It took some time for Dylan to understand everything. He had just been informed that he was the next heir to the Sullivan family, which gave him access to all parts of the house, including the Sullivan fortune and his position in the company.
A wide smile spread across the man's face. His head kept spinning, still in disbelief that he could suddenly become rich like this, something that could only exist in fictional stories.
"You'll be living in this house with all the amenities," Richard explained.
"You no longer need to live with the Watsons, whether you owe them a favor or not," Louis said.
"The Watson family shouldn't be picking on you like that. You are a respected person. If they insult you, then they are indirectly insulting us," Richard said.
"I know. Their treatment of me has been so cruel that I will never forget it. With all the things you guys have given me, at least I have a chance to repay what they've done to me all these years!" Dylan retorted.
"You have the right to do anything, don't worry. We will assist you in avenging their family," Richard said.
Dylan stood up, stepped off the couch, and walked around the place. His eyes kept wandering to the side, taking in the furniture in the place.
"Can I do it now?" asked Dylan.
He turned his head towards the back, precisely to Richard and Louis, who were still in the vicinity. The two nodded, allowing their son to use all the power of the Sullivan family to take revenge.
"What exactly did you want to do to the Watson family?" asked Richard.
"They bought the orphanage where I grew up. I worked all this time with the Watsons to pay off the cost of buying the orphanage, but I realized it would take a long time," said Dylan.
"So, you're going to buy the orphanage?" asked Richard.
Dylan nodded and cleared his throat softly. Dylan never thought that he had another way to get the revenge he wanted. Maya walked up to Dylan, standing tall with a stern smile on her face.
"Is there anything I can do for you?" she asked.
"Take me to Robert's workplace. I'll talk to him directly!" said Dylan, with a face full of seriousness.
"All right," said Maya.
The two left the Sullivan residence together in a black sedan with two SUVs following close behind. The motorcade exited the Sullivan residence complex, heading for Robert's office not far from the Sullivan residence.
About fifteen minutes into the trip, the cars arrived at the front yard of the Monarch company. It was clear that the Monarch employees were still working inside the company with only a few hours left to go home.
The motorcade stopped right in front of Monarch's office building, surprising many people as they assumed that the people inside were important.
Maya got out of the sedan first, followed by Dylan, who got out after she opened the car door for him.
Everyone was stunned, frozen where they stood with their eyes wide. They watched Dylan get out of the luxury sedan with five bodyguards walking behind the man, guarding him.
"Isn't that the lousy OB?"
"Right, but why did he get out of that car?"
"What was he trying to do here?"
Dylan felt proud and full of confidence as he stepped into the elevator. The elevator doors opened, revealing Melissa coming out with several assistants in tow, the woman just as surprised as the employees.
"You! Why are you here? And who are they?" asked Melisa, glaring at Dylan.
"I'm here to see my brother-in-law. I have something to discuss," Dylan replied, walking in just as Melisa stepped out.
"What does an OB like you want to discuss with the CEO of Monarch?" asked Melissa, laughing contemptuously.
"OB, huh? I have a brilliant idea for this. You'll find out soon enough, dear!" snapped Dylan.
The elevator doors closed with Dylan and his bodyguard inside. Melissa was quite curious. The woman seemed to be waiting in front of the elevator to get back on, considering Dylan looked confident earlier.
"What are you doing, Mrs. Melissa?" asked one of her assistants, gasping at the sight of Melissa taking the elevator back upstairs.
"You wait here. I need to see what's going on up there," Melissa explained.
The elevator doors opened. Dylan got out and found himself on the highest floor of Monarch's office, where the CEO and Monarch's top officials worked.
He walked with his bodyguards on the floor, startling the people in the place so much that they were stunned and stopped what they were doing. They were so curious about what Dylan was going to do in this place, the OB that they had always despised.
"Schedule a meeting with the shareholders tomorrow. I have a decision to make on their recommendation," Robert said, speaking to his assistant through his phone.
Dylan arrived at the CEO's office door with Robert Watson's name prominently displayed on the glass door. Dylan entered without knocking, leaving many people stunned at Dylan's boldness, something they had never seen before.
Robert turned around, gasping as Dylan arrived with a woman and five men in black suits behind him. Robert squinted his eyes, trying to understand Dylan's intentions.
"What's going on? Why are you here, you little shit?!" moaned Robert.
"I'll take that as your last insult to me," Dylan replied.
The man stepped closer to Robert's desk, as did Maya. Dylan and Maya sat in a chair directly in front of the CEO's desk.
"Who are they?" asked Robert, loudly.
"They are my bodyguards. They've come to protect me from the violence you're always doing," Dylan replied.
"DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH!" shouted Robert, his face flushed with both hands seemingly pounding the table violently.
"I'm not lying," said Dylan.
"He's right, Mr. Robert. Dylan is our master now," Maya replied, emphasizing Dylan's position in front of Robert.
"Master'? Haha! You're a commoner. How can you have bodyguards like them?" Robert asked.
Dylan paused, taking in his surroundings carefully. Monarch was Watson's second company, working in the field of shipping and estate. Dylan already knew very well what the work at Monarch was like.
"I'll speak to you directly. I want to buy the orphanage you bought," Dylan said.
"Huh?! Buy it?! HAHA!" Robert laughed out loud at that, something he didn't think was possible.
The door to Robert's office opened, revealing Melissa standing breathless, running from the elevator doors into the office.
She was immediately restrained by Dylan's bodyguards, drawing the man's attention until Dylan ordered his two bodyguards to release their grip on Melissa.
"How much is it? Name it!" said Dylan.
"Hmm ... I'll sell it for $1,000,000."
Dylan squinted his eyes, pausing for a moment with his eyes fixed on Robert. That made Robert even more convinced that Dylan was a fool who could only bluff.
"I knew you wouldn't—"
"I already sent it," Maya said, interrupting Robert.
"I thought it would be more expensive than that," Dylan complained.
A woman from the finance department arrived. She arrived with the information on her laptop. $ 1,000,000 had been sent to Monarch's account. Robert and Melissa widened their eyes, both walking over to the woman to see it in person.
"So, when can I get the certificate of land?" asked Dylan, standing up as well as Maya.
Robert looked back with a shocked face, full of disbelief. The report said the sender was Sully Corp, a company owned by the Sullivan Family.
"Sully Corp? Why would the Sullivan Family send this money?" Robert asked.
"Because the man beside me is not Dylan Perry, but Dylan Sullivan. He's the only heir to the Sullivan Family!"
"You'd better give me the land deed to the orphanage right away. I'll move them all in immediately," Dylan insisted."No! This is not possible. You check again. Is it really from Sully?" Robert asked.The man again pointed to his female employee, asking her to double-check the remittance account. However, as many times as Robert asked to check, the account was originally owned by Sully Corp."There's no way a man like him is Richard's son! His looks and demeanour are not at all suitable to be an heir of a family like the Sullivans!" Robert snapped, pointing at Dylan.Dylan himself was still speechless as he realized Robert was still reluctant to admit the truth. The man walked closer to Robert, right in front of his brother-in-law.The Sullivan heir occasionally looked back. The employees had left their workplaces and seemed curious about the commotion in the CEO's office. Robert realized what was happening. He looked back and found his employees running to hide from Robert's tantrum.
They talked about many things right at the moment of their meeting. Rose invited Dylan to talk inside while Beatrice and the other sisters prepared to return the house to the orphanage.They had a lot to talk about, especially since they hadn't seen each other since Dylan left the orphanage to work. They proceeded to the residence's second floor, where Rose's study was located."The number of children here is increasing. We have three new children in our care this year alone," Rose said."What's their condition?" asked Dylan."Two are orphans, brothers and sisters. The other one was taken in after childbirth," Rose replied."Like what happened to me, huh?" asked Dylan. The expression on his face turned sad at this as if his m
Rose's phone rang, displaying the notification that appeared on her phone screen. She clearly saw that a sum of money had been sent to her account, the one used for the orphanage's needs."The money is in," Rose said, gasping at the sight of $100,000 clearly displayed on her phone screen."Alright. Maybe you guys need some time to prepare for the move. I have to go back home. I have something to do," Dylan excused himself.The man was already standing at the door of the two-story house, the temporary home of the orphanage. He stood next to Maya, with five male bodyguards behind him."Are you coming back again?" asked Beatrice, curious.Although she was a year older than Dylan, but between the two of them, Dylan was the one wh
Dylan arrived in a room that seemed so spacious, deliberately prepared by Richard and Louis because they thought Dylan would need it. The man arrived in awe; there were many luxurious items he had never seen. Maya arrived with a maid. The maid arrived with both hands, holding a metal tray filled with snacks and cold drinks for Dylan to enjoy. Maya could see Dylan's innocent expression when he first saw his office. "Working as a servant in the Watson family won't get you all this, will it?" asked Maya, smiling broadly as she walked in, approaching Dylan, who was still frozen in place standing by a wooden workbench. "Of course. This office room is usually reserved for important people, like CEOs," Dylan replied. "You'll take that position. Mr. Richard and Mrs. Louis are old enough to manage everything," Maya replied. "You know, they need their retirement time to enjoy all the achievements they've made," Maya said. Dylan sighed. He was beginning to realize that they planned to let
***The next day.Maya walked into the Sullivan house and went to Dylan's room. Richard would not be attending the shareholder meeting at the Monarch Office, so he ordered Dylan to go.Richard believed that Dylan could bring something new to either Monarch or Sullivan or Sully Corp. Each shareholder was invited to bring one person, an assistant who would take notes of the meeting.Dylan appointed Maya as his assistant to accompany him through the meeting, Maya showed no objection at all. She was happy because Dylan had indirectly started to trust her.That was why Maya could not let Dylan down. She continued to stride quickly towards the elevator of the house, passing by several servants who seemed to be busy cleaning every corner of the house until the woman was fully inside the elevator. The pulley began to turn, pulling on the strong rope that was able to pull the elevator all the way up. Maya was alone in the elevator, neatly dressed as if she was ready to attend a meeting as imp
"I've gathered you all because I have something to discuss, it has to do with Monarch's sales," Robert said.He started showing the presentation screen with the conclusion that sales for this month and the previous few months were down. They tried to market their services through the media, but the reach was not as wide as they thought."The interest level of our customers is split into two sides, between those who prefer Monarch or Sully," Robert explained, beginning to direct the focus of his conversation to Dylan, who was now sitting next to Maya."Monarch has been trying to work with Sully, obviously to get a wider market reach. But as of now, we haven't gotten any confirmation from Sully," Robert explained."We need to put that aside, I've come up with some ways to deal with this, in case Sully rejects Monarch's proposal," Robert said.He began to explain the ways he meant through a presentation that appeared on a white screen, there were several ways and all of them almost invol
The elevator doors opened, revealing a lobby no longer filled with Monarch employees. They had returned to their rooms, focusing on their unfinished work and ignoring the news of Dylan becoming an heir to the Sullivan Family.Dylan, along with Maya, stepped up to the black sedan parked outside the Monarch office. After seeing Dylan and Maya exit Monarch, several bodyguards immediately got into their own cars."Where are we going?" Maya asked, curious."Since I'm going to be the CEO of Sully Corp, then take me to the company," Dylan pleaded.Maya cleared her throat. She knocked lightly on the glass of the driver's car door, revealing a man who had been waiting for the two to arrive in the car. Maya spontaneously explained Dylan's destination, pointing to the Sully Corp office."Alright," said the driver of the black sedan. Maya nodded with her head seemingly raised, inviting Dylan to get in.Just as Dylan was about to get in to drive away from the office, Dylan's steps stopped when his
"What did you learn there?" asked Richard, inviting Dylan in as they talked together in the CEO's office."Many things, such as financial matters, sales, then projects, and stocks. I need to learn many things while practicing," Dylan explains."Experience is the best teacher. You will benefit a lot if you use your later experiences for learning," Richard explains.Dylan cleared his throat, sitting down on the long, soft available in the CEO's office. Right beside Dylan, he saw Maya sitting next to him. She was not at all reluctant to stay close to Dylan, given that the woman had officially become Dylan's personal assistant."So, you came here to see what Sully Corp is like?" asked Richard."It's like that. You're going to retire, I'll probably take over as CEO. I need to know what a CEO's job is like," Dylan replied."Let me tell you, Dylan. CEO is the easiest, happiest, and most enjoyable job," Richard said."All your work needs will be met by your personal secretary. For example, al
The Next Day.Dylan woke up earlier than Melissa, despite both of them having a great time last night celebrating Dylan's appointment as CEO of Sully Corp. While in the bathroom, sinking into the bathtub filled with warm water and bubbles, Dylan kept thinking of ways to quickly bring down the valuation of Happyway company."Should I execute the same plan as I did with Monarch?" Dylan pondered.He reached for his phone, noticing the time was half past six in the morning. As the new CEO of Sully Corp, he should at least be there before eight."Sigh. Seems like I should discuss this with someone other than Maya," Dylan muttered.He quickly rose from the bathtub, grabbed his bathrobe, and exited after drying himself. The bathroom door was ajar, and Melissa was still sound asleep, a serene smile adorning her beautiful face. Despite being asleep, Dylan had to admit she looked beautiful.Her face reminded him of Sean, Melissa's ex, who cheated on her with another woman. Sean was also th
That day ended earlier than it should have. Dylan bid farewell to Maya, considering their discussion about Monarch's future and its business strategy changes. Maya nodded, though she still felt annoyed with Dylan. However, she realized that the managerial questions seemed directed towards him.Maya remained in her office when the clock struck four in the afternoon. Silva had left half an hour ago, along with other employees who left at three. "Do you have so many things that you're late to leave?" someone asked, appearing in front of the Monarch CEO's office with a briefcase.Maya looked up, seeing it was Lindis. She came to invite Maya to relax before going home. "By the way, your presentation was great. I could clearly understand the plan," Lindis remarked, walking in and sitting on the sofa while opening a jar of candy."What do you think? I felt a bit nervous earlier," Maya asked, seeking Lindis' opinion."You handled it well; I'm sure it's because of the abilities you posses
Dylan and Maya are now in the meeting room on the top floor of the Monarch building. Maya is the one who will start the meeting with discussions related to Monarch's business plan changes. Before they begin the discussion, Dylan informs Maya about what the Sullivan Family will do with Monarch in the future.One of the discussions between Dylan and Maya is certainly related to the change in Monarch's business plan."I want to thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend this meeting," Maya explains.Assisted by Silva, Maya's secretary, the woman who is also the CEO of Monarch begins to explain why she has called the Monarch managerial leaders for the meeting."Previously, I gave you all a form to fill out with your opinions. Now, I want to discuss the conclusions from that feedback form," Maya replies.Maya looks to the side to gaze at Silva, then the woman nods. She gestures to Silva to help her move the presentation slides she has prepared. Dylan sits ri
"Buying Monarch?" asked Maya, shocked with both eyes wide. "That's right. We've been monitoring the valuation of every company in the city. Among the many companies, Monarch is the only one that meets our criteria," Alen replied. Dylan walked over to Maya who looked shocked and had nothing more to say. It wasn't wrong for them to buy it, Maya was sure they had more than enough money to buy Monarch. But for Maya, it was the same as paying for her work and would put hundreds of Monarch staff out of work. She wanted to refuse their request, but she needed to talk to Dylan. Maya swallowed her saliva deeply, turned her head to the side and looked at Dylan's serious expression. Dylan's eyes were focused ahead, on Alen and Nicholas. "I'm sorry, it seems that none of the companies under my auspices have any intention of selling," Dylan replied, returning their words with a broad smile. "Oh, I see, yeah? Who are you, if I may ask? Why are you trying to intimidate Miss Maya?" asked Ni
Although Dylan has fully taken over the leadership of Sully Corp, it is certain that Dylan will be working effectively tomorrow. Alice needs to design and organize some things that Dylan might need, such as job sheets and investment files.For today was the last day for Richard Sullivan to hold the reins of power. His burden was completely released and seemed to be sent towards Dylan."Where are you going?" asked Richard, curious.Dylan stopped his footsteps, looking back to see Richard sitting on the chair behind the CEO's desk."I'm going with Maya to Monarch," Dylan replied."What are you going to do with Maya there?" asked Louis, curious."Just a discussion about the future of Monarch. When I rise to CEO, Monarch will be completely under my control, right?" asked Dylan."You're right. Monarch was the first company you managed to acquire through the acquisition process," Richard replied."That's why I want to discuss the future of Monarch properly with Maya, after all, she is sti
Ambition is like a double-edged knife. It can plunge someone into the abyss of evil, but it can also lead them to goodness.In this case, Dylan's ambition is one that leads to good. He is ambitious to build a new company and make people recognize that Sullivan under his leadership is the best.The interview session over, the reporters were happy that they had gotten the story they wanted. Now, they could go home and publish the story in their media.Dylan took a deep breath, then let it out. It wasn't just the reporters who were relieved, but Dylan was too. The man was happy to realize the interview session had ended well.Richard turned his head to the side, looking at Dylan intently. None of Dylan's statements would adversely affect Sully.The old man was also amazed to find that Dylan could control himself and his thoughts so well, especially when he got pressure-filled questions from reporters."Looks like I don't have much to teach you, Dylan," Richard explained.Dylan turned his
The meeting finished on time, the signing between Dylan and Richard on a file was completed. Now, the leadership duties at Sully were fully transferred to Dylan, the new CEO of Sully Corp.Dylan waved at them, smiling as he tried to make a good impression on the important people in front of him.The shareholders were relieved to see that Sully had a new leader. Now, the success and growth of Sully's business was entirely in the hands of Dylan Sullivan.Dylan turned his head toward the right front, looking at Maya who was also seated among the other shareholders. The woman's eyes were teary, holding back the emotion of Dylan's success in achieving his goal of reaching the pinnacle of leadership at Sully.Richard walked over to Dylan, whispering something in the man's ear, "It's time for you to go greet the shareholders.""I'll do that," Dylan explained, his voice soft.The man stepped to the side, down the steps until he was fully in front of the shareholders. Dylan began shaking han
Dylan, along with Maya, stepped into the elevator together to reach the top floor. Dylan could see several employees looking enthusiastic upon his arrival, a sign that they were welcoming him warmly.They believed Dylan would bring a fresh perspective to Sully Corp, especially with the brilliant ideas he could offer. The employees had already heard about Dylan successfully seizing Monarch, Sully Corp's longtime rival. This alone demonstrated Dylan's capabilities, especially in management and business competition."Have they arrived?" Dylan asked, quite curious.Maya nodded. Just before she came to pick up Dylan, she had previously gone upstairs. She saw some of the shareholders had already arrived and were getting ready to welcome the announcement of Sully Corp's new CEO."I saw some of them had already arrived; the rest might be on their way," Maya replied."Are you nervous?" Maya asked, glancing sideways.Dylan cleared his throat, shaking his head. He no longer felt anxious or nerv
***The next day."Good luck with your first day as CEO of Sully," Melissa says.Both of them had finished eating breakfast that morning, Dylan had made it. Melissa helped him enough, she was starting to be able to do things in the kitchen.Now, Dylan looked neat in a white shirt and black suit, plus the black vest he always wore. Melissa does not remain silent, she also helps Dylan to wear a tie. Now, Dylan really looked like a young CEO who would always be dreamed of by women in this country.The woman before Dylan realized Dylan's good looks, precisely after the man wore such a formal businessman's suit. If only Melissa had seen him dressed like that before, perhaps she wouldn't have fallen into the abyss of her affair with Sean."How do I look?" asked Dylan, asking Melissa softly.The man was standing before a large mirror with Melissa looking directly behind him. Melissa's arms reached forward and hugged Dylan from behind."So stunning. I'm sure the ladies there will be amazed
