Chapter 4

Author: Hedgebud
Bad news kept rolling through the party, and not just for the Roy family, even the clients who had come to celebrate with them started getting calls.

Every contract the Roy family had previously signed, whether with partners, banks, or major clients, was affected. One after another, they made it clear they would only work with me.

Where I went, they would follow. For a moment, Jack’s face turned pale.

He turned toward the direction I had left and stumbled slightly. “Go after her! Bring her ba

  • The Fake Heiress’ Rampage   Chapter 8

    What he had not expected was that I, a girl from the countryside, would rise to the top and become the most prominent figure in the Roy family.It was something he could not accept. So he brought his biological niece back from the countryside with the hope that she could take my place.Unfortunately, Lilian was incapable. When that failed, he decided to push me out instead. He had her demand all my shares, even the company. In the end, she could not hold on to any of it.Now that everything had come to light and the evidence was clear, the Roy family reported Alex to the police. Lauren made it clear that she would never forgive him.Lily, on the other hand, was terrified. She dropped to her knees and begged Lauren for forgiveness over and over.However, she had broken my parents’ heart.Alex had been scheming all along, and that idiot was stupid enough to team up with him and try to drain the family dry. In the end, they gave Lily an apartment, fifty thousand in cash, and told he

    I shrugged and gestured toward the door. Lilian was furious, but Jack dragged her out. Even from a distance, I could still hear her cursing me. Then, a sharp slap cut through the air.She left in tears. I figured that she would eventually understand what I meant.Three days later, Jack returned. He handed me the equity transfer agreement and begged me to come back.By then, the Roy family’s assets were nearly depleted. And one by one, the people hiding in the shadows had started showing their true colors.When Jack’s brother, Alex Roy, saw me, he immediately rushed forward. “What are you doing here? Maxine, the company has nothing to do with you anymore!”Jack pushed him aside. “Max is here to acquire the company. The company’s finished.”Alex was stunned. “Acquire it? She has nothing. She was thrown out of the family. How could she possibly acquire us?”I snorted. “I might not have the money, but the Pratt family does.”Lilian clenched her fists. “That’s my engagement!”“But

    Jack went home in a rage. Two more days passed before I saw him and Lilian again.I sat high above the city in my sleek, sunlit office while Lilian stared at me with an unpleasant expression. After seeing me, Jack gave her a shove from behind. “Didn’t you say you had something to say? Get on with it.”She looked at me with an obvious reluctant expression.“Max, I’m sorry. I wasn’t thinking straight. Come back, please.”Hearing that, I chuckled. “You’re asking me to come back? Let me do the math. Hiring a CEO at this level would cost at least tens of millions a year, and that would come with equity. How far are you willing to go? How much are you offering me?”After saying that, I looked straight at her. Lilian clenched her fists tightly, as if she had suddenly remembered what I said when I left. The Roy family did not survive on their name, but on me. Hearing I was asking her for terms, she was reluctant, but she had no choice but to compromise.“I’ll give you twenty percent of

    I let out a self-mocking smile. “I’ll give myself this much, I know I’m useful. But here is something you clearly didn’t figure out about me. I’ve never played by anyone else’s rules. I never place the initiative in anyone else’s hands. Neither you nor Lilian is my only option.”At that, he finally lost his composure. He clearly had not expected me to be so dismissive.I stood up. Gregory reached out and grabbed me from behind. “Can’t you give me a chance?” “A chance? What kind of chance are you talking about? A chance between you and her, or a chance for you to use me?”I shook him off and walked away.What was he even trying to do, putting on this act in front of me?I did not want to deal with him, but he would not take the hint. Over the next few days, I received all kinds of flowers and small gifts.When I got off work, he would be standing outside. When I went to work, he would still be across from me. I took a deep breath. “Gregory, what exactly are you trying to do?”“

One after another, they made it clear they would only work with me.Where I went, they would follow. For a moment, Jack’s face turned pale.He turned toward the direction I had left and stumbled slightly. “Go after her! Bring her back now!”Hearing this, Lilian scowled. “Why do we have to dance to her tune? Anything she can do, I can do too. Why not let me try?”At that, Jack shut his eyes. “You want to try? Just forget it.”Everyone did what they could, but it made no difference. The welcome party ended hastily just like that. Sitting at the bar and swirling the red wine in my glass, I smiled. The Roy family was probably tearing their hair out.When my best friend Lea Reynor came over and saw how relaxed I looked, she

    Everyone on my team expressed their support for me. Lilian did not know this, but the Roy family’s position today had nothing to do with their so-called prestigious legacy. It was all built by me, Maxine Roy.Still, I would attend her welcome banquet.The Roy family had spared no expense. The event was held at Stone Ridge Manor.Anyone of status was there.The moment I arrived, I saw a few socialites I used to be close with. There was a trace of mockery on their faces.“Maxine, the audacity of you to show up! You’ve been kicked out, and you are still putting on airs. Don’t you feel embarrassed?”“Exactly. Look at this party; it’s obvious who the real daughter is. And you? You spent years building their empire for nothing. You’re left with nothing.”“Why not ask me for help? Maybe I can get you a job. Our company happens to need a receptionist. You have a decent face. Stand at the front desk for eight grand a month. What do you say?”I glanced over at them and said in disdain, “
