James was seated at his desk, his fingers tapping lightly on the surface as he reviewed some reports. Bella entered the room with a folder in hand and set it down on the desk. "Your schedule for the day," she said, handing him the papers. "Meeting with the board at 3, and the international partners at 5." James barely glanced up, his mind elsewhere. "Thanks, Bella," he murmured, but his focus was clearly on something else. As she turned to leave, Bella caught sight of the headline flashing on his computer: "Drake Enterprises Faces Total Collapse; Evangeline Family Declares Bankruptcy." She stopped in her tracks and raised an eyebrow, a hint of a smile creeping onto her face. "Well, it looks like it’s finally over for them," She remarked casually, her tone filled with contentment. James didn’t look at her, but there was a certain satisfaction in his posture. He leaned back in his chair, his hands clasped behind his head. "They got what was coming to them," he said, his voice

Lilian adjusted her coat nervously as she and Mrs. Celestia approached the grand gates of the Sullivan estate. If they could establish a solid connection with the Sullivan household, it would resolve only 8% of the company's problems; however, it's still better than nothing. After focusing on the Sullivan household, Mrs. Celestia planned to get connections elsewhere.The Rosewood family was indeed very ruthless. They treated them so harshly that it would take years for them to recover, even if they managed to secure favorable deals with more powerful families and businesses.Lilian felt regret. If she had known the extent of Bella's family's power, she would have thought twice before seeking trouble. Now it was too late. The security guard at the gate gave a curt nod, recognizing Lilian immediately. “Is Mr Sullivan home?” Lilian asked. "Miss Lilian, Mrs. Celestia," he said, pressing a button to let them in. "Mr. Sullivan isn’t home, but Mrs. Sullivan is expecting you." Mrs. M

James didn't just let the Sullivan family off too. Remembering the torture and physical attacks, he was subjected to during his stay in prison was like fuel igniting the burning anger within him. He picked up his phone to deliver the final blow. He sent a message to Ethan, one of his most trusted men; his message was simple—Bring down sterling holdings. Ethan replied with “Yes Boss” and acted as soon as he got the message. It didn’t take up to 12 hours before the breaking news flashed across every major news channel: “STERLING HOLDINGS DECLARES BANKRUPTCY!” The news anchor’s voice was calm and professional, but the excitement in her tone was undeniable. “Sterling Holdings, one of the leading corporations in the country, has unexpectedly filed for bankruptcy. Sources reveal that the company’s stock prices plummeted in just a few hours due to an anonymous financial attack, leaving its investors in shock and chaos.” James sat in his leather chair, pouring himself a glass of r

James sat at his desk, looking over some documents. He was very focused as he signed papers and approved transfers. Ethan had just updated him on what happened after Sterling Holdings collapsed, and James was already planning his next steps.He suddenly thought about Lily. He had attended Lilian's wedding to see Lily and to ensure she was doing well but she wasn't even present that day. He signed another paper. On his large desk, papers still awaiting his signature were piled up like a small tower close to seven different places. James stood and stretched his stiff muscles, before glancing at the time. It was past noon. He grabbed his coat, knowing exactly where he needed to be. Lily’s school.Leaving Bella in charge, he stepped into his sleek black car. The driver knew the destination without being told.As they neared the nursery, James felt his heart quicken. He hadn’t seen Lily in a few months. It wasn’t his choice to stay away — Lilian’s family had made things difficult after t

James ended up spending time with his daughter for more than 4 hours. After eating ice cream, he took her to the park, where she played with a few kids her age, and then he brought her back to school.“Daddy, don't forget the promise you made!” Lilly beamed as she waved him goodbye. “I won't,” James said before turning to leave. He slid into the driver's seat of his car, pressed a button to close the door, and was about to start the engine when suddenly, his phone buzzed. Seeing Robert on the screen, James frowned. His father rarely called after his retirement unless it was important—or troubling.Reluctantly, he answered. "Hello, Robert?"Even to this day, James couldn't bring himself to call Robert "dad." He had tried again and again, but it just sounded foreign, so he finally gave up. However, he respected Robert.There was a long pause before his father’s voice broke through, filled with grief. Robert’s voice trembled as he tried to make out some words, “James… your mother… Evely

James took his daughter out for a father-daughter bonding moment as he promised and returned quickly afterward.It was finally time... The news spread like wildfire.Robert William’s declaration that he would reveal his successor shook the world to its core. Every major news outlet, website, and social media platform was filled with curiosity. People speculated about who the mysterious heir to the William empire could be.The announcement itself had been brief. Robert stood before a sea of reporters at an exclusive press conference and made the declaration with his signature commanding presence:"The time has come. Tomorrow, the world will know the face of my successor—the one who will carry forward the legacy of XY Corps."He left the stage without answering questions and within minutes, the world was on fire with speculation. Every news channel and host spent time examining Robert's words in detail as they continued to debate endlessly.“I have to say, this is the biggest business

Mrs. Celestia turned towards her daughter with a thoughtful expression on her face, "Lilian, I’ve been thinking… Your grandfather. He must’ve known about James’s real identity."Lilian looked up sharply, confusion etched on her face, "What? How would he know? We had no idea James was connected to the Williams empire. He was nothing but a poor nobody when we met."Mrs. Celestia leaned forward, "Exactly. But think about it — your grandfather was always a shrewd man, always thinking five steps ahead. Do you really believe he would’ve allowed you to marry a broke nobody like James without a reason? He must’ve known something we didn’t."Lilian’s mind raced, trying to piece it all together. "He probably knew who James really was — Robert Williams’s son. That’s why he pushed for the marriage. It was never about love or alliances. It was about securing our family’s future through James." Mrs. Celestia paused after saying that, allowing her words to sink into Lilian's mind.Lilian shook her

Seeing that things weren't going as planned, she stomped her foot on the ground lightly before walking past them. The guests present mocked Lilian while whispering to each other from time to time. Lilian had never felt so embarrassed her whole life. She clenched her fist, her teeth gritted in anger as she heard the words of a woman who'd always tried to curry favor with her. “Don't mind the words of a spineless woman who lacks self-respect. She's always been so full of herself; always looking down on people and acting overly pompous” Others chimed in, mocking Lilian in the most gruesome way. The same people who were all over her the other day, trying to get business deals and establish a connection with the Evangeline family through her. The same people suddenly switched allegiance and began fawning over Bella. "I agree. She is self-centered and full of herself. I wouldn't be surprised if she has been unfaithful to Bill, her fiancé, just as she may have been with her Ex-husban
