Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Chapter 430



Jeffery spoke with a steady yet authoritative tone, emanating power without even raising his voice. The room was dead silent, but the confusion was clear in everyone's eyes. It all started when he had Chloe sit in Claire's seat. What was Jeffery up to?

He wasn't known for being particularly warm to his children. If there was any favoritism, it seemed to tip in Claire's favor. Outsiders thought Connor was the only son of the Sartori family, the heir apparent to the Sartori Corporation. But that wasn't entirely true. Jeffery had

always been clear: merit would decide who takes over.

The second and third branches of the family had already lost in this succession battle. Now, it was down to Claire and Connor, with Claire having a slight edge. That is, until the recent deserted island incident. While the public remained unaware, the Sartori family knew Claire had used Chloe and Diana to threaten Connor, even forcing him to give up fifteen percent of his shares. Connor almost died in that typhoon.

Jeffery was genuinely furious. Claire hadn't expected him to protect Chloe so fiercely, which was expected since Connor had indeed nearly died this time. Without protest, Claire found a seat and sat down quietly.

The table was laden with exquisite dishes, but Chloe found no taste in the food, feeling intensely nervous. She discreetly observed the family, realizing that while everyone was polite on the surface, their smiles were hollow, each harboring their own thoughts. Halfway through the meal, Jeffery spoke up suddenly. "Since we have everyone here today, I have a few things to announce." Everyone immediately put down their utensils and listened attentively.

Jeffery glanced at Claire. "I usually turn a blind eye to your squabbles, but you should know my limits. If anyone harms another for the sake of inheritance, I will not stand by."

Most people kept their faces neutral,

but inside, they were itching for drama. Valeria and Madison, who had always been overshadowed by Claire, were now secretly thrilled Jeffery had always favored Claire, so she remained unrestrained despite

her age. They hoped he wespite

severely reprimand Claire this time. Jeffery continued, "I have three announcements to make." The room fell even quieter. "First, Claire has made a grave mistake and must be punished to learn her lesson. Starting tomorrow, she will be removed from her position as General Manager of the Sartori Corporation headquarters."

Claire couldn't stay silent at this. "Dad, how could you do this to me!"

Claire held many titles, the chairwoman of Eldridge

Entertainment, a major shareholder in several public companies. But the most prestigious was undoubtedly the General Manager of Sartori Corporation headquarters.

Sartori Corporation was the heart of the family's business empire. Every family member had a position within the corporation, but Claire's was the highest. Now, she's stripped of her General Manager position. Valeria and Madison could barely contain their glee.

Jeffery's tone turned icy. "Sit down. This is just a warning. If you dare to misbehave again, I will not hesitate to take back every single share you own."
