Chapter 709
Everyone turned and saw Aria slowly walking over. Elena shot her a deadly glare. “Aria! You ungrateful backstabber! Cole Group was built by the Cole family. How dare you just take it like that? I swear, I’ll kill you, you bitch.”
She lunged at Aria, but before she could even reach her, security guards rushed in and pinned her down hard.
Liam came running. As soon as he saw what was happening, he shoved the guards aside and helped Elena up. “Aria, no matter what, my mom was once your mother-in-law. Did you really have to go this far?”
Aria gave a cold chuckle. “If I remember right, you’re still holding onto some shares. If this ever happens again, I’ll take those
too.”
Liam’s face went stiff. He quickly grabbed his mom and sister. “Who told you two it was a good idea to cause a scene?”
As soon as they got outside, Liam exploded. “Are you out of your minds? Wasn’t that humiliating enough? Look at you! Do you still think you’re some kind of socialite and debutante?”
Elena tried to argue, but Liam cut her off. “If you two keep acting like this, I’ll lose whatever shares I’ve got left, and we’ll be out on the streets with nothing!”
Elena and Ophelia didn’t know the first thing about making money. Everything rested on Liam’s shoulders, and yet they still
caused drama like this.
He was furious and stormed off. As they watched him walk away without even looking back, Elena and Ophelia finally realized they had lost everything. And now, they were completely dependent on Aria.
Ophelia started crying. “Mom, what do we do now?”
Elena looked dazed. “What can we do?”
She had thought the board and employees were still loyal to the Cole family. But clearly, everyone had taken Aria’s side. If Aria wanted to ruin them, she could do it in a heartbeat.
And if they kept pushing her, even surviving would be a challenge. Elena gritted her teeth. “Let’s just go home.” Meanwhile, Aria looked away.
Taking the rest of Liam’s shares wouldn’t be hard. She had ways, forceful ones if necessary. But honestly, it wasn’t worth the effort. If they had lost everything, they’d keep coming back to cause problems.
Even if she had them arrested, they’d be out again sooner or later. Those shares meant nothing to her. But keeping them hanging was a useful way to keep them in check.
Aria turned to the front desk. “Everyone who witnessed this gets a paid week off, one month’s salary as compensation, and double the usual bonus this month.” The staff burst into cheers.
People already knew Cole Group had been renamed Phosphor Group. But finding out that Aria now owned the whole thing was a shocker, especially since she was Liam’s ex-wife.
[Wow, Aria ended up owning Cole Group!]
[He left his wife for a mistress who landed in jail, and now he’s lost everything. If I were Liam, I’d just drop dead from the shame.]
[Tell me I’m not the only one who thinks this is super satisfying. He cheats, she takes the whole company. Legendary.]
