Chapter 5
Stanley’s private life was far from clean.
Under the investigation of the private detective hired by Kristina at great expense, it was easy to find evidence of his drunkenness and promiscuity.
After organizing this evidence, Kristins promptly attended the shareholders‘ meeting
When she arrived on the first floor and was about to step into the elevator, she suddenly saw Stanley inside. Kristina hesitated for a moment, then, pretending to be embarrassed, she turned and walked toward another private elevator.
Just as she expected, Stanley followed her smugly. “Why are you here? Oh, you must be representing my dying uncle, right?”
Stanley laughed as the elevator doors closed, leaning close to Kristina’s ear and saying. “Are you having fun with Trenton! You’ll regret it. Soon, Il replace him as the head of the McClain family and take everything he has. You taught me that
Unexpectedly, Kristina shrank back like a frightened rabbit, pulling her collar tight and huddling into the corner. “You… I’m also part of the McClain family now. You can’t speak to me like that,” she stammered.
Stanley burst into maniacal bughter. So arrogant, he failed to notice Kristina’s abnormal behavior and continued, “Just you wait. I can get everything from the McClain family without you.”
Kristina cowered as Stanley inched closer. Sudklenly, she let out a strange smile and whispered, “Do you like to host like this when you’re in bed
with those women?”
Stanley froze. His eyes were filled with rage, and he looked like a wild animal that had been provoked. Then he raised his hand high, about to slap Kristina
Kristina’s eyes turned cold. She nimbly shifted her position, but as she turned, she covered her right cheek with her hand, pretending as if she had really been struck.
Just then, the elevator stopped. Kristina glanced at Stanley fearfully, will covering her right cheek, and quickly exited the elevator.
“Don’t get too arrogant, you bitch. Don’t forget that I saved your life, you’ll have to find a way to thank me for my kindness eventually!” Stanley
shouted.
He couldn’t understand why Kristina dared to defy him, nor could he comprehend how everything had turned out this way
Alone in the elevator, Stanley panted heavily, pounding the advertisement panel several times before he could calm down.
All of this was captured by the modified cameras installed in the elevator.
Kristina claimed she was attending the shareholders‘ meeting of the McClain Group on behalf of Trenton. However, the older generation of the McClain family didn’t take her seriously at all.
After the news spread that Trenton had little time left, countless eyes were fixed on his position. Among them, Stanley was undoubtedly the primary heir. He spoke eloquently, while Kristina listened with an air of subservience.
When Stanley reached the climax of his speech, Kristina suddenly stood up, her eyes filled with innocence, and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, I think Stanley might not be fit for this position. He has severe mania. I’m afraid he’ll bring disaster to the McClain family.”
Stanley arrogantly retorted, “Who gave you the right to speak? Shut up.”
The next second, the image on the large screen behind him suddenly changed, playing the video that Kristina had prepared.
In the video, Stanley was seen pushing Kristina in front of the reporters, striking her in the elevator, and venting his rage maniacally, his eyes bloodshot.
For a moment, the conference room fell into complete silence.
“It’s okay for me to suffer some grievances If Stanley scolds me, I deserve it,” Kristina said, shedding a few tears as if she was truly wronged.
Stanley’s eyes turned red with anger. He made a move to hit her, but was stopped by his father’s violent cough.
Someone immediately reprimanded Stanley, “How can you behave like this? Even if Kristina is in the wrong, she is still a member of the McClain family. How can you lay a hand on a family member?”

Chapter 5
“If Stanley really has psychological issues, perhaps we need to reconsider the choice of heir- another person said.
Kristina wiped away her tears, a cold smile flickering in the corner of her tips, as she dropped another bombshell. “Psychological problems are trivial. What I’m most afraid of is that Stanley’s private life will become a stain on the McClain Group in the future.”
With that, the images on the screen changed again, automatically playing a series of photos of Stanley entangled with countless women.
“You’re talking nonsense. I’m a man, and my interactions with them are all legitimate Stanley shouted. “So what if a man and a woman hug? Who dares to make a fuss over this?”
Kristina looked at him. “Do you know who sent me these photos? Someone sent pictures me of you with these women, waiting for the McClain family to buy them off.
“There’s even a video of you with my sister. I really don’t understand how big your appetite is. Although my sister is already 22 years old, she looks like a minor. Why did you deceive her and have sex with her?”
Stanley felt a loud bang in his head. Before he could catch up with Kristina’s train of thought, someone next to him immediately asked, “Stanley, tell me the truth. Have you ever had sex with a minor! Have you ever touched something you shouldn’t?“
Stanley denied it frantically, shouting. “How could I? I haven’t. She’s talking nonsense. Don’t listen to her.”
Kristina shed a few more tears, putting on an act of being delicate and timid as she sat back down in her chair. “I don’t wish to interfere in the affairs of the McGlain family, but I have warned you all the stakes involved”
There were countless people within the McClain family eyeing Trenton’s position. Even if Stanley hadn’t done those things, he couldn’t shake off the stigma now, let alone inherit the McClain family’s assets smoothly.
Without Kristina, Stanley was nothing but a useless mess.
In the following hours, everything the Stanley family had planned was thrown into disarray. Stanley sat in his chair, pale and wild–eyed, looking as if he wanted to tear Kristina apart the next second,
As Stanley’s father, Logan, had a heart attack from rage and called for a doctor to perform emergency treatment, the meeting was finally put on hold temporarily
Kristina left with a sense of satisfaction. The private doctor who rushed in from outside brushed past her. The sight of his face made her freeze for a moment. She wondered to herself, How could he be here?
