Mila’s eyes were red. Finally, she understood how much it hurt when Nadia slapped her with all her strength. She had initially thought that Kylie’s deafness was fake, but now she could feel her ears were constantly buzzing. However, she didn’t dare to sue Nadia as Kylie did. She didn’t have that courage and could only swallow her pride. But what she found most unacceptable was that Kylie was given 10% of the shares in Stafford Group.
Mila’s eyes revealed a hint of cruelty, but in front of Cohen and Nadia, she could only feign vulnerability. “Nadia, you misunderstand me. It’s not that I don’t care about your well- being. I just feel that Kylie is too ungrateful.”
“Shut up!” Nadia was furious, refusing to listen to Mila’s explanation. Whether Kylie was ungrateful or not, she knew better than anyone else. But the crucial point now was that she could not do anything to Kylie. She could only seethe with
anger.
Kylie looked indifferently at this family, a smile playing on her lips. When she was scolded and beaten by Nadia back in the day, Mila and Perla were also bystanders, observing with the same cold eyes as she was now, and sometimes even adding fuel to the fire. Fortunes would change.
Mila also saw Kylie’s expression, and the frustration in her heart made her face even more contorted. She wondered, ‘Kylie is mocking me now? Not just mocking me, but also seeking revenge Could it be that she knew that it was I, who encouraged Nadia to come to Galaxy Group to confront her and then gave her a slap? The karma came so soon. This slap already came back to me.
“Tomorrow, I’ll have the lawyer provide you with the contract for transferring the shares.” Cohen endured his anger.
“No need, I’ve prepared the contract. Dad just needs to sign,” said Kylie and she handed the prepared contract to Cohen. Cohen looked at the transfer contract, trembling with anger as he thought, ‘Kylie has truly played me to death! I am now basically delivering myself to be insulted. Taking the contract, he quickly glanced at it and said. “You go to the police station to withdraw the charges against your grandmother.”
“Sign it first,” Kylie insisted. Cohen wanted to say something, but Kylie continued before he started, “Dad doesn’t even have any right to negotiate with me. After all, whether I withdraw the charges or not, these shares are all mine. You willingly gave me the shares, and I’m giving you face by not making an issue with Grandma.” Gritting his teeth, Cohen signed his
own name.

“Stamp your fingerprint,” Kylie reminded. Cohen pressed the ink pad forcefully. Kylie
looked at the signed transfer document, smiling satisfactorily. “Dad, rest assured, I’ll go to the police station later.” Without wasting half a second, Cohen already embarrassed himself in front of Kylie. He turned and left.
“Oh, by the way,” Kylie stopped Cohen. “Perla might feel awkward and be reluctant to stay at Galaxy Group any longer. After all, where can you find a CEO blackening her own company? I can tolerate it, but other employees won’t be able to. If she doesn’t want to bring disgrace upon herself, Dad should inform Perla, and she can come to process her resignation procedures.”
Cohen’s face became even darker. In just a few months, Kylie completely drove them out of Galaxy Group, firmly seizing control of the company in her hands. Now, she had also taken away 10% of Stafford Group’s shares. The more he thought about it, the angrier Cohen became. He stormed out, slamming the door behind him. Nadia and Mila were furious too, but they could only leave dejectedly.
Kylie watched their retreating figures. Her gaze turned cold and pondered, ‘I am
determined to reclaim everything Mother had sacrificed for the Stafford family. The family does not deserve to possess all Mother had worked for!”
A week passed. Perla and Sergio were still being criticized on the internet. No matter how they tried to suppress the news, it would not go away. It was as if someone behind the scenes was pushing it on purpose. For a whole week, there was no other sensational news in the country. There were only Perla and Sergio’s news continued to trend, becoming more malicious with each passing day. Both companies‘ stock markets remained in a state of continuous limit–down since the opening bell. If this continued, both companies would be bankrupted by a scandal, an unprecedented situation.
In front of all the directors and senior executives of Moore Group, Jarrett scolded Sergio, “Sergio, you can’t even suppress a single piece of news? It’s been so long, do you want to drag Moore Group to its death?”
Sergio felt extremely upset. Initially, he thought the news would die down over time, but he did not expect it to still be on the hot search after so long. Someone must have tampered with it behind the scenes. He didn’t need to think too much to know who that person was. He thought to himself, ‘Kylie had truly won over Ethan. The woman who once would not even touch him is willing to hook up with Ethan! The more Sergio thought about it, the angrier he became. Through gritted teeth, he said, “I’ll take care of it today.”
“Sergio, you’d better not disappoint me again!” Jarrett left angrily after leaving these words. Others followed suit one after another, leaving only Sergio behind.

Sergio directly picked up the phone and dialed a number. “Salma.”

“What’s up, Sergio? I’m doing my makeup. I have a fashion event to attend tonight.” Salma sounded a bit impatient. For Salma, the fate of Moore Group was never within her
consideration. She only needed to be happy and carefree.
“Will Zola attend the fashion event you’re going to tonight?”
“Why are you asking about her?” Salma’s face turned cold right away upon hearing the name. In her eyes, Zola was her rival. Although they were not on the same level, she believed Zola relied on sleeping her way to the top. Salma also believed that if she was willing to use her body as an approach, she would have left Zola far behind long ago in the industry.
“Is she going or not?” Sergio’s face darkened, unwilling to waste words.
“She will, and she’s the final guest walking the red carpet!” Salma said displeasedly, “Sergio, you better stay with Perla and not get involved with Zola. She’s filthy!”
“Mind your own business.” Sergio directly hung up. Then he opened the album on his phone and looked at the photos he had taken that night of Zola and Ethan. He pondered, “The scandal of the reigning star, a title like this should be able to top the trending searches. for a while.”
At the event venue. Salma looked at herself in the mirror. She was impeccably dressed, appearing quite beautiful. She had heard that Leopold would also be attending. Originally, she did not want to participate in such events. After all, if she attended, everyone’s attention. would only be on Zola, and she did not want to bring humiliation upon herself. But for the sake of Leopold, she endured.
Suddenly, Salma stood up.
“Salma, there’s still some time before entering the venue,” reminded the manager, Jenny.
“I know,” Salma impatiently replied, “I’ll go outside for a walk. You don’t need to worry
about me.”
Jenny wanted to say something more but, considering Salma’s temper, she did not want to provoke trouble and chose to remain silent.
After leaving the makeup room, Salma walked in the corridor and then found Leopold’s resting room. Without knocking, she pushed the door open and entered. Upon entering, she happened to see Leopold changing his outfit. His upper body was bare, with well-
