"If it weren't for me saying those words back then, what would have become of the Spencer family?" I stared intently at his face, tilting my head, smiling but not genuinely.
At that time, his company, Genesis Group, was preparing for listing, and the preparations had taken two years.
And 80% of the products were represented by Cathy's endorsing.
As soon as the truth about Cathy's affair became apparent, the Spencer family bore the direct losses!
The company couldn't be listed, rendering Aubrey's two years of dedication useless!
Sales plummeted significantly, and Genesis Group was facing an unprecedented financial crisis!
He had been betrayed and would become the laughingstock of the entire city!
The decision made back then was truly daring, showing how deep my love for Aubrey was.
Aubrey and I stared at each other for a few seconds.
During those moments, I felt a little warmth in my heart.
So, he still knew he had benefited.
"Don't talk nonsense, where is Iris?" Diana was afraid that Aubrey would be convinced by me, not contest the custody of Iris, so she quickly interjected.
After speaking, she pulled Aubrey again. "Brother, this woman is full of schemes, don't let her deceive you."
"Exactly, Aubrey." Pamela also approached, "No matter what happened in the past, now that you two are divorced, the child's issue needs to be resolved!"
Aubrey's gaze shifted according to Diana's words.
"Navier, each has their own responsibility. In the past, when the Spencer family benefited, did you want to divide your share? Consult with a lawyer to discuss it with me. Now, I want Iris!" he said.
In his mind, even if the Spencer family had benefited, it was only because I executed my own plan.
"Ha!"
My heart grew colder.
What had I done? How could I have expected such a heartless and cold-hearted family to show any mercy?
I was even willing to make a final effort to avoid tearing apart the relationship just for Iris's sake.
Aubrey still saw me as a money-minded person, always thinking about his money!
If he had already determined me as someone who loved money, then no matter how hard I tried, it would be useless. Why waste my time?
I suppressed the feelings of despair and anger within me, and when I looked up, there was no expression on my face.
"Do you truly want to take care of Iris?" I asked.
These repetitive events had worn away Aubrey's already limited patience, and his feet felt numb and painful.
Aubrey furrowed his cold brow, only sneering without making a sound.
Diana chuckled, "There are too many unnecessary words!"
"Don't answer hastily, look at this first."
After speaking, she bowed her head and made a phone call, "Come here."
Within two minutes, a car arrived.
Fredrica stepped out of the car.
"Why did you invite Fredrica?" Seeing Fredrica, Diana immediately became vigilant, "Do you want to reenact the old tricks and bring these issues to the internet?"
I didn't respond and simply ignored her.
This made Diana feel like a small puppet in front of me, completely powerless. Her face turned dark.
Her words became even more malicious.
"Let me tell you, even if you live-streamed the whole world, it would be useless! Iris is a descendant of the Spencer family, and no one can change that!"
"I advise you to be obedient, to honestly hand the child back to us. My brother can give you some money, maybe it will help you a little!"
"Ha!"
Fredrica laughed out of place.
Diana, who was short-sighted, only knew that the Spencer family was rich.
"Miss Spencer, a graceful woman like you, who would dare to accept you when you act like such a despicable woman?"
"You!" Diana was so angry that her stomach was tied in knots, but she had to restrain herself.
Fredrica had considerable influence and held strong media connections. If I was unlucky and she secretly filmed and broadcasted her images nationwide, it would truly be the end.
Pamela approached again, her breath unstable, her heart racing rapidly and painfully.
She could only try to maintain her image, looking at Fredrica, "Isn't the chairman of Starlight going too far?"
"Madam, if you do not bully others, how could they possibly bully you?" Fredrica said a profoundly meaningful sentence.
"Regardless, Iris has nothing to do with the Spencer family anymore. We shouldn't create any more trouble for the child's future!"
After speaking, she pulled me along, "Let's go."
"Okay." I followed her into the car.
When opening the car door, Fredrica looked back at Aubrey, "Aubrey, rest assured, in the future, Starlight Media will belong to Iris and also to Navier. Your couple million dollars are not enough to stuff in her pockets. It's better to give Diana a few more sets of nice clothes."
"Damn it, damn it!"
Diana heard mockery in Fredrica's words, and she became so furious that her face distorted. She shouted loudly.
She couldn't accept this woman, Fredrica, criticizing her as if she was inferior!
Then, Diana pushed Aubrey, "Navier deceived us like this, should we just let it go?"
"And the chairman of Starlight Media has no grudge against us. Why should we endure humiliation?"
"Oh, right." Fredrica's voice came again, "Don't you really feel aggrieved, didn't Navier help your family when she married into your family?" Mr Spencer's compensation is not used, it is written off. "
After saying what needed to be said, she got into the car.
Through the rearview mirror, I could still see Diana's anger, Pamela's shattered image, and Aubrey's unclear emotions as he clenched his fists.
Fredrica worriedly said, "This means that in the future, it will be impossible to reconcile with the Spencer family. Aren't you regretful?"
