Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Thirty minutes later, Penny left Yana’s room with red eyes.

She had only taken a few steps when she ran into Eason.

Penny quickly turned her head, trying to hide her emotions.

Eason sighed, “Enough with the pretense, I already know.”

“Know what?” Penny whispered softly, “Eason, please move aside, I was about to go back to my room.”

Eason looked at her. “The maids told me that Yana has been giving you a hard time.”

“How could they tell you that? It tarnishes the princess’s reputation.” Penny became anxious and looked up.

Then, she revealed the handprint on her face.

Eason’s expression changed instantly. “She hit you?”

Penny hurriedly shook her head. “No, no, it was just an accident.”

“You accidentally hit yourself?” Eason’s voice became solemn. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Penny’s eyes became even redder. “Eason, please don’t ask anymore. In any case, it’s just a misunderstanding.”

Eason furrowed his brows. “I’ll go and ask her to find out the truth.”

Penny anxiously grabbed him. “Eason, Yana is already asleep. She just gave birth and is still in her confinement period. Women during this period have fluctuating hormone levels and can be moody. If

you go and ask her about this trivial matter, won’t you hurt her feelings?”

Eason pressed his lips.

Penny continued, “Eason, Yana has finally returned. Please don’t hurt her feelings, It’s okay. It’s really nothing. Let’s go.”

Penny boldly grabbed Eason’s hand and coquettishly pleaded.

and acted spoiled.

Eason sighed, “Let’s go, I’ll apply some medicine for you.”

“Thank you, brother.” Penny showed a happy smile.

The lights dimmed.

Eason carefully applied transparent medicine to her face.

Penny stared at him intently.

The closer she got to Eason, the stronger her ambitions grew.

Before, she only wanted to be able to see him.

Now,

, she wanted to be openly and honestly together with him.

Initially, she didn’t have many expectations.

But Yana’s appearance somehow gave her a glimmer of hope.

Someone like Yana fundamentally couldn’t fit into the Nicholas family.

Her presence couldn’t shake Penny’s position.

Additionally, Penny had evidence of her impersonating the princess, so Yana could only be completely obedient

to Penny.

Yana’s appearance also brought other benefits.

Firstly, her own modesty and elegance would be showcased in contrast to Yana’s arrogance and haughtiness.

Secondly, the Nicholas family’s biological daughter had returned, so she had a valid reason to sever her ties with the Nicholas family.

Penny had a good plan in mind.

The best outcome would be for her to not only escape the brother–sister relationship with Eason but also to continue living in Nicholas‘ Manor and receive the love and affection of everyone.

Then, she could slowly plan to turn her identity as his sister into that of a lover!

She believed that with her cunning tactics, this was not an impossible feat.

She thought, “Oh, Yana, Yana, I really should thank you for being an imposter!”

The next day, during breakfast, Yana started another tirade, subtly mocking Penny.

The Nicholas family members frowned, and Penny’s eyes turned red, but she kept her head down and didn’t dare to say a word.

When Yana returned to her room, Jane couldn’t help but ask, “Yana, what are you doing? We can plan and proceed slowly to deal with Penny. It seems a bit rushed to confront her openly in front of the Nicholas family

members.”

Yana smiled bitterly and said, “Mom, do you think this is what I want?”

Jane looked at her, puzzled.

Yana looked around and lowered her voice. “Penny is not an innocent little rabbit at all. Last night, she came to

find me. She knows that Susan is the real princess and that I am just a substitute. She used this to threaten met and forced me to oppress her in front of the Nicholas family members, creating a pitiable image for herself.”

Jane was stunned. “How did she know?”

Yana was also frustrated. “Who knows? You and Dad kept saying that this matter was a secret, but it seems like quite a few people know. Even Isabella, who has no connection to us, knows. And this Penny found out as well. Now I’m worried. Can we really deceive everyone?”

Jane also felt uneasy.

But at this point, they had no retreat.

She forced herself to say, “What’s the big deal? The test results are out. Can’t they believe it? Although Penny knows, she not only didn’t expose us, but she also secretly made a deal with you. To a certain extent, she has betrayed the Nicholas family. So, she has evidence against us, but we also have evidence against her. We are on

Emergency

the same boat now.”

Yana thought for a moment and nodded, saying, “You’re right.”

Her body hadn’t fully recovered yet. After the commotion at the dining table and this conversation, she was feeling tired.

Jane looked at her yawning and couldn’t help but say in a low voice, “Yana, now your dad is not here. We have to make decisions on our own. There is something I think we should discuss.”

“Mom, go ahead,” Yana said.

Jane hurriedly said, “These days, Ben has been getting more and more out of hand! People from the company. told me that the stock prices of both companies have plummeted. The Miller Group is one thing, but your husband actually signed a charity agreement. We have to donate ten million dollars

every year with his shares. But now, your dad is in jail, and we don’t know anything about business. How can we come up with ten million dollars? If we can’t, the shares will be forcibly sold.”

Yana listened with a headache. “We’re going to Tonico anyway. We’ll just sell them. No matter how much the stock price has dropped, we can still sell it for ten million dollars.”

“I have already entrusted someone to sell the stocks. We have ten million dollars. But things are not that simple,” Jane continued, “When your dad was managing the company… Ahem, he secretly transferred some money from the company’s accounts. We not only have to deduct the ten million dollars, but we also have to pay back that money now. And… our money may not be enough.”

Yana fell silent for a moment. “How much money did he transfer?”

Jane’s face carried a hint of guilt. “Not much, just forty million dollars.”

Yana looked at her in shock.

Jane lowered her head, unable to meet her gaze. “Yana,

Yana’s expression changed. “Resolve? How do you expect me to resolve it? Because I trusted you and Dad, ! handed over everything that Timothy left behind to you! Dad promised me that he would run the company well and earn a fortune for me and my unborn child. But what happened? The company is gone, and we are in a huge

amount of debt?”

Jane said softly, “Your dad didn’t do it on purpose. At that time, there was a great opportunity where he could make three or four times the profit by investing. Your dad wanted to earn more money, so he transferred the company’s funds. He didn’t expect the project to suddenly start losing money right after he invested. Your dad refused to give up and wanted to wait a little longer. But all the money ended up being lost.”

Jane’s voice became quieter as she spoke.

Yana’s head ached instantly, and she cried out in despair, saying, “So what’s the use of telling me all this now?”

Jane thought of something as she spoke the following words.

Yana fell silent for a moment. “How much money did he transfer?”

Jane’s face carried a hint of guilt. “Not much, just forty million dollars.”

Yana looked at her in shock.
