Chapter 535
The retort struck Yuna like a slap across the face. Her excited expression froze mid-cheer, mouth hanging open in
disbelief, “What… what do you mean?”
Miley snickered, mercilessly tearing away the pretense, “You calling him ‘brother’ just made him queasy, didn’t you
catch that? Yuna, don’t tell me you actually believed that slipping into the role of a heiress would make Robert
respect you? You’re living in a fantasy! All those dirty little schemes you’ve been pulling – he’s seen them all!
Nothing’s more revolting than having someone you despise suddenly become your sister.”
Yuna’s cheeks flushed a patchwork of anger and shame, wishing she could skin Miley alive.
But with Robert and Freddie there, she couldn’t lash out, not one bit!

“The job openings at the company aren’t for you to decide! Don’t go causing trouble while mom’s not around. And
don’t you forget, I’m still a part of the Fitzgerald family!”
Robert’s declaration was indisputable, yet it left Yuna utterly baffled, “What positions are available at the company?
I wasn’t aware of any.”
Miley couldn’t care less about playing cat and mouse with Yuna. She, along with Mr. Winston and Robert, had come
to put Marguerite in her place, not to waste time with this woman.
So, she simply pushed Marguerite towards Frederick, turning to Yuna, “Since when do you get a say in company
positions? Whatever Marguerite wants, she gets. Isn’t that right, Mr. Winston?”
As she spoke, Miley didn’t miss the chance to give Frederick a meaningful wink.
Frederick gave her an annoyed glance, knowing full well that Miley and Robert didn’t summon him for anything
trivial.
It seemed as though Marguerite had been bullied again, so they were seeking his strength to stand up for her!
Despite everything, seeing her so defenseless and desolate did pull at his heart.
Where was that sharp-tongued firecracker he knew from before? This woman, it seemed, only had the guts to vent
her frustrations at him.
Frederick thought to himself, subtly stepping closer, protectively positioning Marguerite behind him. Yet Yuna,
glaring at Miley, was seething with rage. Why did that woman have to meddle in everything?
“This is a family matter, keep your nose out of it! Do you really think you can extend your reach into my company?”
Robert corrected her sternly, “This is my company!”
Publicly reprimanded by him, Yuna felt utterly humiliated. She noticed several employees whispering amongst
themselves, their once admiring looks now laced with skepticism.

Desperate to salvage her dignity, she stuttered before managing a weak question, “Brother, weren’t you…
uninterested in the family. business?”
Robert’s handsome features remained stoic, but his voice carried an edge of ruthless nonchalance, “I was
uninterested before, but things have changed! Not only am I interested now, but according to the tradition of
primogeniture, as long as I hold on, not a single. penny of the Fitzgerald family’s fortune will go to you!”
Yuna staggered at his words. She knew all too well she couldn’t contend with Robert given her current clout.
Swallowing the bitter pill, she chose to temporarily concede and show weakness, “I… I wasn’t even after the
family’s assets. Mom gave the position to me, and since Marguerite had nothing to do, I just thought I’d find her
some work to tide over. Besides, I already checked; there really aren’t any open positions for her, just a janitorial
spot left.”
