Queen of Wild Cards novel Chapter 596

Moreover, he was deliberately making an example out of her to show the rest of the extended family who exactly held the power in the Blackwood Group.

The Blackwood empire had been founded by his great-grandfather and passed down through four generations. Its current massive scale was entirely due to Julius's relentless hard work and the powerful backing of his mother's side of the family. It had absolutely nothing to do with these distant relatives.

Giving them jobs was merely a courtesy to their shared ancestry. If any of them got greedy or forgot their place, he had no problem violently reminding them.

At that moment, Paige stepped forward. "Don't worry, Julius. I will absolutely bring the maternity division's numbers up and maximize its value for the company."

Julius nodded. "Your track record speaks for itself, Aunt Paige. I have full confidence in you."

Yasmin shook her head in sheer panic. "No, Julius, you can't do this! I'm your family! You can't treat me like this! I was wrong just now, I shouldn't have said those things, and I definitely shouldn't have targeted your wife!"

She couldn't lose everything she had. The Blackwood Group was her ultimate safety net. If she was cut off from the company, her luxurious lifestyle would vanish instantly.

She was a divorced woman—she couldn't lose her marriage and her career.

She had let her emotions get the better of her, completely forgetting that Julius had absolute, unquestionable control over the empire. The entire extended family relied on him to survive.

She never should have leveraged her status as his aunt to insult him and his wife. At the end of the day, she wasn't even immediate family. She had been dangerously foolish.

She spun around and desperately addressed Stella. "Stella, right? I am so, so sorry. My attitude was completely out of line, and I never should have spoken to you that way. I'll make Roxanne apologize to you right now!"

She finally grasped the reality of the situation. Roxanne had insulted Stella, and then she had doubled down and insulted Stella too, which was why Julius went nuclear.
