Araceli POV
I smiled and whispered in Melany's ear, "Just remember, as soon as I have the evidence, I'll send you to jail."
After that, I gave a contemptuous smile and walked towards the conference room.
Zackary's angry voice came from behind me.
"Araceli! Stop!"
Melany said softly, "Dad, I'm sorry. I don't know why Araceli turned out like this. It's all my fault. Dad, please don't blame Araceli."
I heard her words with mockery in my eyes.
Compared to my ruthlessness, Melany's tenderness would make Zackary extremely protective. It was a trick Melany had used for so many years.
Zackary said gently, "It's okay, my daughter. I'll take care of everything. You don't have to worry."
Melany took a deep breath. "Dad, the shareholders' meeting is about to start."
I grimaced and stepped through the conference room door.
A dozen shareholders glanced at me in disbelief and said nothing.
