When Marcus and I arrived at thepany, the livestream had just ended<b>, </b>and a crowd of shareholders and board members were surrounding River.
“Winston Group is lucky to have you. Without Mr. Reed, Winston Group would’ve vanished into history.”
“Ever since old Mr. Winston passed, thepany’s been on a downward spiral. Thank God Mr. Reed secured this bank loan, or we wouldn’t know what to do.”
“That’s why young Ms. Winston just isn’t cut out for this. All these years, she’s ignoredpany affairs, and the products she developed couldn’t sell for decent prices. Good thing she married well.”
Everyone chimed in while River stood at the center<b>, </b>barely able to hide his smugness.
I let out a cold snort.
“I had no idea Winston Group had changed its name to Reed Group.”
Only then did everyone notice me, all eyes turning in my direction.
I nodded at Marcus, and he understood, distributing the documents in his hands to all the shareholders present.
River had no clue what Marcus was handing out. Though clearly anxious inside, he had to put on a concerned front.
“Maya, aren’t you supposed to be in the hospital? What brings you to thepany at this hour?”
“What are you giving the shareholders? New product development ns? I…”
Before River could finish<i>, </i>I hurled the documents in my hands right at his face.
“You’re really something, River! I bust my ass staying up all night doing R&D, and you turn around and sell it to clients with dual contracts! Hundreds of employees pour their hearts into thispany, and you funnel all the profits into your own pocket!”
“And now the investment I worked so hard to secure from the bank has be your achievement!”
P
“River Reed, I don’t know if you’re too good an actor or I’m too stupid, but I never realized you were such a backstabbing
parasite!”
With every word I spoke, River’s face got whiter, but he still wouldn’t give up.
“M–Maya, there must be some misunderstanding. Even though you haven’t been at thepany these years, you knew about every business deal. How could what you’re saying have happened?”
“Did someone whisper something in your ear? Don’t listen to gossip. I’m your husband–don’t you trust me?”
A shareholder nearby snorted coldly and mmed the documents on the table.
“Mr. Reed, you’re quite the young talent with impressive methods! Without the evidence Ms. Winston brought, us old folks would still be in the dark!”
River frantically tried to exin, but I wasn’t giving him the chance. I raised my hand to stop him.
“Starting today, I, Maya Winston<b>, </b>will personally take over allpany operations. From this moment <b>on</b><b>, </b>River Reed is banned from setting foot in thispany!”
Even now, what I’m most grateful for is Dad’s decision before he passed. <fn2594> Chapters first released on Find~Novel</fn2594>
Before Dad died<b>, </b>he constantly reminded me that Winston Group was the Winston family’s foundation and that outsiders
could never be allowed to interfere.
So throughout my marriage to River, while I never let him want for anything materially, I never gave him a single share ofpany stock.
As Winston Group’s sole heir, all it
took was
e word from me to kick River out of thepany.
River looked utterly unwilling and
ied to approach me to exin.
Marcus stepped in front of me at the right moment and called security.
“If you have issues, take them up with the judge in court. What you’ve stolen over the years is enough to keep you locked up
for life!”
<b>??? </b>??????? ???
The moment Marcus finished speaking, several security guards rushed in and dragged River out.
Then it took another hour to calm the shareholders.
But when Marcus and I left thepany, we found River waiting outside.
The second he saw me, he rushed over.
I stopped in my tracks.
Perfect timing.
I pulled out the divorce papers Marcus had already printed for me.
“River, sign this.”
“You get nothing!”
