Ren Xin sat in her dimly lit room, the evening shadows casting long fingers across the walls. She was deep in thought, the weight of her predicament pressing heavily on her shoulders.
Her husband's refusal to allocate any company shares to their child gnawed at her. It was a blow to her pride and a threat to her child's future.
The only feasible path she saw now was through Stacy, her sole potential link to Mr. Qin, the senior figurehead of the company.
Mr. Qin had made it clear that his legacy was to be preserved solely for his son. This was a decision Ren Xin found utterly unacceptable.
Her brother, once a reliable ally, was now a liability. His demotion following the scandal of embezzlement and the use of substandard materials in contracts had rendered him powerless and untrustworthy.
Ren Xin's options were dwindling, and desperation was creeping in.
