Chapter 21
The empty living room was left with only Lucian and Kassandra.
Lucian looked at his remarried wife, disappointment filling his eyes.
Before going abroad, he knew that he would be very busy, so he left his assistant and housekeeper, who had always been with him, to help him deal with domestic affairs.
No sooner had he been abroad for a month than his assistant and housekeeper came to join him.
Only after asking did I find out that Kassandra came into office with a lot of enthusiasm. She immediately fired the two of them and replaced them with her own people.
Later, he heard abroad that Kaleigh had been in two car accidents and had also abandoned her husband.
He only then realized that Kaleigh had been inadvertently spoiled by Kassandra.
The McCann family has always been ruthless and decisive, never allowing themselves to be hindered by emotions, always prioritizing the interests of the family.
Even if I suffered great emotional pain, I could quickly get over it on my own, instead of relying on a man’s help for five years.
Over the years, Gabriela has been acting tyrannically, bullying her classmates, while Kassandra only gave some money to send off those who were bullied, without ever saying a harsh word to Gabriela.
This also led to Victor being bullied by the siblings after he married into the family.
And Kassandra, the parent, didn’t care at all.
“I stayed in the country afterwards, and since you weren’t feeling well, you went to the villa for recuperation.”
One sentence sentenced Kassandra to death for the rest of her life.
She looked at the man in front of her with tears streaming down her face.
“Do you hate me so much?”
Lucian looked at his wife in front of him.
“If I truly hated you, the divorce agreement would have been placed in front of you on the day I returned to my country.”
After saying that, he didn’t look at Kassandra’s reaction and went straight to the study.

In the study, Kaleigh and Gabriela looked at their father in silence.
In the memories of the two sisters, their father was always abroad and rarely came back. They were closer to Kassandra.
The atmosphere in the study was once oppressive.
The hour hand of the wall clock turned around and around, and it was only then that Lucian spoke with a calm face.
“Gabriela, from now on you will stay in Greenmarsh. I will have someone keep your passport and other documents. You are not allowed to return to our country without my permission.”
“As for
you,
“Lucian looked up at his daughter, disappointment evident in his eyes, “instead of chasing after a man, why don’t you take a look at the company’s financial report?”
“From now on, the position of president will be given to the son of your second uncle first. You start from the grassroots level, and when you are capable enough, we can talk about the president’s position.”
“Both of your cards have been frozen. My assistant will give you a monthly allowance of ten thousand, and your shares will also be temporarily withdrawn. We’ll talk about it again when you both truly mature.”
Every time Lucian spoke, Gabriela’s face turned even paler. Kaleigh, who was standing beside her, remained silent but tightly clenched his hand by his side.
The replacement of the President of the McCann Group quickly swept through the entire industry.
Lizeth excitedly told Victor while helping him pack his luggage.
“You just came back less than a month ago, and now you’re going back to Glasston?”
Victor put the last folded piece of clothing into the suitcase.
“We had to go.”
Originally, he came back just to accompany his classmates in hosting an art exhibition, and he was supposed to leave after the exhibition was over.
The Holloway family had a lot of household chores, so the couple, Leonel and his wife, had to stay in the country first and then go abroad to meet him after the matters were dealt with.
And if he didn’t leave, he was destined to meet Kaleigh.
Now that he is no longer the president, he has more free time, and he simply doesn’t have the energy to continue entangling with him.
