The Wrong Woman

Zach's expression remained stern as he addressed the shareholders with authority, "It's been a while."

"Mr. Hoffis Senior, can you explain what's happening here?"

The shareholders bombarded Zach with questions, eager for explanations.

Zach motioned toward the lawyers standing beside him. "My previous will, power of attorney, and all documents related to the inheritance of my assets in my name have been nullified. My legal team has taken care of these issues.

"I haven't left a single cent of my fortune to my adopted son, so she..." Zach pointed accusingly at Avery, "...is merely a kidnapper, a fraudster, a white-collar criminal."

Avery's fists clenched upon hearing this. She glanced around, only to realize that Hugo had vanished without a trace.

Her face paled, drained of any remaining defiance.

As confusion rippled through the room, Avery's smirk grew colder, her teeth gritted in a final, desperate attempt. "You heartless old man, don't you care about the lives of your son, daughter-in-law, and grandson?"

Zach's fists clenched tightly, his rage simmering beneath the surface.

Nathan responded calmly, "Why don't you reach out to them and see if they dare to make a move?"

Avery erupted in anger. "You think I won't?"

Without hesitation, Avery grabbed her phone, eager to make the call. But to her dismay, she found no signal.
