They had finally arrived at the Dracena family's main house. When Olivia first set foot in the mansion, her eyes were immediately drawn to the large building before her. She saw a large house that was predominantly black. At the same time, the big door that towered high had a gold color that made a luxurious impression on the house. One of the servants opened the door to the house's room, which immediately surprised Olivia. Some so many servants bowed their bodies when welcoming them all. "Welcome to Dracena's house." One of the servants gave a gentle welcome. Olivia knew they were welcoming Claude, but this amazed Olivia. Some so many servants gave a welcome. There were even more servants than the Green family."Mrs. Olivia, tell us what you need. We will prepare it for you." One of the servants spoke again, but his gaze was directed at Olivia this time. Olivia looked at Claude. She held Claude's hand with an uncomfortable feeling. All this time, a servant had never treated her so
Two men with sharp eyes were staring at an object in front of them. The atmosphere there seemed tense. The two men were deep into the game they were playing. A chessboard with a few remaining pawns."So you don't want to admit defeat immediately? You should have conceded immediately." Claude said that in a cold voice while looking intently at his grandfather's face. Smith shook his head. "That won't happen. Of course, I'm not going to just give in." Smith spoke firmly. He still wanted to survive even though only a few pawns existed. Claude grinned slightly. "Are you sure?" He stared intently at Smith's face. Before saying anything, Claude immediately moved one of his pawns and ate his grandfather's king. "You'll still lose even if you don't," Claude said. Until he finally won the very serious chess match. "The game is over, and I've beaten Grandpa." Claude looked sternly at his grandfather's face. Meanwhile, Smith stared at the chess pieces. He shook his head in disbelief that Cl
Smith looked at Claude. He was silent for a moment before he gave Claude an answer. Smith looked back at the B on the letter, then looked at Claude and said, "The B is Bastian." Smith gave an answer to Claude.Claude frowned. He had no idea who Bastian was. Even Bruce had never said anything about the name his grandfather had just mentioned. "Bastian?" Claude repeated the name with a look at his grandfather's face. Smith nodded his head. He looked at Bruce momentarily before finally looking back at his grandson's face. "Yes, the name B that is usually written down is Bastian's name." Smith looked back at the contents of the letter. Then he looked back at Claude's face flatly. "Actually, before I searched for the truth about you, I had another grandson from your father's brother. He is Bastian." Smith explained to Claude. Bastian was an illegitimate child who had been expected to become an heir of the Dracaena family. There, Smith spoke again, "He was expected to die in a very larg
Several people were busy preparing all the equipment that their master would need. Meanwhile, some servants were preparing the place that would soon be used. Bruce walked towards his master's room. He didn't immediately enter the room, he knocked on the door until finally a door opened. There was Claude, who was all dressed up. "Is everything ready?" Claude asked with a flat look in his eyes. Bruce bent his body for a few seconds, then straightened up. "Master, everything is ready. You can go there now. We have prepared it well." Claude, who was there, immediately nodded his head. "I'll be right there." Claude left the room while Bruce walked after him until the two finally walked toward the backyard. Claude stopped his steps. He looked at all the preparations that had been made. Just as Bruce said, everything was neatly organized. Some guards were also there, while another servant held a disk.Bruce walked away from his master. After a while, Bruce returned with a shooting devi
A neat suit was on Claude's body at this moment. He had just gotten out of a luxury car and was greeted respectfully by several guards. He was coming to the Dracena Group for the first time. There was an important meeting, and Smith asked Claude to come and start taking control of the entire Dracena family center company."Welcome Mr. Claude. Everyone is waiting for you. I will escort you into the meeting room." The guards gave a polite welcome. Claude nodded slowly. He took off his sunglasses and straightened his suit before walking into the company with one of the guards.When Claude had just walked into the company, everyone lowered their eyes as a sign of respect, but Claude ignored them. He immediately entered the elevator and headed to the second floor. The guard still provided an escort until they stopped in front of a room. "Sir, this is the meeting room. Everyone is waiting for him." The guard opened the door for Claude. The door opened, making everyone turn their heads to
Daniel smiled bitterly at Claude's question. He shouldn't have to ask that. From the first time Claude looked at him, he should have known that they were the ones who were more suitable to be a leader in the company. Daniel let out his breath. He chuckled. "Everyone knows that we are experts. We've been in the Dracena Group for a dozen years and almost twenty. Of course no one should doubt us about this." Daniel said it with confidence. Of the fifteen people there, Daniel and Adam were the ones who were much older than all of them. As Daniel had said earlier, if they had worked there for almost twenty years, the two men felt they should be the company's new leaders. And not a young man they barely knew. "We regret very much why this company should be held and led by a young man who I don't think knows anything about the Dracaena Group." Adam chimed in with his opinion. There, Daniel glanced at him until they made eye contact. "You're right, Mr. Adam. An expert like us should be th
Hearing Claude's words made the two men smile confidently. Claude should have known this from the start and recognized them as great people. "You are right, Mr. Claude. Of course, we are great people and have a lot of experience. Of course, that's because we've been with this company for so long." Daniel said that with his chest puffed out. His eyes seemed different, and he looked much more arrogant this time.Adam also straightened his body. He looked at Claude's face and spoke, "You shouldn't doubt us. Even as an experienced person, we can help you learn about the company and how to run it. I know it will be tough for you, who has just joined the company." Adam said this with a very frivolous look on Claude's face.Daniel leaned forward. His hands were currently on the table. But he immediately moved his other hand to straighten his suit. "As I said, many companies also want us, but of course, we don't want to leave Dracena Group. And our vast experience and knowledge will make it e
Daniel's chest was still pounding. He was upset that Claude had secretly found out so much about him. The fear and tension had not disappeared, but Claude had asked a new question."And I heard that your son was just released from the law," Claude spoke again. Claude now had his hands on either side of the chair and was staring at Daniel's face sternly. Of course, he wanted the answer from the man who always acted arrogantly.Daniel sighed. He tried to get rid of his nerves and dared to look at Claude's face. "You shouldn't have to ask about this, Mr. Claude," Daniel spoke firmly.His body was still leaning on the table. And it could be seen that his hands were still clenched tightly. The legal noose that his son had gotten was long and heavy. And, of course, he would do anything to release his son."Mr. Claude, this is a big company. And, of course, I can do that. And about my son-" Daniel paused his sentence for a moment. He sighed and straightened up. "You are a rich man and even t
