No Longer Theirs: The One They Can't Replace Chapter 423
The entire room fell silent. The same directors who had been giving Winter looks full of contempt were now as quiet as mice. The writing was on the wall.They were nothing but a group of two-faced men, each bending whichever way served their own interest.Furious, Nigel's chest heaved with ragged, uneven gasps. His resentful gaze swept the crowd before finally landing on Bruce McRae—the first director to raise his hand.Bruce lowered his eyes and pressed his lips together. He deliberately avoided Nigel's murderous glare.Just a day earlier, Winter had met with Bruce in a private room at The Sovereign Grill."Ms. Everhart, please get to the point." Frowning, Bruce stole a quick glance at his watch. "Your uncle, Mr. Everhart, is in the hot seat right now. If he found out I was meeting you behind his back at such a sensitive time, he'd probably think I had some hidden agenda. Any future meeting between us would be unbearably awkward."Those words carried a double meaning. First, Bru

A ripple of gasps swept through the room. This young woman in front of them was throwing one bombshell after another.As for Nigel, everything around him faded to black.Without hesitation, Tony rushed to grab the shareholding agreement. He quickly returned to Nigel, spreading it out before him.Everything was plainly outlined in black and white. This was no mere figment of his imagination.Nigel felt the darkness closing in around him once more.A faint smile curled at the corners of Elijah's lips. His voice remained steady and composed. "As Ms. Everhart's attorney, I can assure you this shareholding agreement is legally binding."If you have any doubts, Mr. Everhart, you're welcome to have someone from the legal department verify it right now."If he dared to make such a claim, there could be no question that the document was genuine.Nigel's gaze cut through Winter. It was as if his eyes could tear her apart with their intensity.Back then, he had manipulated the will and f

"Your own abilities? I'm afraid you have none!" Nigel thought. "If this were ten years ago, you could have relied on your mother's name to strut through this office."But now, Victoria's gone. You're nothing but an orphan. Your father doesn't care, and your husband doesn't love you. You have no one to lean on."Even with two men drooling over you and backing you up, what would it change? I'm the one in charge of Everlast Tech!"The thought eased some of the tension in Nigel. His crossed legs trembled slightly beneath the table.Standing beside Winter, Elijah laid eyes on her so-called legendary uncle for the first time. Instantly, he felt a strong aversion to the man, recognizing a cunning, scheming mind behind his gaze.On top of that, the way he looked at Winter was unmistakably hostile. With this old fox at the helm, she would have to tread extremely carefully if she hoped to survive."Ms. Everhart, since Mr. Everhart has already promised you a position, you should just wait p

"What's going on? Can't you see we're in the middle of a meeting?" Nigel looked visibly annoyed, slipping back into his bossy, high-and-mighty demeanor."Mr. Everhart, we have a problem!" Tony whispered urgently into his ear, "Ms. Everhart… is approaching the conference room, and she's not by herself!""Winter's here?" Nigel's face darkened instantly. "How could you let her in? Why didn't you have someone stop her?" he hissed through clenched teeth."I… I didn't dare!" Tony appeared completely intimidated. "After all, she's Mr. Stroud's wife, and Mr. Stroud just helped you through your crisis. Even if you feel otherwise, you still have to be polite out of respect for him…"He was right. Winter held the title of Mrs. Stroud. As long as their marriage remained valid, Nigel was obliged to show her at least a measure of respect."Damn it! Regardless, it was your responsibility to stop her! Is this conference room some place where just anyone can barge in?"As soon as Nigel's words la

After receiving a so-called pardon from Joshua, Nigel immediately started getting carried away again. Even while recuperating in the hospital, he didn't forget to instruct Tony to purchase emerald gemstones from Jasper.Yet every time, the outcome was more loss than profit—stones worth tens of thousands split open to reveal nothing but worthless fragments. Still, Nigel was a born gambler. He lived for the rush.As the company sank deeper into trouble, he displayed neither urgency nor resolve. Other leaders would risk their entire fortunes in a desperate bid to turn things around.He, by contrast, wouldn't spend a single cent. Instead, he remained content to sit back and watch from the sidelines.Right in front of Winter, he put on a pitiful act, whining about being poor. He would risk tens of millions on gemstones and bets, yet wouldn't spend even a fraction of that to acquire components legitimately.If that weren't the case, why would Steven insist he felt secure only when Everl

Night had fallen, and silence blanketed everything. Winter lay in bed, her mind wandering to Nigel being bailed out by Joshua and making his way back to Everlast Tech.She didn't know how he might challenge her going forward. The unknown left her caught between apprehension and anticipation.Sleep continued to evade her as she shifted restlessly beneath the covers. Suddenly, her phone vibrated on the bedside table.Winter reached over and picked it up. Alistair's name lit up on the screen. Why would he be calling at this hour? Had something gone wrong?Winter's heart tightened. She sat up and answered immediately. It almost felt as if it were her own son calling. She didn't dare waste a single second."What's wrong, Auro? Do you need my help with something?""W-Winter… I… I'm sorry to bother you so late…" Alistair's voice was delicate and weak. A faint sob lingered beneath his words."Don't worry. I wasn't tired anyway." Noticing that something was off with Alistair, Winter spok
