Was Amelia still not satisfied? Did she somehow find out Gianna was trying to get into Nygard Group, and now she was rushing in just to compete again?

Of course. Amelia had always been her curse.

She can’t help it. She’s been too visible lately, too high–profile. And Elian, the one shareholder who has the most sway, is one of Conrad’s people. He’s always backed Amelia without question,” Regina muttered.

Just hearing Elian’s name left a bad taste in Regina’s mouth. She hated that man almost as much as Raymond did.

Honestly, with Raymond’s power and influence, getting rid of Elian shouldn’t have been that hard.

The man was only a minor shareholder, not even a key decision–maker.

But Raymond always insisted that Elian was indispensable when it came to the cultivation and management of their medicinal plantations. He’d inherited Conrad’s full knowledge of the process, and that made him too valuable to toss aside.

If they kicked Elian out, or worse, if some opportunistic rival company managed to poach him, Nygard Group’s grip on the herbal monopoly would be in serious jeopardy.

Regina scowled inwardly. She couldn’t help thinking bitterly how ridiculous it was that Raymond had failed to learn that part of the business herself. And now, because of that, they were stuck relying on Elian.

“Then just have someone get rid of him. It’s not like you don’t have the means,” Gianna said without hesitation, like it was the most obvious solution in the world.

She didn’t know exactly who Regina’s backers were, but she’d always known that her mother or whoever was behind her was far from ordinary.

“Now’s not the time,” Regina said curtly, clearly not interested in explaining further.

Gianna had been sheltered for too long. She wasn’t good at hiding what she was really thinking, and she had a bad habit of letting things slip.

Sure, Regina had taught her how to manipulate Emery and those three sons of hers, but that was easy. They were soft targets.

The real problem was the rest of the Nygards, Amelia and Ursula especially. Those two weren’t idiots, and they couldn’t be easily fooled.

If Gianna blurted out something she shouldn’t to the wrong person, it could open up a whole

new mesk

Lately, she’d started to notice something else too. Raymond, the man she’d always believed was completely under her thumb, might not have been what he seemed after all.

She couldn’t say for sure yet, but something about him had started to feel off. There were moments when his words and actions didn’t line up, and she found herself second–guessing what used to be predictable.

Now that damn girl Amelia won’t let up. She’s started tracing things back to me. She even found out about the drug I gave you.”

That was what Regina feared most.

1. h. bn she sneed it in her gift.

Whether her instincts were right or not, it was better to be cautious. Always better to strike first than be caught off guard.

“I want in too!” Gianna snapped, clearly eager to personally help take that bitch down.

If there was anyone in the world she hated most, it was Amelia. No competition.

And if there was even the slightest chance to finish her off, there was no way Gianna was going to sit it out

Regina looked at her for a long moment, her expression twisted with something between disbelief and silent judgment.

This was her biological daughter standing in front of her, and yet she could barely resist the urge to ask–Do you seriously have no idea how useless you are?

Sure, Gianna could play the part well. She was good at pretending. But when it came to taking out Amelia? The odds of success were practically zero.

Regina’s real fear was that if she let Gianna handle it, not only would she fail to take Amelia down, but she might also end up exposing them both, or worse, getting herself killed.

That would be a disaster.

Still, Regina didn’t want to completely crush her enthusiasm or confidence. She needed Gianna motivated.

So instead of shutting her down, she softened her tone. “Gianna, listen, Amelia’s not someone you can take lightly. She might look harmless, but that girl is calculating as hell. If you go at her head–on, she’ll see right through it. You’ll end up walking right into one of her traps,” she said patiently.

She let out a quiet sigh, then added, “We need to plan this carefully. Leave the dirty work to professionals. That’s how we make sure there are no mistakes. You just stay on the sidelines for now. I’ll bring in someone who knows what they’re doing. When it’s done, you’ll still get your revenge. That I promise.”
