Rejected Heiress, Reigning Queen novel Chapter 59

Logan had been eyeing a cutting-edge medical lab that required an investment of a few million dollars. Once secured, not only would he have unrestricted access to the facility, but any new drugs or breakthroughs developed there would be directly credited to the Lockwood family.

Everything was ready to go, but at the last second, their primary investor pulled out.

Panicking, Logan scrambled to contact his business partners, only to be hit with a single, devastating response:

"Our CEO said she's decided to invest in an entertainment club instead."

Logan tried to negotiate further, but the technical staff originally slated for his lab had already jumped ship to CFT Corporation.

Back at the Lockwood Manor, the chaos was in full swing.

"Well? Did Emma agree to sell the car?"

Beatrice asked urgently, desperate for news about her second son.

Logan pressed his lips together and shook his head. He had completely ruined everything.

Beatrice immediately turned her vicious glare onto Charles. "I don't care if you have to sell the company or mortgage this house—you will get your brother out of there!"

Charles clenched his fists, feeling absolutely miserable.

"He committed massive tax fraud on his own! What exactly am I supposed to do?"

Faced with her eldest son's fury, Beatrice didn't dare push him too far, terrified he might actually abandon her precious Bernard. Instead, she prepared to unleash her wrath onto Violet.

"But Emma did give me a card."

Logan spoke up just in time, successfully diverting his grandmother's attention.

Gillian, who had been completely uninterested in the ordeal, finally looked up from admiring her manicure.

"Logan, honestly. If Emma agreed to help, why did you scare Grandmother like that? Mom almost got beaten again because of you."

Logan hadn't expected his sister to say something like that. A wave of discomfort washed over him, and Emma's utterly disappointed, resolute expression flashed through his mind.

He pressed his lips tightly together and placed the bank card on the table.

"It's not money from the car. It's the money Mom sent her over the years."
