Cara returned to her seat, feeling satisfied but also a little worried. “Miranda, do you really think your grandmother wille and apologize in person? She’s very proud, you know.”


    Emmanuel frowned. “What is this about? Miranda, are you being unreasonable? That’s your grandmother we’re talking about!”


    Miranda bit her lip. “Unreasonable? She forced me to marry Isa! Is that reasonable? She kept changing her mind and going back on her word! Is that reasonable? She kicked us out of the family and took away our shares! Is that reasonable?”


    “She even threw a celebration for my uncle and invited us just so she could humiliate us in front of everyone. Is that reasonable?”


    Emmanuel was speechless after hearing all this.


    L spoke up for Miranda. “Yes, she wille because she cares too much about saving face not to.”


    Everyone still looked uncertain.


    “Well, if the alternative is going to court or jail then I’d say it’s less embarrassing,” L added.


    Cara muttered under her breath with a hint of anticipation in her voice. “I hope she doese.”


    Meanwhile, after Romeo’s family left the room in anger earlier, Harlow posted about Miranda’s request for an apology from their grandmother on the family group chat hoping to incite anger towards Miranda and make them look bad.


    “What?! How dare Miranda make such an outrageous demand?”


    “She has no respect for authority!”


    “Grandmother would never lower herself like that; it’s ridiculous!”


    “For years people have beening here to pay their respects; why should Grandmother go begging at someone else’s door?”


    “It can’t be true! This must be some kind of delusion on Miranda’s part!”


    The entire Lowe family found it impossible to believe!


    Even though Miranda’s family had been expelled from the n, they didn’t leave the group chat. The primary reason was that the family matriarch was not tech-savvy, and the group chat was administered by Miranda’s younger aunt.


    So, they were not removed from the group chat.


    Upon seeing the chat in the group, Cara was furious. “Harlow is so scheming! She actually posted Miranda’s request in the family group!”


    As everyone began to me their daughter and their own family, Cara was beyond angry.ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    “Mom, don’t worry about them!” Miranda said coldly.


    She thought with a hint of mockery: me and insultse so quickly? Ha ha…


    Just then, the doorbell rang at the vi.


    When Cara saw who was outside through the monitor, her eyes widened and she became excited.


    While everyone in the Lowe family were discussing it back and forth on the group chat, one picture instantly silenced them all.


    Cara: Who said that Mrs. Lowe couldn’te knocking? Look closely!!


    Below was a picture of Victoria standing outside of Miranda’s vi!


    The group chat exploded! The matriarch of the Lowe family had actuallye to Miranda’s doorstep herself to beg her?


    After she opened the door, Victoria walked into courtyard with Harlow and Eliza supporting her.


    Emmanuel couple as well as Miranda’s siblings came out to greet this matriarch.


    “Hmph! Miranda, you have quite some guts! You made mee begging at your door? I’m here now! Are you satisfied?” Victoria asked coldly while staring at Miranda after entering inside.


    Miranda’s expression flickered a few times when facing Victoria; there was some avoidance in her gaze too.


    From childhood until now she had always respected and obeyed her grandmother which made it difficult for her not to feel intimidated when facing Victoria face-to-face!


    Just then L grabbed hold of her hand tightly.


    Miranda felt certain within herself again as she looked straight into Victoria’s eyes once more.


    For such a long time now all those pressures that they put on her unjustly had been bottled up inside her like an explosion waiting for release!


    “Grandmother,” asked Miranda while looking directly at Victoria, “Do you not feel even an ounce remorse towards me?”


    “Hmph!” Victoria snorted disdainfully before asking forcefully, “What do I have to be remorseful about?”


    “Miranda, you have no respect for your elders! Your grandmother has alreadye to see you, isn’t that enough? Let me ask you, will you go back and continue managing the pharmaceuticalpany? Will you help the family deal with those agents?” Romeo asked sternly.


    Victoria was standing there and he became more forceful.


    “That’s right! Say something now!” Eliza and Harlow also questioned her, even resorting to moral ckmail!


    Miranda ignored them and just looked at Victoria with disappointment in her eyes.


    The next second, her face became cold and indifferent as if she had put away all of her emotions.


    “Fine. Since you feel no guilt about it, there’s no need to say anything else! Now we only talk about interests, not family ties!”


    “One thing is certain: only I can handle those agents. Otherwise, it’s a sure thing that both my grandmother and uncle will end up in jail! Right?”


    At this moment Miranda seemed like she wasn’t facing her own rtives but rather opponents in a business deal.


    This conversation had turned into a business negotiation!


    “And what if I don’t agree? I came here didn’t I? What more do you want?” Victoria felt Miranda’s attitude change which made her face even darker.


    “Sell you and my uncle’ shares to me! From now on Lowe’s Pharmaceutical will only have one person making decisions – me – Miranda!”


    The goddess CEO spoke coldly with every word enunciated clearly. The warmth from L’s hand seemed to fill her with strength once again.


    This man had paved the way for her; if she couldn’t take advantage of this opportunity then she would be too weak!


    If so then she would look down upon herself!


    Hearing these words, Victoria’s expression changed instantly while Romeo’s family showed shock mixed with anger on their faces. Even Cara, Emmanuel, and Mason widened their eyes feeling surprised by how strong-willed Miranda was being today.


    Miranda dared to be so forceful?


    Victoria came asking for help yet now Miranda wantedplete control over the pharmaceuticalpany shares?


    “Miranda, do you think that got me beat?” Victoria asked angrily while shaking because of how furious she was.


    “Miranda, you’re delusional! You’re dreaming if you think you can take over my and your grandmother’s shares!” Romeo jumped up like a cat with its tail stepped on, cursing at her.


    Harlow and Eliza also used her of having “wild ambitions” and being insane.


    They had even thought Miranda would work for them, but she had just cut off their source of ie.


    “You have no choice! If I don’t handle those agents, not only will the pharmaceuticalpany face hugepensation ims and bankruptcy, but you’ll also be stuck here forever!”


    “Even the entire Lowe family group will be affected. The stock price will plummet. Who knows? The Lowe family maypletely copse because of this.”


    “Give me thepany. At least then you’ll be safe! Grandmother, Uncle, make your own decision!” Miranda said calmly.


    Victoria swayed a bit and felt as though she was being tightly controlled by her granddaughter at this moment.


    Romeo’s family also looked resentful and full of bitterness.


    “Miranda oh Miranda, I never thought you would be so ruthless!”


    “All right! All right! You win!”
