At the company's quarterly review meeting, Joey's girlfriend suddenly turned to me and snapped. "Where's your common sense? Go prepare everyone something to drink!" Everyone was stunned as she slammed a stack of documents onto the table. "Don't think you can coast just because you're Joey's older sister. Shaw Group is a major corporation, and we have no room for nepotism here." She then scanned the room, and her tone softened. "Since everyone is here, I have an announcement. Effective immediately, Cheshire is no longer authorized to participate in any of the company's core operations. From now on, the only work she'll be assigned is making drinks and running errands for everyone. "She'll marry into another family eventually, so she should stay away from anything that could create a conflict of interest. Joey doesn't have the heart to say it, so, as the future chairman's wife, I will." Joey shot to his feet, but she raised a hand to silence him, speaking with even greater confidence. "Ryan Lane has always admired you. The Lane and Shaw families are a good match, and I've already agreed to the marriage. This is your duty as a daughter of the Shaw family." Ryan was the Lane family's second son. He had gone through seventeen lovers in a single month, had equal preference for men and women alike, and the scandal over the children he had fathered out of wedlock was still trending online. I watched her confident expression and smiled slowly as I leaned back in my chair. She had no idea that the daughter she planned to marry off owned a majority of shares in Shaw Group. Meanwhile, Joey, the so-called future chairman, could not even tell the figures from the dates on a financial statement.

Chapter 1

The conference room was so quiet I could hear the air-conditioning hum.

Wendy Sutton seemed oblivious as she held her teacup and gave it a quiet blow. "Ryan is handsome and charming. If you can get a playboy like him to settle down, it'll be your greatest achievement as a woman."

I said nothing as I raised an eyebrow.

Wendy set down her cup with a sharp clink. "Cheshire, you're already 28."

Contempt flashed in her eyes. "At your age, you're already scraping the bottom of the dating pool, and I heard you've had two relationships. That doesn't just make you undesirable. It makes you used goods. But don't worry. For the Shaw family's sake, the Lanes will still hold their noses and take you."

My personal assistant Robin shot to her feet, her face red. "How dare you..."

I raised my hand to stop her. Wendy must have mistaken my silence for weakness because she grew even more smug.

She turned to Joey, her voice softening. "Joey, you're too kind. You treat Cheshire like a sister, but she might not treat you like a brother."

Joey looked as though he had been forced to swallow something disgusting. He could barely breathe as he forced out two words through clenched teeth. "Stop talking."

"No! I will speak for you!" Wendy looked heartbroken on his behalf. "Once a woman schemes, she can be far more ruthless than a man. Especially someone like your sister, who has spent years in the public eye. She has more tricks up her sleeve than you can imagine. Someone as innocent and kind as you could never vie with her."

She sighed with pity in her tone. "As far as I'm concerned, a woman like her should be kept locked up at home and properly disciplined. If you let her stay at the company, she'll cause trouble sooner or later."

She looked around the room and raised her voice. "I'm not singling anyone out. I'm saying this for the Shaw family and everyone here. The company would be better off without a useless freeloader who only got her job through family connections."

Everyone around the table drew a sharp breath.

I smiled as I looked at all the members of management, and my voice stayed light and casual. "What do you all think?"
