Chapter 40
Seeing that Maisie ignored her, Leila blocked her. “What are you doing?”
“Get out of the way.” Maisie pushed her aside, ignoring the people who were talking behind her, and went straight to the study. She slammed the documents on the desk.
Stephen was shocked at her actions, and his face sank. “How dare you come back?”
“Do you think I want to come back here? I came to ask you something.” Maisie held the document. “What happened to my mother’s shares?”
Stephen was stunned. He.didn’t think she would ask about this.
Seeing that Stephen was quiet, Maisie continued. “My mother founded Vaenna, and it’s shared equity with you. Why would her shares become yours when she passed?”
“Are you questioning me?” Stephen raised his voice.
Leila, who was eavesdropping outside, was wondering why Maisie came to see Stephen, but when she heard arguments, she was glad. That’s right, the worse the argument between the two of you, the better.
“Give me a good explanation then.” Maisie kept her interrogative tone.
Stephen slammed his hands on the table. “I’m your father!”
“That wasn’t what you said six years ago.” Maisie’s eyes were cloudy. “When you kicked me out, did you really think I was still your daughter?”
Stephen clenched his jaw but didn’t answer.
“I kept thinking, why would you let an outsider run my mother’s company? Turns out you’ve taken over all the shares, even all the property that Vaenna owns. My mother was never mentioned.”
Maisie’s eyes were red, but she suddenly burst out laughing. “Now that I think of it, if you really did love my mother, you wouldn’t have had a mistress and even made a child out of wedlock.”
Seeing the coldness on her father’s face, not even showing the guilt he felt about her mother, Maisie was absolutely disappointed.
