"Please take a look at these documents, Mr. Wynn. If everything is in order, I'll need your signature." Lawyer Halloway slid the file across the table.
Patrick's hands trembled as he took the folder and flipped it open.
He stared at the itemized list of liquidations and the current breakdown of the Wynn Group's shares...
Every single line was a devastating blow, enough to crush him completely.
His hands shook violently.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a specific name on one of the entries. All the color drained from his face.
Titancrest Group?
NovaForge Capital?
Why were the names of those two corporate giants on this document?
Patrick's pupils dilated in shock. His gaze snapped back to Serena.
He swallowed hard, a lump forming in his throat, and forced his eyes back to the page.
There, under the legal representative and primary shareholder columns for both Titancrest Group and NovaForge Capital...
It clearly stated one name-Serena!
The room spun wildly around him.
Titancrest Group and NovaForge Capital... belonged to Serena!
Those two juggernauts, capable of sending shockwaves through Vaelion City's business arena with a single move...
The boss was Serena?!
Patrick was so profoundly stunned that he couldn't even formulate a coherent doubt. It defied all logic.
Over the past few days, the endless shocks had left him completely numb.
First she was Queen, and now she was the owner of Titancrest Group and NovaForge Capital.
How... how old was she?
Whether it was the Queen Group, Titancrest, or NovaForge...
They had all been dominating their respective industries with stellar track records for years.
How old was Serena back when they were founded?
She wouldn't have even been an adult!
Just what kind of terrifyingly powerful existence was she, to have achieved so much...
At such a young age?!
Patrick sat frozen, his mind completely short-circuiting under the weight of the revelation.
He couldn't bear to think about the absolute treasure of a daughter he had thrown away.
"Of course, Mr. Wynn, we are merely here to inform you. You have no options in this matter," Lawyer
Halloway said with a polite smilet
delivering the sharpest of blows in the gentlest tone. "Effective
immediately, the Wynn Group will be fully taken over by Ms. Serena. Once your compensation is negotiated, you will no longer hold any shares in the company."
Patrick clutched his chest, his vision going dark.
Unable to withstand the crushing blow, he collapsed right alongside Marianne, both of them passing out cold.
Serena looked down at the Wynn couple lying on the floor. Her expression was utterly placid, devoid of a single ripple of emotion.
Benedict crouched beside his parents, staring up at Serena with a heavily conflicted expression.
"Serena, you bitch! You actually stole
our family's fortune! They're still your parents, and you drove them into passing out! Logan threw himself beside their parents, shaking them in vain before lashing out in impotent rage.
Serena didn't spare them a second glance. She simply turned to Lawyer Halloway.
"I'll leave the rest of this to you."
She turned her back on them, thoroughly severing her ties with everything regarding the Wynn family.
To her, this entire family was nothing but strangers now.
She walked away without a shred of hesitation or nostalgia.
Back at the Lancaster family estate.
Pet
Isabella, who was sitting in the living room, immediately stood up. She still looked a bit pale, but she was impeccably dressed Serena where did you go? You didn't even tell anyone. I thought... I thought you didn't want to visit Grandpa and Grandma."
She feigned a look of relief. "Thank goodness you're back, or I really wouldn't know how to explain this to them."
Serena leveled a cold, impassive gaze at her. "What? Did the plane already leave?" Isabella's mouth parted slightly. "Well, no."
Serena replied, "Then what the hell are you whining about?"
Isabella froze, biting her lower lip as if she had been terribly bullied. "I-I just wanted
to let you know..... Mom was looking for you and couldn't find you. I thought you just didn't want to go see Grandpa and Grandma..."
