Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 201

Milana could barely believe what she was hearing. Sandy was really asking for half of Smith Corporation’s assets? Did she even understand how much money that was? And she just wanted half, just like that?

“Sandy, you’re about to get married. Your father and I have promised we’ll give you a generous wedding, but the company’s assets aren’t just ours to give away. There are shareholders, investors, and most importantly, the majority of the Smith family shares are with your grandmother. Your father and I can’t decide this on our own.”

Everything Milana said was true, but the real truth was she had zero intention of giving Sandy that much. Sandy was a girl, and once she got married, she’d be part of her husband’s family. The Smith family fortune was meant for Luke, always had been. Giving Sandy half? That was never going to happen.

She kept her face calm, but inside, she was furious with Sandy. How could her own daughter be so shamelessly greedy? They were just asking for a kidney, and this was her answer? Was she really putting a price on her brother’s life?

But Sandy wasn’t clueless. She knew exactly what was going through her mother’s mind. Her eyes filled with tears, her voice trembling. “Mom, losing a kidney means losing half my health. I’m still going to marry Soren, but if he finds out I’m not healthy, he’ll just look down on me even more.

“And what about his parents? What will they think? What if I can’t have kids in the future? If you give me half the company, even if the Lane family doesn’t like me, they’ll have to respect me for it. At least then, my life there won’t be so hard.

“If you don’t want to, you might as well just let me die. It’s not like you care about me anyway.”

With that, Sandy broke down, sobbing uncontrollably.

Milana clenched her teeth, barely holding back her anger. Why was everyone in this family so impossible? And with Sandy’s outrageous request, any guilt Milana felt just vanished.

“Sandy, what if your father and I say no?” Her voice was cold.
