Chapter 92 Marc Gerbers : The Turning Point Finished Enough of this , Jasper said at last .

Lets talk about something pleasant .

Next week is Summers and Margarets birthday .

Its rare for Harvey to be home as well .

I expect the Stewart family to be harmonious for once .

The news that Marc Gerbers was officially moving into Stewart Mall swept across Havenbrook like wildfire .

Everyone was stunned .

How had the Stewart Group pulled this off , and so quietly ? What had they done to earn this ? What on earth had possessed Marc Gerberss principal to agree to such a deal ? No one was more shocked than the Smith Group .

Inside the chairmans office , Diana sat rigid in the chair of authority , her expression unreadable .

Bryson stood nearby , hesitating , stealing a glance in her direction as if weighing whether to speak .

Dianas money and resources were the reasons why Bryson was able to build wonders when starting Smith Group .

Over the years , Diana had earned her reputation .

Ruthless .

Controlling .

Uncompromising .

Though Bryson held the title of chairman of the Smith Group , everyone in the company knew exactly who held the real power .

It was Diana .

After the subordinate finished his report , Bryson waved him away with a flick of his hand .

He stood still for a moment , watching his wife lost in thought , then cautiously stepped forward .

Placing a tentative hand on Dianas shoulder , Bryson softened his voice , comforting her as if afraid to provoke a storm .

Diana , things in the business world are always unpredictable .

This time , its Marc Gerbers who lacked vision .

They didnt choose us , Smith family , but its fine ; theres always next time … Dianas sharp voice cut him off .

Next time ? You think theres going to be a next time ?! She shook his hand off her shoulder , rising to her feet with a cold , sweeping glance toward Bryson , her eyes dark and icy .

This is the repayment I get for giving your bastard daughter , Peyton , a chance ? You insisted she had Trevor behind her .

That he was her powerful backer .

You begged me to give her a shot , and I , out of rare mercy , agreed to listen to you .

And what happened ? That little slut is useless ! Marc Gerber still ended up with the Smith Group .

Bryson felt cold sweat trickle down his back .

He truly had not expected Peyton to fail at .

After all , he had heard plenty about Trevors favoritism toward her over the past two years .

The man had even gone so far as to arrange a heart transplant for her not long ago .

It was something he , as her biological father , had not even done .

Men .

They were all the same .

Bryson had been certain Trevor was head over heels for Peyton .

But in the end , out of nowhere , the Graham Group stepped in , seized the Marc Gerber partnership , and handed it neatly to the Smith Group .

Bryson lowered his voice even further , trying his best to pacify Dianas fury .

1/3 82 % Chapter 92 Marc Gerbers : The Turning Point Finished whole plan was overturned .

It wasnt something Peyton could control .

No ? Then Ill blame it on you .

Dianas gaze was cold as frost .

How did it turn into my fault again ? Bryson felt a chill shoot down his spine .

But he did not dare to speak .

To argue with Diana when she was furious was purely suicidal .

Dianas expression darkened as she sank back into thought .

Why would Fraser get involved in this ? she murmured .

First , the Graham Group had invested eighty billion dollars into the Smith Group .

And now , they had gifted them this golden opportunity with Marc Gerber .

It seemed like this all traced back to Summer .

The true daughter of the Smith family , who had been found and brought home after twenty years .

A man would not go out of his way to help a woman for no reason .

It looked like she needed to have a proper chat with Madam Graham .

Diana grabbed her Hemiic bag with an icy expression , ready to leave .

Where are you going , darling ? Bryson hurried after her , his tone laced with unease .

Diana shot him a sidelong glance , sharp as a blade .

Dont worry about me .

I need to vent my anger properly right now .

Otherwise , you can spend the night kneeling at the door .

Meanwhile .

Peyton had also caught wind of the news that Marc Gerber was moving into Smith Groups mall .

Just last time , she had snapped a few photos of Summer and Fraser together and sent them straight to Trevor .

But he never replied .

Afterward , she sent a flurry of carefully worded messages , pretending to comfort him , acting considerate and gentle .

Still , silence .

Peyton thought Trevor would turn cold toward Summer because of this .

But still , he had helped Summer anyway .

Even after catching her cheating , he still chose to help that woman .

What did Summer have that I didnt ?! Why was Trevor so obsessed with her ?! Peytons chest heaved with fury , rage bubbling hot beneath her skin .

She felt like she could not even breathe .

She could not stop herself .

She had to confront Trevor .

She had to ask him why .

Peyton had barely stepped out the door , and she found herself face to face with Diana , who stood waiting in the doorway , radiating cold fury .

Behind her were two tall , broad shouldered bodyguards .

Peyton frowned , a flicker of guilt flashing in her heart .

What are you doing here ? she asked , her voice tight .

Before she could react , Diana raised her hand and delivered a slap to her face .

Quick .

Sharp .

Merciless .

, 92 % Finished Diana let out a cold snort .

What am I doing here ? I thought you had some real ability .

Thought maybe you could win something for the Smith family .

But it turns out , the daughter of a mistress is worse than a worm .

You really disappointed me .
