BuzzNovel“Sir, Miss lleana is back.”
“Send her in-now!” Even with the door closed, Scott's fury was impossible to miss. Ileana flinched, nerves
trembling as she pushed the study door open. She had barely stepped inside when something heavy hurtled her
way-a glass ashtray cflying, striking her shoulder with a sickening thud.
She cried out in pain, tears springing to her eyes.
The butler, unfazed, quietly shut the door behind her and gestured for one of the maids to pick up the shattered
ashtray from the hallway.
Inside, the study reeked of smoke. Paperwork and folders were scattered in disarray across the floor. Ileana stood
shaking, eyes lowered, not daring to meet Scott's gaze.
“lleana, did my warning just go in one ear and out the other?” Scott’s voice made
her tremble even harder.
“I-1 didn’t...” she stammered, her protest so small and pitiful it only made Scott angrier.
“Didn’t you?” he snapped, voice rising. “You left our guest alone in the dining room, and you dared to give
Raleigh attitude?”
“Are
you just tired of having too much money, is that it?!”
Instinctively, Ileana clutched the strap of her purse, as though afraid Scott might snatch her bank cards away
right then and there.
“Useless! Absolutely useless! All you do is spend money-can you do anything else? The only thing you're good
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfor now is keeping Raleigh happy, so he'll invest in Tate Holdings. Do you understand me?”
Scott's anger only grew as he looked at his daughter's timid, cowering demeanor.
“Ill give you one week. If you can’t get Raleigh to hand over that investment willingly, then you can pack your
bags and leave the Tate family. Go back to whatever gutter you crawled out of.”
lleana’s head shot up, disbelief etched across her face. In this moment, Scott was nothing but a cold-blooded
businessman. Nothing but profit interested him-not even his own daughter.

“Dad! I'm your flesh and blood!”
“Do you know what really sets you apart from Alessia?” Scott still called her “Alessia,” not because he accepted
her, but because he simply couldn’t be bothered to care what she called herself these days.
But Illeana misunderstood, her voice rising in desperation.
“She’s Alessia, Alessia! She goes by Alessia now, not Alessia!” she screamed, nearly hysterical.
“She could be Tate or Morton, all because | allow it. But you-do you even deserve to be a Morton anymore?”
lleana’s eyes went wide, words catching in her throat.
“Get out of my sight. Remember-one week. If you can’t even manage that, then you're worthless to me.”
Scott's words echoed endlessly in lleana’s mind.
Numb, she wandered back to her
room and dropped into the chair at
her desk. She opened for laptop

Within minutes, Illeana had found someone on social media willing to sell her an account. She sifted through
everything she could find about Alessia.

out wherever she went. There were
