Chapter 632
He wanted to intervene, but ultimately forced himself to remain silent.
For all of them, the harsh truth was undeniable.
Hailey was simply not as important as the Wynn Group.
If sacrificing Hailey was the price to bring the company back from the brink of ruin, then it was a sacrifice they had to make.
She would be doing the family a massive favor.
“Serena, don’t listen to a word your mother says. Your happiness is all that matters!” Patrick rubbed his hands together, his voice practically shaking with greed. “I knew you wouldn’t be so heartless. How do you plan to save the Wynn Group? Is Mr. Foster agreeing to invest? Or are you planning to merge your Queen corporation with ours p>
Serena looked at the family before her, thoroughly disgusted by the sheer ugliness of their self-serving greed. A cold smirk touched her lips. “Neither p>
Her icy tone made Patrick’s smile falter slightly, but he desperately kept up the act. “Then… then what is it p>
“A change in management,” Serena said casually, leaning back against the sofa cushions. She crossed her long, stunning legs, radiating an aura of absolute dominance. “Hand the Wynn Group over to me p>
The hopeful anticipation on Patrick’s face instantly shattered.
“What?!” Marianne shrieked, finding her voice first. “You want the Wynn Group? Are you out of your mind? You’re just a girl! What gives you the right to demand our company? I knew it! I knew you had an ulterior motive p>
“Do you see this, Patrick?! This is the precious daughter you’ve been bending over backward to win back! She’s a greedy, ungrateful leech! An outsider plotting to steal our family’s fortune p>
Patrick’s face turned a livid purple, his eyes burning with suppressed rage.
He stared fixedly at Serena, the veins in his forehead pulsing visibly. When he finally spoke, he strained to keep his voice gentle. “Serena… you… you must be joking, right p>
“You don’t have a choice,” Serena drawled, utterly unfazed. “Or I can walk out that door right now. You can wait for the bankruptcy liquidation, drown in debt, and watch Hailey serve a maximum sentence p>
“You!” Marianne trembled from head to toe.

Patrick’s expression twisted into something ugly. His entire body went rigid. It took him a long moment to suck in a breath and push down his explosive anger Serena, have you forgotten your grandmother? The Wynn Group was her life’s work. Could you really be so ruthless as to steal it by force? To destroy everything she built? She
would never rest in peace if she saw this p>
“Shut up p>
At the mention of Old Mrs. Wynn, a visible chill settled in Serena’s eyes. “You don’t get to talk about her p>
“We don’t get to?!” Marianne

shrieked, driven mad by her own rage. “What right do you have? You’re the one who has absolutely no right! Don’t think we don’t know the truth! The only reason you became ‘Queen’ and founded that company is because that dead.old hag funneled money into your pockets! You’ve been spending Wynn family money! Everything you have today was given to you by us! You ungrateful brat! What gives an outsider like you the right to steal the Wynn Group p>
The more she yelled, the angrier she became.
In Marianne’s twisted mind, Serena’s meteoric rise to fame was entirely funded by Old Mrs. Wynn’s blatant favoritism. She believed the old woman had taken the massive fortune left by her late husband and secretly used it to pave Serena’s path to glory.
Marianne’s eyes were bloodshot. Her bruised face twisted into a grotesque mask of hatred as she spat, “And don’t think I haven’t figured it out! You orchestrated this whole thing from the start! Hailey is only facing prison because you set her up p>
“You intentionally installed that hidden camera in the storage room! You deliberately left your drafts there, just waiting for Hailey to take the bait p>
“You plotted to steal the Wynn family’s fortune from the very beginning! You… you scheming little bitch p>
