The pointed tip of a black stiletto tapped in a staccato 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 the company as well?" she asked. There was a heated discussion between him and her brothers and sisters-in-law 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 the company." 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.

She knew how much he despised the Ke family, so she never dared to mention anything related 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.
"Don't push me. You know the answer would be hurtful," he answered coldly. If he was rational enough to really put the company's interests first, he would have driven her out of the company 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. action

"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 placed 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 the company hadn't been deep in crisis, you wouldn't have asked me to manage the company 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 the company had been in crisis, Sanford had gone to Rain, for the latter was the VP of FX International Group. Sanford had believed that Rain would be able to save the company. To his credit, Rain did save the company. However, all the members of the Ke family had been driven out except for Sanford.
