Wendy strutted in all high and mighty but slinked out with her tail between her legs. The secretary stood by the door, chuckling as she watched Wendy's confident departure.
Ms. Summers, you're something else!
Although she wasn't quite sure what had happened, it sure seemed like a whole lot of drama had unfolded! Most interestingly, Austin, who was badmouthing Ms. Summers just now, was on the brink of bankruptcy.
And who the heck was this Damon guy Ms. Summers kept talking about?

By the time Chloe returned to her office, Austin's company stocks had hit rock bottom. News quickly followed that the Harper Group had snapped up Austin's Hardware for a mere 5 million dollars. It took everyone by surprise.
How many people wished they could have shared in the spoils with the Harper Group? If they had known the Harper Group was gonna pull a move like this, they would have bought some stocks in advance. But it was too late for regrets now!
The Harper Group made their move without giving anyone a heads up!
Chloe smirked, turned off the news, leaned back in her chair, and looked out the window. Her smile gradually faded, replaced by a serious expression. After some contemplation, she got up, put on her jacket, and hurriedly left the office.
Meanwhile, Melinda called Makenna to confirm they had left the hotel and went straight home. Inside the luxurious villa, the living room was a complete mess as soon as she stepped in. Not one of the expensive items was left intact.
The living room was filled with relatives. Tiffany and Austin were kneeling on the floor, covered in dust and dirt. There were spots of blood splattered around, and the room was filled with angry shouts and cries.
When Makenna saw Melinda return, she called out to her loudly, and her sobs suddenly got louder.
"Melinda!"
Her piercing cry made Melinda's ears ring. And it also added fuel to the fire. Her eyes immediately locked on Tiffany, who was covered in dust. She was wearing a sheer purple nightgown that did nothing to cover her up but instead revealed some key areas, making her look even more provocative!
She gritted her teeth, rushed forward, and grabbed Tiffany by her hair, lifting her head up. Just as her raised hand was about to come down, she let out a scream, pushed Tiffany away, and stepped back herself.
She was filled with terror!
That face... She clutched her chest, staring at Tiffany's figure, her face filled with horror. The face was covered in bloody cuts, clearly made by something sharp.
She was disfigured!
She took a couple of deep breaths, then slowly calmed down, a satisfied smirk creeping onto her face. She rushed forward and kicked Tiffany hard. "Serves you right, you slut! You dared to seduce my dad, why don't you just drop dead!"
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She used to think of Tiffany as her little sister, helping her dress up, and giving her advice, only to have Tiffany use the charm she helped create to seduce her own father!
"Look at how you're dressed! You're a shameless whore!"
Melinda wished she could kill Tiffany right then and there! How could there be such a shameless person in the world? She kept kicking Tiffany again and again, each time harder than the last.
"Stop...please..."
Tiffany sobbed weakly. She had already been beaten to the point of dizziness. If they continued, she was afraid she would be beaten to death.
