Candace who had been crying finally wiped her tears and looked at Vivian, slightly gaining back her confidence, “My plan had a defect. I believe that Gerald is more capable of getting through with this. If he can get through the Reed family, he might have a higher chance and we might just get close enough to seal the deal. But if I intend to go directly, I might not be allowed to even see the manager.” Vivian breathed in, trying to conceal her anger, but it was obvious that she could not. Candace had completely gotten on her nerves. “Look here, Candace. You have one job to do, get us a share of the Genesis project. So, I want you to answer this question and I am not going to ask twice. For each answer you give, there will be repercussions. So, choose wisely. Candace Owens, will you get us signed into the Genesis project? Yes or No?” Candace went silent. Her head went blank. This was a test. If she said Yes, she would be putting herself in a position where she must achieve a suc

“Are you joking, Mother? You really are electing a new head for Davenport?” Enrique asked, looking furious. He was the first son and legally had all the rights to the entire empire. Vivian turned her steely gaze on her furious son. “I am very serious, Enrique. This family needs a leader who can deliver results, not just someone who thinks he’s entitled by birthright.” Enrique’s face flushed with anger, his fists clenching at his sides. “I’ve worked for this family all my life. I deserve this position more than anyone else here!” Gerald, leaning back with a smug expression, interjected, “Well, Enrique, looks like you’ll have to prove it now, won’t you?” The room was charged with tension, eyes darting between Vivian, Enrique, and Gerald. Anita and Rebecca exchanged nervous glances, while Donald tried to mask his surprise with a calm facade. He was the type who would cause trouble and then jump out when it became too tense. Nathan observed the power struggle, feeling an odd mixtur

“You ungrateful bastard!" Gerald's voice was a low growl, simmering with fury and hatred. "How dare you lay a hand on my brother! You've just signed your own death warrant, Collins Frost." The rest of the Davenport family stood behind Gerald, their faces masks of shock and outrage. This was not just a family dispute; this was a declaration of war. War against a dog and its master. Nathan, breathing heavily from the confrontation, looked at Gerald and the others with defiance. "I did what I had to do. Enrique was trying to hurt Candace. I couldn't just stand by." "Lies!" Enrique spat from the floor, still clutching his bruised groyne. "He attacked me without provocation. He's trying to destroy this family from the inside." Vivian pushed her way to the front, her eyes filled with cold fury. Her palm kissed Nathan’s face with a thunderous slap, "Collins, you have overstepped your boundaries for the last time. You have no place here, and you certainly have no right to raise your ha

“What?!” Nathan asked in flabbergast. “Yes, Nathan. When your stepbrother, Alex, came into play, I could have sent him back to where he came from and protected your legacy as I would my son, but I needed you to be free from the Reed Empire. The Reed Empire is too small for a man like you, and protecting you from a man like Alex would be degrading. So, I sent you here to Mexico to toughen up, to be a man. 5 years was the plan!” Everything Nathan was hearing kept bashing his brain, leaving him in a state of shock and disbelief. He couldn't process the words coming from Elon’s mouth. It was like his whole life had been manipulated, orchestrated by someone he thought he could trust. “Why? Why would you do that to me?” Nathan's voice trembled, a mix of anger and confusion. “Because I needed to make sure you were ready,” Elon replied, his tone steady. “Ready to handle the weight of my empire, ready to face the world with the strength and resilience that only hardship can forge. The

“This is an emergency meeting indeed. I told you all to get ready for meetings like these, you never know. All of you, get your asses ready. Today, we leave for London!” she announced bluntly, sending shocking waves across the room. “What?! But its not Saturday yet.” Anita first spoke up. “I still have so much things to do prior to the journey. You wouldn’t want me going there with an old car and this messy hair of mine!” “True, mother, this information is coming in too suddenly. You should have informed us beforehand so we can prepare ourselves.” Donald added. Every other person in the room began to lament. Well, except Candace who sat quietly, ready to adhere to any decision that would be made. Afterall, she had no life of her own. “Oh you fools! You all sleep like sloths at night while I work my ass off to ensure this family -this company expands and grows larger than it is. You don’t seem to have heard the news, haven’t you?” “What news, mother?” Enrique asked. “Elon
