They Paid Me Less and Lost It All Chapter 10 The Final Reckoning
Audrey lunged at me, trying to grab the hem of my clothes. "Sophia, I was wrong. I really was. Please save me. My head feels like it's splitting open."I took a step back, avoiding her hand. "Don't touch me."I looked at the Shaws' horrified and pale faces, feeling absolutely nothing. "By the way, the night I left happened to be the end of that 10-year agreement."Then, I turned to Bianca. She had already collapsed into a chair, her entire body shaking in fright."Still, it has to be said that Ms. Vance smashed my grandmother's diamond pendant. And with it, she destroyed the Shaw family's last and only protection from my ire."Arthur dropped to his knees as he finally understood what he had lost. "Sophia. No—Quintana! Ms. Quinn!"He repeatedly slammed his forehead against the hardwood floor. "I was wrong. Bianca manipulated me. It's all her fault."He suddenly jumped to his feet. Then, he swung around and slapped Bianca hard across the face.The sharp crack echoed through the d
They Paid Me Less and Lost It All Chapter 9 The Truth Revealed
The heavy solid-wood doors slammed into the wall with a crash that echoed through the hall. Then, a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked in.Arthur's raised hand froze midair as soon as he saw who it was. After all, the uninvited guest was none other than Simon York, the global CEO of Astraea Tech.Arthur had exhausted every connection he had for the past three days to salvage the situation, but he had not even managed to get through to Simon's secretary.Nevertheless, Arthur was the first to recover. He scurried over to Simon with a fawning smile spread across his face, bowing so low that his face was nearly parallel to the floor. "Oh, Mr. York! What brings you here? Are you here on Quintana's behalf to sign the investment agreement? Please, have a seat."Bianca hastily tried to fix her hair, her high heels clicking forward as she smiled brightly."Hello, Mr. York. I'm Bianca. I was the one who emailed Quintana. I'm truly honored that Quintana recognized the value
They Paid Me Less and Lost It All Chapter 8 The Wrong Person to Celebrate
The butler and the servants had all been replaced with new faces. As a result, no one recognized me, which meant no one stopped me when I flounced past.I walked straight into the dining room. The long dining table was covered with expensive dishes. The aroma filled the room.Frederick sat in his wheelchair as Audrey squeezed a smile through her migraine.Arthur and Bianca's family raised their glasses in celebration."Mr. and Mrs. Vance, this is all thanks to Bianca."Bianca's father, Dominic Vance, beamed with pride. He kept bragging, spittle flying with every enthusiastic word."Quintana has already agreed to help us. Their executive assistant will come tomorrow to sign the contract."Arthur was so excited that his hands started shaking, causing a few drops of red wine to slosh out of his glass."That's wonderful! Astraea Tech won't amount to anything now that we have Quintana's money and connections! Shaw Group will be back on its feet in no time!"Bianca shot Audrey a smu
They Paid Me Less and Lost It All Chapter 7 Back to Clean House
When Frederick came home from the hospital, he returned in a wheelchair. He had lost so much weight that he was almost unrecognizable.The atmosphere in Shaw Estate was unbearably tense.Arthur stared at his inbox every single day, desperately waiting for a reply from the Quintana Bianca kept talking about."Bianca, why hasn't Quintana replied yet?" Arthur's eyes were bloodshot. His voice was hoarse.Bianca avoided his gaze, looking a little guilty."People like her are always busy with other projects. Don't worry. I've already asked my father to look into it. My parents are coming over tonight to discuss the wedding arrangements, so we'll settle this matter then."Frederick sat in his wheelchair as he looked at Bianca coldly. "If we can't secure the investment tonight, then you can forget about the wedding."The Shaws had spared no expense for that night's dinner.Audrey fought through a debilitating migraine to book an outrageously expensive banquet at an upscale restaurant.
They Paid Me Less and Lost It All Chapter 6 The Name She Never Expected
The Shaw family had fallen into complete chaos.Arthur was frantically scrambling to everyone and anyone, begging those who'd spare him a few minutes to save the company.He even tried to sneak into Astraea Tech's headquarters. However, the security guards promptly threw him out before he could even get past the front doors.So, Bianca played her last trump card in order to salvage her rock-bottom reputation in the Shaw family."Arthur, don't worry." She poured him a glass of water as she spoke, her voice full of confidence."I know Quintana, the top investor in Kingsport. As long as Quintana is willing to step in, Astraea Tech will have to show us some respect."Arthur grabbed her hand. "Do you really know Quintana? That mysterious investor?""Of course." Bianca lifted her chin proudly, looking utterly confident."We met at an exclusive executive networking event. She was very impressed by my business ecosystem theory. I'll email her right now. I'm sure she'll help us."She p
They Paid Me Less and Lost It All Chapter 5 Cutting the Lifeline
I glanced back at the lights glowing inside Shaw Estate."The 10 years are up. Spread the word. Cut off every resource line to the Shaw family. That includes their priority medical access and premium ingredient suppliers. And…"I paused as my eyes turned cold. "Terminate Astraea Tech's core technology licensing agreement with Shaw Group. Effective immediately."On the other end of the line, I could hear Chester Sterling suck in a sharp breath. "Ms. Quinn, you've finally made up your mind! I've been telling you that it wasn't worth spending 10 years just to repay a favor."Should I send someone to reclaim Shaw Estate? It was your property to begin with.""There's no rush." I looked at my shadow stretching beneath the streetlight. "Let them stay a few more days. I want them to savor every moment of their fall from disgrace."…The next day, Bianca posted a photo of my former housekeeper's room on social media.The caption read, "Clearing out low-vibration energy and embracing a h
