The Billionaire CEO Rejected Every Man for One Single Dad — Until Her Sister Revealed Why She Could Never Forget Him
Chapter 7
Victoria’s board discovered that Ethan had returned.
Several directors were nervous.
Some remembered the old scandal.
They believed Ethan wanted revenge.
One director confronted Victoria.
“You cannot allow personal history to interfere with the company.”
Victoria looked at him.
“Personal history is why this company exists.”
He frowned.
“What?”
“My father built part of this empire using Ethan’s family’s property.”
The room went silent.
Victoria announced that Hartwell Industries would return disputed assets to the rightful owners.
The board exploded.
Billions were involved.
“You’re destroying the company’s value.”
“No.”
She looked around the table.
“I’m correcting what was stolen.”
Ethan was surprised.
“You don’t have to do this.”
Victoria shook her head.
“I do.”
“Why?”
“Because I spent ten years believing you destroyed my life.”
She looked at him.
“I owe you the truth.”
The board voted against her.
She won anyway.
Her controlling shares gave her final authority.
Then she did something nobody expected.
She placed a portion of the recovered assets into a family foundation.
The foundation would fund education, housing, and healthcare for people affected by the old development scheme.
Ethan looked at her.
“This is your father’s company.”
“No.”
She smiled sadly.
“It used to be.”
“What is it now?”
“Mine.”
Ethan understood.
Victoria was no longer repairing the past because she wanted him back.
She was repairing it because she finally understood what her power had been built on.
And that made him respect her in a way he hadn’t expected.
