Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lately, all of Pei Ge’s attention was focused on her uncle’s family.

She only realized that Ji Ziming played a part in that family’s situation after gaining a deeper understanding of things.

Still, she was not bothered by it.

That was because she only needed her plan to succeed.

“Boss, the news has spread out. It’s certain that Pei Shishi will act soon to reveal the information she’s been holding onto.”

Wu Wei could not help shuddering at his superior’s aloof countenance as she sat in her office.

He finally understood how their CFO earned her moniker as the ‘Iron Queen’!

After all, the tactics she had employed against the Pei family’s real estate company was nothing short of terrifying...

With a few ploys here and there, she managed to have that father-daughter pair dancing in the palm of her hands.

Those two people were acting in the way she had planned...

Now, that father and daughter had completely fallen out and were at each other’s throats.

“Alright. Go inform all the staff in the finance department to do their best to acquire every Pei Family Real Estate’s share available!”

“Yes, boss!”

This assistant, who found his superior quite frightening, was suddenly full of vigor when he heard her order.

His fear all but vanished.

What was left in his eyes were only respect and worship for her.

He really did not expect that their company would one day have the chance to acquire a company considered to be among the giants in the real estate sector.

This was simply unbelievable!

If this company could truly acquire that corporation, it would rise through the ranks!

He left his boss, who was perusing through some files, alone in the office in perpetual excitement.

Those files were all related to Gemei Real Estate back then.

There were also materials concerning her uncle.

Looking at a picture of a young Pei Zhenghui, her eyes narrowed.

“...Uncle, from now on, I’ll let you experience the same pain my father went through, but rest assured that I won’t let you meet him so easily. I’ll let you... live through the pain!”

She gripped the papers tightly as a sneer surfaced on her lips, but it soon faded as confusion,together with a frown, appeared in place.

Even so, someone had assisted her uncle in killing her father... He had not been found by her even at present...

Who could that person be?

Why was it that, regardless of how much she investigated, she could not find out anything about the high-ranking staff of Gemei who had betrayed her father?

...

“Hey... You can’t just abandon me like this! Back then, you did all those things! My d*mn daughter has dirt on me. It seems she’s truly determined to hand it over to the media. I know that you are from a powerful background so I’m beginning you to keep this matter under wraps...”

In a dimly lit room, Pei Zhenghui, with a bristly unshaven chin, was haggardly sitting at his table with his phone in hand.

There was the occasional fear and the occasional madness on his face. It was obvious that he had been driven into a wall.

“Right! She might be my daughter, but you should know that we’ve fallen out, and there’s no more kinship between us! I beg you! I beg you! I wasn’t the only one responsible for that matter back then! You’re clearly behind it! You must help me; if you don’t, I’ll expose your hand in it!”

“Ha ha! Back then, if it weren’t for your instigation, why would I kill my biological brother? That’s my biological brother! If not for you... If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t end up in this dismal state today! Hel—hello? Hello?!”

Hearing the dial tone coming from the phone, he furiously slammed it against the table as ferociousness filled his face.

“B*st*rd! B*st*rd! You can’t just leave me after making use of me... You can’t just leave me!”

“H-How...”

The room was as dim as his heart, which had sunk into the abyss of hopelessness...

...

“Pei Zhenghui’s part in it can’t be stopped from getting exposed. I’m worried that he’ll involve us.”

“Don’t worry; such a disposable pawn in the chessboard doesn’t have that sort of capability. I’ve made all the necessary arrangements. You can just keep watching everything from the sidelines.”

“Yes, but it happened long ago. Why is it...”

“That’s because that person is back! Heh...”

“Will that affect...”

“It won’t. I won’t let it affect...”

...

Pei Ge was not concerned with the troubles her uncle was facing. She was only looking forward to him being sent to prison by his very own daughter.

Seeing that it was getting late, she packed her things in her bag and left the office.

As she stepped out of the building, it was not surprising for her to find Ji Ziming’s presence.

“Let’s head back together.”

She took a deep breath when she saw him open the car and gesture for her to get in it courteously.

She walked over and entered his car calmly.

Having learned her lessons from these past few days, she knew that her rejection would only bring about a crowd of onlookers.

Furthermore, she would ultimately still be forced to get in this man’s car.

Rather than doing that, she might as well... get in his car right from the very start.

Anyway, he was merely sending her home.

Cough! On that topic... this jerk clearly just wants to have a free meal at my place.

“Your kids were very obedient today; they really like me.”

Hearing him talk about her two children while driving, she could not help but think of Ji Chi.

“What about your son?”

Although this man knew very well that the boy was his son, while remaining unaware that the other children were his as well, he still...
