Roy's expression was calm and cold, and he was walking towards them with his long legs.
Lucy froze for a moment, changed into an aggrieved and tender expression immediately, choked up and ran to Roy, "Mr. Wood, this strange woman just slapped me on the face for no apparent reason and said she was Emma's mommy and wanted to take Emma away! Look, I still have the slap marks she left on my face! I can't beat her, so I called security to come and subdue her!"
Roy lightly pursed his thin lips, and the expression on his face was unclear, "Is that so?"
"No, it's not like that!"
The little girl standing on the side suddenly burst out crying. She thumped and ran to Selina's front, made a pose to defend Selina, stretched out her small hand and pointed at Lucy, "It was this weird aunt who bullied me first, and mommy beat her up to protect me! It's all this weird aunt's fault! Daddy, you can't blame mommy!"
Hearing Emma's words, all the employees there were shocked. Mr. Wood is her daddy, and this strange woman is her mommy? This can't be true, right? Oh my God, what incredible news we have heard!
Lucy was furious and wanted to rip this little abomination to pieces on the spot. But in front of Roy, she had to act like a lady.
"Emma, did she ask you to say that on purpose? When did I bully you? I even brought you the strawberries, didn’t I?" Lucy complained, "Mr. Wood, you have to believe me..."
Roy did not even give Lucy a second look. He picked up Emma, but he looked at Selina and asked, "Emma, tell me. Is she really your mommy?"
Emma held Roy’s neck tightly, “Yes. Daddy, I’m so hungry! Can you bring us to dinner now?”
Seeing them leaving, the employees present were in confusion: what kind of drama is this? What exactly is the relationship among these three people? What a mess it is! The world of rich families is so complicated!
Only Lucy clenched her teeth and her sharp nails almost into her skin!
To lose to that bitch like that?
She was not willing to admit it!
Lucy took out her cell phone from her bag with a dark and vicious look under her eyes.
"Uncle, can you check someone out for me?"
Emma did cling to Roy so tightly that she even did not let him go after dinner.
Roy curved his lips. Seeing the little girl hanging on him like a koala, he unconsciously became happy.
He had used to be a person who had hated trouble, and he had thought he did not like children at all. So, he had not thought about getting married, much less having children. But the little girl in his arms today touched the softest part of his heart, making him feel as if children had not been so annoying. If Emma's parents had not come to pick her up, maybe it would have been a good decision to adopt her.
Selina tried to hint Emma with her eyes, but Emma did not pay any attention to her. After thinking for a while, she gathered her courage and asked, "So are you taking Emma home, Mr. Wood?"
"Or what?"
Roy glanced at her, his eyes deep, "Emma's parents haven't shown up yet."
Selina let out a light breath and made herself look calm, "I can take Emma back to my home first. I have more experience than you."
"Where do you get the experience?" Roy's eyes were steeply stern.
The corners of Selina's eyes jumped, and she was ready to make up an excuse.
"I mean Emma is a girl. It’s more convenient for me than you to take care of her."
"You don’t need to worry about that. I have a special nanny at my home who can definitely take care of Emma."
Selina failed to persuade Roy, so she felt a headache. Finally, she had no choice but to watch Emma being carried home by Roy.
Thinking about Emma who had been taken to the Wood family, Selina did not sleep well all night. After she got up the next day, she was about to call Roy when she received a phone call from her secretary, “Mrs. Young, we are in trouble! Please come to the company quickly! Mr. Young is holding a shareholders’ meeting and is going to dismiss you.”
When Selina rushed to the door to the meeting room of QS Company, she heard Joseph boasting inside the room, “Selina is still young and has no enough work experience. She can’t manage the company well, so I decide to remove her from her post from today. Everything in the company has nothing to do with her in the future…”
“Bang!”
Selina kicked the door open, walked in and interrupted Joseph, “Dad, I don’t agree to it. How can you do that? It is a serious decision! In other words, you have no right to make a decision for me!”
The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became extremely embarrassing.
Joseph blushed. He walked quickly to Selina and stared at her angrily, “I’m your father, and I definitely have the right to do that. If I ask you to get out of the company now, you have to do it!”
“Really? It seems that Jennifer hasn’t told you something.”
Selina raised her lips and took out an Equity Transfer Agreement with a bright red fingerprint on it.
“This is the equity my mother gave me, which is enough for me to have the right to speak in QS Company. As for your agreement, there is only signature and no fingerprint, which has no legal effect at all. That is, now you have no shares of the company. Why can you talk to me like that?”
“Don’t talk nonsense here!” Joseph’s face suddenly twisted. He stretched out his hand and wanted to get the Equity Transfer Agreement in Selina’s hand.
However, Selina had skillfully stepped back, and she said with a sneer, “What? Are you going to rob the Equity Transfer Agreement? You are so shameless. Dad, don’t you think that it’s not a gentleman’s behavior?”
“Selina, shut up. What do you know? It was because you made trouble in Wood Company that the Royalty Apartment project failed. Do you know how much effort all the employees of our company have paid for that project? You should be to blame for it and get out of the company!”
Hearing Joseph’s words, Selina frowned.
She remembered that the plan of Royalty Apartment had been approved by Roy yesterday. How could it fail?
She was really confused, but she still pretended to be calm.
“Don’t worry. I’ll deal with it.”
Selina calmly looked at the members of the board of directors and slowly opened her mouth, “The equity I hold now is enough to keep my current position. In addition, I believe you all know that I am following up the cooperation with Wood Company. In other words, no one can do this project except me. This project is worth 1.5 billion dollars, so I believe all of you here know how to choose.”
Everything Selina said seemed convincible. The members of the board of directors looked at each other and made a decision quickly.
Joseph was kicked out.
When the crisis was over and Selina went out of the meeting room, Joseph followed angrily from behind and stopped her.
“Selina, what the hell are you doing? I’m your father. Do you have to fight against me?”
“Father?” With a cold sneer, Selina looked contemptuously at Joseph, “You have not been my father since you and Jennifer killed my mother and wanted to kill me. What? Do you still expect me to show mercy to you?”
What Selina said was what Joseph thought. He gnawed his teeth and his face turned pale. After a long time, he laughed gloomily.
“Don’t try to fool me as you did to Jennifer. If you have the evidence that we killed your mother, you won’t wait until now. Those videos have long been deleted. You can’t do anything to us!”
Selina looked at the malevolent man who had no regrets and even was complacent about it. She only felt sad in her heart.
It turned out that there were such brazen people in the world.
“Indeed, I have no evidence that you killed my mother.” Selina nodded.
Joseph was happy and was about to become proud. However, Selina said coldly, “But I have all the evidence that you and Jennifer designed to kill me and throw me at the garbage station.”
Joseph's smile froze instantly.
Selina approached him with a cold smile, “Although I survived, what you have done is an attempted murder! Think about it. If I release it to the public, what will happen to you and Jennifer?”
