" The board of directors suddenly became agitated . Caiden suppressed the unease in his heart and sneered coldly , " Do you think that owning 10 % of my company's shares gives you the right to speak ? How naive .

Penelope , dressed in a black dress , walked in , her silk scarf gently swaying with each step . She stood next to Julian , her tone as cold as ice : " With the 10 % stake he holds and the 30 % I hold , do we have enough say now ?

He looked into Penelope's cold eyes , suddenly laughed bitterly , and then bent down in pain , " Penelope , your move is really ruthless , I surrender . " Penelope flashed before his eyes . In the past , he exuded an air of confidence with his proud demeanor and firm grip on power . The face of the man who was looking down in front of him gradually overlapped . She felt a mix of emotions in her heart , and said coldly , " Caiden , the pain of your betrayal in the past , I will now return to you in full .

" Madam Henderson , you looked down on me for being the daughter of a maid , so I'll show you how I managed to bring the Henderson family under my wing . Jaylyn's face was full of astonishment and unwillingness as she fiercely pushed Caiden , breaking down and crying , " What sin did I commit to have a useless son like you , bringing such disgrace upon our Henderson family ? " Mother , this was the retribution I deserved . Caiden interrupted his mother with a melancholy tone , never taking his eyes off Penelope . " Penelope , I have nothing to say about you taking the Henderson Group , but there is one thing you got wrong . " He unbuttoned his shirt , with the word " Penelope " tattooed on his chest , a scar running through it : " My heart beats only for you , my heart only loves one person .
