Sharon was scared out of her wits, trembling uncontrollably, completely unable to keep herself together.
She kept apologizing over and over, insisting again and again that everything tonight was her fault.
No matter what she said, Jonathan just wouldn’t believe her or forgive her.
She had no idea how bad things really were.
She couldn’t figure out why Jonathan would lose his temper and even hit her, all because of Stella, just a mere assistant.
Sharon was a top star now, the family’s golden goose. Jonathan always treated her like a princess, so his sudden change in attitude tonight really freaked her out.
Jonathan had never been this harsh with her before. She was honestly terrified.
“I–I’m sorry, Grandpa. I really didn’t mean it. Please, don’t scare me like this. If you keep it up, I–I really might die of fright,” Sharon sobbed, her breath coming in short, ragged gasps, and her eyes were so swollen she could barely open them.
“You idiots! How did I end up with a bunch of useless brats like you? None of you amounts to anything. Are you trying to drive me to an early grave?” Jonathan shouted, and his furious voice echoed through the luxurious villa.
Jessica stood off to the side, her expression calm and distant. She’d always been the cold, untouchable type. Only when she saw Sharon sobbing uncontrollably, on the verge of collapsing, did she finally speak up, “Grandpa, Sharon was just the spark.
“The real issue is that Cloudmere Group doesn’t want to work with us anymore.

“Grandpa, business is tough these days, and she’s holding leverage over us. This time, we have to take the loss quietly and just put up with it.”
Jonathan shot Sharon a dark, icy glare. “Get out of my sight.”
Sharon was so weak she couldn’t even drag herself out.
Jessica gestured for the servants to come over and help Sharon away.
Thinking about what Serena did, Jessica’s face was full of fighting spirit. She said, “Grandpa, even without Cloudmere Group. we won’t lose.”
Jonathan had always been grooming his granddaughter,
Jonathan thought, ‘If Serena can pull it off, so can my granddaughter.
“Good girl, it’s all up to you now. Go find yourself an eligible bachelor from a powerful family for a marriage alliance,” Jonathan said. Right now, a marriage alliance is their only option. His goal was to wipe Cloudmere Group off the map.
Jessica smiled, a sly light in her eyes, “Grandpa, I’ll tell you when I’ve picked someone.”
With that, she turned and walked
away.
Jonathan stood by the window, his gaze was cold and piercing. He’d been locked in a rivalry with his younger brother for as long as he could remember, and in his mind, losing was never an option.

he was he walked in, he told Miles to dig op everything he could on Serena
After waiting for an hour, Miles finally returned.
Before Miles could even say a word, Dylan cut him off. “So, what did you find?
Miles looked surprised. He replied, “Mr. Ashford, I went to see Nath. That old guy is a real piece of work. He wouldn’t say a word until I handed over 60.000 dollars
“All he told me was that Serena’s status at Cloudmere Group is second only to Ms. Hale.
“He also warned us not to go snooping around, said it wouldn’t do us any good and that we should steer clear of Serena. Most people can’t afford to mess with her. That’s all he said, and he still pocketed 60,000 dollars?
The more Miles thought about it, the angrier he got. “That old man’s all about the money, he thought
Dylan frowned, “Is there really no information about her anywhere else?”
Miles opened his tablet, still looking a bit surprised. “Mr. Ashford, her name doesn’t appear anywhere on their official weinite. But she holds alwolute authority.
“She is classified as S–level, which means her position is extremely unique. That’s why there’s no trace of her information anywhere?
Dylan was a little surprised, but then again, not really, Serena really was something else. He couldn’t help but smile as he spoke up quietly, “Miles, don’t you think my wife is incredible?”
