Chapter 837: Chapter 837: A Wild Chicken Can Never Turn Into A Phoenix
Madam Drew glared resentfully and roared unwillingly, “Caleb! Vivian is your aunt, how could you…!”
“If she were indeed Caleb’s mother’s sister, he should indeed address her as aunt. But what qualifications does the daughter of a mistress have to be Caleb’s aunt?”
Xaviera Evans interrupted Madam Drew’s words indifferently, then sneered, “If you don’t want to apologize, so be it. Why bother climbing the family tree? Mr. Drew, I need to remind you of one thing. Three months ago, Boyd Drew and Zara Woods made a bet with me, and Mr. Drew wagered 2% of the Drew Corporation’s shares.”
“As it happens, I won the bet, so now I am also a shareholder of the Drew Corporation. If Boyd is prosecuted, I will sell those shares, which will be very unfavorable to Mr. Drew when it comes to consolidating his shares. However, it seems that Madam Drew and Miss Wendy Drew don’t care at all.”
The high-ranking members of the Drew family subconsciously looked at Boyd. He actually used the company’s shares as a bet? And lost to Xaviera?
Madam Drew, who had no education and knew even less about the company, shouted like a shrew, “Xaviera! On what grounds do you demand Vivian to apologize? No matter what, she is still her elder and you are showing disrespect!”
...
Everyone present knew that although Xaviera held only 2% of the shares, if Boyd really went to jail, the other shareholders would sell their shares one after another. It would then be difficult for Sir Drew to consolidate the shares, and at that time, Caleb would definitely buy the shares at a high price. Once his share ratio surpasses the Drew family, the Drew Corporation would fall completely into his hands.
Now, the only way to persuade Caleb to drop the lawsuit is to make Vivian apologize.
Sir Drew suddenly looked up, his eyes full of malicious intent as he stared at Vivian.
At that moment, Vivian was still calm, knowing that the old man had always doted on her and never wanted to say a heavy word to her since childhood. How could he possibly make her apologize to Caleb?
She didn’t care about Xaviera’s words at all, but when she looked up and suddenly saw the fierce look in Sir Drew’s eyes, she shuddered in fright, “Dad, you…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Sir Drew slammed his cane heavily, suppressing his anger, and said through gritted teeth, “Vivian, apologize to Caleb!”
His voice was full of anger and unwillingness, and a sense of humiliation pervaded his heart. With this tone, he told everyone that he was unwilling but had to bow down.
Suddenly, the phones of everyone in the Drew Corporation rang at the same time. A message appeared in front of them: it has been confirmed that Boyd Drew has been sued for suspected infringement, and has been complained by consumers for being unable to fulfill the presale promise. The relevant departments have begun investigations.
At this point, everyone began to panic. They knew that if they did not find a solution, and let the incident ferment, the Drew family would be completely ruined.
Vivian’s voice trembled, full of reluctance. “Dad, why should I apologize to him? He’s just…”.
Using the last bit of sanity, she stopped herself from saying ‘bastard’ and continued, “Dad! This is a trap set by Caleb, he intentionally dug a pit for the Drew family. I don’t want to bow my head for the Drew family’s sake, or else what face will we have left?”
Bang!
A high-level Drew executive couldn’t help smashing their wine glass, roaring, “Vivian! Just shut up! You’re causing trouble just because you’re the only daughter of the Drew family! If only you had a little bit of Miss Winni’s intelligence, you wouldn’t have stirred up the Drew family like this! You are a jinx, you’re going to ruin the Drew family and make us all go bankrupt with you!”
Madam Drew exploded at those words, “Nonsense! What are you talking about! Are you planning a rebellion?! Vivian is the daughter of the Drew family, how does her dealing with her own family’s affairs concern you all?”
Those present in the banquet hall were the veterans and high-ranking members of the Drew family. Many of them had dedicated their lives to the Drew family, sharing its life and death. But under Caleb’s pressure, they gradually lost their sanity.
“What right do you have to say that? You’re just an illiterate mistress! A wild goose can never become a phoenix; you and your daughter are both useless! You can’t even keep a man as a mistress! And you have to make things difficult for the biological son of Miss Drew. Are you mentally challenged?” @@novelbin@@
Xaviera listened to the man’s condemnation, her eyes curved, feeling very refreshing.
The people of the Drew family were not good people. Now that there was internal strife, their true colors were revealed. They usually appeared amiable, but now, for the sake of their interests, nobody was willing to give in.
What do you think?
