The Reynolds family’s company was barely hanging on. After retuming to San Francisco, I quietly investigated the company’s internal operations.
To my surprise, the business was slowly recovering. I couldn’t help but wonder–did Winston actually have the ability to bring it back from the brink?
But if such a turnaround required a huge influx of capital, where could he possibly have gotten the money?
“You think Winston’s money came from something shady?” Denver frowned.
I nodded slowly. “It doesn’t make sense. If he really secured an investor, what kind of person would dump so much money into a sinking ship without blinking?
I fell into silence. Taking back the company I’d built from scratch was proving far more difficult than I imagined.
Still, as a shareholder, I couldn’t suppress the urge–I paid a visit to the office.
Winston and my father were in a meeting when I arrived unannounced, and my father’s expression instantly darkened.
“What wind blew you in here? This temple is too small for a god like you–please leave.”
“Uncle Leandro is upset, Winston said, trying to smooth things over. “Don’t mind him. What brings you here today?”
He even looked a little pleased, offering me tea with a trace of eagemess in his eyes.

“In your dreams! If that’s what you came for this conversation is over. Get out!“?
My father’s face flushed red with rage, and he clutched his chest in pain, eyes squeezed shut
Panicked, Winston rushed to his side, pulling quick–acting heart pills from his pocket and helping him take them.
Then he turned to me, his tone was filled with blame.
“Why do you insist on tearing this family apart? Haven’t you vented your anger enough? Yes. I wronged you, but I’ll pay back every cent❘ took. I’ll compensate you–can’t you just let it go?“B
I stared coldly at him.
“Did you think about how I felt when y
you betrayed me with Kiara? When you stole
my company? You’ve always been selfish, Winston.“”
“I want the company. And I want my mother’s necklace back. If you don’t comply–don’t blame me for what happens next“:

“Sis…” Kiara tried a softer tone, “for the sake of our sisterhood, can you let this go? We really can’t get the necklace back. money in the future, I’ll pay you back, okay?”
“Bianca… can’t you give us a little more time? We’re really struggling right now. For the sake of everything we once had, do you have to go this far?”
