The pointed tip of a ck stiletto tapped in a stato beat on the glossy marble floor. Tiana walked to her brother who sat on an ottoman swivel chair at his desk. "Rain, are you driving me out of thepany as well?" she asked. There was a heated discussion between him and her brothers and sisters-inw and she stood behind them by the door, waiting for them to finish. It was not until they left that she had a chance to talk to Rain. She didn''t know why Rain was mad and threw a fit at them.


    Rain stared at her and his cold heart softened. "If you want to stay, then stay in thepany." Actually, Rain was not all made of hardness and cruelty unlike people made him out to be. He had a heart and although Tiana was part of the Ke family, she was the only one who was nice to him. Because of that, he was willing to at least repay her in kind.


    "I want to know what you think. Do you want me to stay?" she asked hopefully. Tiana carefully watched his reaction. She knew how much he despised the Ke family, so she never dared to mention anything rted to her family before him. She didn''t want him to stay away from her and it was already hard enough to try to build a friendship with him.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    "Don''t push me. You know the answer would be hurtful," he answered coldly. If he was rational enough to really put thepany''s interests first, he would have driven her out of thepany along with the rest of her family. She was part of the Ke family after all, and might turn herself against him one day.


    "I think I know the answer now. Rain, take good care of yourself. Goodbye!" Tiana gave him a long, deep gaze before she turned to leave the office, tears pooling in her eyes and streaming down her cheeks. She had always treated him as her brother, but it seemed that he never liked her.


    Rain''s lips trembled as he watched her leave his office in tears. He wanted to stop her, but in the end he decided not to. Since he was resolute on taking revenge against the Ke family, it would be the best to draw a clear line with every member of the family. Thest person he would have to confront was Sanford. Rain knew Sanford would not sit by idly and remain indifferent, so he waited for his biological father toe to him himself.


    It turned out that it didn''t take too long, and soon enough the door burst open. Sanford stormed angrily in his office and pointed a finger at Rain, his hand shaking.


    "You... That''s how you repay me? After I''ve given you mypany?" It had never urred to Sanford that Rain wouldpletely take control over thepany and drive all the members of Ke family out, like a purge of thepany''s upper management.


    "It serves you right. As a man sows, so shall he reap." Rain shed his father an arrogant smile, but in reality his heart was bleeding on the inside. When he was a little boy, he had longed to experience paternal love. However ironically, his father only treated him as a tool. "I know I did something wrong to you and your mother. You can punish me in whatever way you want, but why did you have to involve the innocent people?" Sanford questioned Rain''s decisions. However, he didn''t know that his wife and daughters-inw had tried to murder Rain''s wife.


    "Ha-ha! Innocent people? Are you serious? If they were innocent, then there would be no bad guys in this world," Rain said through gritted teeth. He couldn''t believe that Sanford still tried to defend those who tried to kill Annie. He should never have had ced his hopes on Sanford from the very beginning.


    "Stop talking nonsense! I guess you''ve nned to make thepany yours ever since I asked you toe back, huh? That''s why you''ve asked for so many privileges!" Sanford said usingly. He thought he had discovered the truth at this revtion, and he deeply regretted having asked Rain to help him manage thepany.


    "Ha-ha! It''s toote that you just realized it now. You thought I really wanted to help you? Everything that I''ve done is for revenge. Is it clear now?" Rain said harshly, yet he lowered his gaze to conceal the true sorrow in his eyes. If only the Ke family had treated him a little nicer, he would have forgiven them. However, the truth was they even wanted to murder his wife. He had even used all his personal funds just to save KD Group to the point where he himself had some financial difficulty. He was only lucky enough to have FX International Group behind him.


    When he took over thepany, it was on the verge of copsing at any minute under the heavy weight of its debts. Rain had devoted all his money and energy to saving thepany from ruin. He believed that with all his efforts, he had done his best and had given the Ke family members many chances, but it seemed that they just couldn''t learn their lessons.


    "Ha-ha! When they warned me that you would steal thepany, I chose to believe you. I didn''t expect you to repay me this way. What a fool I was!" Sanford staggered his words as he found it hard to ept the terrible truth.


    "But now you don''t believe me, do you?" A bitter smile forced itself on Rain''s lips. He finally understood that no matter how much he had done for him and thepany, Sanford would always choose to believe his family instead of him. After all, he was just a bastard. "I wanted to trust you! But you let me down," Sanford shouted. His heart sank as he realized that he would be a nobody without KD Group.


    "Don''t make any excuses! From now on, I have lost all hope for you anymore. You''ll still be a shareholder. I think I''ve been merciful enough to you." No matter what Sanford had done to him and his mother, he was his biological father. Rain would give him a peaceful and affluent life, and that was all he could offer.


    "A shareholder? Don''t you think I would appreciate that. It''s you who destroyed our family!" Sanford hit the floor hardly with the end of his mahogany cane and suddenly heaved. He then ced one hand on his chest. Apparently, he was not feeling well. "Really? I destroyed your family? I think you know best who destroyed your family. If thepany hadn''t been deep in crisis, you wouldn''t have asked me to manage thepany from the very beginning. You would have treated me as a stranger as you had already done!" Rain''s heart ached painfully as he spat out those words at his father.


    Sanford stared at his son, his eyes wide in disbelief. He was quite stunned as he didn''t expect him to be aware of his true intentions. When thepany had been in crisis, Sanford had gone to Rain, for thetter was the VP of FX International Group. Sanford had believed that Rain would be able to save thepany. To his credit, Rain did save thepany. However, all the members of the Ke family had been driven out except for Sanford. Moreover, the seniors and upper management of thepany all followed Rain''s lead now.000000]
