Seducing the Mafia Boss Chapter 13

My heart was exhausted, but I still had to patiently deal with these bastards.

"I had an accident recently. Uncle was worried the company would have no one managing it and took over my position without authorization—I can understand that."

"But now that I'm back, shouldn't what originally belonged to me be returned?"

Uncle rotated the prayer beads in his hand, looking at me with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.

"Uncle is thinking of you."

"You're a girl. You should focus on family and raising children."

"Always being so competitive will make your in-laws dislike you."

I didn't even have a dating prospect yet, but had to observe some ridiculous women's virtue for a non-existent in-law family.

I naturally refused, taking out my contributions to the company during this period and the stocks I held, wanting to argue with them based on reason.

But no matter how hard I tried, it had no effect.

They used gender to easily negate all my efforts.

Among those opposing me were my relatives and subordinates I'd personally promoted.

Because of gender, men seemed born to stand on the same battle line.

While women had always had little voice. I was destined to fight alone.

My voice arguing based on reason was all drowned out by these men's loud voices.

Seeing me arguing until my face was pale, Lucas felt terrible and couldn't help leaning to my ear with a soft suggestion.

"Ms. Shaw, maybe we should give up for today."

"There are too many of them. We can't out-argue them. Let's wait and plan for the future."

The future.

If I chose to give up today, would there be a future?

I helplessly shook my head: "Retreating now will only let them divide my authority even more cleanly."

Lucas really wanted to help me, but even I couldn't control such a scene.

His single voice would only seem even more insignificant.

Uncle took in our expressions, couldn't help smugly curving his lips.

Such a powerless scene made me unable to help but want to retreat.

Just then, sudden commotion came from outside the door.
