Chapter 30
Chapter 6
The chaos in the conference room died down, the screen went dark and the linemream ended
Alexander was practically carried out by the men he’d brought with him
Left behind was total wreckage and lingering shock
I had Evelyn lead the cleanup and calm the employees down
Restabilizing the company morale that had been shaken by this whole circus.
After handling all that, I returned to my top-floor office just as the intercom rang
Evelyn’s voice carried a hint of hesitation.
“Ms. Sterling, Mr. Richard Montgomery has called over a dozen times. Should I p>
“Put him through p>
I pressed the answer button.
Immediately, Mr. Montgomery’s voice came through-completely stripped of his usual businerate
“Eleanor, listen to me, this is all a misunderstanding p>
I said nothing, just tapped my fingers lightly on the desk.
He seemed to panic even more.
“Alexander got confused, deceived by that Chloe woman. He’s young and foolish, just wanted to prove himself We had no idea he was doing any of this p>
“The Montgomery family absolutely supports you! Given our families’ history, considering my relationship with your father p>
I cut him off.
“The court summons is real, the recordings are real, the chat logs are real. He tried to extort 600 million from me using fake public opinion and fabricated evidence to force me out-that’s also a misunderstanding p>
The line went dead silent except for heavy breathing.
I continued in the same flat tone.
Chapter 6
“As for our history-when Alexander was planning all this, when he was watching Sterling Corporation’s stock fluctuate and employees panic during his livestream, did you think about our history then p>
“Eleanor! You can’t do this! Our partners are all unilaterally terminating contracts, the bank’s calling nonstop demanding payments! You’re trying to destroy the Montgomery family p>
“Oh? Really? Sounds like the market needs to reassess the Montgomery family’s credibility p>
“It’s you! I know it has to be you p>
Finally he couldn’t help but roar, but immediately forced himself to calm down.
“Eleanor, I’m begging you-spare the Montgomery family. I’ll make Alexander apologize to you, make him publicly clarify everything. That Chloe woman-I’ll kick her out immediately, the Montgomery family will never have anything to do with her again! Just stop p>
“Mr. Montgomery, business has its own rules p>
My voice turned cold.
Corporation’s business
decisions based on our own risk assessment are begees repre
reproach. As for Mr.
Montgomery and Ms. Laurent, the law will give them fair judgment. Instead of begging me, you should hire a good lawyer p>
With that, I didn’t give him another chance and hung up directly.
Mr. Montgomery clearly hadn’t given up.
Finding no way to turn things around-his old business buddies either avoiding him or straight-up saying they couldn’t help-he actually rushed to Sterling Corporation headquarters in desperation, trying to force his way up to
see me.
Naturally, security stopped him in the lobby.
Completely losing his composure, he shouted at the reception desk:
“Let me see Eleanor Sterling! I need to see her! She can’t be this ruthless p>
The receptionist had no choice but to call my office again.
Hearing the faint commotion from downstairs, I told Evelyn
“Turn on the lobby intercom p>
She did as instructed.
My voice came through the speakers, crystal clear in the first floor lobby.
You Traded Our Son for Her? Your ‘Harpy’ Ending Just Crashed, Asshole!
