I Forgot I Ever Loved You (Zoe and Hayden) novel Chapter 475

Terrence scoffed bitterly.

What a perfect daughter. Ruthless, calculating, and cold-blooded—she had truly inherited his worst traits.

She was more than willing to slaughter her own bloodlines to climb the ladder, even setting up her own father.

But having been outmaneuvered once, Terrence refused to be her puppet any longer. He outright rejected the demand.

"I signed the damn papers. The company is yours. Do whatever the hell you want with it, but leave me out of it."

Sienna was entirely unfazed.

"The board is full of old-school corporate sharks who only respect you. When my cousin tried to step in, they laughed him out of the building. They'll do the same to me.

Relax, Dad. With my resources, I'll multiply their dividends tenfold. I won't embarrass you.

Once you finish your sentence in three years, I'll give it all back. For now, I'm just your hand-picked Vice President."

Terrence didn't buy it for a second. There was no way Sienna had orchestrated this brutal coup just to hand the reins back when he was a free man.

Sienna offered a thin, mocking smile.

"Do you really think I want this pathetic company? Compared to Easton Group's daily revenue, Winters Group is pocket change.

I'm doing this to secure your throne. If word gets out that you're heading to prison, those vultures on the board will tear each other apart for the Chairman's seat. Do you honestly think there will be a company left for you to return to in three years?"

Her viciously accurate analysis sent a cold shiver down Terrence's spine. He had arrogantly assumed that relying on Hayden's influence would keep him safe.

He hadn't considered the board cannibalizing his legacy.

Sienna's hypothetical scenario wasn't just likely; it was a guaranteed certainty. Terrence knew better than anyone how corporate allies operated.

When you held the power, they bowed. The second you bled, they wouldn't hesitate to stab you in the back and step over your corpse.

Weighing his options, Sienna's hostile takeover suddenly looked like a lifeline.
