Getting to his feet, Roland paced around the office proudly with his hands behind his back, which Selena couldn’t help but laugh at upon noticing. However, Roland didn’t seem to mind. “I’d spent a large sum renovating this office, mobilizing my connections to find many of the items. Take a look at this vase, and this table! Oh, and also the chair you’re sitting on! I will miss this chair the most if I lose it.”
With a nod, Selena instructed, “Linda, note down the items that Mr. Yard mentioned. We’ll have to pack and send them back to him later on, so be careful not to damage them.”
“Yes, President Yard.”
It wasn’t until then that Roland realized something was wrong. “What do you mean? Why do you want to send them back to my house?”
“Of course I’ll have to send your stuff away, seeing that the office will be mine from now on.”
“Then where will I work? I’m already used to working here, so you’ll have to get yourself another office.”
A smile tugged on Selena’s lips before she quipped, “I’m sorry, but there won’t be an office for you here. Didn’t you just sell the company to me? Since that’s the case, it’s bold of you to assume that you can still work here.”
“You—I... Didn’t you acquire the company for me and the Yard Family?” Roland gawked at her.
She got up and told Linda to put the contract away. “I bought this company for myself and JNS Corporation. From now on, this building will no longer be under Yard Group, but it will be a branch for JNS Corporation. Soon, I’ll be merging it with JNS Corporation.”
“Aren’t you a member of the Yard Family?”
Selena heard Roland say so when she turned around to leave. Stopping in her tracks to examine him, she declared, “While I can’t decide on my father or the family I was born into, I can at least pick out a name for my company.” As she spoke, she looked down and chuckled. “Of course, if there was a choice, I would much rather have nothing to do with you and the Yards.” With that, she marched out of the office.
“You—You b*stard! Are you abandoning your ancestry? How dare you change the company’s name?” Roland bellowed.
No longer able to withhold herself, Linda stared him down with a smirk on her face. “Mr. Yard, don’t you forget that while your ancestors were the ones who passed the company down to you, you were also the one who ruined it. If you had managed it properly, you wouldn’t have lost it in the first place, right?”
“You—”
“For that reason alone, I think President Yard has already done enough. Anybody else would find it a waste of time dealing with this mess of yours even if you give it to them for free. However, President Yard was kind enough to buy it off from you with a high price so that you wouldn’t go penniless. With that being said, I advise you to move out as soon as possible, or else I’ll be getting someone else to do that.” After that, Linda hurried to catch up with Selena. While Roland tried to go after them, he ended up stumbling over and landing on his face.
After acquiring Yard Group, Selena had achieved a major goal. If it wasn’t for Cecilia, the company would’ve already closed down twenty years ago. She was the company’s designer back then, so she also played a part in building the company up. Finally, Selena was able to acquire the company in honor of her mother.
As soon as she got back to JNS Corporation, she summoned for a meeting to discuss their next steps after acquiring Yard Group. By renaming it as Cecilia Corporation, the company no longer had any ties with Roland and the Yards.
After she settled everything, she picked up Juniper at the kindergarten. Upon arriving at home, she saw Pierre sitting on the sofa, whom she hadn’t seen ever since their attempt to have sex, which pissed her off.
