Ronald said, “Bryan must have already told you about Playzy’s vulnerabilities. As long as you remain with the Wilson family, as my daughter, the Wilson Group will step in and handle this trouble for you.”

Aubree remained unmoved, a faint, cynical smile even touching her lips. Three years ago, she had believed nothing in the world mattered more than these so–called family members before her.
Back then, in her old life, she had bent over backward for them, no matter how low she had to stoop, just craving their approval. But what she got in return was nothing but abuse to the point of death.
“I can manage my company just fine,” Aubree shot back. “As for ditching this so–called family? Ronald, you abandoned me first. Since you all despised me so much, wha’s wrong with me walking away from you?

Alice fell silent, her face darkening with rage and embarrassment. She suddenly remembered all the ways she had disciplined Aubree.
‘But even then, so what?‘ Alice thought defiantly. ‘As her mother, everything I did–even hitting and scolding–is for her own good. Carmen turns out just fine under my discipline.‘
Aubree tossed the documents at their feet, her gaze fixed on them. “Take my advice. Signing would be in your best interest. Trust me, it won’t be nearly as civil.”
Both escape routes were sealed. Ronald was trapped. He stared intently at the documents at his feet.

‘I can’t sign this,‘ he thought. ‘Aubree is now backed by the Turner family and has Bree Technology in her hands. How could I possibly sign?‘
Once the papers were signed, Aubree’s entire future, everything she had and would ever have, would be completely severed from the Wilson family.
Ronald took a deep breath and bent down to pick up the documents from the floor. His eyes gleamed with terrifying malice. After dominating the business world for decades, he never imagined he’d be tricked by his daughter.
‘Like a father, like a daughter?‘ Ronald thought bitterly.
“No,” Emery cried out in despair, mistakenly thinking Ronald was about to sign.

Aubree’s expression instantly turned icy. “I’m not some refuge for rejects. Even if you dropped dead right in front of me, it wouldn’t mean a damn thing to me. Don’t you dare try to emotionally blackmail me.”
