When Yelena returned home, she saw that William’s face was dark, and she looked at Joanne.
Joanne shot her a look and placed her hand beside her lips.
“Be careful,” she mouthed.
Yelena’s heart jumped into her throat.
William cleared his throat and raised his eyes to look at Yelena, sending a chill down her spine.
“Dad…” Yelena laughed dryly. “You’re back so early today, dad. Is everything alright in the company?”
William looked at her coldly. “It seems like you do care about my company!”
Yelena pressed her lips thin and said, “The Jenners Group is our family business, so of course, I—”
“You what? You want to know who is going to own my company after I die, aren’t you!?” William
smacked the table hard and jerked up from his chair, his eyes rounded with anger.
Yelena trembled in fear, and her face turned pale. Her voice began to shake as she explained, “Dad,
you… You’ve misunderstood. I didn’t—”

A cup fell to the floor and smashed into pieces. Yelena drew back her neck and clenched her fist. Her
lips were trembling, and she couldn’t say a word.
Joanne did not dare to stand forward and help her daughter either. She just kept silent while trembling
in fear.
It had been going on for years.
Whether at home or in the company, William would always act like a tyrant. Those who dared to
oppose him would end up miserably.
“I heard that you told everyone in Bowfest that you’d take over my company when you were having a
meeting with them?” William walked up to her and asked, his gaze so sharp they were like two blades
piercing into Yelena. “You truly are my good daughter. I haven’t even died yet, and you’re already
planning to take over my property?”
“Dad, I can explain this—”
“There is no need to explain!” growled William. The thing that he hated the most in this world was
someone coveting his company.
“I’ll make it very clear now! You’ll be the future inheritor of the Jenners if you behave. But if you dare to
do anything wrong, you won’t get a f*cking penny!
“Don’t forget that you’re not my only heir!”
Yelena’s head buzzed, and she looked at her father in disbelief.
‘Didn’t he despise Cordelia and her mother all this time? That’s why he would rather marry Cordelia to
Marcus instead of me, so why…’
Willian glanced at her coldly as a smirk played around his lips.
He knew his daughter very well. He had doted on her since she was small, so it was inevitable that she
was arrogant. It would be too late for him to regret anything if she really tried to take over his company
one day.
Therefore, using Cordelia to threaten her was the best way to keep Yelena in check.

William clenched his fists lightly behind his back. After living most of his life, he loved no one but
himself!
He said, his voice cold, “Yelena, I’ve put a lot of effort into nurturing you. I hope you won’t disappoint
me.”
“That’s right! That’s right!” Joanne stepped forward and grabbed William to the side. “I’m sure our
daughter will remember what you said. Don’t listen to those b*tches. They just want to sow discord
between you and your daughter.”
“Hmm?” William frowned. “Are you saying that I’m so old and confused now that I can’t even
differentiate between lies and the truth?”
Joanne fell silent.
William snorted coldly and continued. “I need you to do something for me, Yelena.”
“Sure, dad! What is it?”
“I heard that Zennie Heamrton has come to Jangasas,” said William. “Isn’t marrying a Hamerton your
dream? That woman is Zephyr Hamerton’s sister! I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you what to do,
right?”
