Chapter Two Hundred and Forty-Six: The Rise of Georgina Sinclair BrownThe Browns. In America, the name alone commanded respect, reverence, and an element of fear. Brown Enterprise was an empire that had expanded its influence across finance, real estate, entertainment, and technology, shaping industries and building legacies. And at the heart of it was Georgina Sinclair Brown, the first daughter of the family, the one who had been forced to take a different path.Georgina had always felt like the shadow in her own family’s legacy. Born into privilege but denied the title of heir, she was a prodigy, just as brilliant as her brother but overlooked simply because of her gender. The Browns had strict traditions; the male heir took the helm of Brown Enterprise, and for Georgina, this decision stung more deeply than she ever showed. Her older brother, Edward Brown had been the apple of her father’s eye. As the oldest son, he was groomed for greatness from birth. Their father, Edward
Chapter Two Hundred and Forty-Seven: The Resurgence of Georgina’s FuryFor years, Georgina Sinclair Brown had allowed herself to forget about her nephew, Chris, the black sheep who had been exiled from the family. It was convenient and comforting to ignore him, knowing she had pulled strings behind the scenes to ensure he would be cut off from the powerful Brown lineage. She had been certain she’d rid herself of his inconvenient presence and his moralistic ideals, which were a thorn in her side. And yet, like a ghost from the past, Chris had returned claiming not only his name but also the family empire she so fiercely desired.The news came abruptly, shaking her world in ways she hadn’t expected. She could still recall the conversation with her younger brother, Martins, who’d sat across from her in her office, delivering the bombshell with a calmness that only stoked her fury.“Chris has taken over the company,” Martins had said simply, watching her reaction with something like a

Chapter Two Hundred and Forty-Eight: The Perfect PlanThe moment Georgina Sinclair Brown learned that Chris was spending time with Loreta, her blood simmered. It wasn’t just that he was associating with her potential ally; it was the threat it posed to her carefully orchestrated plan to reclaim Brown Enterprise. Loreta was supposed to be the linchpin in Georgina’s strategy, the catalyst that would help her sow doubts about Chris’s leadership and undermine his authority within the family. But now, with Chris getting close to Loreta, her plans were unraveling right before her eyes.Georgina didn’t believe in taking chances. She had fought too hard and too long to allow her nephew—a once-exiled nobody—to stand between her and her ambition. Chris’s association with Loreta wasn’t just an inconvenience; it was a direct challenge, one that demanded an immediate and calculated response.She spent days devising the perfect strategy, a scheme that would not only drive a wedge between Chris
Chapter Two Hundred and Forty-Nine: Unraveling Truth’sThe rumors surrounding Loreta and her “mystery man” continued to ignite gossip across the entertainment world. Every media outlet, from glossy tabloids to reputable news websites, speculated on who he might be, and the internet was in a frenzy. Despite the ambiguity in the photos, amateur sleuths dissected every detail, hunting for clues and conjuring up wild theories.Loreta tried to carry on as usual, acting unbothered, but it was clear the rumors had affected her. She’d taken careful steps to craft her public image, and now, with a story that questioned her integrity, it felt like everything she’d worked for was unraveling. Her public appearances grew scarce, and when she did emerge, her smile didn’t quite reach her eyes.Chris, however, was caught in a quiet storm of his own. He couldn’t shake the gnawing feeling in his gut, the certainty that this so-called scandal wasn’t a coincidence. The photos had been tampered with; he’d
Chapter Two Hundred and Fifty: The Seed of DoubtGeorgina’s next move was as insidious as it was effective. She knew the key to breaking Chris wasn't just tarnishing his name in the press; she had to sever the one bond that had reluctantly accepted him back—the Brown family itself. If she could turn even his closest allies within the family against him, he would have nowhere left to stand. And she had just the plan.---It began subtly. Georgina started planting seeds of doubt within the walls of the Brown residence. During one of the family dinners, she spoke softly but strategically, her tone carrying just the right amount of disappointment masked as concern.“You know,” she said, sighing and glancing at one of her aunts across the table, “I worry about Chris. He’s been acting so…recklessly lately. It’s like he’s completely lost sight of what it means to be part of this family.”Chris’s uncle, an older gentleman with sharp, discerning eyes, frowned slightly. “What do you mean?”Geor
Chapter 250: "The Smear Campaign" Georgina leaned back in her leather chair, her gaze fixed on the family portrait hanging in her study. The Browns were a legacy, a dynasty built on power and influence. Yet, somehow, Chris had managed to claw his way back into the family's business sphere, despite every obstacle she had thrown his way. And now, after leaving the Brown residence to live as a live-in son-in-law with the Prestons, he still posed a threat—one she would not allow to grow any further. Chris’s marriage into the Preston family had been her first real break from having him around. His departure from the Brown estate had removed him from the daily family politics, granting her the peace and control she craved. But now, the news of his slow re-emergence into the family business gnawed at her. His influence was growing, and his reputation among certain influential members of the Brown family was improving, even from afar. Georgina couldn’t allow his quiet success to
Chapter 251: Family Unraveled The tension in the Brown family household was at its peak, and Georgina could barely suppress a satisfied smirk as she watched her carefully laid plan unfold. She had stirred up a storm, and now it was all coming down on Chris. It started with a quiet word here, a sharp whisper there, and soon enough, murmurs filled the grand Brown estate like a rising tide. Miller’s wife, Joyce, took the opportunity to make her entrance, her voice carrying as she addressed the family in a quivering, emotional plea. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she recounted her husband’s current situation. “My husband, Miller, is languishing in that horrible prison cell, all because Chris refused to help him,” Joyce sobbed, her gaze sweeping across the room. Her voice was tinged with bitterness, mixed with a heavy dose of frustration. “He could have saved Miller, but he turned his back on family.” Georgina sat back, her fingers steepled together as she let Joyce’s words s
