Chapter 66 Three Conditions
Kaia flashed a triumphant smile. “First, Sally and Kimberly have to move out of the villa. It’s the joint property of Mom and you. They don’t deserve to live here!”
This villa was also filled with memories of her and Claire.
Tobias’ face darkened terribly. He gritted his teeth and replied straightforwardly, “Fine!”
“Second, they must publicly apologize to me on social media and promise to stay away from me in the future. That’s not too much to ask, right?”
Tobias frowned again but still said, “Okay!”
Then he added, “But they can’t say too much. If this incident gets exposed, it’ll be bad for the company.”
Kaia had no objections. Suddenly, she raised an eyebrow. “There’s one more thing I want to confirm with you. You said before that if I married Alden, you’d give me an additional 5% of the shares, right?”
Tobias looked skeptical.
Is she regretting it and planning to get Alden back?

“Yes! As long as you may m another 5% of the shares.”
Kaia smiled faintly, “Then my third condition is to increase this 5% to 10%. If you agree to all these three conditions and fulfill them, I’ll drop the case!”
Tobias squinted slightly and sized up Kaia.
He didn’t expect her to be so ambitious.
“Kaia, this third condition isn’t something you get just for dropping the case.”
Kaia shrugged. “Of course not. But you’ll have to put it in writing-ideally notarized. Otherwise, how am I supposed to hold you to it after I’ve done my part?”
Tobias pondered for a moment. He didn’t know what his daughter was up to. But would Alden really agree to marry her again?
Well, if they did get married, it would be good for the company.
“Alright! I agree to all three conditions!”
Kaia stood up. “Thanks, Dad. Let me know when you’ve completed them, and I’ll come to check.”
She turned and walked away, the smile slipping from her lips.
She would have the shares.
And the man Kimberly dreamed about.
One day soon, Luna would have to call her Auntie.
Everything she once looked down on-she would take it all.

“What? You want us to move out?” Sally’s shrill voice echoed through the villa.
Her chest heaved with anger, as if she couldn’t believe what her husband was asking of her.
Kimberly was fuming. “Dad, why should we move out? This is our home too! Kaia is just bullying us!”
Tobias knew they would be furious. He soothed them gently, saying, “You’ve always said this villa is old and you want to move to a new place. I have a large penthouse. It’s on the top floor with a terrace, no worse than this place. Move there first and come back later.”
But his words didn’t calm them down.
Kimberly’s face flushed with anger.
“Dad, this isn’t about whether the place is good or not—Kaia is humiliating Mom!” she snapped. “Mom’s her elder, and she shows her zero respect!”
“She’s never even called her ‘Mom’-not once, ever since we were kids. And now she’s pulling this stunt just to embarrass
us!”
Her voice rose, sharp with frustration.
“If you give in to her ridiculous demands, she’s only going to get bolder! She’ll walk all over us!”
Sally kept silent, silently agreeing with her daughter.
Tobias had already given his word in the morning and had no intention of going back on it. Moreover, this whole mess was caused by Sally’s nephew.
His face showed his annoyance as he frowned and said, “That’s it. No more discussion!”
Sally was infuriated, and Kimberly was extremely frustrated.
If her friends found out about this, they’d surely mock her behind her back!
Tobias said gravely, “One more thing. Sally, it was you who drugged Kaia this time. The evidence is solid. If it goes to court, you’ll be involved in the lawsuit too, which will have a huge impact on the company’s stock price.”
“You and your nephew should post an apology statement online. You can be vague about the reason. Just show a good-natured attitude. Once she vents her anger, she’ll drop the case.”
“What?!” Sally and Kimberly both shouted, their outrage echoing through the room.
Kimberly stared at her father like he’d lost his mind. “Dad, are you seriously under that woman’s spell? Are you crazy?”
“Why on earth should Mom apologize to that bitch in public? Do you have any idea what that would do to her dignity?”
But this time, her impertinence crossed the line.
Tobias’s expression darkened. His voice dropped, cold and sharp.
“Kimberly. Is that how you speak to your father?”
“And stop calling her ‘that woman.’ She’s your sister. From now on, when you’re out in public, you represent this family. Keep talking like that, and all you’ll do is drag our name through the mud.
“There’s no room for negotiation. Figure it out yourself.”
With that, Tobias turned and strode upstairs without looking back.
Kimberly stood frozen, lips trembling, her face burning with humiliation. Tears welled in her eyes.
“Mom… why is Dad like this? Why is he siding with her?”
“Enough!” Sally snapped, her tone sharp with irritation. She looked exhausted-and far too fed up to coddle anyone.
“Stop calling her a bitch. You wanna hand her something to use against us? Don’t be stupid.”
Her eyes narrowed, lips tightening into a hard line.
Then, a flicker of cold malice flashed in her expression.
“She thinks she can push us out just like that? Oh no. She’s got another thing coming.”
