Chapter 97
Jerry's conversation with Angie over the phone reached Bruno and Suzette because
Angie's speakerphone was on. Bruno's face instantly softened as he saw hope on the
horizon for Grant Corporation.
They gathered around Angie as soon as she hung up the phone.
"Oh, my darling daughter, you are so capable! This time, our family will rely on you!"
Bruno was overjoyed. As he stood in front of Angie, he no longer saw her as a bitch, but as
his precious baby!
Angie was very proud of herself at the time, and she couldn't help but look down on her
own father's groveling expression. If it weren't for her lack of experience due to her youth,
she would prefer not to be associated with a guy like Bruno, who was only interested in
pleasing the rich and powerful.
Angie finally spoke with pride after being flattered for a while. "The Grant family's future
success depends entirely on me, Dad, as you have seen. Jerry invested after I told him to.
If I do not wish..."
"How can you not want it? You wretched girl! Will you be happy only after our family has
been destroyed?" When he heard that, Bruno exploded in rage and interrupted her before
she could finish her sentence.
As soon as those words were spoken, it became clear that his current good temper was a
ruse.
If Angie really refused to convince Jerry to invest in the Grant family, Bruno would
probably beat her to death!
That was something that Angie had long realized.
She had been disheartened for a long time!
Angie was unconcerned by what he said and continued to finish her sentence. "If I do not
want Jerry to invest, he will not invest. This is a fact. So, Dad, if you want the investment
money, you can't expect me to help you for free."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"What do you mean? So you dare to talk back now, huh? You want to talk terms with me,
right?" Bruno was filled with rage as he watched Angie behave like a despicable person
who had just become wealthy.
He didn't dare to do anything to Angie right now, so he had no choice but to hold back.
"That's correct. Dad, if you want my assistance, you must give me fifteen percent of the
Grant Corporation's stock. Otherwise, I'll be on my own with Jerry. That way, I'll never have
to go hungry!"
"Fifteen percent of the stock? You must be dreaming, Angie Grant. What are you thinking?
That is not possible!" Bruno jumped out of his seat in a fit of rage. He would have slapped
Angie in the face if Suzette hadn't intervened.
Angie repeatedly moved backward because she was so terrified. The memory of being
beaten up caused her to protect herself reflexively.
"I have something to say to you, Bruno. Angie is already an adult. You can't just beat her
up whenever you want!"
"She's an ingrate. I'm not allowed to beat her up? Take note of what she just said. I'm not
dead yet, and she's already after my assets? She's a shameless bitch! You are to blame for
the Grant family's destruction!"
Bruno was so enraged that he began speaking without careful diction.
"Hmph! I'm a bitch. Then don't use this bitch to get some investment capital. If Dad
disagrees, then forget about it. Besides, I'm enjoying my life with Jerry right now. As for
whether Jerry acknowledges you as his father-in-law, nobody knows! Angie boldly argued
her way back after noticing Suzette was restraining Bruno.
She had recently realized that, whether it was her own father or those men who only
wanted to sleep with her, none of them would always treat her well. The only way she
could ensure a good life and not be trampled on would be to have an ace up her sleeve.
Otherwise, she would never be able to reclaim her life!
Bruno was temporarily rendered speechless by Angie's determination.
Although he despised Angie's ungrateful actions, he did not want to lose Jerry, who was
currently his biggest supporter.
The one-month deadline was approaching quickly. The Grant family would be finished if
the Shallow Bay development project did not begin soon.
"Bruno, all we have now is Angie to turn our lives around. From what I can tell, there's no
harm in giving Angie some stock now. After all, Angie is the only way we can get our
investment funds right now!"
Suzette took advantage of the fact that Bruno had calmed down to lobby, and at the same
time, she gave Angie a wink.
Immediately understanding, Angie stood up and spoke gently, "I'm not to blame for
thinking about myself, Dad. I'm traumatized as a result of your beating. If I don't have
some money on hand, I won't be able to afford even a meal if you decide to kick me out
one day. Therefore, kindly think of me!"
Bruno's rage subsided a little when he realized Angie had given him a way out of an awful
situation.
"I promise you that I will give you ten percent of the stock if you can secure a hundred-
million-dollar investment. Don't bother thinking about it if you can't get it!" Bruno
proposed some negotiating terms.
Angie knew he would not agree to her terms quickly, but ten percent was not a small sum,
so she "reluctantly" agreed.
She then cheerfully went upstairs to get dressed and ready to go out.
Bruno was still considering going back on his words after the investment funds were
credited and completely denying Angie. He had no idea Angie would show up with a share
transfer agreement after she had finished getting dressed.
She stared at him as she made him sign the agreement.
When Bruno signed the agreement, he felt humiliated and distraught. He had no choice
but to sign it, though.
"Thank you, Dad. I will certainly help our family in obtaining the investment fund!" Angie
happily tucked the contract away and walked out in high heels.

"Bitch!"
…
Madeline slept for a long time. Surprisingly, she slept soundly. She slept through the night
trouble-free and experienced no nightmares. She even had a wonderful dream. She had a
dream that the three of them were a happy family living happily together.
She was a little reluctant to open her eyes when she awoke.
That was until she realized the man from her dream was right before her eyes…
Madeline had the impression that she was still dreaming.
"Are you awake? Do you feel any better now?" The deep and magnetic voice had a
tenderness to it, and his eyes were so deep as if there was a vast ocean in them.
"Noah?"
"What are you doing in my bed?"
Madeline quickly realized she wasn't dreaming and sat up in a panic!
This jerk has learned to crawl into her bed?
Where are his values?
"I'm sorry. Colt and I were sitting on the bed to accompany you, but we fell asleep by
accident." Noah, a courteous gentleman, hurriedly rose, looking slightly embarrassed.
Those who didn't know thought he'd "accidentally" fallen asleep on the bed due to his shy
demeanor.
Madeline, on the other hand, was not convinced!
Hang on. Did he say he and Colt?
Colt is here too?
Thomas was still lying in Madeline's arms when she suddenly realized what was
happening.
Thomas rubbed his eyes and sat up as if he had sensed her awakening. He said, "M-
Auntie, you're awake. Do you still feel ill?"
"Don't worry, Colt. I'm fine..." Madeline stroked his soft hair, panicked!
He-he-he! She had been sick and was in bed with that little tyke as well. She was the one
who was overthinking things. How embarrassing!
Madeline desired to bury herself in a hole!
