“That’s right!” Charles swiftly spoke up to declare his loyalty. “You should’ve taken over the company long ago. Alpha Ventures has been doing
worse every year since the day your mother passed away. We never get any
dividend!”
“Yeah!”
The other shareholders nodded in agreement, with no intention to be left out.
When Madeline Summers, Claire’s mother, was still alive, Alpha Ventures was as strong as Solstice Industries. She was charming and cunning, not inferior to any man!
In just two short years since her arrival in Silverton, she had given birth to a child while building Alpha Ventures to the second–largest real estate developer in the city.
After she passed away and the company fell into Robert’s hands, the company truly performed worse year by year. The second–largest real estate developer of Silverton had fallen from grace in less than two years. Now, they depended on other people’s charity to survive.
For the minor shareholders, they had so few shares that they barely got anything.
“Thank you, everyone.”

Claire then walked over to Robert who was still sitting on the floor. With her hands held behind her back, she leaned down to look him in the eye. “I’ve
done as you requested Father You’re a man of your word right?”

Nothing Robert could say would work now.
He only controlled 25% of the company shares. Even if he did not want to step down, the combined support of all the minor shareholders meant she had 50% of the company behind her back. As for the second largest shareholder of the company, he or she had never shown up to any meetings. No one even knew if he
or she lived in Silverton.
He did not want to give in, yet what could he do?
As he heaved a heavy sigh, he placed his palms on the ground and struggled to
his feet.
“Okay…”
“No! Not okay!”
Just then, a woman’s shrill voice rang through the air. Everyone turned around to find Evelyn standing proudly at the doorway of the conference
room.
Everyone was stunned. Evelyn controlled the Morgan Group and was a Vanderbilt. Why would someone as esteemed as she ever appears in the office of a random company like Alpha Ventures?
The others might not know why Evelyn was here, but Claire did. Evelyn was
here to threaten her.
Evelyn glanced at the stunned men before gracefully striding further into the room with her purse in hand.

compared to them. After all, Vanderbilt Realty was the greatest real estate developer in the entire country!
Evelyn just needed to say the word and permit them to follow right behind the Vanderbilts in everything, and they would have swiftly grown rich over the
years.
Everyone was confused about Evelyn’s sudden appearance. Why now after over 20 years of absence?
Thus, they all stood there, silently waiting to see what would happen.
Evelyn turned and smiled at Claire. “You still have time to say yes, Claire.”
Claire just stared at her in silence with a blank look on her face. No emotions shone in her eyes.
Claire had expected this to happen beforehand. She just wanted to know how far Evelyn would go.
Hence, she merely smiled back at Evelyn. “It has not been three days yet. Still, my answer would be the same.”
She paused. Then, in an emphatic and slow tone, she declared, “I. Say. No.”
“Very well!”
Evelyn was a ruthless woman. Whether she was happy or angry, she would always be seen smiling and as elegant as ever. She was cunning and dangerous through and through.
Evelyn spun around and looked at the minor shareholders like Amos and

Charles. With her chin held high in the air, she stated, “As the second largest shareholder in Alpha Ventures, I support Robert Donovan to continue as the chairman of the company. Are you going to oppose me and instead support Claire Donovan?”
The word “oppose” seemed to give the elderly man a shock.
Was that a joke? This was Evelyn Vanderbilt!
The Morgans were one of the leaders of the industry in Silverton while the Vanderbilts managed the greatest financial company in the country with fingers in nearly every industry like real estate, the entertainment
industry, gaming, food production, manufacturing, and so much more. Just the
combined size of the Vanderbilts‘ factories would be more than ten times larger than Silverton.
While it may not sound nice, it meant that murder was as easy as squashing an ant for the Vanderbilts. All of their annual income and profit combined would be far less than a day’s profit for a Vanderbilt.
Thus, opposing Evelyn?
Ha.
They would never dare to do that.
Amos keenly realized the change in the situation and abruptly straightened his back, almost breaking his spine from how much force he had exerted.
With a hand hurriedly held up to support his back, he smiled and replied, “That’s a funny joke, Mrs. Morgan. Haha. Why would we ever oppose you?”

She then turned around to look at Claire with a much kinder attitude than before and spoke as if she was speaking to her own daughter, “Claire, if your ever change your mind, you’re welcome to come to me at any time”
Claire silently smiled in response
Seeing that Evelyn was about to leave, Robert walked over with a stiff smile on his lips “Mrs Morgan, Ljust so happen to be treating the shareholders to lunch today Why don’t you join us?”
“No thanks” Evelyn bluntly rejected “Xander is still in the hospital. I
have to look after him”
She then turned to walk away but soon stopped to stare at Claire while making
the gesture for Claire to call her
