The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 830

Yet, she quietly held onto the absolute majority of the shares. The patriarch's shares, Garrett and his wife's shares, plus her own—they all sit firmly in her hands. Garrett, that cunning fox, must have suspected Gregory's treachery, or maybe he was just overly paranoid. He and his wife secretly transferred all their equity to the old lady before they died, bypassing their own children entirely!

If those shares had gone to Julianna or Gavin, things would be incredibly easy to handle. Unfortunately, Garrett didn't play by the rules. As a result, Gregory cannot make a move against his mother. He simply doesn't have the power. The old lady is surrounded by highly trained mercenaries operating in the shadows, and whenever she leaves the estate, a massive detail of professional bodyguards follows her every step. Furthermore, she rarely goes out, and when she does, it is always with Catherine or other powerful matriarchs—all of whom have their own formidable security. She is never alone, making an assassination practically impossible.

Gregory has ground his teeth in frustration more times than he can count, completely powerless. He even suspects that his parents made this arrangement specifically because they anticipated his greed, effectively locking him out of the family's true power. If those shares were held by two naive brats like Julianna or Gavin, he could easily use coercion, bribery, or arrange an 'accident' to force them to hand the power over. But they are guarded by that seemingly harmless, yet deeply calculating old woman. She guards those shares like her own lifeblood, utterly impenetrable.

Jovani knows exactly how helpless and cornered her man feels right now.

"There's also Zoey! That bitch is just as much of a headache. She must be the one whispering in the old woman's ear!" Jovani snarls viciously, her eyes dripping with absolute venom.
