RISE OF THE HEIRS: Getting Rid of The Traitor 09
A knock on the door made Tom look up. He who had been hit by the books about some other promising projects could not help but close his agenda."Come in, Arthur."Hearing Tom's answer from inside, Arthur, who had been knocking, was surprised. He frowned in surprise as he looked around. After confirming that there were no surveillance cameras there, he entered hesitantly."I don't think there was ever a surveillance camera here. How would you know if I knocked?"Tom laughed as he got up from his seat. He invited his brother to sit down and headed to the small fridge in the corner of his room. "What do you want, Arthur?""As before, I still want the same thing. I want to get my hands on JF Groups completely. Because I'm the one who knows best about all the problems in the company."Hearing Arthur's answer, Tom looked back. He laughed with a chuckle. "That's not what I asked."Arthur pursed his lips tightly, then looked away. "Gimme an iced coffee."Tom grinned at Arthur's agitated behav

"I'm sorry, dad. Really, I didn't mean to hurt you. I just wanted to make Arthur realise that what he was doing wasn't his best effort."James nodded slowly. His eyes stared out of the window as the night grew darker. His head nodded and bowed simultaneously. "I know, Tom. It's just that if I think back to how much effort it took to learn to lead JF before, I won't believe it. All the projects were crushed, all the performance was still stable, even the stock price was soaring the last time I could still go to the office."Tom frowned. He approached, then knelt before his dad. "Did you have an accident?"James shook his head with a smile. "My condition suddenly deteriorated. That's all. Maybe I'm tired. Or maybe I had a lot on my mind. All out of the blue, I fell and I couldn't do anything anymore. That's all.""Can I see your examination results, dad? Although I don't understand enough, but considering your healthy lifestyle with balanced exercise, I think it's suspicious.""There ar

“Damn it! He’s a complete psychopath! And I’m going to go absolutely nuts if I have to deal with him here at home!”Jill smirked at Arthur, who was swearing incessantly while hitting the wall of the study. She leaned back and stared at the reflection in the mirror just to the side of the sofa.“He’s good at twisting things around, Arthur. Don’t deal with her with your poor thinking skills. Of course you’ll go crazy over it.”Arthur turned his head angrily. He approached Jill, then knelt down in front of her. “Then what should I do, Mrs Reynolds? At this rate, I’m not sure I’ll be able to take full control of JF Groups.”Jill flashed a big smile. She pointed right at the mirror as she cleared her throat. “You saw that? Try as he might, he can’t change reality, Arthur. He’s not highly educated. She lives in

It was late afternoon by the time Tom collected all the results of his inspections. He brought all the necessary files with him as he thanked Arthur at the scheduled meeting with the general managers of each field."After going through each of your work, there are a few things I must emphasise. Although this has not yet received approval from the chairman in question. From now on, let's improve our performance. Especially regarding the important projects that will be carried out. Regarding the selected team, I will most likely reshuffle it myself for the sake of the common good. Eventually, I will report the results to the chairman and make a written report for you to understand. Thank you."Tom was about to leave his seat when one of the general managers raised his hand."Please speak.""What is this inspection for, sir? You don't even inspect every project in progress. Nor are you collecting our eq

Jill had arrived at the front of the jewellery shop where Tom, Arthur and Shannon were choosing jewellery. She glanced at one of the staff and waved. She took as much money as she could and put it in the jewellery clerk's bag."You know what you have to do, don't you? Make sure there won't be any evidence that can get him off. Or you'll pay the price. You get it?"The clerk quickly moved away from Jill and was about to take over her friend's job of showing Shannon some fancy jewellery. But Tom immediately refused vehemently."Sorry, miss. I only want to be served by the previous girl."Diana, she flashes a big smile to persuade Tom, who pauses Shannon from picking out jewellery. "The previous attendant has not been adept enough to show the excess jewellery that the bride-to-be will be wearing, sir. So it would be best if I accompany Ms Reynolds here."Arthur tapped Tom lightly on

"I apologise for today's incident, Ms Reynolds. I didn't expect this little fuss to happen while you were preparing for the engagement ceremony the day after tomorrow." Shannon shook her head softly. Her eyes were still darting around to the few visitors who had been whispering as they passed by. "I'm sure Arthur isn't that petty. He's a good person. And you shouldn't accuse him without proof." Tom turned his head and smiled in confirmation. "Yes, you're right. A brother shouldn't do crazy things just to get rid of another brother for an inheritance." Shannon glanced at Tom quickly. She looked at Tom, who was looking for the famous boutique as promised. "What do you mean by that?" "Gotcha! There's the boutique. Lemme take you there." Tom's polite behaviour actually made Shannon smile kindly after the thrilling action earlier. He entered the famous boutique with various

Arthur was about to throw another punch when Tom's phone rang with a call. He stretched his right hand in front of his face as he got up slowly. "I'm going to go. Stop this before people think more about your high temper."Tom limped away after looking at Shannon, who looked worried. He simply nodded before actually leaving Arthur and Shannon at the famous boutique to get the best outfit for their happy day.While receiving the call, Tom tried to pay attention to his surroundings. "Did you get the results?"At the end of the call, Pete nodded steadily. "It's an illegal drug that's still being developed, Tom."Hearing Pete's short and clear explanation, Tom was completely out of patience. He hit the wall with quite a bit of force. "Damn it! He's completely insane! How could—""Please watch what you say, Tom. I heard that Arthur is making a scene. Be careful. He can do anythi

“So, I’ll most likely be dismissed?” asked Arthur in a trembling voice. His hands were clenched into fists, while his teeth were chattering with anger.James turned round and looked at Arthur after letting out a long sigh. “Aren’t you trying to think things through? Is it appropriate for a director to do such a horrible thing in a public place, Arthur?”Arthur’s left hand tried to control his clenched right hand. He looked down languidly, as if he was regretting his actions. “It wasn’t my fault, dad. Tom did everything to set me up. He put me in the worst potential situation. Don’t you ever think about it? Ever since he came, all the good things I had planned have been completely ruined! He’s bad luck, dad!”“Enough, Arthur!”Arthur got up quickly. His hands were clenched tightly into fists, trying not to be rude in f
