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 253: Unmasking the EnemyChris woke up the next morning to the buzz of his phone. As he reached for it, he noticed multiple notifications lighting up the screen. Headlines and alerts filled his feed with bold letters, each article questioning Georgina’s integrity and the scandal she had orchestrated. The media had shifted, just as he and Maya planned. Chris’s actions had caused the public to look more closely at Georgina, and the effects were taking root faster than he’d anticipated.He smiled, feeling the satisfaction of progress as he scrolled through. But this was no time to relax—he knew Georgina, and she wouldn’t take this lightly. If anything, the escalation would provoke her even further.---Later that morning, Chris arrived at MTD headquarters, feeling a renewed energy. As he walked through the halls, there was a noticeable shift in how people looked at him. Instead of whispers of doubt, there were respectful nods, subtle smiles, and even some approving glances.

Chapter Chris leaned back, a slight frown settling on his face as he tapped his fingers against the table in Stephany’s living room. The media storm swirling around his supposed connection to Loreta was impossible to ignore. Reports and photos—no doubt doctored—spread like wildfire, painting a picture he didn’t recognize. He’d expected Georgina to lash out, but he hadn't anticipated how deeply her reach extended or how quickly she could weaponize it.Across from him, Stephany sat in silence, her hands wrapped around a steaming cup of coffee. She glanced up occasionally, catching glimpses of Chris’s contemplative gaze. He could feel the weight of her stare, the tension simmering between them as the unspoken words hung heavily in the air. The rumors had begun to affect their home life, and he hated that Georgina’s schemes had found a way to seep into his personal space.“Are you really just going to let her control the narrative?” Stephany finally asked, breaking the silence. Her voice
For 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 anticipation. His words hit her like a slap. She stared at him, unable
Chapter 266: The Last Straw Chris felt the tension simmering, like a storm cloud growing thicker each day. Despite his distance from the Brown estate, the whispers and stares he faced in the business world began creeping into every aspect of his life. Even his once steady clients began to withdraw, leaving vague excuses about "reputation concerns." The rumors were no longer confined to his family—they were seeping into every corner of his world, tarnishing his hard-earned name. Stephany noticed it too. She'd often find him deep in thought, staring into space with clenched fists, anger held barely in check. One evening, she couldn’t hold back anymore. “Chris, this has gone on long enough,” she said, watching him closely. “You need to confront this head-on. The family can’t keep playing you like this, and I know it’s not just coincidence.” Chris sighed, rubbing his temples. “I know it’s Georgina, Steph. She’s always had it out for me. I just… I can’t prove it, and if I act witho
Chapter 267, Georgina’s Victory Georgina stood at the center of the office, her eyes gleaming with triumph as she looked around at the executives who had once doubted her. Today, all the whispers, the side glances, the hushed rumors—they would all be silenced. She had saved the company from an imminent financial disaster, something no one had believed she could do.The Financial Investigation had loomed over them for months, casting shadows of uncertainty. When it seemed like all hope was lost, she had taken charge. Georgina had sifted through records, met with investigators, and pulled strings no one knew she had. This wasn’t just another corporate win—it was her victory, her triumph. And she wanted everyone to see it.As she looked around the room, she lifted her glass high. “To survival,” she said, a smirk playing on her lips. “And to proving that sometimes, we need fresh eyes to see things through.”A round of applause erupted, mixed with murmurs of agreement. She caught a f
Chapter 267; Georgina’s demotion Georgina stood confidently at the head of the conference table, her heart pounding with excitement as the room buzzed with voices of relief and gratitude. She had saved the company from collapse, securing a resolution to the Financial Investigation that had nearly destroyed them. She basked in the glow of her achievement, knowing that every eye in the room was on her, and finally, they were looking at her with respect. She knew Grandpa would recognize what she had done. Her actions had been bold, decisive, and unflinching. Today was the day he would acknowledge her as the company’s rightful leader. She had no doubts that her position as acting president would become official, and she’d hold the power she’d worked so hard to earn. She raised her glass, a smile stretching across her face. “To a future without fear,” she declared, her voice ringing with confidence. “And to all of us—who stayed strong when the storm seemed unbeatable.” The
Chapter 269: The Consequences of RecklessnessGeorgina’s jaw clenched as she stared at her grandfather, searching his face for any sign of sympathy. But all she saw was disappointment etched deeply into his features. Her chest tightened, the weight of his unspoken judgment pressing down on her, but she forced herself to stand tall. She wasn’t going to cower, not now.Grandpa took a deep breath, folding his hands on the table in front of him. He leaned forward, his gaze piercing, unyielding. “Georgina,” he began, his voice low and steady, “you know, as well as anyone, that every decision we make impacts not only ourselves but this entire company, this family, and the generations that come after.”“I understand that, Grandpa,” she replied, her voice barely above a whisper. “But I did what I thought was right. I was trying to save the family from ruin.”He raised a hand to silence her, and she felt a flicker of irritation rise. She wasn’t a child anymore. She was capable of making de
