From Ruin She Rose novel Chapter 424

Chapter 424

Emily stared at Gale. “If you’re trying to play the family card to get me to come back and be the good Bennett girl, you can forget it. Because even if every single one of you dies, I still won’t forgive you.”

It was the first time she’d shown her hatred so openly, and it left Gale stunned. “You…” he stammered, but no words came

out.

Seeing him like that, Emily still felt it wasn’t enough. “Honestly, if Grandpa Charles hadn’t left me that 20% stake, I wouldn’t have just taken Bennett Group from you. I would’ve burned it to the ground.

“It was only because you were backing that Lydia dared to be so arrogant, pushing me to the edge over and over, and even getting Bob and Grandpa Charles killed. What makes you think I could ever forgive you?”

Gale stared at Emily, eyes wide with disbelief. He never thought her hatred could cut this deep.

Gale thought, ‘Aren’t we family? No matter how badly we messed up, as long as we are still alive, isn’t there always a way to make things right?’

Gale tried to speak, frustration and pain twisting his face, but in the end, all he could do was let out a heavy sigh.

“I know you’re angry,” Gale said. “If handing the company over to you will help you let go of that anger, I’m willing to

give

in.”

He put on his most gentle, loving tone. “I’m getting old, and Andrew’s missing. Lucas just doesn’t have what it takes. We’re family, Emily. Trusting you with the company puts my mind at ease.”

Emily smiled, and she cut straight through his scheme. “You think just because I’m one of the Bennetts. It’s no big deal if the company ends up in my hands for a while, right?

“You figure once you’ve sweet-talked me enough and Andrew comes back, you’ll just have me hand the company over, isn’t that it?”
