CEO's Revengeful Queen novel Chapter 17

Every day, he would speak ill of Caleb in front of her and even show her the evidence of Caleb flirting with other girls. She had felt that Kevin had been trying to frame Caleb and had deliberately distanced herself from her uncle. But even so, her uncle still treated her very well. 

He was the first one to stand up for her when the White family bullied her.

In her previous life, because she had leaked the company secrets, her grandfather's company had been forced to announce bankruptcy after his death. Caleb had brought a group of people to acquire the Powell Group and had called her a dog raised by the Powells' in front of her uncle Kevin.

Although she had indeed done something wrong, uncle Kevin had still been red with rage when he heard Caleb say such awful things about his niece. He went forward to fight with Caleb and had endured a bashing by his men. He had been seriously injured and paralyzed by that beating.

In the end, he had been killed by Hunk and Aunt Francine in the fight for the family property. 

Uncle Kevin... Annetta was visibly moved when she looked at the person in front of her. In her previous life, she had let him down. Annetta clenched her fists when she saw how uncle Kevin defended her. 

In this life, not only did she want to live well, but she also wanted to protect those who loved her. She was willing to become his most powerful support if her uncle wanted to be a playboy and live innocently and recklessly for the rest of his life.

Carla's pouted when Kevin appeared. The people around them began to mutter again.

"That's right. Don't the White family have any shame? Not only did they show up uninvited, they even tried to claim family ties!"

"Does she think she can call Old Master Lorin 'Grandpa' at will?"

Cicely was furious when she saw her daughter being spoken to in such a manner. She took her anger out on Annetta.

She walked forward and said, "Old Master Lorin, you probably don't know it yet. Your beloved granddaughter did some shady things outside. She not only seduced the young master of the Harris family but also had an affair with the boss of WD!"

Kevin looked at Cicely and snapped, "Don't talk nonsense! Today is my father's 60th birthday. I'll deal with anyone who dares to spout hogwash at his birthday banquet!"  

Everyone knew that Kevin had always been unruly. He would beat up anyone he did not like, regardless of the person's background. 

Cicely was afraid when she faced this gangster-like man. She was a weaker than him, after all. 

"I'm not talking nonsense! I personally saw Annetta flirt with WD's boss over the phone just now!"

Another woman suddenly appeared in the crowd. She was Annetta's aunt, Lorin's second daughter, Francine.

The heavens seemed to have played a joke on them even though Flavia and Francine were sisters. Flavia had inherited all of her parents' strengths. She was the beautiful, kind, and smart sister that everyone loved.

No one knew who Francine inherited her traits from. She was the ugly, mean sister that everyone shunned. 

As a result, Francine hated Flavia very much, including Flavia's daughter Annetta.

In her past life, Aunt Francine had fought the most aggressively for the family property after Lorin Powell’s death. Her aunt and father had infuriated the conscious, but paralyzed Kevin to death by saying a whole bunch of exceptionally terrible things in front of him to prevent him from competing for the family property. In the end, Aunt Francine had gained the largest share of the property.

...

After Kevin's death, Hunk and Francine had seized all of Grandpa's property.

Annetta did not know that Francine had also been at WD earlier during her visit.

With all eyes on her, Francine walked to Lorin and said, "Dad, I saw Annetta fighting with Elizabeth, the young lady of the Rivera family, over a gown just now when I went to collect my gown."
