Chapter 607

Jim’s face was calm. “Yes, Rachel. I’m handing the company over to you. From now on, you’re the rightful heir.”

Rachel froze. She had never imagined Jim would entrust the entire company to her.

“Dad, I don’t really want to take over the company,” she admitted.

Jim sighed, understanding her hesitation. “I get it. In the past, the Lloyd family treated you unfairly. I know why you’d want nothing to do with the company. But this business isn’t just mine. Your mother poured her heart into it, too. Can you do it for her sake?”

His voice trembled. He was on the verge of breaking into tears.

Rachel softened. She knew Lloyd Enterprise had been built by her parents from scratch. Although the Lloyd family had other businesses in the past, they had all gone bankrupt during an economic crisis. This company was truly her parents’ creation, not just another branch of the Lloyd family empire.

Even if Rachel walked away now, she couldn’t let Yvette inherit what her parents had worked so hard to build.

Rachel took a deep breath, picked up the pen, and signed her name.

Jim broke down in tears. “Rachel, thank you. You’ve fulfilled your old man’s final wish.”

Seeing how frail Jim had become, Rachel realized even this short conversation had taken a lot out of him. She steadied his trembling body and went to call a nurse.

“Please help me get my dad back to his ward.”

“Alright.”

Meanwhile, Yvette and Sasha got into the car. Sasha couldn’t help but vent.

“Yvette, your dad’s gone completely crazy, hasn’t he? He’s getting older and more confused, wanting to divorce me now!”

Yvette gave Sasha a cold look. She didn’t trust Sasha at all. This so-called stepmother always appeared sweet, but her heart was full of schemes.

When Yvette first joined the Lloyd family, she hadn’t fully understood Sasha. Over time, it became clear that Sasha’s kindness was only a mask. Five years ago, she had even tried to manipulate Yvette into going after Rachel’s life. Yvette had taken the hit, while Sasha washed her hands of it entirely.

If it weren’t for the fact that Yvette still needed Sasha’s help, she would have cut ties long ago.

“Mom, you know very well what you did. What else do you expect me to say?”

Sasha’s smile faltered. She quickly adjusted, forcing a calm expression. “Yvette, what’s going on? We’re on the same team here. If we work together, all of your dad’s assets could end up in your hands.”

Yvette laughed bitterly. “Oh, now you’re worried about my inheritance? Funny. I remember you wanted most of it for yourself and your son. I didn’t get a single thing.”

She cursed herself for ever believing Sasha’s lies.

Sasha, seething inside, forced herself to keep smiling. “Yvette, I was joking! You can’t handle Rachel on your own. You’d be better off working with me.”

Yvette wasn’t fooled this time.

“Sure. If you want me to team up, fine, but this time, you handle things yourself. Find whoever you want, and do whatever you want. Don’t try to use me like a stepping stone again, like you did five years ago.”

Sasha clenched her jaw. Yvette was suddenly so smart and so different from before, but Sasha had no choice.

If Jim really went through with the divorce, she wouldn’t just lose most of the inheritance. That old fool would probably leave her and her son just enough to get by.
