Derek said word by word. His eyes were full of seriousness.
Zoe felt she was going to explode.
“Derek! You bastard! Are you kidding me?” Zoe glared at Derek fiercely.
“Not really. That was what you want to do to me, wasn’t it?”
Derek snorted, “You wanted something from me, and you also have something that I wanted. So, we just get what we want. That’s all.”
“That’s all?” Zoe stood up and said, “Don’t forget that if it weren’t for me and the Webber Group, you would be nothing!”
“I saved you and your Webber Group from bankruptcy,” Derek responded.
Zoe clenched her fists tightly, her nails almost digging into her flesh. She gritted her teeth.
“Serina was inexplicably reported for plagiarism. I know it was you. You tortured her and you wanted to destroy her because you hated me.”
“Yes! I did it, including the Benevolence and Justice Society matter. I did it to torture her! I wanted to see her go crazy!”
Zoe gritted her teeth and said fiercely, “If it wasn’t for her, we would have been together long ago. Whether you love me or not, we have been married. But she ruined it!”
Derek looked at Zoe’s eyes. It did not seem to be the Zoe he knew!
“Derek, I hate you the most! You didn’t appear at the engagement party, making me like a joke!”
Derek sneered, “You deserved it. If you hadn’t discussed the engagement with my mother, you wouldn’t have made yourself embarrassed. Blame yourself.”
“Yes, I shouldn’t have meddled in your family’s affairs. But, I just wanted to help you. You didn’t care!”
Zoe roared at Derek.
“Help? Zoe, why do you want to help me regain control of the Saint Group? Isn’t it because you want to marry me and help you control the Webber Group? Unfortunately, I won’t be your partner.”
Zoe finally realized that Derek knew everything. He was pretending that he didn’t know.
He had completely lied to her!
“Zoe, if you think I played you, I won’t deny. But you should remember you started it, and you fell for it. You can’t blame me.”
Zoe felt she was trembling. In the beginning, she just wanted to take revenge on Derek. But Derek surprised her. He helped her solve the crisis and was nice to Zoe.
She thought he might have accepted his fate and wanted to take the help of the Webber Group to go back, but she didn’t expect that he had such a plan.
“Remember how you guarded me? In company and your family. Your father mentioned marriage many times, but your family never trust me.”
Derek snorted, “So why should I trust you?”
Zoe looked at Derek. The day before, he was close to her and they were talking about marriage.
But now, he had become a stranger!
However, Zoe smiled.
“Derek, don’t forget that I’m the second-largest shareholder of the Dark Empire. Without my signature, it can’t be listed. I think you are limited in many ways because of me, right?”
Zoe wanted to thank her father. When Derek was preparing to establish the Dark Empire, her father said that Derek would do something in the future. In order to contain him, he asked Zoe to establish the Dark Empire with Derek as the second shareholder.
The Webber Group did not invest in the Dark Empire but found few small shareholders for it.
However, because of the relationship between Zoe and Derek at that time, Zoe inexplicably became the second shareholder. Both of them were the legal representatives of the Dark Empire. So all the major changes needed their agreements.
“Also, the shareholders are with me. Once I told them to dismiss your duty, you are no longer the chairman and president of the Dark Empire.”
Zoe laughed arrogantly, “As you said, we prepared. Derek, just admits that you lost. Maybe I’ll give you another chance.”
Derek smiled. “Miss Zoe seems to have forgotten. You have given me your seal.”
Zoe’s smile froze. Her face was pale as death.
“Derek, what did you do behind me?”
“What did I do? I kicked you out. Should I leave you and share the dividends with you?”
“When one is in love, one is a fool. Zoe, if you want to have a career, don’t expect to be loved like an ordinary woman. You are greedy. You want everything!”
“Derek! You bastard!”
Zoe stepped forward and raised her hand. Derek grabbed her wrist.
“I know I’m quite a bastard, but you are no better than me. I’m merciful to transfer your shares into cash. You only need to sign and the money would be transferred to you immediately.”
Derek flung Zoe’s arm down.
“You played me, and I played you too. We are even. From now on, the Dark Empire has nothing to do with you, and I have nothing to do with Webber Group. I won’t help you anymore.”
“You!”
Zoe bit her lips. “Don’t forget, you have slept with me. Derek! Do you think Serina will accept you?”
She sneered, “No woman could accept that. Aren’t you afraid that I tell Serina about it?”
