Chapter 180 I sat in the top - floor conference room of our family's corporation , looking out at the sprawling cityscape stretching out beneath the clouds through the floor - to - ceiling windows . " Uncle ," I said calmly , " it's time to move on the Francis Group . " " He nodded without hesitation . " Sadie , you've truly lived up to our family name . Everything's in place . Our legal team is ready , and all the evidence is locked and loaded . Go ahead . Do what you need to do . " / Although I had just returned to the family , I didn't want to lean on too many of our resources immediately . What I needed now was to make Denton feel how small and powerless he truly was . The first step I took was to file two major lawsuits against the Francis Group under my personal title as the heiress of the Northern Star Trading Group . The first lawsuit was for illegal medical experimentation . I presented an airtight chain of evidence proving that Mick was forcibly subjected to blood extractions and ultimately had his heart removed . I also submitted hospital surveillance footage , confessions from the surgical staff , and official medical reports confirming Mick's heart was completely incompatible with Jewel's . This case directly accused Denton of abusing his authority , conducting illegal human experimentation , and possibly murder . The second lawsuit was for financial fraud . Using my tech expertise , I easily hacked into the Francis Group's internal financial systems . Like peeling an onion , I uncovered layer after layer of shady transactions they tried to hide . I found out how they used fake shell companies for money laundering , fabricated revenue numbers , and transferred assets unlawfully . The evidence I had was strong enough to publicly disgrace the entire Francis Group . Moreover , my legal team was the best in the world , fierce , experienced , and relentless , so there was no way they could slip through them . This wasn't about money . It was about making Denton and Melanie feel what it was like to be crushed slowly and painfully . " The moment the lawsuit's hit , the business world erupted . [ Did you hear ?! Northern Star Trading Group is officially going after the Francis Group ! ] [ This is brutal , like watching a lion tear apart a rabbit . They don't stand a chance ! ] [ Sadie really is the true heiress of the Middletons . What a move ! ] Denton never saw it coming . " He thought that even with my family backing me , I'd only make a little noise , throw a few punches that wouldn't land . But right now , he was too busy trying to hire PR teams to suppress his online scandal . He even tried to countersue me through his connections . But when court summons began pouring in , followed by Northern Star Trading Group's legal team launching an overwhelming offensive , his smugness turned to shock . " How ?! How did Sadie get all this evidence?! " He roared , completely losing control and trashing everything in his office in a fit of rage . } His phone also wouldn't stop ringing . But it wasn't business partners , it was shareholders . " Denton ! What the hell did you do ?! Our stock just crashed through the floor ! We've lost billions ! " " You better have an explanation , or we're calling an emergency board meeting to vote you out ! " " You're destroying the Francis Group ! " The boardroom turned into a battlefield . Those same board members who once treated him like a god were now circling like sharks , ready to devour him the second he slipped.N They didn't care about truth or justice ; they only cared about their own pockets.N And once Denton stopped making them money , or worse , started costing them , they didn't hesitate to throw him under the bus . As such , Francis Group's stock kept plummeting , teetering on the edge of being delisted . The once - glorious empire he built was collapsing in real time . The banks froze their loans , their partners pulled out , and their suppliers stopped delivering . Everything he once had , power , wealth , status , was slipping through his fingers faster than he could grasp it . And then he remembered the words I once told him that I wouldn't let him off the hook . Now , he finally understood I wasn't bluffing . And I felt no pity because this was just the beginning .
