My $10M Supercar, Her Pink Cat Nest Chapter 08

My $10M Supercar, Her Pink Cat Nest Chapter 08 The Price of Her Anger

I left Bennett Group and drove straight to the Sterling estate.

I did not go back to the house I once shared with Conrad.

My parents were already waiting in the living room.

My mother held my hand with red eyes.

My father placed a firm hand on my shoulder.

“We have done more than enough for the Bennett family. If Conrad doesn’t know what he was given, then there’s no need to spare them. Do what you want. The Sterling family is behind you.”

They had learned everything through their own channels.

No interrogation.

No blame.

Only support.

The tightness in my chest loosened at last.

With my parents standing behind me, there was nothing left for me to fear.

That afternoon, I began issuing orders.

Withdraw every Sterling investment from Bennett Group.

Cut off all technical support, resources, and partner access.

Notify every company connected to the Sterling family, especially those that had worked with Bennett Group because of me, to review their contracts immediately.

Order after order went out.

For five years, I had fed Bennett Group with my own hands.

Now, I would take everything back with those same hands.

Conrad needed to learn that angering me came at a price the entire Bennett family could not pay.

After the livestream and the Sterling family’s retaliation, Bennett Group’s crisis came fast.

Projects were paused.

Funding was pulled.

Banks began calling in loans.

Inside the company, people panicked. Executives resigned one after another.

The stock price fell like a stone.

Conrad ran everywhere begging for help, but every door closed in his face.

The partners who once smiled at him now avoided him like a curse.

Soon, Mr. Bennett returned from overseas in a rush.

He had spent years expanding business abroad and was late to grasp what had happened at home.

Once he learned the whole story, rage nearly knocked him flat.

He knew exactly what Bennett Group relied on.

Without the Sterling family, it was nothing.

The next day, he brought Conrad and Mrs. Bennett to the Sterling estate.

Conrad’s face was pale.

Mrs. Bennett looked unwilling even at the door.

In the living room, Mr. Bennett put himself as low as possible, his smile strained and ingratiating.

Finished

“Mr. Sterling, Mrs. Sterling, Yasmin. Conrad was wrong this time. I failed to teach my son. I’ve brought trouble to your family.”

He turned sharply.

“Conrad, apologize to your father-in-law, your mother-in-law, and your wife.”

Conrad still would not accept it.

“Dad, I only promoted a capable employee. Yasmin was the one who overreacted and caused trouble at the company. Why should I apologize?”

Years of my support had made him arrogant beyond belief.

“You still dare argue?”

Mr. Bennett raised his hand and slapped him.

The sound was loud in the quiet living room.

Conrad covered his face, stunned.

Mrs. Bennett could no longer hold back.

She had never liked the Sterling family. She had always believed I was the one who had married above my station.

Now, seeing her son slapped and her husband bowing to my family, her resentment burst out.

“Are you crazy? Why are you hitting Conrad? It’s just a secretary. He’s a CEO. So what if there’s another woman around him?”

Then she turned her anger on my parents.

“So what if they divorce? Conrad is young, rich, and handsome. Plenty of women better than Yasmin would gladly marry hini. And don’t act like the Sterling family is so noble. Back then, if your family hadn’t still been useful-”

Another slap landed.

Mr. Bennett was shaking with fury.

“Shut up, you idiot. Are you trying to destroy this family?”
