cross Group’s current situation, they definitely wouldn’t have survived!”
Marie’s anger flared. “What’s so great about that? Terence should have crushed the Cross Group and ground them into the dust.”
“Ms… Ms. Ward, what are you saying? What happened?”
“You don’t need to ask what happened. Just help Terence finish what he started. I want the Cross Group bankrupt.”
“Understood.”
Marie hung up, her eyes filled with venom.
How could Terence let Darren off the hook? If he did, Darren would just keep chasing after that woman. No, she had to make him understand who he could truly rely on.
That woman couldn’t help him with anything. The only person who could help him reach new heights was her, Marie!

“What are you still busy with? We’re facing a total loss here! Why on earth did you kick Marie out? She’s a Ward, the future heir of the Ward Group! You sent her away and gave her all those shares. Are you trying to bankrupt us?”
He had been wondering how to break the news to his mother, but it seemed that was no longer necessary.
“You already know. In that case, I don’t need to explain anything further. You can go home.”
Darren turned back to his work, but Victoria was practically losing her mind.
“You still have the nerve to work? Aren’t you going to explain yourself? Why did you kick Marie out? She’s your sister-in-law!”
“So now you remember she’s my sister-in-law?”
Darren’s gaze was dark as he looked at Victoria.
Ever since Marie’s brother’s accident had left him in a vegetative state, his mother had been relentlessly pushing him to get together with Marie.

Time for Marie to get her end, this has gone on way too long, time to move on. It’s getting boring....
Payback time. Waiting for chapters 321 onwards!...
I love the sarcastic comebacks. Quite amusing!...
