"Yo, isn't this my grandpa and uncle? I haven't seen you for a long time. You are here to visit me, aren't
you? After all, my grandpa has no such good intention."
Emily said sarcastically, staring at Michael's pale face.
Since entering the room, Charlie had been in a submissive state. Emily had already known a little about
her uncle. He was not a bad guy, but had no judgment. He had always been led by Michael.
But she didn't look down upon him. Everyone had his own way of life. He was merely a timid man who
didn't kill people or get involved in a fight. It didn't have a big problem. It's okay as if he would never do
evil with Michael. What's more, Charlie had supported Emily before.
"How did you treat your grandpa? I'm your grandpa." Said Michael while beating his crutch with his
hand.
"You know what? The biggest joke I've ever heard in the world! Grandpa, do you know who I am?
Seven years ago when I was involved in the rumor, I lost my grandpa. When I was suffering from the
pain I was living in another country, I lost my grandpa. I was losing everything that belonged to me, and
I was driven out of the Xia clan. I lost everything including the grandpa. I just became the president's
wife of the World International. Then why is there is a grandpa for me? "
Every word said by Emily was echoing in Michael's heart. Standing behind her, Charlie felt sad. When
he heard that, he couldn't help but think, 'This is my nephew. What we did to her years ago! I couldn't
believe that.'.
"I was blinded by the past and didn't see the reality clearly. Now I give you a chance to go back to the
Xia clan." Charlie said, still shamelessly.
"Oh, I see. Tell me about it."
Emily was fiddling with her fingernails, gently brushing them. Anyone who knew her would know that
she was in a bad mood, but Michael apparently didn't. hearing that, he still felt a little proud.
"The Xia clan is in danger. You can ask the World International to do us a favor and then I will let you
go back to the Xia clan." As a matter of fact, Mike laughed coldly when he heard what Michael said. In
contrast, Vincent smiled gently and elegantly, but it was a pity that there was no temperature in his
smile.
"Oh, that's all. I don't know how difficult it is. But do you think I am so forget the past easily, my grandpa
and the president of Xia Company?" The instant change in Emily's facial expression made Michael
have a bad feeling.
"I have told you that I am cheated by Star. It is just a shadow formed by her. I have already asked
someone to call her over. If you have any anger, you can go up to her directly."
Michael quickly waved to the people outside, and someone sent Star in. Her hands were already tied
behind her back, and her face was pale. It was only a few months away from the original auction. Only
a few months later, the happiness and sweetness that was overflowing in this woman's face had
already disappeared, leaving only empty and pale.
Of course, Emily didn't deny what she had done, but mostly because the woman in front of her had
completely changed her mind.
"Father, what are you doing? How can you kidnap Star?" It was rare for Charlie to talk so loud and
quickly go to the side of Star, and loosen up the ropes on her.
"What did this bastard do to me? She lied to me by sweet words. I brought her here to atone for her
sins. It's all her fault. I knew she was born to be a bitch."
"Father..." Charlie's sudden raised voice surprised Michael.
"So what? You want to rebel?" Michael hit the ground hard with his walking stick, making a crisp sound,
as if he wanted to smash the ground. For the first time, Charlie turned a deaf ear to Michael's anger. He
just looked at Star's red and swollen wrist which was tied just now and comforted her.
"Does it hurt?"
Charlie saw Star's pale lips trembling up and down, but she didn't say anything. He could only sigh
helplessly.
The people around really disliked Michael. They were so afraid that the air would be dirty so they just
wanted to kick him out. They wondered what kind of elder could have such a power to waste the
family's affection. It was such a waste of air for him to live in this world.
Emily didn't want to waste time with him anymore. Every word he had said to her would disgust her.
"There are two choices. One, hand over the Xia Company, and I will give you a lot of money to support
your retirement. The other, keep the Xia Company running well. The Xia clan will go broke three days
later, you make a choice."
Emily's cold words sounded undoubted. Struck his walking stick again, Michael said, "Bastard, Xia
Company is the fruit of your father's painstaking efforts, do you have the heart to watch it go bankrupt?"
"Ha ha, you know that my father put all his heart and soul in it. You have been monopolizing it for so
long. Is it time for you to hand it out? It seems that you have chosen the first one."
"No way." Without the Xia Company, Michael would have nothing, and everyone was clear about that.
"Our second choice is, Mr. Michael, you can go back to wait for the Xia Company's bankruptcy. It's
easy for the World International to overthrow a company in this city, especially an inferior company. At
that time, I promise you, Mr. Michael, you will not have any money and you will pay your debt for what
you can't repay all your life."
"You bastard, don't think that you can do whatever you want as the wife of the CEO of the World
International. How long do you think you can keep a foothold in the upper class? Your honor will be
only for a short time."
"Ha ha, you mean that the Xia clan can be my guarantee." Said Emily with a smile.
"If the Xia clan can survive, you can rely on the Xia Company. Even if you are deserted, the Xia clan
can still provide you a place to live."
"Haha... That's the biggest joke I've heard. Seven years ago, when I was being scolded, even my so-
called grandfather didn't help me. Do you think I'll believe that you'll help me after seven years?
President Michael, the drama is so clumsy that I can't stand it. "
"You..." Michael exclaimed as he was about to throw his crutch again.
"Mr. Michael, I have to remind you that the carpet on this floor is imported from abroad. If it is broken, I
am afraid that the Xia clan can't afford it."
Brian looked up and adds such a sentence appropriately. Then he slowly lowered his head, ignoring
Michael.
Michael was more angry. However, he had to put down his crutch carefully.
Seeing that, Emily could not help but feel amused, thinking of what Brian had said to him just now.
Brian's words sounded very powerful. He thought that Brian really deserved to be the president of the
World International. As soon as he uttered these words, he looked like an unusual man.
"Mr. Michael, are you worried that I might be abandoned by Mr. Brian? You don't have to worry about
me anymore. Do you know who owns more shares of the World International?"
Something came to Michael's mind. His face was full of amazement, and so was Charlie.
"It seems that Mr. Michael is old and has a unclear mind. Now half of the shares of the World
International is in the hands of Charles, oh, that is to say, my son. Of course, I own the shares. Mr.
Michael has been in the business for so many years, so you know clearly what these shares mean. It
means that no matter how much money I spend, or I'm not willing to do anything, I can earn extra
money every year, unless Charles doesn't want me, his mother. But do you think it's possible? Besides,
the shares I signed are so irretrievable terms. Now president Michael, do you still think I need the Xia
clan? "
Both Vincent and Mike were not surprised by her words, as if it was a matter of course.
Michael's body shook abruptly.
"I say it again. If you give up the Xia clan now, you can get a sum of money. Or you will get nothing.
You can make a choice."
"You bastard! You treated your grandpa like this and you will pay for it!"
"Humph! You're the one who got the retribution first. My grandma and parents should have been
waiting for you, waiting to tear your ghost apart."
Michael who was pretending to be brave fell down on the floor abruptly. Now he looked a little
awkward. Emily thought that it was just a mutual wish. Moreover, she would never have any sympathy
on a person like him.
"No, I was wrong. Grandmother and my parents should be in heaven. How can you see someone like
them? You should end up in hell, which is to atone for your sin in the hell karma fire."
Michael fell on the ground, without any arrogance as before.
"Father..." At last, Charlie couldn't bear to see that. He went up to Michael and helped him to stand up.
But he was pushed away by Michael. "How incompetent you are!" he said. Then he stood up by himself
and stumbled out.
Charlie was a little worried. He asked other people to follow him and watched him.
"Emily, we will pick the first one. I'll go back and ask my father to sign all the documents. From now on,
the Xia Company has nothing to do with us." Charlie said frankly.
Emily nodded.
"I'm sorry. I don't care whether it's meaningful or not. I owe you." It was rare for Charlie to say
something like that with such a calm look.
But Emily remained silent.
Charlie looked at Star and said, "Emily, Star is my daughter. I am not a good father, and I don't teach
Star well. If there is any fault, just count it on me." Charlie said with a hint of petition.
And this pray made Star stunned at his words.
Emily still did not speak. Charlie just sighed, no matter what she wanted to do, he would accept it.
Because he was worried about Michael, he was eager to leave with Star.
