Chapter 2
David taped an eyebrow as he sided with Hannah. “Abigail, Hannah’s abilities are no worse than yours. Why can’t she run The Wright Group? If you’re smart, you’ll pack your things and leave. Go back to the hospital and will for your end.”
The audacity of his words almost made me laugh out of anger. What alalties does Hannah have to run a company? Three years ago, her own.company was in mums because of her mismanagement, eventually declaring bankruptcy When she was at rock bottom. I helped her, pulling her out of the dark and even giving her shares in my company. She lacked the skills to manage air thing and nearly as one of my subsidiaries intothe ground. I never told David this, out of respect for Hannah.
I lifted my head and gave a cold, knowing smile to Hansab. “Who says my times over? 1. Abigail, founded The Wright Group. Do you think you can just
steal it from met
Hannah’s expression immediately darkened. Before she could respond, David eered at me.
“Abigail, so what if you founded The Wright Group? Does that mean we should let the company collapse because of your selfishness? Don’t think I’m the only one who disagrees–none of the shareholders will either.”
How about you transfer your shares to me? Consider it compensation for the years I wasted with you.”
David shamelessly made his proposal, and Hannah added. “Abigail, I know its be hard for you to step down but you’re gravely Shouldn’t the Wright Group be handed oger to someone capable of managing it? What do you think, shareholders?”
Hannah turned her head toward the shareholders, and I could tell she was trying to provoke them, playing on their self interest.
The shareholders she had bribed stood up ce by one, pointing at me as they spoke
“That’s right. You’re practically on your deathbed, but The Wright Group need someone to take charge. We’ve all seen Ms. Walker’s abilities; less capable than you.”
“Ms. Wright, you can’t let your selfishness ruin all of our interests
“We don’t have to be afraid. Ms. Walker holds more shares than you now, and if it comes down to st, we can all push her out together.”
Jack spoke up, calm and composed, sipping his tea. He was one of the original members of The Wright Group, someone who had been by my side since the beginning, watching it grow.

Their betrayal cut deeper than anything else. I could feel the weight of their ment, the coldness in their eyes
With a steady hand, I wiped the blood from my forehead, trying to keep my composure. The metallic smell of blood seemed to trigger something in Hannah. She soddenly gagged and ran to the restroom David, on the other hand, only smiled more.
A month ago, Hannah had become pregnant, but the father’s identity was unclear. She had been on the brink of despair, claiming that her body was “special” and that she could never be a mother again if she had an abortion.
In an attempt to give her the courage to move forward, I had become the child’s godmother and gifted her shares as a present for the baby.
After a while, Hannah returned, and David immediately embraced her, his gaze fixed on me.
“Abigail, I almost forgot to tell you something.”
I could already sense what was coming, and the anger inside me caused my hands to tremble. My vision
blurred with a red hare.
“The child in my belly is David’s,” Hannah sad, not even trying to hide her wants. “Every time you fell asleep, he’d secretly come to my room. And when we were together, he never used protection”
She made such disgusting remarks, all while David stood there, showing no comfort, instead sneering at me with her.
Snap!
I snapped the pen in my hand in half, the force of my anger breaking it. This their plan all along–to use the child as leverage to get me to hand

Istared directly at Hannah and David, my voice calm but firm “Gaven

After all, I had always treated them with sincerity, never once wronged them
Hannah, swaying her hips in that irritating way of hers, approached me. She pulled our a cigarette, placed it between her lips, and a shareholder, eager to please, stepped up with a lighter to light it. The smoke spiraled in the air, and Hannah arrogantly blew the smoke in my face.
“Tve never bed you” she said. “Whether it’s your family background, your education, or your looks, I’m not inferior to you. But you always get better and better, while my company went bankrupt the day your business was thring. You stood at the top with the man I liked, looking down on me!”
I looked at her, disbelief spreading in my chest. I had never once belied here alone known she was secretly in love with David. My only mistake was allowing her to work in my company, trusting her army hete
David chimed with a smirk: “You never cared about me, always working on husness trips, never understanding romance. How could you ever make me happye Hannah does? Taking me to see sunrises in flower fields, making me feel special.”
You only gave me money–what else did you give me?”
So, it was all about that. The betrayal over a lack of romance. I laughed bitterly
Thad worked so hard every day, hoping to give him a better life, a life free from worries. Running such a large company didn’t leave room for idlers. But I realized that, in their eyes, my devotion had become my fault.
This time, I didn’t let anger take over. Instead. I calmly walled back to my se

David raised his hand, pointing at me, shouting. “Get up! That’s Hannah’s seat now!
Hannah sneered, her voice dripping with malice: “Let her ut a line longer. After all, it’s her company she buit. But it’s ours now–she must be
“Let her sit forever?” someone asked.
“Of course not, maybe five minutes at most “
I wan’t concerned about their petty remarks. At this point, I had let go of them completely.
I remained calm and composed as I sat, watching the minutes pass. Five minutes passed, and the smile on Hannah’s face gradually faded, rated by a cold, vicious glare
“Call security up here,” she ordered. “If she won’t leave, we’ll have to throw her out?
“Yeah, she’s fallen so low, and still acting so high and mighty,” came the shout free some shareholders,
At this moment, I decided 1 no longer had to be polite. I had already identified the traitors among me, and it was time to take swift action.
As I stood up my assistant beside me took out their phone and made a call “You can come in tune”
The room fell silent, the sharehahlers exchanging confused glances, unsure of my intentions,
1 chuckled coldly. “You thought I had terminal illness and that you could all in on me?”
“B” I gave a chilling smile
“I never bad a terminal illness. That was a bart. I just wanted to see how many parasites I had in my company. I wanted to see what you’d do when you thought I was on my deathbed.”
