Shining Bright After Rebirth (Diana and Steven) novel Chapter 940

Chapter 940 Don’t Test Me

Queenie’s eyes burned with fury.

With Cecil here, things weren’t as smooth as she had planned.

She had planned to corner Wyatt when he was at his weakest and most helpless, forcing him to hand over the company.

But Cecil’s sudden arrival had wrecked everything.

Her carefully laid plans lay in ruins, and her anger boiled over.

He’d shown up at the worst possible time to ruin it all, and she couldn’t stop herself from silently cursing his very existence.

“Cecil, Mr. Wyatt Farley’s company has nothing to do with you. What are you doing here?” Her voice was cold and ominous.

“What am I doing here?” Cecil sneered, “Didn’t I just tell you? What’s the matter? Are you so young and yet already hard of hearing?”

“You-” Queenie’s voice faltered.

“Save it, Queenie,” Cecil cut her off sharply. “I won’t let wreck Uncle Wyatt’s company. As long as I’m around, I’ll kick Mr. Foster out of the picture. And you, Mr. Foster? You’re nothing. What makes you think you can mess with the Farley family’s business?”

Queenie’s anger flared. Cecil’s smug, unruly demeanor infuriated her. She snapped, “Don’t forget what Wyatt did to you, Cecil! He tried to drag the Farley family down with counterfeit goods. Someone like him isn’t worth helping! Or have you not suffered enough in his hands?”

The more Queenie spoke, the more worked up she became. Based on what she knew about Cecil, he wouldn’t usually care about something like this. After all, Wyatt and Samuel had once tried to kill him.

Cecil glanced at Wyatt, who looked deeply ashamed.

At that moment, Wyatt finally realized how much a family’s unity affected its success.

Reflecting on his mistakes, Wyatt mused, “I’ve been so foolish. I thought I could handle everything alone and make the Farley family better. I believed I could surpass Ivan. But now I understand–I can’t.”

Wyatt admitted out loud, “Cecil, help me. I was wrong. I won’t oppose you or our family anymore. Now I see how important it is for a family to stick together.”

“I get it now. Some people just have to hit rock bottom before they learn,” he mused bitterly. “No lesson can sink in otherwise.”

Though Cecil had no desire to help Wyatt, he couldn’t stand by and watch Queenie take over the company and humiliate their family.

Cecil thought grimly, “Uncle Wyatt being bullied by Queenie, losing the company, and seeing her plot against the Farley family’s grandson–is she looking down on us that much? Does she think we have no one to stand up to her?”

Cecil said firmly, “Don’t worry, Uncle Wyatt. I’ll handle this. I’ve already arranged for the company to fund the purchase of Mr. Foster’s shares.”

He turned to Carlo and continued, “Mr. Foster, if you don’t agree to step aside, all those things you did at Silver Veil will soon reach your wife and the media. You have two choices, either walk away quietly, or I’ll make sure the Foster family goes bankrupt by the end of today.”

With every word Cecil spoke, Carlo’s face grew paler. Cecil had come prepared and even knew about what Carlo had done at Silver Veil.

“Don’t push it, Cecil. So what if you have money? That doesn’t make you invincible,” Carlo spoke through gritted teeth.

Carlo bristled. “I’d like to see how you plan to do that. Right now, I’m the largest shareholder in the company. What are you going to fight me with?”

If the company was split, it would mean nothing to Carlo anymore.

With that realization, Carlo’s chest tightened, his heart pounding furiously.

Cecil glanced over at Queenie and then at George before saying with a smirk. “Tsk. Mr. Gellar, you used to be such a big shot. How did you end up like this, stooping so low that you’ve resorted to swallowing someone else’s company just to stay afloat? Steven, you’re such a bastard. Honestly, you deserve this mess. Tell me, how did you manage to screw yourself over so… spectacularly?

Queenie looked at George and stayed silent. She couldn’t help but notice that while George looked exactly like Steven, he didn’t have Steven’s overbearing presence.
