“He became famous twenty years ago, so he has to be at least in his late thirties or early forties.
Even though he’s a financial genius who’s worked countless miracles over the past two decades, God is fair.
The rumor is he’s hideously ugly, so he never lets reporters take his picture.
In all these years, I think only one magazine has ever interviewed him and published a photo of him from the side.
That issue had a global print run of only one hundred copies, and it sold out in less than ten seconds.
I’ve also heard he has a violent temper, is incredibly moody, and—most importantly—is impotent.
That’s why no woman can get close to him.”
“…” Phoebe said.
“That does sound fair.”
“Still, none of that matters, since he’s rich and powerful.
So, whether it’s high society or the entertainment industry, plenty of women still want to latch onto him.
Especially about five years ago, for some woman, he casually destroyed a family worth hundreds of billions with a global business empire.
After that, the business world was terrified to even mention his name.
Oh, right, what was his name again?
I think it was…
Julian Lennox.
Yes, Julian Lennox!
I remember thinking back then how cold his name sounded.
But his domineering style is actually pretty cool.
After all, there aren’t many people my brother admires.”
“That is pretty impressive,” Phoebe said.
The only reason she was reading the news about him was because for the past two days, the headlines had been flooded with negative reports about her.
Besides her own scandal, the only other major story was about this man.
Not wanting to read about herself, she was left with little other choice.
As they were watching, another breaking news alert suddenly popped up on the screen.
The headline blared in huge letters: “Faulkner Group CEO Holds Press Conference: Miss Faulkner Disowned!”
“Fuck, what the hell is going on?” Kitty shot up the second she saw the headline.
She immediately clicked on it, and a brand-new article and video appeared on the screen.
The person holding the press conference was Phoebe’s second uncle—Kenneth Faulkner.
In the video, Kenneth Faulkner spoke with an expression of profound heartache.
“I truly never imagined Phoebe could be such a promiscuous and shameless girl.
To think she’d accept being the kept woman of a man older than her own father—my older brother—just for an internship.
I have failed Phoebe’s parents.
I have failed the ancestors of the Faulkner Family.
I tried to help her change, and I spent a great deal of effort guiding her.
I thought she had learned her lesson, but I never expected it was all an act.
It seems a leopard can’t change its spots.
Now, she’s gone from bad to worse, committing this heinous act that has ruined a life.
All I can do now is endure the pain and sever all ties with her.
I hereby announce that from this day forward, Phoebe Faulkner is no longer my niece, and she will have no further relationship with the Faulkner Group.”
‘Uncle…’
Phoebe watched the video, her eyes widening in shock and utter disbelief at Kenneth Faulkner’s words.
‘H-how could this be happening?’
“What does he mean you have no relationship with the Faulkner Group?!
Phoebe, you own shares in the company!
What right does he have to kick you out?
I told you a long time ago, that uncle of yours is a piece of work!
If he’s going to disown you, you should disown him right back!”
Less than half an hour after Kenneth Faulkner’s press conference, another news alert popped up.
