Rose smirked. "That's the way. Although we are a family, we still need to settle our scores clearly! Another thing, don't you dare call me an illegitimate daughter. You're more clear than anybody else whether this is the truth or not." 1
Her stepmother was filled with so much hatred that her eyes could go up in flames.
Royan was holding back his emotions to the point that his facial expression was beginning to twitch." Will you agree to help Loyle Enterprise now?"
Rose paused before saying, "Transfer the whole of Loyle Enterprise to my name. In the future, all of you will have no connection to it whether the company is profiting or losing, deal?"
Royan froze on the spot.
"Rose Loyle, you want to take over Loyle Enterprise?" her stepmother said between gritted teeth.
Rose said, "Isn't this what you all want? Making me shoulder all the debts? You must be well aware that m e taking over Loyle Enterprise during this period of time is a dangerous move that might end up badly. It’s up to you to decide if you want to accept my offer."
"Haha.” A mocking laugh was heard coming from upstairs.
It was Rose's half-sister from a different mother, Sydney Loyle. She was seen standing by the handrail, looking down at Rose. She was dressed in brilliant red pajamas with a cigarette between her fingers. Her curly hair was tied into a bun on the top of her head. She was looking stylish and dignified.
"Rose Loyle, you're so stupid and ignorant. Are you trying to take over Loyle Enterprise for yourself while we’re faced with a crisis?” Sydney held onto the handrail as she walked down elegantly.
When Sydney stood in front of Rose, she attempted to slap Rose, but Rose was much more agile and grabbed Sydney’s wrist.
Rose coldly said, "Little Sister, is this your way of welcoming me when I just got home? Where are your manners?"
Sydney ridiculed back. "Then where were your manners when you slapped my mother?”
"Your mother snatched another woman's man by being a mistress, so what manners did she have?” Rose taunted.
Sydney turned melancholy. "You..."
Rose disdainfully flung off Sydney's hand and took out a piece of tissue to wipe her hand.
Sydney glared at Rose angrily before she walked toward Royan.
"Dad, Loyle Enterprise is in quite a tight spot, but if you give Loyle Enterprise to her, we will be left with nothing. I have a way to save Loyle Enterprise. I know the assistant of Grand Asia’s president. His name is Grayson. I'll try to plead with him and put in some good words for Loyle Enterprise with Master Ares. I'm sure Master Ares will let go of Loyle Enterprise."
Sydney hatefully glared at Rose as she said that.
"When that time comes, I will personally inform Master Ares that Rose Loyle is nothing but a dog in our family and that we have kicked her out a long time ago. As long as I can explain the situation clearly to Master Ares, he will not punish Loyle Enterprise for Rose's wrong deeds."
The evil stepmother continued to cajole, "That's right, hubby. Sydney has a point. Master Ares must be unclear with the situation of our family, and that's why he poured his anger on you. As long as we
tell the truth to Master Ares and you issue a legal notice to sever your relationship with Rose, I’m sure Master Ares will not be so unreasonable."
Royan became hesitant when he heard that.
When the stepmother noticed Royan's reaction, she ridiculed Rose. "Rose Loyle, scram this instant! Do you think that we cannot survive without you?"
Sydney scorned at Rose as well. "Do you think that you're someone significant? Hmph. I've heard from Grayson that Master Ares hates you to the core, to the extent that he won't let you into the Ares family even after you gave birth to his children."
Rose ignored Sydney and continued to look at Royan.
Royan finally made the difficult decision and nodded." Sydney, Loyle Enterprise's fate is in your hand!"
Sydney proudly stared at Rose like a triumphant rooster that had won a fight.
Rose pulled an unreadable smile. "Be careful.” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
'Ha, does the Loyle family think that they can be saved just by knowing Jay’s assistant?'
The next day, Sydney dressed to the nines to meet Grayson who she thought was a good friend of hers.
“Sydney, what brings you to Grand Asia?" Grayson already knew her intentions.
"Grayson, I have a favor to ask from you.” Sydney ignored any pleasantries and went straight for the kill.
Grayson had a crush on her when they were in high school. Up till now, he remained single. Sydney thought that he still held a torch for her.
Sydney was a pretty girl, the sexy type. She was a natural stunner. She was also good at using her beauty to get the things she wanted.
Grayson looked embarrassed and said, "If you've come to ask for my help in regards to Loyle Enterprise's crisis, I have no ways to help you. However, considering our long friendship, I can let you know that you can try asking Rose for help. As long as she agrees to release the custody of her children, my president will let Loyle Enterprise go."
Sydney's expression looked disconcerted when she heard that. The reason why she had come to meet Grayson was that she did not want to ask Rose for help.
Who would have expected that Grayson would ask her to seek Rose’s help instead?
She had boastfully announced her impending victory i n front of Rose and her parents. Was she going to be shamed if she failed to save Loyle Enterprise?
"Grayson, I'm out of ways, and that's why I came to you. Please let me meet Master Ares. I want to explain to him that Rose is merely my father's illegitimate daughter and has already been chased out of the Loyle family. Master Ares has no reason to put his displeasure toward Rose on the innocent Loyle Enterprise..."
Grayson replied, "There’s no use for you to tell these to Master Ares. His principle in business is that the spoils go to the winner. What else can you all do?"
Sydney had come with confidence that she was going t o ace it with Grayson, but she was filtered by Grayson even before meeting Master Ares. She was unwilling t o give up.
"Grayson, what do I need to do for you to help me?" She suddenly tugged on the collar of her chiffon dress. Her intentions of seduction were plain to see.
Grayson sighed inwardly. 'A pretty yet modest woman is an endangered species nowadays.' "Sydney, go home. Master Ares does not meet any women other than for business-related issues." Grayson then turned to leave.
Sydney was stunned on the spot. She thought that she would have a guaranteed win. She did not expect that i t would be so difficult to even meet Master Ares.
