Then, she slapped me across the face and
started screaming at me. “Ginger, we took you
in and raised you, and you try to steal our
family’s wealth and drive away our real
daughter? How can you be so cruel?”
My adoptive father glared at me. “Ginger, the
company belongs to our family. Giving it to our

real daughter is only right! What right do you
have to kick her out?”
I couldn’t believe it. They conveniently forgot that my adoptive grandfather took me in, and after he died, he handed the company over to
- me.

Back then, it was on the verge of bankruptcy,
drowning in debt. I begged and borrowed,
working my ass off to save it. I even developed
all sorts of health problems along the way.
My adoptive parents knew they couldn’t
manage the company, so they didn’t lift a
finger. They left it all to me while I gave them
$50 million every month to live it up.
And I bought back most of the company shares
myself! The only reason I didn’t rename it was
out of respect for my adoptive grandfather’s
kindness. How dare they try to take it back?
I scoffed at my adoptive father. “Three years
ago, when the company went bankrupt, you.
threw me to those ruthless debt collectors,
telling them I was the boss and they should
come to me for their money. Now that the
company’s about to go public, you want to
hand it over to your daughter? What kind of
face do you have to say something like that?”
My adoptive father’s face turned red, and he
raised his fist to hit me. “You little bitch! Our
family raised you! It’s your job to run the
company for us! It should belong to my
daughter! You’re just working for her!”
I grabbed his arm and twisted it behind his
back, making him scream.
I’d spent three years learning taekwondo for
this exact kind of situation.
My adoptive father, who only knew how to eat,
drink, and be merry, was no match for me.

My adoptive mother charged at me, ready to
slap me again.
I blocked her and shoved her to the ground.
She pointed at me, trembling with rage. “Ginger, you ungrateful wretch! You dare lay a hand on us? You have no conscience!”

Nannan helped my adoptive parents up and
knelt in front of me. “Ginger, it’s all my fault. I
shouldn’t have come back and disrupted your
family. Please, don’t hit Mom and Dad anymore.
I’ll leave right away and never show my face
again.”
My adoptive parents immediately hugged
Nannan and glared at me. “Ginger, you’re the
one who should get out of here.”
I rolled my eyes and looked at Nannan. “Fine, I
won’t disturb your family reunion. I’ll have my
lawyer draft a separation agreement.”

Without waiting for their reaction, I turned and
left.
Three days later, I was in a company meeting when my assistant rushed in. “Ms. Ginger, Mr. and Mrs. Jones are downstairs with your sister,
making a scene and demanding to see you.”
I frowned and went downstairs.
My adoptive father questioned me as soon as
he saw me. “Ginger, this is our family’s
company. Why aren’t you letting us in?”
I laughed. “If you’d bothered to visit the
company more often, the security guards
wouldn’t have stopped you.”
My adoptive mother walked up to me and said,
“Ginger, seeing that you’ve worked so hard for
the company all these years, you can continue
to work here. But Nannan should be the CEO.”

My adoptive father pushed me aside, pulled
Nannan forward, and pushed her to the center.
“From today on, my real daughter will take over
the company. Ginger, assist her in managing it.”
Nannan walked up to me. “Thank you for your hard work, Ginger. I’ll run the company with you
from now on.”
I sneered. “You… what makes you think you can
be the boss of the company just because you
want to be? According to the rules, the CEO
must have absolute controlling shares.”
My adoptive parents immediately started
shouting. “We raised you, and you want to seize
our family’s assets and bully our daughter? How
can someone like you be the boss?”
My fiancé, Jackson, came out as well. “Ginger,
the family has been good to you. You can’t be
so selfish. Return the company to Nannan, and
after we get married, you can stay home and

take care of the family. I’ll support you.”
I curled my lips. “Jackson, you’re engaged to
the Jones family’s daughter. Now that Nannan
is back, she’s your fiancée. You and I have
nothing to do with each other. Who do you
think you are, ordering me around? You’re not
good enough!”
