Travis arrived at the Manager Marshall's office and he opened it without knocking and without thought."Who the…" Manager Marshall's words hung as he saw Travis. He was in shock since he didn't expect his visit to the board room where a meeting was being held."Oh, did I – disturb anything?" Travis questioned.Manager Marshall shook his head. "Of course not, Master Travis. I was more shocked to see you here."Isaac, Helen, and his father, Calvin were there too, having an important meeting about a project coming up.Isaac stood up on his feet as he saw Travis. "What the hell is this bastard doing here?! So that guard was so useless that he let you walk in?!"Manager Marshall looked at Isaac. "Mind your words, boy!"Isaac looked at Manager Marshall. "I'm only telling the truth, Sir. That boy is a nobody and he shouldn't be here! He's not someone to be welcomed in here, believe me. He's got nothing, he's a rejected son-in-law living off of his wife! I mean, look at how he's dressed!!"Ma
Isaac looked up at Travis. The shock made his eyes resemble two full moons rising over the horizon. His mind was a maze, twisting and turning as he tried to make sense of the impossible realization.His father, Calvin couldn't also believe it but his shock wasn't the problem, it was the realization that he was about to lose everything. To lose his face in the corporate world.Not only that, more than half of Infinity Builders and Designs profits are made by the Danforth Group!If the contract is terminated, his family's strength and net worth would be cut by half.He could not accept this reality so he looked at his son in anger, pointed at him, and yelled, "Look at what you've done, son!! You have ruined the family!! Kneel and apologize, right now!!"He blinked rapidly, trying to clear the spots from his vision and bring the world back into focus, then he straightened up on his knees and squared his shoulders, like a soldier coming back to attention after a moment of confusion or dis
The next day, the news released by the Danforth group completely detonated the entire Grove City.Hearing that the Danforth Group made a decision to change hands, the Bloom family wanted to understand why the DuPont family was kicked out by the Danforth Group.They've been rumors going around that the heir of the Danforth group is back and has accepted his inheritance, could he be the one changing things instead?Infinity Builders and Designs have been working with Danforth Group for more than a year now, but they were kicked away in one fell swoop like trash in the mud.If that's the case, then this new heir must look down on small corporations. The funny thing is, Infinity Builders and Designs is not a small corporation and if that's the case, then a lot of corporations would have no chance.And now, the Danforth group wants to invest in a hotel project worth two billion dollars, it was enough to make the entire Grove City construction and decoration industries tremble.Two billion!
The night arrived.Travis and Joanna arrived at the Bloom family manor.Travis didn't need Joanna to explain why they were there. He knew that Madame Emma wants to discuss how they will get a share of the Danforth Group project.When he arrived at the manor, William immediately sneered when he saw them. He laughed mockingly and said, "So you had to bring the worthless piece of trash to stain our holy floors, ah Joanna?! As usual, so disappointing!!"Joanna rolled her eyes away, since she had no words to say to William.William laughed again. "Aww, look at you being quiet. I thought right now, you will be casting stones, Joanna! For such a worthless son of a bitch! You betrayed this family and you dare come back to take from us!! Ungrateful bastards!!"Little did he know that Joanna was trying to stop Travis from going wild on him."Maybe you should stop talking, Will. Grandma called the family here and I came with my husband. No big deal!" She retorted in annoyance before Travis could
"What?"Joanna's face was ashen at her grandmother's threat. It wasn't something unbelievable but she was shocked at the moment.Everyone turned to look at her, and Alison burst out laughing. "Oh wow, Grandma, that is so smart of you! She wouldn't be able to pull it off!""And it will be like killing two birds with one stone!" William added and began praising his grandma by applauding her.Joanna shook her head, finding it unacceptable. "Grandma, you can't do that! You can't use that to trap me when you know that dealing with Danforth will be impossible for me! How could you do this?!"Furious, Madame Emma said, "I do what I want, Joanna!! You want to be part of this family, then you follow my rules, do you understand?!"Joanna let out a shaky breath, and a sob escaped her. Her eyes were also becoming glossy as she tried so hard to withhold the tears threatening to escape from her eyes.Then James said, "It wouldn't be too much of a big deal, right? The way you succeeded in getting a c
Everyone looked at Travis like he was crazy.What the hell gave him the guts to do that?God, the guy is way more crazy than they thought.The land is a prime piece and the location in Harborview alone is worth every penny.

Throughout the night, Joanna was busy preparing the cooperation plan to achieve something everyone else considered impossible. She didn't waste any time at home the next morning.She just got up and left the house cause she had someone to meet. Someone who was gonna help her achieve this all thanks to Ashley and her way of making friends.Joanna arrived at a famous and expensive restaurant and immediately noticed how grand it was. The high ceilings and ornate chandeliers gave the place an air of elegance, and the spacious seating arrangements offered a comfortable and private dining experience.As she approached the table where Quentin Mellon was waiting, he stood up to greet her and they exchanged pleasantries before taking their seats. The menu arrived and they quickly placed their orders, both opting for the house special.Quentin couldn't stop looking at her. She was such a beauty and he was glad that in a way, he was able to get close to her all thanks to Ashley and he will not r
Joanna arrived at Golden Tower and looking at how tall the building was, she wondered how a company like Danforth Group could look at her or even give a damn about her.Going in there to negotiate a share of thirty million dollars from the project began to feel like she was a beggar going into a rich man's house to ask for thirty million which is totally stupid.She needed to summon the courage in her cause her life was on the line if she failed in the task. She can't fail. She's gonna have to try no matter what cause she will not lose to those people again. She will prove to her grandmother that she was more worthy than she thought.She took a deep breath and walked into the door of the Golden Tower after stating her business to one of the guards.Meanwhile, Travis called General Manager Marshall and said to him, “My wife will be in your office soon, Uncle Fred. You know what you should do.”“Yeah. You don't have to worry, Master Travis. She's family and I'll treat her as such.” Mana
