After a brief silence, Gwendolyn smiled and said, “Everyone eventually has to pay the price for their action, and

Maverick is no exception.”

Upon hearing that, Sherman finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She will seek revenge on Maverick for past grievances, but she didn’t mention taking vengeance on me because of

Eloise. In the end, she still cares about me, doesn’t she? Now, she’s just mad at me because of Eloise, so I still have

a chance!

Having figured it out, Sherman stood up happily. “Gwendolyn, don’t worry. I’ll change, and I’m willing to wait. As

long as you turn around, I’ll always be here.”

After he finished speaking, he left..

Gwendolyn pressed her palm against her forehead, her face filled with exasperation.

It seems he still hasn’t fully understood what I meant. Forget it; I’ll explain it when there’s a chance in the future.

In the following days, Samantha constantly claimed that she was visiting various construction sites and barely spent

any time at the office. She did not go to the office to report on her work progress.

If Frida called her and asked her, she would say she was busy.

Frida was displeased by her attitude.

If it weren’t for the fact that Frida needed people to help her, she would have exploded long ago.

Just as she was thinking, the phone rang. It was a call from Sheralyn.

“Hello, my girl, what’s wrong?”

On the other end of the phone, Sheralyn sounded extremely dissatisfied, and she was full of complaints.

“Why has my allowance decreased so much recently? It’s so embarrassing that when I went shopping with the two

socialites from the Xenos family, my card showed insufficient balance. How am I supposed to survive in my social

circle now?”

Frida felt a bit guilty.

She had given all her money to Samantha to invest in various projects, so she had no choice but to secretly reduce

Sheralyn’s pocket money.

“Mom! You used to say that daughters should be raised in wealth. How can you treat me like this now?”

Frida had no choice but to comfort Sheralyn with the things Samantha had previously said to her.

“Sweetheart, the company has been facing some financial difficulties recently, and I’m left with no choice. Once

everything gets better, I’ll double your allowance and buy you anything you want!”

“I also want the full set of limited edition skincare products from Lancome’s pre-sale!”

“All right, all right. We’ll buy them all!”

After hanging up the phone, Frida thought of Samantha.

The latter hadn’t returned to the company to report her progress for a few days, nor had she made any phone

calls. Frida had a hunch that her niece was hiding something from her.

Unable to put her mind at ease, Frida decided to give Samantha a call personally.

Just as she opened her phone’s contact list, the door was suddenly pushed open forcefully by her assistant,

Leslie.

Frida was annoyed and glared at her angrily. “Don’t you know that you should knock before entering?”

Leslie couldn’t care less about all that and anxiously said. “Mrs. Wright, we have a problem! The construction team

from Linderson Constructions is causing trouble at our doorstep, and they’ve blocked the entrance to the building!”

“What?”

Frida thumped the table and stood up in shock. “How dare they be so arrogant! What are the security guards

doing?”

“There are too many people. The entire construction team of over a hundred people is gathered downstairs. They

said the agreed-upon payment for the project hadn’t been transferred to their account yet, and the person in

charge was even fired by Ms. Lane for poor supervision! Now they’re leaderless, wielding construction tools as

weapons and demanding an explanation from you!”

The payment hasn’t been transferred to their account? Where is my money, then? What on earth is Samantha up

to?

An extremely bad assumption crossed her mind, and Frida’s face turned pale with fright.

She couldn’t believe Samantha would do this to her. After all, Samantha was her niece!

To verify her assumption, she nervously dialed Samantha’s phone number.

The call went through.

The ringtone was heard, but the sound grew closer and stronger.

It seemed as if it came from outside the door.

Leslie, who was standing nearby, noticed it too. Seeing that the door wasn’t fully closed, she was about to open it

completely when a pair of slender hands opened it from the outside.

Samantha’s makeup was exquisite, and she wore a strikingly colorful cocktail dress. Behind her followed a man

dressed like a lawyer.

Seeing that she was unhurried and even deliberately dressed up, Frida thought it was clear that she had come

prepared.

Leslie sensed that the mood was off and quietly sneaked away.

Inside the office, Frida was shocked that her eyes were bloodshot.

Samantha was amused by her expression.

“Aunt Frida, did you miss me so much after just a few days of not seeing me?”

Frida clenched her teeth, still holding onto a glimmer of hope. “Samantha, why haven’t you sent the additional

payment to the construction team of Linderson Constructions? What have you been doing these past two days?”

Didn’t you just guess it right, Aunt Frida?”

She smiled and walked over to sit in the guest chair opposite Frida. “That’s right; I didn’t use a single

penny

of that eight billion eight hundred million on the company. I’ve asked the finance department to quietly transfer it all

to my account. By the way, at least Half of the people in the company are now on my side.”

“You! How dare you!”

Such a huge amount of money is actually taken by her! She can even make more than half of the company’s staff

take her side! Could it be that she has planned it all along?

Frida was so angry that her heart ached, and she painfully slid into the chair. “How could Louis condone your

shameless behavior? Or did you hide it from him?”

Samantha sneered, “Aunt Frida, did you forget that my father is the one in charge at home? But on this matter, he

still supports me. Do you think just because you married into the Wright family, you can act all high and mighty

when you come back to your parent’s home? Do you think he doesn’t dislike you?”

Frida’s family background wasn’t the best, but it was her campus romance and her impressive academic

achievements as a top finance student that gave her the opportunity to marry into the Wright family.

Frida’s brother, Louis Landers, wasn’t as fortunate. He fell in love with the heiress of the Lane family, but due to

their difference in social status, he had no choice but to marry into the Lane family. As a result, even his children

couldn’t carry his last name.

Frida was furious as she clutched her chest tightly with both hands to help herself catch her breath, barely

managing to alleviate the suffocating feeling.

“You’ve embezzled so much money from Wright Construction Group. What on earth are you trying to do?”

Samantha smiled faintly and raised her hand to signal the lawyer to come forward.

The lawyer, facing Frida’s skeptical gaze, placed a contract on the office desk.

Frida took it and opened it, only to exclaim, “Samantha! You’re actually planning to devour Wright Construction

Group!”

“Why would you phrase it that way?”

Samantha chuckled and continued, “Aunt Frida, let me make myself clear. I’m willing to pay ten billion for the

management rights of Wright Construction Group. You don’t know how to run a business, and I think Wright

Construction Group would be better off in my hands.”

Ten billion?

Frida gritted her teeth. It seemed to her that the Lane family indeed supported this matter. On top of the eight

billion eight hundred million, they had given Samantha an additional one billion two hundred million.

Oh my goodness! These are my relatives from my parent’s family! My own brother and niece!

Frida was so angry that she couldn’t speak. After calming down for a while, she finally said through gritted teeth.

“You wish! Wright Construction Group is a joint-stock company! My son is the largest shareholder! If you want to buy

Wright Construction Group, you should ask him!”

“I’ve sent people to look for Maverick, but he’s been missing for so long that he’s probably dead out there. Dexter,

that sly old fox, was also sent away by me. Tsk, tsk. So only you, the person in charge’s mother, can help me out.”

“You!” Frida exclaimed in anguish.

Only now did she clearly see Samantha’s step-by-step plan. First, she was lured into selling her shares and

mortgaging her house. After obtaining a huge amount of funds, Samantha brought down Wright Construction Group

and got it transferred to her name.

Seeing that Frida remained silent, Samantha became a bit impatient. “Aunt Frida, dragging this on won’t help. Just

make it snappy and sign it! After Wright Construction Group merges with Lane Group, its status will only improve!”

Frida was filled with immense despair.

Is Wright Construction Group really going to meet its end at my hands?

She bit her lower lip until it bled while her trembling hand reached for the pen.

Suddenly, a cold and arrogant voice sounded from outside the door.

“Ms. Lane, you get too excited too early. You should have asked me before trying to buy Wright Construction

Group!”

Upon hearing this extremely familiar voice, both Frida and Samantha were taken aback!
