All Chapters of My Ex-Wife Cried When She Learned How Powerful I Really Was: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Charles said coldly, “You can leave now. Kingston Industries proposed this partnership themselves. No one can change that.”Sophia said, “If you don’t transfer the partnership opportunity to me, you and Alice will never be able to be together openly.”Charles could not help laughing. “Sophia, you were the chairwoman of Horizon Group for six months. Do you really not understand even the most basic business principles?“Can a partnership opportunity be transferred so easily? Even if Alice agreed, do you think Kingston Industries would?”Sophia frowned. Only then did she realize that she had oversimplified the situation.“The opportunity can’t be transferred, but she can give it up, can’t she? Alice, give up the partnership, and I’ll finalize the divorce with Charles.”Charles did not know how to react. Sophia was truly malicious. If she could not have something, she would not allow anyone else to have it either.Charles said, “Once the owner of Kingston Industries arrives in Rivergate, c

Max sneered. “Charles, at least you know your place. Let me go and pay me forty thousand dollars in compensation. Then I’ll let this go.“Don’t think I’ve wasted all these years. I have plenty of connections in the criminal underworld.”Max thought his words would frighten Charles into releasing him.Instead, Charles laughed.“Connections in the criminal underworld? Could any of your connections be more powerful than this man?”Max frowned.Who was Charles talking about?Just then, another man approached.The moment Max recognized him, he wet himself.“Kane Carter!”“Mr. Carter, what are you doing here?”Max completely panicked.He was not afraid of Charles, but a ruthless man like Kane could easily have him killed in the factory.“Mr. Carter, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. Please, Mr. Carter, let me go. I’ll get down on my knees and beg.”Max’s voice had even turned hoarse.He wanted to kneel, but the wooden chair held him firmly in place.Kane walked behind Charles and bowed deeply

A smile unconsciously appeared on Sophia’s face.“Miss Lowe, I understand what you’re saying, but Alice and I have a personal grudge. I can’t let her build A&C Properties into a successful company.“You also know that her reputation in Rivergate is already in the gutter. Kingston Industries’ partnership with her will inevitably damage its reputation.”Fancy shook her head. “I can’t change a decision from above, but perhaps you can.”Sophia pointed at herself in confusion. “Me? How could I?”Fancy smiled. “Aren’t you confident that you can win over my boss? If you become the boss’ wife, wouldn’t Kingston Industries be yours to command?”Sophia’s smile grew wider. This was exactly what she wanted most.If she married the owner of Kingston Industries, why would she still care about Horizon Group?“Miss Lowe, do you really think I have a chance?”Fancy nodded. “Of course. You’re young, beautiful, and successful. They say no man can resist a beautiful woman, especially one who is capable as

Wendy nearly ground her back teeth to dust. She said to Charles, “You hid so much money from my daughter. Hand it over. It all belongs to her.”Charles said coldly, “You shameless woman. Tell Sophia to come and ask me herself. Let’s see if she has the nerve.”Wendy took a deep breath and snarled, “Charles, I’ll make you cough up every penny.”She left the sales gallery and immediately called Sophia.“Sophia, why were you in such a hurry to get divorced? He still has money! He bought a property worth $7.776 million!”Sophia was so furious that she could barely breathe when she heard Wendy’s news.She thought she had emptied Charles’ accounts and made him walk away from the marriage with nothing.She never expected him to still have money and so much of it.Sophia felt as though Charles had stolen her money, and the thought infuriated her.“Mom, are you sure he really bought it”“Of course I’m sure! I’m furious with him. Why did you rush the divorce? You left him with a fortune and pract

“I understand now, Charles. I finally know what you’re trying to do. You’re pretending to be wealthy, so I’ll demand another division of our assets. Your real target is Horizon Group’s shares.“Hahahaha! You must have almost emptied your bank account by now! I won’t let you have your way.“Mom, let’s go. Don’t fall for his trap.”Wendy left the car dealership in disbelief.“Sweetheart, are we really just going to let this go? He spent $7.776 million on that property, and the car must have cost several hundred thousand more. Aren’t we going to get any of that money back?”Wendy was heartbroken over the money because she had genuinely come to regard the money in Charles’ account as her own.Sophia said, “Mom, I’m certain he’s already run out of money. He’s only doing this to provoke me into demanding another division of our assets. I can’t sacrifice the bigger prize for a small gain.“Trust me. It won’t be long before he has to sell the car and the property.”Wendy asked doubtfully, “Rea
