Third-person POV

In the Blanco Estate.

"We've set the time for the meeting." The second she closed the door, Lola stopped pretending and put on a big smile. She didn't even care if smiling that much would give her wrinkles because that didn't matter anymore, "Manuel will hold the meeting in three days to transfer the shares to you and officially make you his heir. Janice, that's great news!"

With no one else here, Lola finally didn't have to suppress her excitement. She went to give Janice a big hug and stroked her pretty face softly, "That's wonderful. Janice, in three days, you'll have the greatest power! No one will ever dare to look down upon us anymore!"

"Yes, mother, everything will be mine," Janice was so thrilled that she was about to cry and she wanted to run and roar to express how excited she was right now, "that damn butler who only supports Lauren will also have to kiss my a*s soon. I'm the real heir!" Janice had always known that not everyone in this estate truly respected Lola and her and some of them even compared her with Lauren. But that didn't matter. The girl they worshiped was nothing but a loser! She was the true heir! "Yeah. After all these years..." Lola stared off into space and her eyes glistened with ruthlessness, "the winners are the ones who survive. No one can ever compete with us anymore, Janice, from now on, we're the most prestigious people in the tribe and you'll be the Luna and the heir."

"That bitch is just as dumb as her mother," Janice snorted, "I'm dying to see the look on Lauren's face and I'll be thrilled if she's devastated or outrageous!"

"Alright, Janice, enough about her. She's lost her marriage and her family. She has no one to count on and lost everything. Who is she to compete with you?" Lola laughed, "right now, what you should focus on are Michael and your father. How're things with you and Michael recently?"

Janice froze and then sneered smugly, "He's such a dumbass. If I don't need this marriage, I don't even wanna get near a guy like him. But thank god he's a moron, it's a piece of cake for me to coax him. Now that I have my father's word, even alpha Kean has become nicer to me."

"Kean has changed his attitude towards you?"

"Yeah," Janice lifted her dress and sat down. She started picking a ring in her jewel box and said with contempt, "Kean is also fake as hell. He's been telling us that he needs to look after his friend's daughter for the sake of their friendship but she's gone for years and friendship means nothing when it comes to benefits. A woman who doesn't have his son's love and the inheritance in the tribe and a woman who wins his son's heart and can bring benefits to his tribe. Which one do you think he's gonna choose?" The answer couldn't be clearer.

Lola couldn't stop smirking. She picked up a pearl necklace on the table and slowly put it around Janice's slender neck, "Of course it's you, my pearl."

They looked at each other in the mirror and burst into laughter.

But Janice thought of what Lauren said in the ward and asked confusedly, "Mother, Lauren doesn't have anything on us, does she? Like the thing her stupid mother left her..."

"Rest assured. That woman is dead and gone now. How could she have time to..." Lola paused for a second and smoothly changed the subject, "Lauren doesn't have anyone to count on anymore. Just sit tight and wait for the day to inherit the Blanco Group. You should better start thinking about what to wear for that day. I'll give you my sapphire necklace. Janice, my child, you're gonna ascend to that throne of power and embrace everyone's respect and admiration. At that time, not to mention Lauren..." Lola put her most pricey sapphire necklace that Manuel gave her on Janice's neck and said word by word, "everybody has to look up to you."

"Don't worry, mother," Janice softly put her hand on Lola's with her eyes glistening, "once I become the heir, I'll ask father to give you a title."

Lola sneered.

Three days later.

The meeting was held as scheduled.

The spacious conference room was filled with the most important people in the Blanco Group. Janice was sitting next to alpha Manuel, dressed formally with her hair tied up. She was wearing the precious sapphire necklace on her fair neck, and her makeup heavier than ever, nothing like the natural makeup she used to wear. Janice seemed to be showing everyone in this way that her status was going to be different from now on.

To be honest, she was so nervous and thrilled right now that her hands were trembling slightly. She had been trying to disguise herself for so long and was finally going to get what she longed for. Lauren was nothing! She was nothing but a loser! Janice couldn't wait to show off in front of Lauren and see the look on her face when she crawled on the floor, begging for mercy. She wanna see if Lauren could still act so pretentious!

But now, Janice held back excitement and looked at Manuel with a gentle smile.

Alpha Manuel nodded at her silently.

"Since we are all here, this shareholders' meeting officially begins," alpha Manuel had been managing the tribe for so many years and had a certain authority. With these words, the conference room suddenly went quiet as he spoke in a deep voice, "I believe you all have received the message that the topic of this meeting is about the selection of the heir."

"Yes, we have heard that you want to make Janice your heir," one of the shareholders said, but then he looked at Janice frigidly, "but your father and Luna had a deal back then, didn't they?"

This old man was well respected in the tribe and knew about the disputes of the past, so he was asking that question for the sake of Lauren.

Someone agreed with him, "Yeah, your father had already decided who should be the heir."

"Besides, this lady's identity isn't like Lauren's at all. Miss Lauren is the one who's your and Luna's bloodline."

They were implying that Janice was just a bastard.

When it came to her identity, Janice's eyes darkened but she soon calmed herself down and said with a smile, "The heir should be the one who's capable enough, right? Ladies and gentlemen, Lauren has made it clear that she's leaving the tribe and father only made this decision for the sake of your benefit. I believe having me as the successor will also make our bond with the Lunarko Tribe even deeper."

At times like this, Janice didn't wanna play nice anymore and cut to the chase. She believed profits were the only thing that could impress people.

Just as she expected, no one brought Lauren up again except for that old man. He stubbornly insisted, "Then has Lauren agreed to let Janice be the heir?"

Alpha Manuel sounded to be regretful but his face was cold as ice, "Since Lauren has already made the decision to leave the Blanco family, I'll have to respect her decision. As her father, I'll give her some compensation. But as the alpha of the tribe, I have to do what's best for the tribe and the group. I'll transfer my shares to Janice and let her gradually learn how to run the company. I hope you guys can help her out and give her some guidance."

And if Lauren turns down the compensation, there's not much he can do about it. Manuel thought to himself. He had given Lauren a lot of chances and he was kind enough not to banish her as her father.

"Then, I announce Janice Blanco my...."

Janice couldn't resist her excitement anymore and couldn't wait to stand up. She was so thrilled that her heart was gonna pop out of her throat. Just as she was about to get up, someone interrupted her in a cold voice, "Wait.

If you're gonna give my and my mother's shares to Janice, shouldn't you ask about my opinion first, father?"

Lauren pushed open the door and coldly glanced at Manuel and Janice. She was calm and her aura was stronger than ever. Right now, even though Janice had gotten all dressed up, she looked weak and unconvincing in front of Lauren and got a bit frightened by the looks Lauren gave her. Even alpha Manuel was a bit intimidated by her and stopped talking.

Everyone in the room had the same feeling.

That's right. This should be the true heir.
