Chapter 7
The Stone family remained trapped in the delusion that “Vera will ultimately bow her head.“[]
Little did they know, I was using the contracts and documents I’d taken from their partners one by one, exposing all of Stone Corporation’s risks to them.[]

Meanwhile, under Sebastian’s arrangements, I made my first public appearance as Chairman of Hart Corporation.[]
In the venue, countless cameras focused on me.[]
I appeared confidently before the public, arm–in–arm with Sebastian.
When the host announced “Ms. Vera Hart will attend this press conference as the representative of our new corporate partner,” the entire venue erupted.]
Everyone wanted to see who was really behind Hart Corporation, the legendary industry leader.
Leo’s body went rigid when he heard my name.]]
He slowly raised his head, his gaze fixed directly on me.]]
Wearing a white dress, I walked steadily down the red carpet, past him.[]
Even with light gauze still wrapped around my left eye, my presence remained sharp and commanding, like an unsheathed sword.
Seeing this scene, Iris could barely stand. She collapsed against Leo’s arm, her voice shaking uncontrollably.[]
“Leo… what’s happening? Am… am I finished?“[]
The guests whispered among themselves:[]
“Isn’t that the Stone family’s daughter–in–law? How did she become flart Corporation’s chairman?“[]
“Haven’t you heard? Hart Corporation’s rise was entirely her doing!“]
“And not just Hart Corporation! Stone Corporation’s recovery from crisis three years ago was all thanks to her too! Without her, Stone Corporation would have gone bankrupt three years ago.“[]
“But recently, that sister–in–law of theirs injured her eye and kicked her out…“]
“Stone Corporation falling to this state is exactly what they deserve!“[]
“Absolutely! I heard the Stone family treated her like a servant, making her work like a slave. Such a family getting their

comeuppance is cause for celebration!“]
Hearing this. Leo’s expression grew darker.[]
He stared at me coldly, like looking at a piece of property that had betrayed him.]
I smiled slightly and took a seat directly across from him.[]
The meeting officially began.[]
Sebastian efficiently presented the first set of data, laying bare Stone Corporation’s vulnerabilities and crises for everyone to
see.
Then I stood up and began explaining Stone Corporation’s risks to the audience using the data.]
My voice was clear and forceful.]
Standing on stage, I told everyone.[]
“Stone Corporation’s prosperity over the past three years has been an illusion. Hidden debts, internal management chaos, and equity disputes have long since planted the seeds for the entire conglomerate’s collapse.“[]
“Once, I was coerced into pouring my heart and soul into keeping Stone Corporation alive. Today, it will be me who personally exposes the truth!”
As my words ended, the venue erupted.]
Leo’s face changed dramatically, panic instantly spreading across his features as he looked at me:[]
“Vera! Are you insane?! Do you know what you’re doing?! You’re my wife! You’re a daughter–in–law of the Stone family! How can you help outsiders hurt your own family!“]
“A daughter–in–law without a marriage certificate?“]
I looked at him mockingly.[]
“As for family, Leo, what family treats their relatives like servants? And what family would be so vicious as to destroy their relative’s eye?“]
Leo was speechless.]
My lips curved coldly as I stared down at him, forcing him to meet my gaze:[]
“Leo, your Stone family always said that without you, I, Vera Hart, would be nothing.“]
“But now, standing here, I’m telling you without the Stone family, I live even better!“[]
–
The venue fell into dead silence, then camera flashes crashed down like a torrential storm.[]
In this symphony of clicking shutters, a nearly hysterical, desperate voice suddenly rang out.[]
People turned toward the sound to see the once–proud Iris had just dropped to her knees with a thud.[]

“Vera! It was all my fault! Please forgive me!“[]
“I can’t take it anymore! I really can’t take it! The cyberbullying is killing me! Vera, please have mercy on me! Save me one more time!”
