Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1648

Kelly said, "I suggested we should dissolve the overseas company the last time, but he was upset. After all, it's that woman who is upset. She'll definitely persuade him to resort to tricks, and he'll unquestionably listen to her."

She then turned to Arya and continued. "So, before they do something even worse, Arya, you must hold onto those two companies! If you can't manage it alone, consult with Toph, Zuko, or Pammy. Without your approval, your brother can't take even a penny from you, understand?"

Kelly implored, gripping Arya's hands tightly, "The Bayers and Tanners' assets have been accumulated for generations. We can't afford to lose them all!"

Arya nodded vigorously and assured her, "I've got it, mom. Don't worry. I hope Graham will soon turn things around, and our family can return to how it used to be."

Exhausted, Kelly closed her eyes and coughed heavily.

At that moment, someone hurried past outside the door.

Sophia concealed herself at the corner of the corridor, her eyes filled with resentment as she stared at Kelly's room. Her hand pressed against the wall, almost chipping the paint.

She had overheard the entire conversation and had a plan in mind.

"Hello, Sophia." Graham's voice came from the phone. "Have you visited my mom? I'm held up here. Tell her I'll be there soon."

"No need." Sophia's voice turned cold. "It's pointless for you to come. Your sister's in there. The three of them are playing a happy family."

"What did you say?" Graham exclaimed.

"I heard them loud and clear." Sophia scoffed. "Your parents gave their assets to your sister. You, the son, get nothing!"

A week later.

The voting for the Outstanding Teacher Prize among parents concluded. The vote count took place in the meeting room, and as expected, Maisie had an overwhelming lead in votes. It was almost a unanimous decision, leaving Maeve far behind.

Many parents not only cast their votes but also left online comments, expressing their gratitude for Maisie's patience with the children and her dedication.

Maeve widened her eyes as the vote count was announced. She slammed the table and stood up amidst the cheers and applause, exclaiming, "I can't believe it! The votes must have been rigged!"

At that moment, everyone in the room stared at her, then turned their attention to Maisie, unsure of what to say.
