The Quiet Daughter Chapter 11
He was thinking and weighing his options. He was trying to determine if I was telling the truth.Which would be easier for him to accept? A monster possessed by some supernatural entity, or a daughter who was simply a terrifyingly precocious, deeply calculating genius? Which one posed less of a threat to his business empire? The answer was obvious.A long time passed. It felt so long that I actually began to think he would fly into a rage and put me under house arrest. However, he suddenly laughed. It was a soft, low chuckle that sounded like a relief.“Good. What a brilliant way to hide yourself.”He stood up from his chair, walked over to me, and helped me to my feet.“My daughter was talking at age three, and by age eight, she had read over three thousand books. You’re not dumb; you are a one-in-a-million prodigy, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. In fact, it is a massive achievement!”He patted my shoulder, his pressure firm.“As for why you hid it?”He looke

“Savannah, did the angel in your dreams teach you all of this as well?”My father’s question shattered the warm, harmonious atmosphere in the room, and the smile on my mother’s face froze. Although she didn’t know much about business, she could detect the hidden trace of suspicion and scrutiny in his voice.The air in the room seemed to freeze. I looked at my father, knowing that the excuse of a “dream from an angel” had just cracked. I could rely on a divine encounter to explain a single miracle, but I couldn’t use it to explain a continuous stream of wisdom and strategy that far exceeded my age.Businessmen were inherently suspicious, and this was especially true for a self-made billionaire father like mine. He could be ecstatic about having a genius daughter, but he could also feel a sense of fear toward a daughter he could neither control nor understand.He was beginning to wonder if a strange, ancient soul was living inside this small body of mine. If I answered yes, it would

It was as if she were truly seeing me, her own daughter, for the very first time.“Savannah, when… did you learn to speak? Why… Why did you never tell me?” she said it cautiously, but she sounded hurt. I looked at her, having prepared my explanation in advance. It was essentially the same story I had spun for my father.I spun a tale about an angel appearing in my dreams to guide me. I claimed I hadn’t understood it myself, and that it was only under today’s high-stakes pressure that everything suddenly clicked, granting me a moment of pure clarity. Although the explanation sounded completely surreal, it was the easiest answer for a mother who loved her daughter more than life itself to accept. It was also the answer that would bring her the most peace of mind.Sure enough, after listening to my story, my mother didn't doubt me for a single second. Instead, she clasped her hands together in prayer and looked out the window.“Thank God…”She mumbled to herself, her eyes filled wi

The executives who had just been humiliated by Charles so badly that they couldn’t even lift their heads were now standing upright. Their faces were flushed with excitement, and they were relieved of years of bottled-up anger inside them.My father stood up as well. He walked over to me and patted me firmly on the shoulder.“Good! What a brilliant hostile takeover! What a magnificent way to show them our strength! You truly are a Sterling!”He immediately ordered, “Mr. Woods, draft an agreement right now. Write it exactly how Savannah just laid it out, and don’t change a single word!“Ross, you lead the team yourself. Take a few of our sharpest people and escort this Charles back to New Atlantica! I want them to know that Sterling Group is not a soft target they can just push around!”His stream of directives was firm, commanding, and authoritative.The entire atmosphere of Sterling Group shifted in an instant. It transformed from a place of suffocating humiliation and oppression

My father’s entire body shuddered once again. He stared down at me, the confusion in his eyes gradually fading away, replaced by an intense, almost fanatical light. Suddenly, he threw his head back and laughed out loud. His laughter was boisterous, filled with a sense of pure, long-suppressed release and absolute joy.“Hahaha! Good! What a brilliant defense! A natural-born prodigy! My daughter is no fool or mute! My daughter, Savannah Sterling, is a born business genius!”He scooped me right up into his arms. My body was so small that he easily hoisted me high above his head. He spun around to face the crowded room and said in a booming voice, filled with an unprecedented level of pride and sheer authority, “Listen up, everyone! Starting today, Savannah Sterling is officially part of the core executive team of Sterling Group! Every major strategic decision must receive her approval!”The moment those words left his mouth, the entire room erupted into utter shock!An eight-year-ol

The nanny next to her hurriedly held her up. I could hear her muffled, joyful sobs.The expressions on my cousins’ faces were a sight to behold. The mockery and smug looks that had been plastered across their faces just moments ago had vanished. Replacing it was the same ghost-struck horror that I felt, along with a trace of pure terror that they couldn’t hide. They no longer looked at me like I was dumb. Instead, they were looking at a terrifying entity that they couldn’t comprehend at all.Then, there was my father. He stood by the table, his tall frame trembling slightly, not from anger, but from extreme excitement. Those eyes of his, weathered by decades in the business world, were now brighter than they had ever been. Within them was ecstasy, shock, and the sheer thrill of recovering something thought to be lost forever. However, they mostly held the same confusion as my cousins.Step by step, he walked around the table and stopped right in front of me. This corporate tycoon, w
