THE RISE OF THE SECRET HEIR CHAPTER 16
The members of the board stood up as Arthur walked into the room. This was his first official meeting and introduction to the head company. As expected, Marianna and her sisters were present. They didn't bother to stand up with the others but kept their faces on their phones. He wasn't bothered. They had threatened to come to the board meeting to cause chaos if I didn't return the money. He didn't budge. He was ready for them, and like he told Marianna, he wasn't afraid of them anymore.Arthur signalled Jim to distribute the documents he and Uncle Derrick had prepared for the meeting. It contained the new rules, regulations, and terms and conditions that all branches and companies under Craig Control will be using. He explained the contents to everyone and asked them to drop their suggestions and opinions. Two people raised concerns over the effect the new rules and policies would have on clients and consumers.He provided tactful answers and asked everyone to come up with programmes

Arthur watched Claire eat. She had no idea what he planned for. She really thought she had cut her cake and had it all. Well, she was wrong. Life didn’t work that way, and she will learn soon.She took a long sip of the wine he had ordered for them. ‘Thanks for tonight, Arthur. I am happy you brought us here to cherish this moment.’He smiled, ‘Of course. You deserve to be treated as the queen that you are. So, I have other plans created specifically for you before I leave New York.’‘Oh, wow. Can I know what the plans are?’ she asked, her eyes glowing.‘Nothing much, though. I have an invitation to a hotel grand opening ceremony. Although we are already late, I just need to show up and pledge an amount of money for them.’‘Okay, I can escort you there. Is it the Met Trent Hotel?’He smiled. Of course, she will know it. Claire lives on social media trends. She will do everything to stay online all day and keep up with the latest events and programmes, even if she can’t afford to be th

‘You are only here because we want you to be here,’ she repeated. ‘I hope Uncle Derrick told you about his father’s enemies. We aren't the only ones who will be coming for you.’ Enemies? What was she talking about? She was probably making it up to scare me,me, but she had failed before she started.‘There are no enemies except you and your sisters. I will remind you to watch your tongue and remember your place in the family, sister. I won’t be this kind next time if II have to remind you.’ I warned her, staring sternly at her.She chuckled.. ‘I won't remind you about what II said too. I will be right here when they start visiting you, Arthur.’She took a bottle of juice and walked away. What enemies was she talking about? I pondered her words until daybreak, then at work,work, and by the time I was sitting in a business meeting with Uncle Derrick, Derrick, I couldn’t stop myself from asking.‘Uncle, there’s something I need to ask you.’ I started rearranging my question so that it wo

Mark tapped his fingers, ignoring Claire’s presence. He was going to kill Arthur if that’s what was going to make Claire love him. He couldn’t believe she had disobeyed his orders a few days ago and still had the guts to ask him for money!Thank God for his father’s reliable personal assistant, who saw the videos yesterday and sent them to him immediately. He was embarrassed on her behalf. He could see the rage on her face when Arthur insulted her! He wondered what his parents would say when they found out about the video. They would definitely remind him that she wasn't good for him. He had to confront her.‘Where were you on Friday’s night?’ He asked, watching her eyes move.She paused, dropping her phone. ‘I was at Susan’s place. I told you we had a girl hangout, remember? Why are you asking?’He smiled. Of course. The little gold digger would lie to save herself!‘You shouldn’t lie to me, Claire. Are you sure you were at Susan’s place? Think harder, dear.’ He pushed, hoping she w

Marianna stared at her sisters once more. Could they do it? They were just three women, and the youngest was a phone addict. How could she make them see that this plan was very important for her, especially?Her lifestyle was almost hitting the rocks with her personal space divided into three places to take care of her sister's demands, which was becoming overwhelming. It was obvious they didn’t know what was at stake.She had tried to convince Uncle Derrick to convince Arthur to change his mind, but the old man had refused. She wasn’t surprised. He had never liked her or her sisters due to their attitudes towards him. Well, it wasn’t her fault that his daughters were far away from him while they were around for their father, who was late now! Her father! She wished she could bring him back to life and help him change his will.Imagine removing his biological daughters from his properties and giving them to that wretched Arthur! Someone who just came in from nowhere and decided to str

In a well-furnished room in a five-story building located on a quiet country estate, I sat on a long couch, staring at the odds and ends of the meeting reports. They were filled with details I needed to implement and emails I needed to send. I couldn’t trust the secretary to do it because of what happened the last time. She had mixed up the mail and sent it to the wrong addresses, causing a lot of confusion that day. If not for my quick intervention,they would have lost major deals and payments. I was going to fire her soon, but for now, I just had to leave the typing and scheduling meetings for her while I handled the important responsibilities and duties. I picked up a document that contained the announcement of the fifty companies that had applied for the A. I chatted with the bot, and they were to give the license to just fifteen people. Also, a discount for the first ten people. Checking through the report, I couldn’t find their names. Eni had forgotten to add it there. Damn! I

'I would do the transfer immediately you sign the documents and hand over everything about the company, Mr. Federick. I was hoping you wouldn’t hesitate. You are no coward, or are you?’ I asked, smiling.He looked at the dirty, gruff man, nodded, and picked up the documents. I was still calculating what he had in mind. Beat us up and force me to do a transfer? That’s pretty much it. Mr. Frederick wasn’t looking like someone who was willing to let go of his company easily.He dropped off the documents. ‘If you can increase the fee to about ten million dollars, I will let go of the company immediately.’I picked up my phone to send a text to Uncle Derrick. We had agreed to pay Mr. Federick seven million dollars if he was insistent. Uncle Derrick replied immediately; he disagreed and advised me to stick with the seven million dollars. Federick’s company was in a lot of trouble, and it will cost them a lot to recover from that reputation.‘The best I can do is seven million dollars, Mr. F

Mark walked into Craig’s headquarters, cursing inwardly and hating his father more. There were other staff members he could send, but he chose to send Mark because of their recent argument. He looked at his outfit again and prayed it wasn’t Arthur who was doing the oral interview.If it was that rash, he would just walk out and inform his father to move on from Craig’s product to something bigger. Like the Dot-Ai robot. He had suggested it this morning, but his father, a stubborn man, refused to listen to him. In his words, Dot A. I wasn’t offering a discount or a two-year warranty. It wasn’t up to Craig's standards, so Mark must ensure he didn’t jeopardize their chances. Like, it wasn’t jinxed already. His father thinks that Arthur would see him immediately and just give the company a pass mark. After all, he and Claire did. He had every urge to turn around, but due to his father’s assurance that Arthur wouldn’t be the one interviewing them, he took another long breath and walked in
