Alexander Vance waved dismissively at the butler.
"Let them wait."
The butler bowed and retreated.
Robert Vance glared at him.
"How dare you act so arrogantly?"
Alexander's eyes turned icy.
"How dare I?"
"Because of her status!" Robert pointed at Evelyn Ross.
"A love child. She will only bring shame to the Vance Group! When this gets out tomorrow, can you handle the stock price crash?"
Richard Evans chimed in.
"Alexander, as CEO, your marriage is company business! How is a woman like her worthy of the Vance family?"
Margaret Evans looked at Evelyn.
"Miss Ross, know your place and leave on your own."
Evelyn pressed her lips together and stayed silent.
She knew they were just making excuses.
But her status as a love child had indeed become a weapon against her.
She tried to pull her hand back.
Alexander held it tighter.
"Is it illegal to marry a love child?" His voice was cold.
Robert choked.
"It's an unwritten rule!"
"Then let's call a board vote." Alexander's tone was firm.
"I hold 51% of the shares. I decide."
"You're a dictator!" Robert grabbed a teacup and threw it.
The cup shattered at Alexander's feet.
Eleanor Vance raised her cane and swung.
"How dare you hit my grandson?!"
Robert dodged quickly.
"Mother, I'm doing this for the company!"
"I disown you as my son!" Eleanor shouted.
"Who dares to drive my granddaughter-in-law away?"
Robert avoided the cane.
"She will only disgrace the Vances! The scandal is all over the trending topics. How will you explain this to the executives tomorrow?"
Richard showed his phone.
"Father, no need to wait. It's already trending."
#Vance CEO's Wife Is A Love Child#
#Mistress Crashes Birthday Gala#
Various shocking headlines flooded the screen.
Robert sneered.
"Alexander, look what you've done!"
Richard sighed.
"Alexander, how will you explain this at the board meeting tomorrow?"
Evelyn suddenly spoke.
"Have you seen the first trending topic?"
Robert scolded.
"Know your place! Who gave you the right to speak?"
Eleanor swung her cane at him.
"Am I out of line too?"
Richard laughed mockingly.
"The first topic must be criticizing us…"
He clicked on the headline and froze.
The trending topic actually read: Breaking! Vance CEO's Wife Is Actually Dr. Nan! Leading Figure in New Energy! Vance Group's Marriage Move Is Brilliant! Predicting Major Stock Surge Tomorrow!
The comments were full of praise.
Richard was stunned.
Evelyn smiled lightly.
"Big brother, thank you for buying the trending topic."
Richard's face turned pale.
Alexander tightened his grip on Evelyn's hand.
"Father, big brother, let the stock price do the talking tomorrow."
They turned and left.
Outside, Mr. and Mrs. Roland were waiting for them.
