chapter 11 Pretending to be indifferent

"Damn... When did this idiot son-in-law from the Cyrus family become so powerful?"
"Powerful my ass, he's just stupid, turning Mr. Benz into a eunuch. He's just waiting for Henrik's wrath!"
"The idiot son-in-law is stupid enough. He doesn't even use his brain before acting. Offending the Benz family, he won't survive. His wife won't have it easy either!"
Listening to the gossip of these onlookers, Rachit smirked. If someone asked these guys to send their wives to another man's bed, would they still stand there and talk without care?
Of course, these people are just small potatoes. Rachit didn't bother with them and calmly walked up to Donahue, who had fainted in pain.
"Too weak!" Rachit smirked. He returned to his table. He pocketed the check on the table and settled the bill. Then, he left Fragrant Sky Pavilion.
When settling the bill, he even voluntarily compensated for the table that was crushed by Donahue.
Just having earned 100,000 dollars, Rachit wasn't stingy at all.
As for Donahue who had fainted, Rachit naturally didn't care. Let those onlookers inform his father, who thought highly of him, to carry him back.
To be honest, sparing the bastard who dared to touch his wife. Rachit already considered himself merciful.
After all, his wife and sister-in-law were his bottom line, not to be defiled by others.
...
Cyrus Group.
In the CEO's office, Diana stared at the computer screen with her lively eyes, unmoving for a while. Eventually, she slowly closed her eyes. She leaned her head back on the chair, clearly exhausted.
The stock market had closed, but Cyrus Group had already lost 30,000,000 dollars early in the morning.
For three consecutive days, Cyrus Group had lost nearly 1 billion dollars.
It took her a year to increase Cyrus Group's market value from 2.5 billion dollars to 3 billion dollars. But in just three days, all her efforts had gone to waste.
This was an abnormal situation.
Diana knew that someone was targeting Cyrus Group. If things went as expected, it should be retaliation from Zeph against her.
Faced with such retaliation, she felt powerless. The powerful attack from the Berry family was something the small Cyrus Group couldn't withstand.
Was Cyrus Group going to be ruined under her leadership?
Diana opened her eyes slightly, a hint of despair in her gaze.
Despite always appearing indifferent to everything, did she truly not care?
If she didn't care, she wouldn't have taken over Cyrus Group.
Two years ago, after her father passed away, and was abandoned by her ex-boyfriend. She was feeling disheartened and hid in Spirit Village to teach at a primary school, leaving Cyrus Group in the hands of Eartha.
However, her despicable mother had reduced Cyrus Group's market value from nearly 10 billion dollars to just over 2 billion dollars.
Seeing Cyrus Group's market value plummet, Eartha panicked and eventually sought help from Zeph. She was hoping he would help to save Cyrus Group.
Zeph set a condition. She must marry Diana to him. Eartha agreed without hesitation, naively believing that with Zeph's help, Cyrus Group could be revived.
Little did she know, Zeph had ulterior motives. After marrying Diana, he slowly began to devour Cyrus Group.
Although Cyrus Group was insignificant in Zeph's eyes, even a mosquito, if it's meat, how could he let it go?
Although in Spirit Village, Diana had always kept an eye on Cyrus Group. She couldn't tolerate her father's hard work being destroyed by her mother, nor could she tolerate her mother betraying her to please the Berry family.
So she came back, and with a strong move, snatched control of the Cyrus Group from her mother. Over a year, the Cyrus Group slowly started to improve under her leadership. Just as she was hoping to bring the Cyrus Group back to a market value of billions, she didn't expect the retaliation from Zeph to come. It came so fiercely that she was completely defenseless.
Does she have to submit to Zeph?
Although she had completely forgotten that unfaithful person, the thought of the dirty things Zeph did behind her back made her feel disgusted. She clenched her fists slightly, reminding herself not to submit to Zeph, not to become a bastard's plaything.
"Thump, thump, thump..."
Urgent footsteps sounded, Diana's assistant Gemma rushed into her office, almost stumbling as she entered, hastily grabbing onto a chair in front of Diana's desk to steady herself.
Diana furrowed her brow and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Ms. Cyrus, just got news that the bank has canceled the loan to our Cyrus Group."
"How is that possible? Wasn't everything already agreed upon?" Diana was also surprised. She asked urgently.
"I just spoke with Mr. Tino from City Bank. He said that during the head office's approval process, they found that the information we provided was not accurate, so it wasn't approved."
Diana couldn't help but get angry. She slammed her hand on the desk and angrily said, "How could the information we provided be inaccurate?"
"Mr. Tino didn't specify the exact reason," Gemma said helplessly.
"Ugh... Berry's family's eldest son has some skills!" Diana sighed deeply. At this point, she knew very well that this was Zeph's doing behind the scenes.
But even if she knew, what could she do?
She simply had no way to deal with it. Even if she used all her connections, those connections probably wouldn't dare to help her deal with the Berry family, right?
It's not that she's incapable, but the Berry family's stronghold was truly a behemoth.
"What a load of crap!" a disdainful voice came from the doorway.
Diana furrowed her brow and looked up towards the door where Rachit was walking in.
"Why are you here?" Diana looked at Rachit strangely. Over the past year, this was the first time Rachit had come to the Cyrus Group.
To be honest, Diana didn't want to see Rachit in the company because she couldn't pretend to be indifferent anymore.
She didn't want Rachit to see the unmasked side of her.
"I was bored, so I came out for a walk. I don't know how, but as I was strolling, I ended up here," Rachit scratched his head.
"Don't you usually go to the park to meditate at this time?"
"I can talk now, why bother meditating?" Rachit laughed. He casually sat down on a chair in front of Diana's desk. Then, he turned to Gemma and said, "Beauty, make me a cup of tea!"
As Diana's assistant, Gemma naturally knew Rachit. Although she looked down on this son-in-law picked up by the boss, she still got up to make tea for Rachit.
