Chapter 180
I sat in the top–floor conference room of our family’s corporation, looking out at the sprawling cityscape stretching out beneath the clouds through the floor–to–ceiling windows.
“Uncle,” I said calmly, “it’s time to move on the Francis Group.“”
He nodded without hesitation. “Sadie, you’ve truly lived up to our family name. Everything’s in place. Our legal team is ready, and all the evidence is locked and loaded. Go ahead. Do what you need to do.“/
Although I had just returned to the family, I didn’t want to lean on too many of our resources immediately. What I needed now was to make Denton feel how small and powerless he truly was.
The first step I took was to file two major lawsuits against the Francis Group under my personal title as the heiress of the Northern Star Trading Group.
The first lawsuit was for illegal medical experimentation. I presented an airtight chain of evidence proving that Mick was forcibly subjected to blood extractions and ultimately had his heart removed. I also submitted hospital surveillance footage, confessions from the surgical staff, and official medical reports confirming Mick’s heart was completely incompatible with Jewel’s.
This case directly accused Denton of abusing his authority, conducting illegal human experimentation, and possibly murder. The second lawsuit was for financial fraud. Using my tech expertise, I easily hacked into the Francis Group’s internal financial systems. Like peeling an onion, I uncovered layer after layer of shady transactions they tried to hide.
I found out how they used fake shell companies for money laundering, fabricated revenue numbers, and transferred assets unlawfully. The evidence I had was strong enough to publicly disgrace the entire Francis Group.
Moreover, my legal team was the best in the world, fierce, experienced, and relentless, so there was no way they could slip through them.
This wasn’t about money. It was about making Denton and Melanie feel what it was like to be crushed slowly and painfully.” The moment the lawsuit’s hit, the business world erupted.
[Did you hear?! Northern Star Trading Group is officially going after the Francis Group!]
[This is brutal, like watching a lion tear apart a rabbit. They don’t stand a chance!]
[Sadie really is the true heiress of the Middletons. What a move!]
Denton never saw it coming.”
He thought that even with my family backing me, I’d only make a little noise, throw a few punches that wouldn’t land. But right now, he was too busy trying to hire PR teams to suppress his online scandal. He even tried to countersue me through his
connections.
But when court summons began pouring in, followed by Northern Star Trading Group’s legal team launching an overwhelming offensive, his smugness turned to shock.
“How?! How did Sadie get all this evidence?!” He roared, completely losing control and trashing everything in his office in a fit of rage.}
His phone also wouldn’t stop ringing. But it wasn’t business partners, it was shareholders.
“Denton! What the hell did you do?! Our stock just crashed through the floor! We’ve lost billions!”
“You better have an explanation, or we’re calling an emergency board meeting to vote you out!”
“You’re destroying the Francis Group!”
The boardroom turned into a battlefield. Those same board members who once treated him like a god were now circling like sharks, ready to devour him the second he slipped.N
They didn’t care about truth or justice; they only cared about their own pockets.N
And once Denton stopped making them money, or worse, started costing them, they didn’t hesitate to throw him under the
bus.
As such, Francis Group’s stock kept plummeting, teetering on the edge of being delisted. The once–glorious empire he built was collapsing in real time.
The banks froze their loans, their partners pulled out, and their suppliers stopped delivering.
Everything he once had, power, wealth, status, was slipping through his fingers faster than he could grasp it.
And then he remembered the words I once told him that I wouldn’t let him off the hook.
Now, he finally understood I wasn’t bluffing.
And I felt no pity because this was just the beginning.
