Fake Daughter Is The Real Legend (Iris Sutton) novel Chapter 36

Chapter 36 Stellar Venture’s Boss

Chapter 36 Stellar Venture’s Boss

Wade was the youngest son of the Carter family.

Spoiled beyond reason from childhood.

Anything he wanted, he got.

Anything he disliked, his family destroyed.

The Carters had built their fortune through debt collection and aggressive business tactics.

Their private security teams were infamous throughout the city.

The moment Dylan Carter heard that his younger brother had been bullied, he gathered people and headed over.

After hanging up, Wade smirked.

“My brother’s coming.” He pointed at Iris. “When he gets here, we’re trashing this place. You’ll pay for every bottle.”

His grin became ugly.

“And if you can’t pay…”

His eyes drifted toward Iris and Hannah.

“You can work it off.”

His friends burst into laughter.

Several began discussing how much money girls like Hannah and Iris might earn in one of the Carter family’s establishments.

Hannah instinctively moved closer to Iris.

Meanwhile, Zane and Marcus remained completely unfazed.

Marcus, now fully aware of Iris’s true identity, was actually enjoying the show.

So he stayed.

Front-row seat.

Less than twenty minutes later, Dylan Carter arrived.

The moment he entered the room, he spotted his younger brother.

Or rather-

The swollen, barely recognizable version of him.

His face immediately darkened.

“Who did this?”

Wade practically jumped up.

Like a child finally seeing a parent arrive.

His confidence instantly returned.

He pointed directly at Iris.

“Her!”

Dylan turned.

Then saw Zane Walker.

Everything changed.

Instantly.

The anger vanished.

A smile appeared so quickly it was almost impressive.

“Mr. Walker!”

He practically hurried forward.

“What a coincidence.”

“What brings you here?”

His eyes shifted around the room.

Zane was standing.

Iris was sitting.

More importantly—

Zane’s attitude toward her was unmistakably respectful.

The girl hadn’t even moved.

Yet somehow she dominated the entire room.

A terrible feeling formed in Dylan’s stomach.

His idiot brother had offended the wrong person.

A very wrong person.

Zane almost laughed. Somehow he managed to keep a straight face.

“Good timing, Mr. Carter.” He folded his arms. “Your company’s proposal is still under review.”

Dylan’s smile froze.

Then Zane added:

“Whether we keep it…”

“Or reject it…”

“Depends entirely on Miss Noir.”

Cold sweat instantly appeared on Dylan’s forehead.

The Carter family had spent six months trying to get Stellar Ventures interested in their project.

Millions of dollars.

Countless hours.

Endless networking.

Everything depended on that deal.

There was no way he could let Wade ruin it.

“Wade.”

Dylan’s voice cracked like a whip.

“Get over here.”

“Now.”

Wade stared at him.

Completely stunned.

“I should apologize?”

He pointed at Iris.

“She beat me up first!”

Iris raised an eyebrow.

“He assaulted my employee.” Her voice was cold. “Was I supposed to thank him for it?”

Dylan Carter didn’t care about the details anymore.

Without hesitation, he motioned to his men.

They grabbed Wade like a misbehaving child and hauled him across the room before dumping him at Iris’s feet.

One of them even gave him an extra shove for good measure.

Dylan had no idea who Iris Noir really was.

But he knew one thing:

If Zane Walker was treating her with that level of respect, apologizing immediately was the smartest decision of his life.

“Wade!”

His voice cracked like a whip.

“Apologize to Miss Noir. Now.”

At the same time, Dylan hurriedly poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Iris.

A nervous smile spread across his face.

“My brother is an idiot. Please don’t take this personally, Miss Noir.”

Still sitting on the floor, Wade stared up at Iris in disbelief.

For the first time, he finally realized he’d kicked a steel wall instead of a soft target.

Dylan kicked him again.

Hard.

Grudgingly, Wade lowered his head.

“…I’m sorry.”

:

The words sounded like they physically hurt him.

Iris didn’t even touch the water.

“The project can wait.”

Her gaze swept over the brothers.

“Try managing your own family first.”

Then she glanced toward the club entrance.

“We’re open for business now.”

“Miss Noir, perhaps we could still—”

Dylan tried one final time.

Maybe he could salvage the investment.

Maybe there was still hope.

Then Iris looked at him.

Just one glance.

Sharp,

Cold.

Uncompromising.

The words died in his throat.

The project was finished.

“Get up.”

Dylan grabbed his brother’s collar.

“We’re leaving.”

The Carter family had arrived full of confidence.

They left looking like defeated dogs.

The moment they disappeared, Iris spoke.

“Verify everyone’s identities.”

She nodded toward the remaining troublemakers.

“Blacklist them.”

“Already on it.”
