로그인At 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.
더 보기Wendy was assigned to the prison laundry. Every day, she loaded piles of prison uniforms into industrial washers and spent eight hours surrounded by steam and the smell of bleach. The detergent soon hurt the skin on her hands. Her fingertips cracked, making it painful whenever they touched water. At first, the other women in her cell tried to speak to her. Then, they realized she spent every night lying awake and repeating the same few lines. "Why?" "It's all her fault." "Without her, I'd be the Shaw family's daughter-in-law now." After that, no one paid any more attention to her. An older woman serving time for fraud eventually grew so tired of Wendy's muttering that she rolled over and shouted, "All you talk about is being the Shaw family's daughter-in-law. Do they even know you? The judgment said unlawful entry, disorderly conduct, and assault with a weapon! Which of those made you their daughter-in-law?" Wendy fell silent. She curled beneath her blanket and bit down
The statement from Shaw Group's legal department was cold and blunt. First of all, Ms. Wendy Sutton had no legal relationship with Shaw Group. Her claim that she was the Shaw family's future daughter-in-law was a complete fiction. Secondly, Ms. Cheshire Shaw, the company's chairwoman, owned forty-three percent of Shaw Group and was its sole controlling shareholder. There was no inheritance dispute, and Mr. Joey Shaw had never held a management position at the company. Finally, the company would sue Ms. Wendy Sutton for making false accusations and seek two hundred thousand dollars in damages for harming Ms. Cheshire Shaw's reputation and the Shaw Group's business interests. A scanned legal notice bearing an official seal was attached to the statement. The comments stopped almost immediately. The people who had rushed to defend Wendy deleted their posts and comments faster than anyone else. The legal department handled everything, and none of it needed my attention, so I tre
Joey took his phone out of his pocket. "Last March, you said you wanted to open a cafe, so I transferred forty thousand dollars to you. The cafe closed in less than two months, and you came crying to me because you owed your suppliers money. I transferred another fifteen thousand dollars then. For your birthday in May, you asked for the sapphire necklace from the boutique at Grand Plaza. I paid thirty-four thousand eight hundred dollars without a word. In July, you said your mother needed surgery, so I transferred another twenty thousand dollars..." "You gave me all of that willingly!" Wendy cut him off with a scream. "Isn't it normal to spend money on your girlfriend? What's wrong with a man spending money on the woman he's dating?!" Joey ignored her and kept reading. "In August, you said you wanted to enroll in an Executive MBA program to improve yourself, so I paid twenty-six thousand dollars in tuition. You attended three classes and never went back." He scrolled down and c
Wendy stood frozen on the spot. She could hardly believe what she had just heard, and her eyes went wide. She opened her mouth, and an angry roar echoed in the lounge. "Impossible! Forty-three percent?!" She turned around and grabbed Joey's arm, digging her nails into him through his shirt. "Joey, tell me this isn't true! You're the Shaw family's only son! Why should a worthless woman like her own forty-three percent?! Are you and your parents lying to me? Say something!" Joey yanked his arm free for once as Wendy stumbled back two steps, then she rushed toward my father. "Richard, you must be losing your mind. How could a woman be the heir? Joey is your biological son. You can't be this stupid! "Cheshire must have tricked you into giving her those shares. I'll find you a lawyer. I'll help you sue her and get them back. I know people at a law firm, and my mother's cousin handles business lawsuits..." My father did not even look at her as he turned to his personal assistant. "
