Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 174: Joining the Company

Zachary was on the verge of madness, unaware of the grave mistake he had made. "Mom, the people I've offended are all from the underworld. If I don't pay up, I'm done for! You have to help me!" he pleaded.

"You worthless thing, what do you expect me to use to help you out?" Genevieve wished she had never given birth to such a failure of a son. From childhood, Zachary had either been causing trouble, always leaving messes for her to clean up. But this time, the amount was over sixty million dollars-where could she possibly find such a huge sum?

"If your father finds out, he might die of anger. You know how much he and your grandfather despise gambling and loan sharks. Dream on about joining the company after this. All I ask is that you stop causing trouble, such a simple request, yet you can't even fulfill that," she lamented.

Genevieve's biggest mistake in life was probably having two useless children, Ivy and Zachary, who did nothing but ask for money every day. She was exhausted. Now, they had created a huge mess and still expected her to clean it up. She wished she could shove him back into her womb.

Money was the least of their problems. If his grandfather found out what Zachary had done, he would never truly be a part of the Montgomery family. Without entering the family, they wouldn't have access to shares or any real power. Did he plan to beg Magnus for money all his life?

If Magnus had only Zachary as a son, it wouldn't be as bad since he would have no other choice. However, the Montgomery family had a legitimate heir, Aurora. Aurora was no longer the little girl they could manipulate. Now backed by Julian, and as she claimed, owning a publicly traded company, Ivy and Zachary couldn't even compare to a strand of her hair.

With this incident, their grandfather might just hand over all authority to Aurora. The thought alone twisted Genevieve's heart like a knife. She had not spent so many years in the Montgomery family just to live comfortably; she sought security, a guarantee of a worry-free and respectable life.

Originally, she had hoped to rise in status through her children's recognition by the Montgomery family, but after so many years, she hadn't even secured a position as his wife. Her children had a chance to shift from being illegitimate to recognized, and Zachary had ruined it. How could she not be furious after all her scheming?
