Chapter 15
When Fenny finally accepted the truth, I spoke again. “I’ve already told you–after Ponto Spencer leaves me, he’ll go bankrupt. I wasn’t joking, and I wasn’t just trying to get a rise out of him. It’s the truth.”
“Even though my family is wealthy,
We understand the concept of ‘not letting the water flow outside the field. A man who can’t even control his own desires–how could you expect him to manage five hundred billion? Don’t you think it’s laughable? That’s why I could never give him money after everything he’s done.”
“From the looks of it, things aren’t going well for you either, are they?”
Fenny seemed to either be pretending or truly convinced, muttering to herself, “So what if you’re the daughter of the Brown family? You don’t even have the Brown surname, which just shows you’re not really accepted by them. I don’t believe they’d go so far as to destroy themselves for you.”
“I’ve done my research. Pulling the investment hurt Ponto, but it hurt the Brown family too. I don’t believe you’re doing this just to threaten him. If he holds out, the money will eventually come, right?”
I shook my head. “It’s true I’m Miller, but I’m the largest shareholder of the Brown Group. As for your concerns about losing money, you’re overthinking it. I’ve already found other companies to cooperate with. Without this family connection, I can negotiate better terms and make even more profit.”
“So the only one who’ll suffer, the only one who’ll go bankrupt, Is Ponto Spencer. Understand?”
Fenny said nothing, but her legs buckled, and she fell to her knees. “Madam, no… Miss Miller, please help me. I was wrong, I really was. Please, have mercy on me.”
