Yu Cheng gritted his teeth. "We are willing to forfeit 40% of the family's profits as compensation," he offered, his voice strained.
But Wu Xiufan remained unmoved. He knew that money was not what Alex desired.
"I don't want your money," Alex replied, his tone cold. "I want something else."
A wave of dread washed over the Yu family. They knew that whatever Alex asked for, it would be far more devastating than a mere monetary loss.
"What do you want?" Yu Cheng asked, his voice trembling.
Alex's eyes glinted with a dangerous light. "I want to be the heir of the Yu family," he said, his voice clear and unwavering.
A gasp rippled through the room. The Yu family members were stunned. They had underestimated Alex, his ambition, and his audacity.
Yu Xuan, unable to contain his anger, scoffed. "You? The heir of the Yu family? You're nothing but a servant, a mere pawn in Wu Xiufan's game!"
