Factions within the company were restless, each vying for power in the absence of Joshua. He was the only one keeping them in check. The whispers of betrayal and ambition crept through the halls like a storm on the horizon. Molly leaned against her desk, a mocking smile on her lips."You think you’re something special, don’t you?" she laughed, her voice dripping with sarcasm."You’re just a nobody, a lost orphan. If it weren’t for the Anderson family, you’d be begging for scraps."Joshua’s eyes narrowed at her words.He knew she was trying to get under his skin, but he had learned from her father, the patriarch of the Anderson family.Molly rolled her eyes, unfazed. "We’re about to tie the knot with the Northridge family. Charlie is everything you’re not. He’ll make this family strong, unlike you."Her laughter echoed, cutting through the silence of the office. "And when that happens, you’ll see just how irrelevant you really are."Her words stung, but Joshua remained composed. He ha

Molly lifted her chin, a proud smile tugging at the corners of her mouth.“Charlie isn’t just anyone,” she declared.“He’s from the Northridge family—one of the finest names in the capital.

He slammed a hand down, the impact rattling the wine glasses and silverware. “Robert, this is outrageous,” he hissed. “You dare to threaten me?”But Robert didn’t back down. His eyes narrowed, a fierce intensity burning in them as he shot back, “I’m not threatening you. I’m standing up for the truth, for the man who built this state’s security!”His voice echoed, ringing with conviction before he turned and strode out of the room, leaving Calvin fuming.The tense silence finally broke as Charlie turned to Molly and Calvin, his face set with steely determination.“Don’t worry about Robert.
