Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo

Before Sylvia could finish talking, Nicole picked up an apple from the table and catapulted it towards her face.

If Sylvia were any slower to duck her head, the apple would have left a pretty big bruise on her face.

Sylvia was visibly shaken as she started to wail, “Zayn! Look at the monstrosity of a daughter you have created! She tried to assault me, her stepmother! You need to teach her a lesson, Zane! “

“If you still want in on this offer, you better shut your trap! Or else, I will leave right away, and the Lane family will never ever rise from the ashes!”

Nicole crossed her arms and shot daggers at Sylvia.

Zane gave Sylvia a reassuring look. “Don’t worry, my love. Nicole isn’t that cold-blooded. She would at least have something to offer us.”

Then, he turned to face Sylvia. “Nicole, you want Lane Corporation, don’t you? Fine, I can give it to you, but what else are you offering to us in return?”

What? So now I need to offer them something?

Lane Corporation was founded by Nicole’s mother and grandfather with most of the funding coming from Nicole’s grandfather. After Nicole’s mother’s passing, Zane took complete control of the Lane Corporation. Since then, he and Sylvia were basically living off the riches amassed by Nicole’s mother and grandfather.

Nicole found it both amusing and infuriating that her father was asking her for more after spending all that fortune that belonged to her grandfather.
