Facing Jack's hostility, I met his gaze calmly and asked, "And what exactly gives you the right to disagree?"
Jack let out a cold snort. "I'm the general manager of Brown Group. That's why."
I couldn't help but chuckle. "Oh, just a general manager? If you didn't have that title handed to you, do you really think you'd still be sitting in that position? What have you ever accomplished for the company?"
Jack's glare sharpened. "At least I've done more than you! You're already married off, yet you still insist on meddling in family affairs. Other women focus on supporting their husbands and raising their children. What about you? Having a sister like you is the biggest embarrassment of my life!"
My eyes swept over him and Elsa before I smirked. "Haven't you already made it clear that Elsa is the only sister you recognize? We're nothing more than strangers who once lived under the same roof. So tell me. What right do you have to dictate what I do?"
Jack's expression darkened instantly. Even now, he still couldn't seem to accept the fact that I no longer looked up to him.
Instead of arguing further, he turned to Dad. "Dad, you really shouldn't listen to her! I've been monitoring this project for a long time, and it has incredible potential! If we back out now, we'll lose at least 50 million dollars!"
I scoffed. "I have no idea where you got this so-called foresight. The only way we'd actually lose 50 million dollars is if we invested in that land."
I stepped forward and locked eyes with him. He instinctively took a step back.
Realizing that the person standing before him was the sister he used to belittle, he straightened his spine again, forcing himself to hold my gaze.
I wasn't fazed in the slightest and said coldly, "At the very least, I once brought substantial profits to this family through stock investments. And you? Other than flaunting your status at the company, what real skills do you have?"
Jack had always worked hard in the company but could never escape Dad's shadow. That was exactly why he hated it when people suggested that all he did was put on a show.
