Chapter 254 The Richest Woman in Agron

• Lewis Snow and Irina’s fight was over, but the final result was totally unexpected—Lewis actually slipped away, while Wang Ting stayed with the Wang family to help Wang Hai take full control! Irina was a Saint, for crying out loud—second only to the supreme leader, above everyone else. And rumor had it Saints had to remain virgins. Now that Irina had been with Lewis, how could he bring himself to kill her? He could only bolt in a mess, leaving behind a fresh mess of romantic debt. Back at the Snow villa, the moment Lewis set down that pure white baby snow leopard, all the girls squealed and claimed it as a pet, naming it “Little White.” “Mew, mew!” Little White bounded in, chirping with joy, rubbing up to everyone. The snow leopard’s fluffy fur and round little belly were too cute to handle. “Winona, where’s your sister?” Lewis swept the room, didn’t see Winona Tate, and asked Cold Winona. “She’s in the study, seeing a guest. A gorgeous one, too.” Winona hugged Little White and answered lazily. Lewis blinked. He’d never seen Winona host anyone at home. Who would that be? I’ve gotta take a look. In the study, Winona was receiving her college classmate, Zhou Liying. Zhou Liying looked young, with delicate features, a tall figure, pale skin, and classic beauty. She was the eldest daughter of the Zhou family—one of the eight major clans in Hong Kong—your textbook rich princess. The Zhou family dealt in jewelry and jade, and their brand Zhou Jinfo had shops all over the world, earning them a spot among Hong Kong’s Eight. But the family’s pillar, Zhou Shixian, had died of illness not long ago. His granddaughter, Zhou Liying, inherited the Zhou Group. Overnight, Zhou Liying became Agron’s number one richest woman. Family affection this thin might as well be tissue paper. As soon as Zhou Shixian died, the Zhou clan started tearing into each other over the estate. Zhou Liying was kicked out by her second uncle, and it all goes back to a week ago… One week earlier, at the Zhou residence in Hong Kong. “Zhou Liying, hand over your shares right now, or I’ll throw you out of the Zhou family this instant.” A middle-aged man sat on the sofa in the grand hall, dressed in a black suit, face cold as stone. His name was Zhou Haitao—Zhou Liying’s second uncle—a spoiled loser who never learned a thing. Zhou Liying’s parents had died in a car crash years ago, and this second uncle had been kicked out of the family long ago. Now that grandpa was gone, he had the nerve to come back and fight for the inheritance. “Uncle, here’s Grandpa’s will. Me handing over the shares? Not happening.” Zhou Liying’s inheritance was fully legal. No way she was giving up what was hers, least of all to the uncle who’d been kicked out. Zhou Haitao twisted his face and roared, “You, a woman, dare to hog the Zhou family assets? Who do you think you are? I’m the rightful owner here!” “Stop dreaming, Uncle. Grandpa’s life’s work won’t be ruined by you.” Zhou Liying’s heart went cold. In a big clan, you never worry about food or a roof, but when the money gets huge, family love turns thinner than air. “Attorney Li!” Zhou Haitao snorted. “Is the contract ready?” “Mr. Zhou, it’s ready.” Attorney Li pulled out a contract from his folder and handed it to Zhou Liying. She opened it, her wrist trembling, her heart bleeding. It was a share transfer contract. It stated she would transfer all Zhou Group equity to Zhou Haitao free of charge. That was the “special statement.” A frosty look settled on Zhou Liying’s pretty face, and a shard of ice flashed in her eyes. “Don’t even think about it. Throw him out.” The bodyguards at her side stepped forward to toss Zhou Haitao out. Zhou Haitao sprang up, eyes flashing cold. “If you won’t play nice, don’t blame your uncle for getting ruthless.” A short young man with a small mustache at his side let a chill gleam flick through his eyes. His right hand flicked a samurai sword, and the bodyguards’ heads flew up like rockets. Jets of blood arced through the air and spattered down, staining the hall’s expensive carpet crimson. “Ah!” Zhou Liying was still a woman who’d never seen that kind of gore. She froze, terrified, screaming her head off. “Look into my eyes.” The mustached youth murmured low. Zhou Liying’s pupils went glassy, and a voice seemed to seize her mind. Numb, she lifted a pen and signed her name. The moment the contract took effect, Zhou Haitao officially moved into Zhou Group. Zhou Haitao took the contract, grinning in triumph. He turned to the mustached youth. “Mr. Fujita, thank you.” “Mr. Zhou, with the Fujita family’s backing, you taking Zhou Group is a done deal. Don’t forget your promise. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being harsh.” The short man was Fujita Hiro, a member of the Fujita clan in Japan and a senior hypnotist. With his help, Zhou Haitao secured Zhou Group, while Zhou Liying got kicked out of the house and became a homeless soul. Zhou Liying tried to seek help from some of her grandpa’s old friends, but people are slippery, times are cold. No one lifted a finger. With nowhere else to go, she turned to Winona. Zhou Liying and Winona were college classmates with a deep bond. Back when Winona started her business, Zhou Liying had helped a lot. Winona hadn’t expected her friend to get booted out and stripped of everything. Just as the two were sharing their sorrow, someone knocked. Winona opened the door. Lewis had returned. Her eyes lit up. She couldn’t help Zhou Liying, but could Lewis? Thinking fast, Winona blurted, “Darling, this is my bestie Zhou Liying. She’s in trouble. Can you help her out?” Winona explained the whole story. Lewis chuckled. “This kind of thing? Piece of cake. Leave it to me.” It was rare for Winona to ask him for help. Lewis agreed without a second thought. Zhou Liying heard how casually he answered and felt mocked. To her, Lewis was just a pretty-faced freeloader, tossing out promises like it was nothing. “Winona, forget it. The Zhou family isn’t something he can handle. We should find another way.” Lewis’s brow jumped. “If Winona hadn’t asked, I wouldn’t bother. A Zhou family? I don’t even take it seriously.” “You… shameless blowhard!” Zhou Liying’s temper flared. She pointed at him and snapped. “You dare look down on me? If I help you take back your estate, what then?” Lewis’s eyes held pure disdain. This spoiled princess act ticked him off. “If you really pull it off, I’ll do whatever you say.” Zhou Liying spat the words through her teeth. “Good. Deal. If I do it, you’ll take orders from me.” Lewis gave a wicked little laugh and walked out of the study. Having the richest woman as a maid didn’t sound half bad.
