The Fake Heiress Meets the Real One Chapter 10
Three months later, construction on the data center resumed. All non-compliant materials were removed, and the Collins Group sold two idle properties to cover the funding shortfall.My father resigned as CEO. Andrew also left the legal department and accepted disciplinary action from the industry. He made no excuses for himself. Blair cooperated with the investigation, returned her director's bonus, and started over on an entry-level project team.The Hamiltons formally called off the engagement. Joseph returned the limited-edition watch to Blair. I heard she refused to take it back.Cameron withdrew from the project and voluntarily accepted responsibility for the losses caused by his investment decisions.Everyone paid a price, including me. I'd lost a family I'd only had for a year. But when I thought back on it, I'd lived in a guest suite from the day I walked through their door until the day I left. I hadn't really had a home there to begin with.…Tranquil Risk Management ga

The day of the meeting, I went anyway. Not for another homecoming ceremony. I went to say what still needed to be said.The family attorney brought the family trust documents.Blair stood behind my parents, stripped of the air of the eldest daughter she had once carried. She placed the key to the master suite in front of me. "The room is empty now. I'll return everything that belongs to you."I didn't take the key. "Where are you moving?""The west wing. The room where guests used to stay," she replied.My mother's expression changed. "It's smaller, and it's damp over there."Blair smiled faintly. "Renee lived there for a year. Why can't I?"My mother fell silent.The family attorney raised his pen. "Renee Collins will be listed first, and Blair Collins will be listed second. Once the changes are made, you'll officially be included in the family trust."I looked at the document. "Add one more condition."The family attorney frowned. "What?""The family trust establishes inhe

My father's cousin was taken away for questioning soon after. Thirty percent of the data center's material costs had been transferred into his personal account.My father sank back into his chair, his face ashen. "I didn't know. Blair was in charge of the project."Blair looked up. "You were the one who appointed the contractor. You said Uncle Peter had worked with the family for 20 years and that we couldn't turn our backs on him."My father snapped, "I told you to look after him. I didn't tell you to falsify anything with him!""I warned you," Blair said, her voice hoarse. "You told us to start construction first. You also said Renee could handle the risks afterward."No one in the conference room spoke again.My father had always looked down on me for following the rules. Yet from the very beginning, he'd been counting on me to clean up after everyone who didn't.One of the board representatives tapped the table. "Let's proceed with the vote. First, suspend Mr. Collins from h

Blair was suspended from her position, and Andrew was required to cooperate with the investigation.My mother sent me dozens of messages every day. One moment, she'd tell me my father's blood pressure was high. The next, she'd say Blair hadn't slept all night. Not once did she ask how I'd been doing over the past year.I blocked her.…On the third day of the project investigation, the owner of the construction company came to see me.He pushed a bank card across the table. "Miss Collins, everyone's just trying to get by. Sure, the materials were changed. But nothing actually caught fire, right?"I didn't touch the card. "What's the PIN?"He froze, then laughed. "Six eights.""Smart." I picked up my phone and called the regulator. "Did you hear that?"The smile vanished from the construction company owner's face. He lunged for my phone.Desiree hit the panic button on the side of the desk, and security arrived moments later.I slipped the bank card into an evidence bag. "You

The next day, my father came in person. My mother and Andrew stood behind him at the company reception desk.The receptionist asked if he had an appointment.My father's face darkened. "I'm Renee Collins's father."The receptionist remained perfectly polite. "You still need an appointment, sir."When I came out of the conference room, my father was on the verge of losing his temper.The moment he saw me, he lowered his voice. "Let's talk in private.""We can talk here," I said flatly.Employees who passed by began to slow their steps.My father gritted his teeth. "I'll agree to what you wanted regarding the family trust. Your name will be listed above Blair's, and you can have the master suite."My mother immediately added, "Blair's back is still injured. She'll need some time to move out."I nodded. "So I still have to wait."Her expression stiffened.Andrew held out a document. "The group is willing to hire you as a special consultant. If you turn the project around, you'

Vera's face went pale. "Yesterday morning? Why didn't you stop her from leaving?"Philip glanced at Gideon. "Mr. Collins already instructed me that if Miss Renee wanted to leave, I should let her go."Gideon's expression darkened. "I said that in the heat of the moment!"Andrew had already rushed upstairs. A few minutes later, he came back down with the watch. The gift box remained unopened, and even the wrapping paper was perfectly intact.Joseph's fingers went rigid at the sight of it.Blair said softly, "Maybe Renee will just be away for a few days. Once the project is sorted out, I'll go get her."Andrew suddenly looked up. "She even returned her employee ID. Her resignation has already gone through. She isn't throwing a tantrum. She really doesn't want us anymore."Gideon scoffed. "Fine. So she wants to prove how stubborn she can be? Then if something goes wrong with the project, she shouldn't blame our family for refusing to clean up her mess."At 10:00 a.m. that morning,
