Chapter 86 Charming and Cool
Robert was casually sprawled out in his seat at the head of the table, with his chubby legs lazily crossed as if the entire company belonged to him. He glanced at Amos and the others out of the corner of his eye in a show of complete disregard.
“Nothing much. I just want you to sign before leaving Alpha Ventures for good.”
Amos and Charles scowled, outraged by Robert’s actions.
“That’s just rude, Mr. Donovan. We have not received much money from you ove the years, yet you’ll kick us out the moment the Morgans choose to ally
themselves with Alpha Ventures.”
“Mr. Donovan, you should at least let us enjoy a share of the profits. We’re
old friends. You cannot do this.” Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
“Old friends?” Robert sneered. “How can you call yourselves that? None of you
said a word when Claire forced me out of my role. Why are we friends now?”
It was clear that he held a grudge against them.
They remained silent and refused to sign the documents.
Furious, Robert slammed his hand on the conference table. “Sign now and you’ll get some money out of this. Refuse to sign… Well, I have Evelyn backing me up. You can’t blame me for what happens next.”
A sharp noise echoed through the air as the conference table shook.
The minor shareholders felt their hearts skip in fear as though they would
Chapter 86 Charming and Cool
The minor shareholders felt their hearts skip in tear as though they would stop out of fear.
They looked at each other for a few moments. Amos was the first to cave in. With a heavy sigh, he picked up the pen.
Just then, a woman’s derisive voice rang through the air. “What a great show,
Dad.”
Robert’s heart sank.
Claire?.
Why was she here?
As he thought that, Claire walked into the conference room with a whip that was coiled around Adam as she dragged him into the room like a leashed dog.
Adam started shouting the moment he saw Robert. “Save me!”
Robert instantly lost his composure. Everyone knew about his connection to Adam. That meant an attack on Adam was an insult to Robert.
He shot to his feet and sternly admonished Claire, “You ungrateful child! Let your uncle go!”
Claire led Adam over to Robert. However, she did not show any fear and even twisted the whip, causing Adam to scream in pain.
“Ouch! It hurts! Aah! Stop, please! You’re going to snap my neck!”
“Dad,” Claire said with a pout. “Are you closer to him than me?“.
That was a hard question to answer.
Chapter 86 Charming and Cool
The circumstances around Claire’s birth were an unspeakable secret. He had
kept it hidden for 23 years, not even telling Alice. How could he say anything when there were so many people watching?
Naturally, he was even more closely related to Adam than Claire.
He pursed his lips with an awkward look in his eyes. “Of course, you’re
closer to me.”
“Well, there you have it.” Claire tugged harder, forcing Adam to stand in
front of her before she kicked him in the back of the knees to make him
kneel. “This man had more than ten men with him as he tried to corner me on
the street. There was a camera filming the entire time as he tried to get the men to defile me. How shall we deal with him?”
Robert’s face darkened. He looked down with blazing eyes and sternly
demanded, “Is what she said true?”
With the whip wrapped around his neck, Adam did not dare lie. “Yes, it’s
true.”
There was a loud slap as Robert smacked Adam hard across the face, cursing frustration, “Didn’t I say not to lay a hand on her? Am I nobody to you?”
Adam burst into tears with a wail. With the whip around his neck, he did not look like the powerful gang leader of Silverton.
“I’m sorry, Robert! I’m sorry! I won’t do it again!”
Robert glared at Adam before looking up at Claire and saying, “He has apologized, so let him go.”
Did they think Claire was fooled by their act?
Chapter 86 Charming and Cool
Claire haughtily raised her chin and coldly spat out, “I’m going to do just that today, and you can do nothing about it!”
She then swung her whip, sending Adam flying through the air.
He crashed into the nearby wall. The moment he let out a cry of pain, Claire’s whip was sent flying toward him.
There was a muffled thud as the whip tore through Adam’s flesh, splattering
the room with blood.
The minor shareholders were terrified. They hurriedly hid in a corner far away from them.
That whip did not hesitate at all. What if it accidentally struck them instead? They might die.
However …
Claire looked so cool and charming as she swung the whip around.
It was like watching one of those thrilling action movies with well–choreographed fighting.
Adam had always been a bully. Every year, the minor shareholders would only receive a paltry sum as dividends. Amos had tried to argue with Robert years ago, but with Adam by Robert’s side, Amos was too afraid to even speak harshly against Robert.
For 20 years, they had suffered under Adam’s oppressive thumb. It was a harc life. Thus, they were all filled with glee when they saw just how much pain
Adam was in.

For 20 years, they had suffered under Adam’s oppressive thumb. It was a hard life. Thus, they were all filled with glee when they saw just how much pain

Adam’s screams had Robert trembling with fury. “Enough! That’s enough, Claire! It’s time I teach you your place in this household!”
He picked up his phone and made a call. As he glared at Claire, he said into the phone, “I want every security guard in the conference room, now!”
Claire ignored him and kept whipping Adam.
Throughout her life, she had been bullied by Clarissa, tormented by Aaron, and taken advantage of by Adam. He was supposed to be her uncle, yet since the moment she turned 13, he kept “accidentally” groping her.
Every time she saw Adam, she would hide far away from him in fear that he would one day lose his mind and do the unthinkable.
The fear and agony she had suppressed all these years instantly transformed into rage. With every swing of her whip. Adam wailed louder.
