Chapter 4
At that moment, I finally realized how laughable my attempts to avoid this situation were.
Once she finished explaining the plan, the room erupted in applause.
All eyes were on me.
Dad spoke sternly, “Ann, what are you waiting for? It’s your turn.”
Arthur also arrived at that moment, smiling as he took my computer to the stage to copy the file.
I rushed forward, grabbed the mouse, and before the file could be shown, I pressed delete.
“I didn’t write it. I’m giving up the inheritance!”
At the same time, Janice’s plan disappeared from the screen.
She turned red with anger.
“Are you crazy? What are you doing?!”
Arthur was trembling with rage. “What are you playing at? The alliance with Burton’s family can only happen if Robinson’s heir is in charge. Are you trying to ruin the engagement?”
“Ann, don’t say I didn’t warn you. My parents won’t let a failure into the family. If you give up the inheritance, our engagement is off!”
Dad, furious, slapped me across the face.
“What nonsense are you spouting?! If you give up the inheritance, get out of the Robinson family! Have you lost your mind?”
“You’ve been gone for so long, and you still haven’t written anything? You’ve been in the company for two more years than your sister, can’t you even write something decent?”
“You’ve really disappointed me! Do you know how many eyes are on you? Do you know the pressure I’ve been under these past days, trying to buy time for you two?!”
I wiped the blood from my lips and sneered. “You don’t need to say it, I’ll leave on my own.”
“I didn’t write it. I’ve been traveling out of town. What, are you in a hurry?”
“The company already has my sister. Whether I’m here or not, it doesn’t matter, right? Let her take over the reforms. I don’t want a penny from the Robinson family. I’m leaving with nothing!”
With that, I looked at Arthur, my eyes filled with disappointment. “You think I don’t know about the dirty things you’ve been doing behind my back?”
“As far as I know, the Burton family’s shareholder meeting was held a month ago. Where were you that day? Do you want me to spell it out for you?”
“Since you all prefer Janice, let her have it. Actually, I don’t want to do this anymore!”
“I quit! From now on, the Robinson family has nothing to do with me! If the company goes bankrupt, don’t come looking for me!”
They thought by stealing my files and driving me out of the Robinson family, they could ruin me.
But they were wrong!
They may steal my plans, but they’ll never steal my experience and ideas. She never learn what I know!
I’m not going to spend my hard–earned efforts paving the way for Janice. It’s not going to happen!
If I hadn’t received that email before boarding the plane, I might’ve been kept in the dark forever!
But fortunately, I’ve seen the truth now, and I won’t be bound by this false family affection anymore.

Chapter 4
Since they’re all supporting Janice, let her have the Robinson family.
I’ll wait to see how she plans to revive the failing Robinson Group without my support!
The room was silent.
Cameras from reporters focused on
my
face.
The shareholders were restless, panicking.
“What’s going on? Giving up the inheritance? Janice has only graduated for two years, and even if this plan is a stroke of luck, it’s nothing! How can such a huge company be entrusted to a young girl?”
“I don’t agree! If Janice manages the company, it would be better to announce bankruptcy now! Refund our investment, and we’ll go off and do our own thing!”
“Exactly! Who doesn’t know the contribution Ann has made in these two years? The company’s profits have increased several times, and that’s the best proof! If she leaves, the company will collapse in less than a month!“.
Faced with the shareholders‘ doubts, Dad was in a panic.
“Everyone, calm down. I’ve already promised that whoever writes the reform plan will inherit the company. Since Ann has voluntarily given up, it’s up to Janice now!”
“She’s also my daughter, I know her abilities. She just lacks experience, don’t worry! I’ll help her manage until she’s capable enough. I won’t retire yet.” Having experienced my father’s reprimand in my past life, I now saw his bias toward Janice with clearer eyes.
Seeing the comparisons, my heart was full of sarcasm.
As expected, all the care and protection he once showed me were all just for show.
Janice was the heir he had already chosen long ago!
No matter how hard I tried, in the end, all the credit would be attributed to Janice!
The shareholders didn’t buy into his words.
Arthur, seeing this, became anxious.
“Everyone, please calm down! The Burton and Robinson families have already decided on a marriage alliance. This time, Janice will inherit the company, and I will do everything I can to help her! I know the situation at Robinson’s is precarious, but if you don’t trust Janice, can’t you trust the Burton family?”
