Mr. Grant Treats Me Like a Treasure-Chapter 554 - 553: Left with Nothing

The car drove away, and Serena Sullivan spoke up.

"Serena, that car deliberately hit us."

"I know."

Serena replied, thinking how a driver who crashed into another car could still be so arrogant—clearly, someone instructed him!

He kept mentioning "The Dowager Kane" over and over; it goes without saying that she was the one behind this.

"I’m curious who the old lady in the backseat is."

This was what Serena wanted to ask about.

Ever since arriving in the Imperial Capital, the person she had offended the most was Mrs. Sterling.

That car wasn’t cheap, and from what the driver said, the old lady in the backseat had a high status in the Imperial Capital.

Who could it be? Serena had a candidate in mind but wasn’t sure.

"I’ll look into it."

Ethan Grant made a call, giving Yvette Sterling the car’s license plate number to check. As expected, it matched Serena’s guess.

"The Dowager Kane!"

"Mrs. Sterling’s biological mother!"

"She acted really fast!"

Serena chuckled lightly; she had just confronted Mrs. Sterling at the Prestons, and now, during a meal, she ran into The Dowager Kane.

"They must have noticed us in the restaurant," Ethan analyzed.

Serena’s legs and appearance were easily recognized by The Dowager Kane, so after they finished eating, she followed them out and had the driver hit them on the road.

The Kane Family really dared to do this; did they fear not injuring Ethan and his team?

Thinking about Mrs. Sterling’s attitude towards Serena at the Prestons, and now this incident with The Dowager Kane, Ethan frowned and said worriedly, "From now on, you have to take me with you to any event in the Imperial Capital."

He couldn’t stand anyone saying a bad word about Serena, let alone seeing anyone bully her.

Whoever dared to bully Serena, even if it was someone powerful, he wouldn’t allow it.

"Hmm, it’s okay." Ethan was too busy, and Serena didn’t want to burden him because of her.

"Serena, this is no joking matter." Ethan’s voice deepened, his tone firm.

He didn’t know why, but in the Imperial Capital, he felt like Serena was in a den of wolves and tigers.

Mrs. Sterling was The Dowager Kane’s daughter, and twenty years ago, the Kane Family was the leading power in the Imperial Capital.

Even if their status had declined over twenty years, they were still feared by everyone.

Because...

"Serena, did you know? A majority of The Sterling Corporation’s shares are controlled by the Kane Family."

This is the most terrifying part!

No matter how far the Kane Family falls, or how well The Sterling Corporation develops in the Imperial Capital, it all belongs to the Kane Family; in other words, Simon Sterling is essentially working for them.

"In the hands of the Kane Family?"

Serena was shocked; she looked up at Ethan in confusion.

"Yes."

Ethan said, "The Kane Family doesn’t interfere with Simon Sterling controlling The Sterling Corporation, but they hold the absolute majority of shares."

"If one day, Simon Sterling divorces June Kane, he will have nothing left!"

It wouldn’t just be Simon Sterling with nothing, but the entire Sterling Family.

One can only imagine how extensive these entangled interests must be.

"Why are the shares of The Sterling Corporation in the hands of the Kane Family?"

Serena was even more puzzled, suddenly thinking of how James Sterling’s family and Mindy Sterling weren’t working in their own company but started businesses elsewhere.

Could it be because most of The Sterling Corporation’s shares were in the hands of the Kane Family?

"That, I’m not sure." Ethan was also shocked when he found out.

Even if twenty years ago, Simon Sterling gave The Sterling Corporation’s shares as a bridal gift to marry June Kane, he wouldn’t have given that much.

"If you want to know, I can check it out."

Serena shook her head, "We probably can’t find out."

Even if we find out, it surely won’t be the truth.

"Serena, I’ll be there to protect you!"
