Chapter 2812
Vince seemed a little confused when he looked at the woman.Queenie had no intention to join the others. Instead, she waited for the crowd to disperse before coming down from the ship.Vince narrowed his eyes at Queenie for a short while before taking a step forward. He flashed her a warm smile.“Welcome back, Queenie.”“We’ll be treating Julian to dinner. You coming?”Queenie glanced at Vince, curiosity evident in her eyes. She was different compared to Julian. Before she left prison, she already knew the reason she was let out.She was here to fight Vince.Vince must’ve gotten word as well.Despite these circumstances, Vince was still so polite toward her. She was puzzled, to say the least.“Vince, you should know why I’m back at such a crucial time.”“Are you sure you want to invite me to a meal?”Queenie smiled at him.Vince’s smile froze. Naturally, he knew why she was released at such an important moment.Even if he didn’t get the news, he would’ve guessed it anyway.

“You’re right, Big Brother. I’ve always regretted being a woman.”“But now, it’s different.”Queenie smirked.“So what if I’m a man?”“So what if I’m not?”“They say that men can achieve their ambitions anywhere!”“But some people also say…”“That women are no less than men!”“I’ve waited for so long!”“It’s been so many years!”“All I want is a chance…”“For me to fight!”“I’m not here to prove how strong I am…”“I’m here to tell everyone that I can do great things even though I’m a woman!”Harvey couldn’t help but clap his hands.“Impressive. As expected of the lord’s daughter.”“No wonder Vince still tried to make peace with you even though he knew it was impossible.”“He even tried to bait you with the position of the lady of the family.”“He knew a woman like you wouldn’t be tempted by money or simply benefits. What you want is absolute authority.”“For the Yorks of Hong Kong, you can only achieve this by being the lord or the lady of the family.”“And if he ca

Queenie narrowed her eyes at Harvey, staring for a short while. She could tell that he didn’t want anything to do with her at all.She let out a cold snort.“Alright. I’m done scaring you,” she scoffed.“My father already told me what I need to do when I get out.”“He wanted me to gain total control of Loxus Consortium, the company working under the Yorks of Hong Kong before Grandma York’s birthday.”“I only have a chance to fight Vince if I get it in my hands.”“Do your best. I’ll make sure to help in any way I can,” Harvey said, flashing her a smile. At the same time, Harvey told Edwin to look up the location of the company before sending Queenie there.After that, Harvey would be able to leave.Queenie picked up the laptop beside her and checked her emails.“My father transferred all of his shares from Loxus Consortium under my name.”“It’s exactly thirty percent.”“But when he signed the agreement, I gave a suggestion.”“I wanted half of it to be under your name.”“

Bang!“What a move!”“They’re trying to remove my source of authority, you say?”An unspeakable wretched look could be seen on Vince’s face.“For so many years, the company belonged to the head house…”“When did some random outsiders get the right to show off in our own turf?!”“Do they think we’re just a bunch of cowards?!”…After having a simple meal with Julian and sending him back home, Vince hastily made his way to his office building at Victoria Harbor.He walked in, a gloomy look on his face. As he entered, he saw Lexie in her gown, gracefully playing the piano.She was playing the ninth opus of Nocturnes, a score resembling unending murderous intent and vengeance.Vince was in no mood to enjoy the masterpiece. He instantly walked forward and slammed his hands at the piano keys, ruining the moment.“Do you know what time it is, Auntie?! Yet, you’re still in the mood to play piano!”“You said Julian had to be kept in prison, right?!”“Not only is he out, but I also
Chapter 2816
The Toyota Prado stopped in front of the Loxus Consortium.Queenie made a few calls on the road for someone to send a complete set of uniform and makeup in a van.Stepping out of the van half an hour later, she had turned into quite the delicate beauty.With her steadfast way of doing things, she wouldn’t waste a single second so she could rise to power.After making a few more phone calls, she realized that her position of the executive CEO wasn’t low at all. Out of the entire company, she would be considered as the second-in-command.But personnel and financial authority was still being governed by the head of the head house, Cory York.Queenie was in charge of marketing.No one would dare oppose Cory’s decision, either. After all, he was the true holder of the Loxus Consortium; he was the chairman and the CEO of the company.Cory had displayed enough respect to assign Queenie as the executive CEO after one phone call from Marcel.Queenie knew full well that some things just

Harvey didn’t say a single word. He only stood behind Queenie quietly, as if he was her bodyguard.He wanted to see how this so-called capable woman would control the people around her.Queenie ignored the crowd’s gaze completely and took the CEO’s seat.“My name is Queenie York. I’m sure you know who I am, so I’ll cut to the chase.”“I hosted this meeting today to tell you all this: the lord himself has appointed me to be in this position.“Everyone here has a deep connection with the Yorks of Hong Kong.”“I hope we’ll all help each other and stick together at any cost.”“I, Queenie, will never treat any of you poorly.”“Another thing. Let me introduce you all to another person, Harvey York.”“He has no position within the company. He’s just a consultant.”“But his words are my own.”“His requests are the same as mine!”“If you go against him, you go against me.”“Understood?!”Queenie’s resolve had taken control of the crowd. Not only did she reveal her greatest support

The man in the Givenchy suit put on an intimidating expression.“If you can’t take responsibility for all this, then I’m afraid your position might not stay yours for long.”“This kept man here won’t survive for much longer, either!”Harvey glanced at the man in the Givenchy suit, curious. What a fierce man!He was already disrespecting Queenie on her very first meeting!Was he not scared of dying in the hands of the Yorks?After all, Queenie’s identity was still ever present. That was a fact no one could ignore.After flipping through the files, Harvey finally figured out who the man was. His name was Dante Castro, and he was the marketing manager of the company.At the same time, he had quite an interesting identity. He was said to be the son of Cory’s butler, and was raised under his wing. He was considered to be Cory’s trusted subordinate as well.Even Vince would have to be polite to him.With this identity, it was only natural for Dante to be this fearless when facing t
Chapter 2819
At Dante’s words, the higher ups in the room had playful smiles on their faces.They knew he was using the opportunity to bring Queenie down.After all, everyone knew that Ishikawa Corporation had the best selling electronic appliances.Because of its cheap price, the products were sold all over the entire world.As they were trying to get into Country H’s market, they were looking for a local distributor.Even Cory’s secretary wasn’t good enough to make a deal.Since that was the case, then surely Dante had no chance to gain the corporation’s favor.Even if he did, the Ishikawa Corporation wouldn’t use such a poor excuse to cancel the deal.After Queenie took position, it would be plausible to make her take the blame instead.After all, who else could take the blame? She had quite a high status, after all.The higher ups were all on the same side as Dante.Nobody would stand up for Queenie.Everyone looked at Queenie with faint smiles, waiting to see how she would deal wit
