The Greatest Heirs

Chapter 6

"Accusing me of selling myself just because you were rejected?" Harley replied.

 "Yes, that is the reality," emphasized Renal.

 "You are very cunning and arrogant, Renal. To the point of slandering me for unclear reasons. I did all this without any frills," screamed Harley.

 "I will never accept this disgusting cooperation contract," said the grandmother firmly.

 "Grandma," whispered Harley.

 "You, grandma, fire me and immediately leave the Kyle Group!" Kyle's grandmother continued.

 Like being struck by lightning, Harley heard the words of Kyle's grandmother who fired him for something he didn't do without caring about his self-respect. He, who didn't want to lose his job, immediately sat down and prostrated himself asking for forgiveness.

 "Grandma, please don't do that. I've survived and sacrificed many things to stay in the Kyle Group," Harley begged.

 "All this time, I've been merciful to you, Harley. If it weren't for my husband, I would have taken you away from the Kyle Group a long time ago, you useless woman like your husband," replied the grandmother angrily. Hearing that her husband had been insulted again, this time Harley didn't remain silent and immediately got up while wiping the tears that wet the corners of her cheeks.

 "Grandma, can't you just appreciate Gerald as my husband for once?" Harley asked coldly.

 "What is there to appreciate about that poor good-for-nothing?" Kyle's grandmother answered haughtily.

 "Enough, grandma?! Don't insult my husband like that again, I'm really fed up with the words you've been giving my husband all this time. Don't you have the slightest sense of gratitude towards Gerald? If it weren't for Gerald, Renal would never have graduated at the University of California like grandma's pride now. If it weren't for Gerald, we would all be homeless, Kyle Group would be bankrupt and not have a single investor, have you forgotten all that?" Harley said vehemently.

 Grandma stepped forward to slap Harley on the cheek but she swiftly brushed it off, making everyone in the house shocked and didn't think Harley could do something as rude as this.

 "If grandma tells me to leave the Kyle Group, fine, I will do that. But, first give me severance pay of one hundred million dollars. Then I will cancel the cooperation contract with Wayne Corporation right now," replied Harley.

 "Are you crazy? Canceling the cooperation contract with Wayne Corporation?!" Grandma shouted, not accepting it.

 "Then what should I do? Still let the contract run? Meanwhile Wayne Corporation only wants cooperation through me, not Renal," replied Harley in a tone that sounded cynical.

 Renal and Yoke are increasingly convinced that Harley has sold himself to the mysterious leader of the Wayne Corporation, even though in terms of brains and abilities it is clear that Renal is at the top.

 "How arrogant are you, Harley?! I'm becoming increasingly convinced that you really sold yourself to the head of the Wayne Corporation, right?" accused Renal.

 "It's up to you, obviously I no longer have any work relationship with the Kyle Group, I will cancel my contract this very second," said Harley firmly.

 Harley was fed up with being in that house, she was never considered together with her husband, she was always insulted, constantly slandered and made terrible accusations. Harley took the cooperation contract letter and immediately left the Kyle Group residence.

 Grandma felt that canceling the cooperation contract with Wayne Corporation was a stupid act considering that this was a golden opportunity that would not come twice in a lifetime.

 "This cannot be allowed," he snorted.

 "Grandma wants to do what?" Renal asked, confused.

 "Wait, Harley," stopped Grandma.

 "Let her go, grandma, that woman doesn't seem worthy of being in our company. I will guarantee the replacement of the cooperation contract with the new Wayne Corporation," Renal held back.

 "No. Harley must remain at the Kyle Group company and serve as commissioner in place of grandfather. Don't cancel the cooperation contract with Wayne Corporation because that is your grandfather's dream," called grandmother.

 Harley smiled with satisfaction in her heart. She knew very well that Kyle's grandmother would not possibly waste such a golden opportunity. His eyes now focused on Renal and Yoke who looked surprised and didn't like Grandma's decision, because for the first time he was able to fight a cousin who was so arrogant and very conceited.

 "But I want to make a condition for grandma," offered Harley.

"Condition?" Grandma asked, confused.

 "Yes, only two conditions and they won't burden you," replied Harley.

 "Okay, say?" Grandma said she couldn't wait any longer.

 "Firstly, as the main commissioner of the Kyle Group, I don't want any interference from other people, including my extended family, the decision is absolutely in my hands and no one can interfere. And secondly, I want you to treat my husband with respect as you respect me starting from now," asked Harley.

 "Are you too much, Harley?!" Renal jerked, not accepting it. His crazy request immediately made everyone in the living room stare in disbelief at Harley.

 "I know you won't agree, Renal," quipped Harley.

 "Don't be inconsequential, Harley? Kyle Group has a grandmother," protested Renal.

 "But I have been appointed by Kyle's grandmother to be responsible, and you who don't have any position are not worthy to interfere," replied Harley.

 Renal's parents were furious and immediately attacked Harley because they couldn't accept that their beloved son had been insulted. Just as they were about to hit him, suddenly Gerald arrived on time and protected his wife by pushing Renal's mother's body.

 "Oh my waist," Renal's mother pretended to moan.

 "Are you crazy to push my future mother-in-law, Gerald?!" shouted Yoke.

 "It's your future mother-in-law who is crazy, how dare you treat Harley like that to defend her child who hasn't even been able to produce anything for the Kyle Group like Harley," replied Gerald.

 "You useless daughter-in-law, don't interfere!" he shouted.

 The situation became chaotic, Gerald, who only wanted to protect his wife, was attacked by a family, acting as if he were the victim who needed to be defended, even though in reality they were the ones who started the fire of this conflict.

 "You really are an ignorant and useless couple. Grandma's decision was the right one to replace Harley with Renal," added Renal's mother.

 "You are the family who are parasites. You have lived for dozens of years with Kyle's grandmother and it seems like you have made billions of dollars for the Kyle Group even though you haven't at all," replied Gerald bravely.

 Harley gaped in Gerald's arms hearing that courage enter him with a firm attitude to defend him and protect his pride, making him feel very happy.

 "Don't just talk about it. Renal is the best student at a California university, while Harley is just a student from a worthless private university. Obviously, Renal is better at leading the Kyle Group and is more deserving of a cooperation contract with the Wayne Corporation, not a model woman like you," defended Renal's mother.

 "Prove now that your son is Grandma's best choice, if he is able to get cooperation with the Wayne Corporation without slandering Harley," challenged Gerald.
