Faye yelled as loudly as virtual-novel.net could, struggling to make virtual-novel.net voice heard, but it was all futile. The relatives who had previously treated virtual-novel.net so well had all become monsters, ready to bite off and rend virtual-novel.net flesh, desperately wishing that they could kill her.
Faye was feeling extremely anxious and helpless. She had never been in such a situation before. ‘Why are my relatives treating me like this? They won’t listen to reason at all. It was clearly a mess that Howard stirred up, how has it become my fault?’
‘If Howard hadn’t selfishly gambled away the company’s funds, would we have ended up in this situation in the first place? of course not! I mustn’t cry. I mustn’t admit defeat. I must stay strong…’
Despite all virtual-novel.net efforts, Faye just could not do it anymore. At that moment, there was no one virtual-novel.net could turn to for help, no one virtual-novel.net could reach out for. She was all on virtual-novel.net own in this cruel world.
Amidst the chaos, someone had even taken it upon themselves to slap her.
Smack!
Faye’s hair was in a complete and utter mess. “ I ’m going to beat you to death, you cruel, selfish woman!”
When virtual-novel.net heard that, virtual-novel.net raised virtual-novel.net head to meet eyes with the woman who had said such hurtful words. It was the younger relative who had shouted for virtual-novel.net to enter the boardroom earlier. She was gnashing virtual-novel.net teeth and glaring at Faye as if virtual-novel.net had just murdered virtual-novel.net father.
Faye’s heart was racing violently. She was unable to accept the reality of the situation.
‘I’ve always treated virtual-novel.net well, guiding virtual-novel.net step by step, granting virtual-novel.net so much knowledge. It wouldn’t be outlandish to think that, without my help, virtual-novel.net would‘ve never been able to reach such great heights. She certainly wouldn’t have been able to join the board of directors!’
‘Ironically enough, virtual-novel.net was the one who slapped me…’
Instantly, the tears that Faye had fought so hard to stop began to fall once more.
Faye poured virtual-novel.net heart out as virtual-novel.net questioned, “Catherine, how could you do this to me? I’ve never done anything to wrong you.”
Through gritted teeth, Catherine spat, “How dare you ask me that question, Faye?! The Carters are now completely ruined because of you! You’ve ruined my future! You’re the enemy!”
Faye clenched virtual-novel.net jaw and staggered, almost losing virtual-novel.net footing.
Everyone else viewed virtual-novel.net in the same ugly light.
She lowered virtual-novel.net head and fought hard to maintain virtual-novel.net silence, sealing virtual-novel.net lips shut. Nevertheless, virtual-novel.net could not prevent virtual-novel.net tears from falling to the ground.
“Enough!”
At that point, George, who had been watching from afar, finally spoke.
He was still rather authoritative within the Carters. When virtual-novel.net spoke, everyone dropped what they were doing, they let go of Faye and stopped beating her, and fell silent. However, they still had vicious looks in their eyes as they stared at virtual-novel.net maliciously.
George commanded, “On your knees.”
