David’s face turned cold as he set down his fork. “Your sister had a project in her hands that was rejected by Galaxia Group. You need to find a way to get involved from within and help Glory Group secure this project.”
“Of course, after the matter is accomplished, you will also benefit from it. These years, you have been holding shares of Glory Group without receiving any dividends, right? As long as we can secure the project, the dividends from Glory Group can be given to you starting this quarter.”
Talia laughed coldly upon hearing these words.
The shares in her hand were given by her grandfather when he passed away.
Grandfather divided the shares into two equal parts, giving one to her and one to her brother Ryan Taylor, while David Maeve and Valerie did not receive any.
Because of those shares, Talia became one of the top three shareholders of Glory Group.
First is David, who held 10%. Talia and Ryan tied for second place, each holding 8%.
In the past few years, Glory Group has performed well, with quarterly dividends for shareholders every year. However, Talia’s account has received zero income.
Why?

Because of the incident that happened three years ago, David felt that he owed Valerie. As a result, he transferred all of his three years‘ worth of company dividends to Valerie’s card.
Talia turned her head and looked directly into David’s eyes. “So what you’re saying is, you want me to become a spy for you once I join Galaxia Group? That would mean I would be eating Galaxia Group’s food and breaking Galaxia Group’s dishes, wouldn’t it?”
To put it bluntly, I was a corporate spy. Do you think it’s appropriate? Or are you waiting for everything to be exposed, and then you’ll clap your hands and send me to jail?
David frowned, “This was a win–win cooperation, the project was secured, benefiting both Galaxia Group and Glory Group, and it wouldn’t harm you either.”
“Why doesn’t Galaxia Group sign with Glory Group if there are benefits? And why make me use such extreme methods?” Talia said coldly.
She mocked, “Wasn’t Valerie supposed to marry Kendrick? Your son–in–law is the manager of Galaxia Group Marketing Department.”
You went to find Valerie to whisper in her ear, it was just a contract, but Valerie couldn’t help you get it. After all these years, you spoiled an outsider, didn’t you spoil her in vain?
If the wind by the ear was useful, David wouldn’t have taken such a detour.
I don’t know how, but the contract got stuck with Kayson.
Kendrick couldn’t say a word in front of Kayson, according to

Valerie, Kendrick tried to approach Kayson several times, but was rejected.
David thought about it and shook his head, “Forget it, even something Kendrick couldn’t accomplish, you just joined Galaxia Group, I’m afraid you don’t have the ability either. I’ll think of another solution from somewhere else.”
The topic came to an end, and with David’s reminder, Talia suddenly remembered the dividends that had fallen into Valerie’s pocket.
Talia looked at David and said casually, “Starting from this quarter, Glory Group’s dividends were deposited into my card.”
David was taken aback and furrowed his brows, saying, “Those are what you owe Valerie, and you still have the audacity to ask for more?”
Talia laughed and said, “You keep saying that I owe Valerie, but what do I owe her? That incident three years ago was deliberately set up by her. On my birthday, I already made it very clear, didn’t I?”
It was you all who didn’t listen and didn’t believe, and I wasted three years of my youth in prison for nothing. It’s you, my mom, and Valerie, who owe me!
Taking a step back, even if that incident three years ago was truly my fault, Valerie came out completely unharmed, not even a single strand of hair lost. So, I ask, what do I need to compensate her for?
David was left speechless by Talia’s question, and then he coldly replied:

“Valerie has contributed so much to the company, those dividends are rightfully hers. You haven’t put in any effort, yet you still want a share of the company’s profits?”
Talia was speechless: “You’re right, I didn’t contribute, but the shares are mine! She doesn’t have any shares, it’s her own fault.”
So since you are speaking up for her, why don’t you give her your share of the profits? Shouldn’t you let her take it from my hands? One cannot be so two–faced, can they?
David confidently said, “Your sister spent money in many places. She was promoted to the position of deputy general manager of the project immediately. There are many social engagements outside that require money to take care of. You don’t have any places to spend money, and besides, why should our family care about these things?”
Talia heard this and smiled, “So you need to spend my money to consider me as family, huh? Even if I don’t have many places to spend it, just having it in my account makes me happy!”
David, you are biased like no other! Who is the biological child between Valerie and me?”
Upon hearing Talia call his name, David angrily slammed the table, “Disrespectful!”
“Starting from this quarter, my share of the group dividends, you transferred every single penny directly into my bank account,” Talia stood up and straightened her skirt.
“You should not think about taking subsidies for Valerie. As a shareholder, I had the right to examine the financial

statements of Glory Group.”
“Whenever there was a one–point difference, I would seek
legal action, David. I believe you wouldn’t want Glory Group to be sued because of this matter, would you?”
David’s face turned cold as he said, “Try calling me by my name again, I am your father!”
Talia asked, “Even if I called you dad, do you think you’re worthy of it?”
Perhaps it is true that nurturing is greater than birth, with the bond of being raised from a young age. No matter what happens, Talia is always the one who is overlooked by her parents.
Do you still remember many years ago when we were on vacation by the seaside, she and Valerie were both swept into the sea by the waves.
David and Maeve rushed towards Valerie without hesitation, even though Valerie could swim and was wearing a swimming ring.
What about Talia? Because the waves were too big and she was too nervous, she didn’t hold onto the swimming ring, and she was swept away by the waves and drowned. It was the lifeguard next to her who pulled her up.
The sea was very salty, and when the waves engulfed her, Talia felt a sense of awe towards nature.
From then on, she dared not go to the seaside anymore, and she even dared not go near the swimming pool.

The choice between two options when faced with danger is often the most genuine thought in one’s heart.
So since then, Talia knew that she was the unloved one in the Taylor family.
Looking back, Talia had a self–deprecating smile.
