Chapter 599
“Invalid p>
Helena muttered to herself, her voice trembling and shattered as she shook her head in disbelief.
“I exhausted every scheme to force her to sign, just waiting for this money to turn things around… and in the end, it counts for nothing p>
Helena’s eyes turned bloodshot. Her pent-up fury exploded instantly, cursing sharply through gritted teeth.
“Sienna, that bitch! How dare she scheme against me like this! She deliberately set a trap to play me p>
“Shut up p>
Before her words even faded, Grandma’s third slap came flying in.
This one was even more vicious. Helena stumbled back two steps.
The small of her back hit the corner of the coffee table, making her gasp in pain.
This slap completely snapped the hysterical Helena back to reality, utterly extinguishing her last bit of arrogance.
“You still don’t know how to reflect on your actions, you only know how to humiliate us in public!” Grandma’s chest heaved violently, scolding her coldly.
“You handled your business while being fully recorded for evidence without even noticing! You’re hopelessly stupid! And you still have the nerve to scream and complain here p>
After three consecutive slaps, Helena’s face was shockingly red and swollen, with clear finger marks branded across her cheek.
She didn’t even dare to touch it. The burning sting made her clench her back teeth.
She looked at Grandma, ultimately not daring to lash out.
She merely redirected all her hatred onto Sienna, grinding that name into the dust over and over in her mind.
The living room finally descended into silence.
Helena hung her head, weeping in a wretched state, her body rigid, but she didn’t dare utter another syllable. Her hatred buried deep within her.
Looking at her completely unredeemable, paranoid behavior, Grandma’s anger didn’t wane; her tone only grew colder and more severe.
“You better drop this absurd idea of stripping away the Trustee Management Rights immediately!
The Sterling family’s legacy management system has passed through layers of risk control and verification. It’s solid, standing strong for over a century.
How could it possibly compare to those flashy, wild schemes out there p>
But Helena’s obsession had already seeped deep into her bones, and she absolutely refused to give up.
She reached out, clinging desperately to Grandma’s leg as tears poured down her face, begging submissively.
“Mom, Vertex will definitely make money. Just believe me this once… please p>
“You don’t know what’s good for you p>
Disgusted, Grandma kicked her away fiercely.
The force was massive, immediately breaking free of her grip.
Grandma lowered her gaze to the still stubbornly unrepentant Helena, her eyes filled with a mockery that saw through everything.
“Did you really think I couldn’t see right through your filthy little thoughts?
You just lost those jewels, so you thought you could use this firm to make the money back and buy ever single piece again, didn’t you?
Do you think the Sterlings are your personal money tree, letting you squander everything just to satisfy your own greed p>
Her intentions completely seen through by Grandma, Helena opened her mouth, but couldn’t squeeze out a single word.
Seeing her expression, Grandma. sneered. Stop dreaming! So many rare jewels have already been scattered and sold. There’s absolutely no way to get them back.
Behind massive profits are nothing but traps.
Getting played once wasn’t enough; you had to willingly jump into their snares over and over again.
To any outsider, you look like an absolute fool p>
Helena collapsed on the floor, her tears flowing endlessly, but she still refused to give up.
She knew Grandma’s temper perfectly well, and knew she always followed through on her threats.
But the promise Vertex had given her was simply too tempting.
Billions of dollars in real cash—how could she be willing to just let it go?
“Mom p>
Helena tried to move forward again to argue.
But Grandma had completely lost her patience, her face dropping into a terrifyingly dark scowl.
“Settle down! If you dare mess with the trust assets again or blindly trust outsiders, I will personally erase you from the Sterling family tree entirely and cut off every fast resource you have p>
