Chapter 7 Camilas arrogant demeanor vanished instantly , her face turning ghost white as she stared at the numbers on the phone screen . Four hundred million ? Are you insane ? Thats impossible ! she screeched like a cat whose tail had been stepped on . I fixed her with an icy stare . The books dont lie . Look at them yourself . Scrolling through the screen , I listed each item methodically . Smart fleet control systems , 3D spatial positioning algorithms , anti interference communication modules … Every single one of these patents came from my sweat and blood . And Oliver ? All that high end R & D equipment , those overseas trips were my tech that paid for everything . You even diverted company R & D funds to build him that so called innovation lab . What innovation ? He cant even produce one decent project ! With every word I uttered , Camilas face grew whiter . By the end , she seemed to have been drained of all her energy , unable to utter a single word . I fixed her with an icy stare , my eyes sharp as daggers . Cat got your tongue ? Feeling guilty now ? Shouldve thought about this day coming . Camilas mouth opened and closed , but no defense came . The numbers didnt lie . She had no room for argument . * 1 … well … She stumbled over her words , unable to form a complete sentence . Whats wrong ? Cant come up with the cash ? I sneered , exposing her embarrassment without mercy . No surprise there . You dumped all the companys money into Oliver , betting everything on the Oldom project making you rich overnight , didnt you ? But unfortunately … I dragged out the words , my voice dripping with contempt . That day will never come . The accident compensation will cost at least ten billion dollars . Even bankruptcy wont cover it .

Camila ground her teeth in a fury , but she was powerless . Done with the conversation , I cut to the chase . You have three days to buy out my shares at market value . Otherwise , Im taking this to court . After a long pause , Camila finally spoke through gritted teeth . I … I dont have that much cash right now . Could you give me more time ? CUICI JL . TIUN Un you plan to Id anticipated her response . Pointing at the company building , I sneered , Then put up the Winthrop Group shares as collateral . Camilas eyes widened in disbelief . You … youre trying to take over our family business ! This building alone is worth over a billion ! I shrugged dismissively . Take it or leave it . If I dont see the money in my account within three days , expect a court summons . Without another word , I headed for the elevator . Behind me , Camilas hysterical scream echoed . Rylan ! Youll regret this ! It isnt over ! Her voice dripped with venom , teeth clenched in rage . An entire day passed without a word from Camila . Something felt off . With her vengeful nature , I knew she wouldnt let this go so quickly . Sure enough , that evening , while walking down the street . I noticed peoples stares had changed . They whispered and pointed at me . Someone even deliberately bumped my shoulder , cursing as they walked away . I smirked inwardly . Of course , Camila and Oliver wouldnt back down . When I checked my phone at home , there I was , trending in the headlines .
