Chapter 540 - Divorce

On the other side, Vanessa couldn't believe what is happening. Her own daughter is also turning her back…..

Her husband is not taking her side and supporting her like he usually does. To be more precise he is not even sparing a glance at her…. his eyes are bloodshot with anger and his face looked like he aged up ten years due to exhaustion. 

Though she wanted to talk, no one allowed her to even open her mouth. She simply doesn't deserve a second to even spare. 

After concluding what to do with the remaining two companies which have gone through losses due to the contract breach and leaked information, they started deciding about what all they have to do with Vanessa lackeys. 

At last, they couldn't help but kick them out of the company along with her….

Even she is helpless. Everyone bailed out on her. 

Her brother is not responding to her plea calls and her own daughter and husband are not even glancing at her. 

Both are angry on her for humiliating them like this… 

But what she could do?  

Who would have thought that Jean is CEO of INA and also a Valdez? 

No one would have even dreamt of it… 

"I am giving my position to Jean Grey. I will continue as board member and I officially declare my retirement today" Adam said in all sudden. 

"I announce Jean as the next CEO of Grey corporations. Please continue with voting process" he said and sighed. 

Cassandra and her grandparents instantly lifted their hands followed by each and every person of board member. 

Who doesn't want a potential CEO with many other perks rolled up in her sleeves? 

She is already a successful business tycoon and mysterious CEO who is feared by many because of her ruthlessness. 

Along with this, she is by birth a Valdez, one of the wealthiest and prestigious family of country D who are also called as legends of medical field. 

Now she is marrying one of the most formidable and powerful person of country A. Her marital family itself is a legend of business fields in both country A and country D. One side of her in laws are into the politics while other side are into the business….

Importantly, she has this capacity to take back Grey corporations again to the pinnacle of its magnificence and fortune. 

Seeing all the hands raised in perfect synchronization Adam couldn't help but chuckle.

Karma is a bitch. 

He has been trying to prevent this exact moment...but who would have thought that he himself will willingly give his position to his niece. 

Who would have thought that he will feel relieved instead of feeling pain, jealousy and ego?

But there is so much of guilt and shame hidden in the cloaks of this 'relief'. However, now he knows he will never regret this decision. 

Like this he might heal his relation with his niece….

"It is settled then. My first granddaughter will be the new CEO" Elder Grey proudly announced and others gave her a round of applause. 

Vanessa sighed. 

She knew that she is done. 

Jean took everything from her. Now, she doesn't even have single penny nor someone she loves. 

She is mentally exhausted and drained. She no longer has energy to face other breakdown but she knew this is just a start….

She tried to kill one of the most dangerous figure of country X. She has heard the rumors about CEO of INA, who is infamously known for her ruthless approach if someone target her company or someone she loves. 

To her worse, she actually tried to kill the first grandchild and of Summers, Valdez's and Wilsons (Scott's maternal family), who is also the next successor of INA and Cyphers. 

She knew they will not let her go this easily. She knows that she will be behind the bars anytime soon, but at the same time she is aware that it is only for namesake. After she will be taken away by the cops, she will surely be handed to Summers family. 

Her brother once told her how Summers family actually is….

They have their own private army and their approaches are cruel enough that a person will beg them to kill him/her. But that is the kindest thing one can ask for….

She has also listened about the history Valdez's have with inner most circles of military in country D. Though she is not yet sure if they still have same glory, she is at least aware that the persons who will try to harm anyone from that family will not go unpunished. 

She is in a big mess now…

And she doesn't have anyone to help or support her.... she is helpless and hopeless. All she wanted to do know is to beg for mercy. But she knows that Jean will never ever forgive her. 

Meanwhile….

After the long meeting it is already evening and every other person excluding Greys left the company premises. It is only Adam, Vanessa, Cassandra and her grandparents. 

They are seated in the conference room and no one dared to talk or make any sound. Adam is very angry on his wife for what she did. He needed some time to pull up his thoughts into one. 

"Sir, I brought the doc.u.ments you asked for" his personal assistant stuttered as he said. The aura across the room is so suffocating and chilly that he sweated and shivered at the same time.

"Hmm" Adam nodded his head and his PA received a cue from him and quickly left the family to resolve their matters. 

"Sign" Adam sternly said as he placed the doc.u.ment in front of his wife.

Vanessa looked at him with mixture of confusion and fear. With her trembling fingers she flipped it open. As soon as she saw it, her heart almost thumped out of her heart.

Divorce….
