“I won’t!” Alexander Sterling replied lightly. “Third sister, it’s not just for coffee that you called me out so late, is it?”
“No, it’s just this kind of leisure. Why don’t we go home, make some tea, and chat?”
“Go home? Ha ha, your home or mine?” Scarlett laughed, then looked up at Alexander and asked.
“Our home! The Sterling family home!” Alexander answered calmly.
“Fourth brother, it’s rare for you to stay so calm at a time like this. But staying calm under pressure has always been your trait. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be the president who pulled Sterling Group out of a corner.” Scarlett sneered.
“Third sister, if you have something to say, just say it. Beating around the bush like this is boring!” Alexander said.
“Fine! Since my fourth brother has said that, I won’t waste time.” Scarlett replied with a smile. But she didn’t rush. She took a sip of coffee first, then continued.
“Alexander, you should remember the separation agreement, right?” Alexander nodded.
“I remember it very well. My mother said that my second sister and I were not my father’s daughters. We had nothing to do with the Sterling family. Mother’s move was cruel enough. It not only directly cut off the relationship between Audrey and me, but also canceled our qualifications to inherit the family property. It was killing two birds with one stone. Clever. I would never have thought of such a unique move. It’s worthy of being the chairman of Sterling Group. She is insidious and cold-blooded. She never leaves any room.”
“Third sister, you were raised by our mother. Don’t slander her like this!” Alexander interrupted Scarlett’s words.
“I slander her? She wants to kill me and Audrey!” Scarlett answered fiercely.
“Mother would never do that!” Alexander retorted calmly.
“Never!” Scarlett sneered again. Then she took out a stack of documents from her bag and threw them in front of Alexander. Alexander glanced at them. He didn’t want to look. He didn’t ask what Scarlett meant. He just waited for her to continue.
“Alexander, you can stay calm as a mountain now. But later, you might not be able to sit still!” Scarlett said, spreading out the stack of documents. She continued, “This is information I had a hard time getting. If the doctor who delivered you wasn’t still alive, this would indeed be a mystery!”
Alexander didn’t respond. His face showed no expression.
“Don’t you want to know what the secret is?”
“No interest!” Alexander said concisely.
“If I were you, I wouldn’t be interested either. After all, once something like this is made public, not only is the person’s identity exposed, but the family’s innocence is also ruined!” Scarlett replied complacently. Alexander’s eyes darkened. He glanced at Scarlett but said nothing.
“Alexander, let me tell you a story. A soul-stirring love story. Thirty years ago, at a famous school, there were three excellent students. Two boys and one girl. They all came from the same country and were good friends. Both boys liked the girl. But the girl was more in love with one of them. Later, the two decided to be together. Not long after, the boy in the couple got involved in a family dispute. He entrusted his girlfriend to his best friend, the other boy, and then returned home. As a result, it didn’t take long for news to arrive that the boy who went back was killed by his enemy. Unfortunately, the woman found out she was pregnant at that time. In those days, even though they were abroad and still studying, pregnancy was definitely not a good thing. At that moment, the other boy stepped in. He saved the day. He not only told his family he wanted to marry the girl, but also insisted that she was pregnant with his child. Later, the man became a father. Do you know who that man is? And who is that child now?” Scarlett looked at Alexander with a smile, clearly enjoying herself.
“Third sister, I didn’t expect you to be so free. You called me out just to tell a cheesy love story?” Alexander replied.
“When I first heard this story, I also thought it was cheesy. But life is full of cheesy things, isn’t it? A child who has nothing to do with the Sterling family, raised by us for decades, has finally become the leader of the family. How funny do you think that is?” Scarlett said with a laugh. Alexander calmly looked at her but didn’t respond.
“That’s not the end of the story. The daughter and the second boy were young and still studying. So the second boy’s mother adopted the child. She declared to the outside world that he was the youngest son of the family after returning home! Ha ha! The grandson, who had no blood relationship, was upgraded to a son! Ha ha ha! Only an abnormal person could do something so abnormal!” Scarlett laughed until tears came out.
“Third sister, you’ve told me so many stories. What’s your purpose? Let’s be frank and get to the point.” Alexander said at this time.
“I want 55% of Sterling Group’s equity. I know you have a way to get it. I’ll give you one month. If you can’t do it, just wait for Sterling Group, the Sterling family, and old Mrs. Sterling to make the headlines in the economic, social, and entertainment sections!” Scarlett replied directly.
“Okay. Give me one month.” Alexander agreed directly.
“Fourth brother is still cheerful!” Scarlett smiled.
“Third sister, although we are siblings, I still want to say this to you. A person who is not strong enough cannot swallow an elephant. I’m afraid you won’t be able to digest it. In the end, it will just be empty.” Alexander looked directly at Scarlett. Scarlett froze for a moment. The next second, she revealed a smile and replied.
“I can’t help worrying about that. Fourth brother, don’t think that if you kill me, it’s all over. If I dared to meet you today, I’m well prepared. Dear fourth brother, you won’t let me down, will you?”
“It’s fine. One month is enough. I hope you’ll be satisfied when you get what you want.” Alexander replied.
“Of course, I’ll be satisfied. How could I not be satisfied with money I can’t spend in a lifetime?”
“Congratulations to you in advance, third sister. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back first.”
“You’re in a hurry to go back to your wife! I don’t know how you, so smart, could marry that silly girl. Didn’t your ex-girlfriend come back to find you? How is she worse than that Evelyn in your house?”
“We love each other. Just like I never understood why you were with brother-in-law Nathan. Third sister, I’ll go first.” Alexander finished. He ignored Scarlett and walked out of the private room. Scarlett’s face suddenly turned gloomy and terrifying. She gritted her teeth.
“Alexander Sterling, let’s see how long you can keep laughing! Old Mrs. Sterling, let’s see how you die in the end!”
