Just like a wolf in sheep’s clothing—there’s no way he has good intentions.
Kirsten wrinkled her nose. “What a sleazy bastard.”
“So, what if every last share gets transferred to Danielle? No strings, no leftovers?”
“We make that demand, and he goes along with it? For Millie’s sake, I bet he will,” someone replied.
“I just can’t figure out what’s so great about a homewrecker like Millie. Is she really worth all this trouble?”
Honestly, it wasn’t a bad plan, at least under the current circumstances. The only way forward was for Danielle to drop the lawsuit.
Otherwise, Millie’s reputation would be forever tainted.
She could kiss her career goodbye—no one in the industry would touch her after that.
That’s why Alexander would do anything to protect her.
Gian set his fork down and said quietly, “Even so, it’s not foolproof.”
Danielle took a steadying breath, her thoughts in sync with Gian’s.
“Exactly. There’s no way he’ll just hand over the company without a catch.”
Alexander was a master strategist—calculating, ruthless. When it came to his interests, he was always a step ahead.
Especially with a giant like Newsworld.
Kirsten frowned. “Are you two speaking in riddles again? Am I wrong? If he gives you every last share and you own the whole company, what tricks could he possibly have left?”
Gian responded, “You’d be surprised. Business isn’t as straightforward as you think. Even if he gives up every single share, there are still other shareholders.”
“The real game is about winning people’s loyalty. As long as the executive team stays put, the company is still Alexander’s in all but name. Shares just mean no dividends or profits for him.”
“For someone like Alexander, that’s just a temporary setback. Sooner or later, he’ll claw it all back.”
He had plenty of legal ways to regain control.
“With everything spelled out and agreed upon—this is Newsworld we’re talking about, not some two-bit operation.”
She continued, “Our company needs a complete operational setup. We’ve got the talent and tech; if a ready-made company falls into our lap, we’d be idiots not to sign.”
“And what does Millie end up with? Nothing. What’s she going to do, stage a comeback?”
If they pulled this off and got Newsworld, they’d control all the major government contracts, run the defense collaborations—they’d be calling the shots.
Companies like AetherX Dynamics and Cloudpath would be out of the picture with a single word.
With Newsworld in hand, Millie would be blacklisted from the industry. That would sting a lot more than some public shaming.
Besides, her plagiarism was already public knowledge. Her reputation was shot. Now it was just a matter of whether the lawsuit got dropped or not.
Once they took control of Newsworld, everyone would know exactly what happened.
Using Newsworld to “protect” Millie? That would be a public admission that she really did steal and plagiarize, carved in stone for everyone to see.

Please update...
Please update...
Sooooo complicated sigh* Simply pls thanks....
Where is Chapter 545 - 554? I thought there'll be 9-10 chapters per update....
I knew it! He’s in love with her but he thinks she loves his brother!...
Oh poor Bianca... regrets, regrets :)...
This is it! Revenge. Way to go Dani....
OMG! Chapters 451-462 had me on edge. I wish we could also read Alexander's POV. I swear I want to punch him and Millie. This story is kind of a push and pull. The main character will win some, then lose some. Hope the writer gives Danielle a big win....
I hope not a lot of important dialogues get cut out, especially between Danielle and Alexander. But I can't complain, really. Thank you again for the updates....
I'm already in chapter 432 ATM and I have the impression that the story is so slow. Daniele remains in the dark, her reputation is low and inexistent, her accomplishment and professional abilities are stiĺl hidden, her enemies are taking the joy in humiliatihg her. No evolution in the plot? Please don't stay long in this,readers might lose interest in the long run....
