Ever since she was recognized by the family, Xena had never mentioned anything about money to Anna. Except for their family name, Xena dared not ask for anything else!
Since ancient times, all of the Yard superiors were twins. Now that Anna was the only high-ranking Yard, Xena’s identity as her twin was an extremely sensitive topic. This was because she too had reasonable rights to the Yard Family’s inheritance, but she knew that Anna would never give it to her. In fact, she was rather fearful of her sister’s existence. Her good behavior was the only reason she was still alive right now.
However, if she started to ask for shares and the rights to her inheritance, it would be a futile attempt as Anna would undoubtedly make Xena disappear without a word.
Therefore, Xena had to prove herself at all costs, even if it meant killing Anne today!
However, up until now, Anne still did not know why Xena was lashing out at her.
She just wanted to have a part of their shares. Was that so wrong?
She grew up pampered and spoiled, so she had never suffered this badly before!
All this while, she led a carefree life, and Xena had never so much as chastised her before. So why was she beating her now?!
Stubbornness overtook her, and Anne suddenly got up to grab the whip that had yet to lash out. As her entire body trembled with pain, she raged against Xena. “What’s so wrong with me wanting shares? Ronney Group is the Yard Family’s property, and I’m a part of the family. I too have inheritance rights! Why can’t I have some shares? Even that cat, General, has some shares! So, why can’t I have some? Why not? I’m obviously a direct descendant of the Yard Family, but Cooper’s b*stard daughter called me an outsider to my face, all because I have no shares! If I had some shares, Cooper would already be engaged to me! I can’t take it! I can’t! I want Ronney Group’s shares!”
At this moment, Callum came to give Anna some documents but had unexpectedly heard Anne’s words as soon as he walked into the office.
He shook his head and gave a low chuckle. She’s so silly that it’s pathetic!
He walked in and placed the stack of documents on Anna’s desk.
Meanwhile, Xena was stunned by Anne’s remarks.
She’s going to bring the whole family trouble!
“You vile creature! I’ll strangle you to death!”
Crazed by anger, Xena rushed forward and throttled Anne, leaving her no room for escape. She choked her until her eyes rolled back into her head.
Although Anne had been pampered and spoiled since young, she was only in her early twenties, so she was much stronger than Xena—who was in her forties—and managed to choke her mother in return.
At this moment, Anna lifted her gaze. Callum immediately understood and dragged apart the mother-daughter duo, who were still strangling each other.
The world turned quiet at once.
Anna silently read through the documents, flipping one page after another.
After all this time, she was still more used to reading stuff on paper.
The stack of documents contained all of Sophia’s personal information. They had found everything they could, including details that most people would not be able to find.
Previously, Anna had roughly looked up Sophia’s information, but it was not as detailed as this.
Sophia’s life before she was eighteen was terribly tragic. She worked hard and tried to change her life through studying, but she was ill-fated and had even been molested as a child.
