Chapter 9: The Three Pieces of Paper
Chapter 9: The Three Pieces of Paper
Even though she faced a threat from the mother and the son, Melody Sullivan remained calm.Her expression never changed.
It didn't matter who she was up against.It seemed like she already expected their reactions.
Melody then pulled out other pieces of folded paper from her pocket just like the first one.
This time, this paper was for Elizabeth.
Seeing Melody hand it over, Elizabeth grabbed it from her to take a look.
She nearly fainted from her anger as she read it.
[Termination of Parent-Child Relationship]
This girl was really brutal! Melody looked at Elizabeth calmly.But Elizabeth's blood rushed to her face from her neck .She was losing her temper.
"You are my biological parents.If you want to disown me, then fine."
Melody explained, "I'll cooperate at any time.This is what Atty.Lewis gave to me, and as long as you sign it then everything will be settled."
After speaking to Elizabeth, Melody then turned to Charles.Her face was gentle, but her eyes were cold and gloomy.
It was a sweet, yet deathly combination to use to look at her own brother.
It made Charles's heart skip a beat.
He swallowed nervously before he spoke.
"Why, why are you looking at me like that?"
"This manor is originally under grandfather's name.If anyone should be leaving because of disowning, then it should be.."
Melody pointed her finger at him, "You!"
Melody's tone was calm, as if the matter had nothing to do with herself.She was more like an outsider as of the moment.
Charles was so scared that he almost cried while being held by Elizabeth.He couldn't bear to look at her.
Her eyes were too scary! Elizabeth was so angry that she felt as if her organs were about to explode.
She turned to Quince for help.
"Quince, look at this ingrate! She wants to take everything away from us!"
Quince only frowned, and then suspiciously eyed Melody.
Everything wasn't going as he planned.
It was like she expected their every move, and came up with plans to counter each and every action they mace.
She was just a country girl.
She had no brains and was most likely a dunce.
She definitely couldn't have planned all of this.
Could it be that she had experts helping her from behind the scenes? The Sullivans family property wasn't just tens of thousands of dollars, but a huge amount of billions!
"The Sullivan's company is your grandfather's legacy.You haven't been here for long, you hardly know anything about how important it is to us.His company must be in the hands of a true Sullivan! Don't you think that as his son, it's better for me to manage it? You are too young! You'll ruin it before you even get the chance to hold it in your hands.I won't allow it!" Quince said all of this without stopping.
"If you won't let it go, then I'll call for a press conference and let the media handle this dispute."
"There's no need."
Melody interrupted him.
Quince's eyes lit up, thinking that maybe he had reeled her in already.
Maybe she was afraid of compromise.
After all, she was still a young girl who had not seen much of the world.
Maybe she got frightened by the words press conference.
Who knew? "I have agreed to an invitation for the global economy, and accepted an exclusive interview" Melody said coolly.
"Global economy?"
The words echoed inside his head.
It was the world's top economic newspapers and magazines about the economic time report.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Not even Quince could get an interview from there, but this girl did? Quince stared at her in disbelief, and his entire body shook out of frustration.
"You are going to destroy the Sullivans!"
Melody only smiled in response, as cynical as it may be.
It showed a bit of dominance in her eyes.
"Don't worry.The company will not be destroyed in my hands."
She said, "If I don't raise the stock price by 30 percent, then I'll sign your contract,"
"How arrogant" Quince snickered to himself.
He had been the general manager of the Sullivan Company for ten years but he could only guarantee that it wouldn't fall behind.
But Eva, she actually wanted to raise it by 30 percent within 3 months? It was too ambitious for her to think that way! A yellow-mouthed child dared to believe his words! Melody had trapped herself into his hands, Quince was sure of it.
He wanted to see how she would cry and beg her own father to help her.
With a serious expression on his face, a cold look flashed across it as he stared at Melody.
"Alright.It's a deal, don't go back on your word then."
Melody took out one last piece of folded paper and threw it at her father.
"I never go back on my word!"
Then she left the room and leaves the people behind her.
Quince opened up the piece of paper and saw what was written on it.
"It's a promise."
