The Baddest Villainess Is Back - Chapter 135
In principle, family meetings are not postponed as long as the head of the family, the deputy head, or the proxy head is present.
This meeting was no exception.
Even without Devon Bellion, the head of the family, Zerti Bellion, the deputy head, was there.
As the deputy head, he had to lead and make decisions in the meeting. Postponing it would only invite criticism.
So Roxelyn did everything she could to interfere in the meeting.
âIf you invest in this, even I, youw daughter, will be cwiticized.â
âIf you choose this, you’we an idiot.â
âThis is nonsense.â
âThis is gawbage.â
âIf you think this mine is going to be a big hit, why don’t you buy it youwself instead of asking the family to?â
Roxelyn gave her indifferent advice while resting her chin on her hand.
Whenever someone tried to explain something, she would snicker and make a dismissive comment, leaving them at a loss for words.
If they tried to argue, she would calmly and accurately refute them with her short tongue, and she was always right.
Moreover, her eyes, filled with contempt, made everyone frustrated.
âWell, it must be nice for the deputy head to have a daughter who is so similar to him. Judging by her personalityâŚâ
âItâs possible that the unprecedented hail and heavy rain that delayed the head of the family, who has never been late before, is all due to a curseâŚâ
Already suffering from low self-esteem due to his unfortunate childhood, Zerti Bellionâs brow furrowed further.
âHaha, what I meant wasâŚâ
âBullsh-t.â
The vulgar word that flowed from the young childâs mouth caused the entire conference room to freeze.
ââŚWhat?â
ââŚRoxelyn?â
âItâs only natuwal for pawents and childwen to wesemble each othuh?â
Roxelyn snorted.
âBut, Fathew and I awenât alike. Iâm not this gloomy.â
ââŚâ
The meeting room fell silent at Roxelynâs clear boundary-setting. Everyone seemed at a loss for words.
âThatâs a bit too muchâŚâ
Some even began to pity the pale-faced Zerti Bellion.
And soon, as a purple mist began to spread in the chilly conference room, they hastily packed up.
âWell, it seems thatâs all for the agenda!â
âYes! Letâs wrap it up for today!â
âThank you for your efforts!â
They hurried out of the conference room.
âFathew.â
ââŚYes.â
âI think Iâm poisoned.â
Roxelynâs body wobbled and then collapsed forward.
âRoxelyn!â
A panicked Zerti quickly controlled his Abyss and held Roxelyn in his arms, pouring an antidote into her mouth.
âGet a doctor! Call a doctor!â
He shouted urgently.
A week later.
Devon Bellion arrived a week later than expected because the overflowing river currents had delayed him.
And he erupted in fury upon seeing the documents full of unknown investments.

âSo, you proceeded with everything based on the childâs words?â
âYes.â
âHave you gone senile already, Dean?â
Devon Bellion scoffed as he asked.
Dean could have pretended not to know and delayed things a bit.
ButâŚ
âYou proceeded with everythingâŚ?â
âThere are rumors that the young lady has been very insightful lately.â
âYouâve been by my side all this time, do you think Iâm the type to believe in such nonsense?â
Fortunately, none of the investments required large amounts of money.
Everything had been distributed appropriately within the expected budget.
In other words, there wasnât much to be angry about.
âHmph, I need to see this cheeky granddaughter myself.â
Dean shrugged his shoulders.
It was only then that Dean, realizing Devon Bellionâs sly intent, nodded silently.
âI would like to take you to her right away, but the young lady is currently not in good health.â
