Chapter 311
A resounding slap echoed through the room, catching Sharon off guard and sending her sprawling to the floor. Her cheek reddened and swelled instantly.
“Maeve! How dare you hit my mom?” James shouted, rushing to defend Sharon.

But Maeve, calm and composed, met his outery with another slap. James tried to retaliate but was swiftly overpowered by Zion’s men, who pinned him to the ground.
Crouching beside James, Maeve locked eyes with him as he struggled. “Don’t think I don’t know those photos were of your doing.” James glared at her. “So what if they are? Are you going to send me to jail again? You selfish, vicious woman!
“You took everything from me! Isn’t that enough?! Now you want to destroy me, too! Let me tell you, I’m not that easy to crush!” James tried to break free, but one of the men resisted James and punched him hard. “Stay down!”
The blow instantly silenced him
Maeve, seeing James‘ defeated state, scoffed. “I let things slide before because you’re Uncle Phil’s son. But that doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want.
“Listen carefully, James. My father was the one who built the Scott family, and I’m the rightful heir. My position is not for you to covet.” “Nonsense! The Scott family is mine! Maeve, do you have any conscience left? Did you forget who took you in when your parents died? It was my dad! After all my dad did for you, you treat me like this? You ungrateful—”
“Smack!” Another slap interrupted him.
Sharon rushed to shield James, shouting, hysterically at Maeve, “Maeve! You’re going overboard! He’s your brother!”
“Brother?” Maeve’s voice was cold. “Did he think of me as a sister when he tried to kill me? Or when he sent those photos after sending me to Sergio’s bed?”
She stared coldly at Sharon. “I should have told you long ago. I brought my father’s wealth into this family, not vice versa.
“You didn’t support me. I supported you guys instead, so don’t lecture me about morals. You two don’t have the right to do so!”
James’s face was drained of color. “Stop your nonsense! Maeve, you’re just after the Scott family’s assets. Well, let me tell you, my dad has already given it to me!
“I’m going to remove you from the family registry. You won’t be the Scott family’s eldest daughter anymore, and you can forget about being in charge!”
Maeve frowned. “Where’s Uncle Phil? What have you done to him?”
Philip would never hand over the family assets to a prodigal like James, Something was definitely off Sharon’s guilty expression confirmed it. Maeve grabbed Sharon by the collar, her eyes blazing with anger. “Where is he? Tell me now!”
“I–I don’t know… I don’t know!!
Zion, sensing the urgency, ordered his men, “Search the house!”
“Yes, sir!” Zion’s men began a thorough search of the Scott Manor.
Maeve’s anxiety peaked, spreading chills to every corner of her body.
She had anticipated Sharon and James might target her but hadn’t considered they would harm Philip, who had always been kind and lenient to them. How dare they harm their own family!
“Found him!” Someone shouted, and Maeve immediately released Sharon and rushed towards the basement,
There, Philip w
was found bound, with tape over his mouth and dried blood on his forehead. He was barely conscious as his breathing was taint Seeing him, Maeve urgently called out, “911… Call 911! Hurry!”
