This was the first time Winnie had ever visited Garland Group.
She did her best to pretend to be a country bumpkin on their way up. Upon spotting the automatic glass doors, she shrieked in delight before walking in and out of the doors several times.
Finding her action embarrassing, Yara and Kylie told her to stop doing that. They also promised to fulfill any of her wishes if she agreed to listen to them.
“Really? Thank you, Mommy and Kiki. You are really kind to me!” Winnie gushed. Despite her act, she was actually trying to figure out a plan to make them suffer badly.
She told Yara that her jewel ring was pretty and Kylie's bag was cute, so she wanted them both.
Of course, Yara and Kylie refused to let her have her way, for the ring and bag were limited edition items worth millions.
Alas, they had no choice but to give in and give Winnie the items when she wouldn't shut up.
It was just an act to appease Winnie. They thought that after they were done using Winnie, they would definitely get the items back.
Winnie didn't give them any chance to do that. She put on the ring and ran along the corridor, scratching it against the marble wall like a happy fool.
Yara's heart clenched at the sight. Tamping down her urge to yell at Winnie, she said, “Winnie, you shouldn't be scratching the wall with the ring. It's expensive, so you should hide it when you're wearing it.”
Winnie was inwardly pleased to see how upset Yara was. This is just the beginning.
She knew when to stop. As Yara kept persuading her to hide the ring, she did so and hid her hand.
Instead of putting her hand in her pocket, she put it into Kylie's limited edition leather bag worth millions.
Yara heaved a sigh of relief when Winnie stopped. A while later, Kylie spotted holes in her bag that couldn't be repaired.
That dumbass used her ring to ruin my bag from the inside!
Kylie got so furious that she wanted Winnie dead.
Her anger increased when she overheard the employees gossiping about them while walking in the company.
“Look at the young lady beside Mrs. Garland. That's the real eldest daughter of the Garland family, right? That means the one who came to the company previously should be the second daughter.”
“She's prettier than Ms. Kylie! Look how graceful she is.”
“Yeah! She looks like she has just stepped out of a painting! What a gorgeous lady! Ms. Kylie is no match for her!”
I'm no match for her? Kylie nearly choked on her rage as she fought back the urge to rip their mouths apart.
Turning over her shoulder, she had to admit that Winnie was indeed pretty.
Winnie's skin was fair and flawless. No pores could be seen on her face even if one were to scrutinize her from a close distance. She didn't undergo any cosmetic surgery, but her eyes were huge, and her nose was perfect. She was born beautiful.
Kylie was green with envy. Once Winnie is useless to us, I must get someone to destroy her face!
Sensing Kylie's menacing glare, Winnie couldn't help but feel bad for her.
The enmity of one generation shouldn't be brought to the next generation. Winnie initially wanted to teach only Hamish and Yara a lesson, but Kylie was a horrible person, too.
Therefore, she decided to give them a taste of their own medicine.
The moment they entered Hamish's office, Kylie lost her temper.
She tugged Winnie's hair and yelled, “Dumbass, how dare you ruin my bag? Do you have a death wish? You can't afford to compensate me even if you sell yourself!”
Hamish was shocked. “Kylie, didn't you go overseas? Why are you here? And why are you hitting your sister?”
“Hamish, listen...” Yara explained everything to him. “Then she ruined my ring and Kylie's bag. You can't blame us for getting upset.”
“Enough. This isn't that serious.” Hamish wasn't interested in their ring or bag.
He pulled out two files from his drawer. “Tell them to stop. Winnie needs to sign both equity transfer agreements now.”
That was the most important thing to them right now.
Yara went to the girls to bring Winnie over.
Because of the fight, Winnie sustained a few slaps and scratches, but those minor wounds would heal in a few days.
However, Kylie got the brunt of it. Winnie was skilled in mixed martial arts and kickboxing. She even won various awards at competitions.
During their fight, she didn't hold back and attacked Kylie viciously. She deliberately attacked various spots on Kylie's body discreetly. Kylie wasn't smart enough to realize that her waist and armpit had been hit.
When Hamish told Winnie to sign the documents, she wailed and complained that Kylie had hit her too hard. During the commotion, she peeked at the papers in front of her.
It turned out that Rufus agreed to transfer eight percent of the Fairchild family's shares to Winnie to get her to marry his grandson, who was in a coma.
The Fairchild family was a prominent family in Avenport with businesses all over the country. Eight percent of their shares amounted to a lot of money.
Rufus had made it clear on the agreement that the recipient was Winnie Garland.
However, Hamish prepared another agreement that stated Winnie was to transfer the shares to Hamish after she received the shares.
Ha! Winnie snorted deep down.
