Chapter 104

Mya nodded upon hearing this She waved her hand and said, “Take them and send them to the Xanders’s home.”

“Yes, ma’am!”

Mya’s subordinates dragged them into the car.

After handling Cedric and Jacob, Adrian left Paraiso.

Meanwhile, Harold, Leonard, Wilfred, and the other Xanders were having a meeting at home.

Riley was present as well. The main content of the meeting was regarding her decision to resign from the family business. Harold was furious regarding this matter.

Harold said, “Riley, you’re a woman of our family so it’s only right for you to work for the family business. Yet, you’re telling

you wish to resign?

me that

“The Xanders have raised you for so many years. Are our efforts for nothing?”

Harold had always practiced patriarchy, and his favorite grandsons were Cedric and Jacob. He treated Riley the same as Adaline and refused to regard her as his grandsons‘ equal

Meanwhile, Leonard said, “Riley, your grandfather is right. You’re a Xander. Where else will you go if you don’t work for the Xander Group? Are you doing this to anger your grandfather?”

“Yes, my daughter. You can’t become the ungrateful brat that the family raised, right?” Riley’s mother, Cecelia, expressed her displeasure.

She could help Cedric and Jacob compete for the family inheritance after Harold’s passing to a certain extent if Riley continued to work for the Xanders, but Riley had actually taken it upon herself to back out now.

Riley shook her head as the Xanders chastised her. She had seen through her family’s antics over the past few years and had lost all hope for them.

Riley said, “Grandfather, Father, Mother, I have a life of my own and my own dreams. I’d like to do the things I enjoy and don’t wish to continue working for the Xander Group anymore.”

“The Xanders raised you so it’s your duty to work for the family. Riley, I can give you permission to leave but don’t ever come back if you do.” Harold could not be bothered to engage in further conversation so he went straight to the point

Riley inhaled a deep breath. She had already made up her mind despite Harold’s threatening remark. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Riley said, “I’m sorry, Grandfather. I quit!”

Harold flew into a rage upon hearing this.

Leonard roared at Riley, “Riley, you’re impossible! What dream of yours could possibly be more important than the family?! If you have the audacity to leave today, I will discwn you!”

“Riley, apologize to your grandfather right now,” urged Cecelia.

On the other hand, Riley knew that she could not waste her time and youth on the family anymore. In her opinion, the Xanders would never anunt to success.

Riley was determined to leave.

However, it was at this very moment that the door of the house was kicked open. Mya, wearing her short skirt, walked into the house with more than ten subordinates dragging Cedric and Jacol.

They tossed Cedric and Jacob into the living room. Both of them were unconscious,

The Xanders turned pale with fear upon seeing Cedric and Jacob.

Leonard and Wilfred were shaking

“Jacob

“Cedric!”

They roared.

Harold was shaking and he abruptly looked toward Mya. “Wh–Who are you? How dare you beat up my grandsons!”

Riley was astounded. She saw Mya at Paraiso earlier. Mya had been with Adrian.

Riley’s eyes widened in surprise. She found it rather incredulous and had not expected Adrian to do this.

Mya said, “Mr. Harold, your grandson, Adrian, assigned me to send a gift to you. Moreover, I have a message for you,

“Hand over the Paraiso Group within the allotted time and take all the Xanders with you to confess your mistakes at Henry’s grave. Otherwise, the Xanders will suffer the same consequences,”
