The Return Of The Lame Son In Law. 268; Georgina’s demotion
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
The Return Of The Lame Son In Law. 269; Consequences of recklessness
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
The Return Of The Lame Son In Law. 270; A Preemptive Strike
Chapter 270: A Preemptive StrikeChris sat in his office at MTD Entertainment, his gaze fixed on the cityscape outside his window, lost in thought. His focus had been on navigating through the recent challenges that MTD faced, but a sudden buzz from his phone interrupted him.“Sir, I have an update on Georgina Brown,” his assistant’s voice crackled through the speaker.Chris’s brow raised, and he felt an unexpected sense of curiosity. “Go ahead,” he said, leaning back in his chair.“She’s been removed from her position as acting president,” the assistant reported, her tone edged with restrained excitement. “Apparently, her grandfather found out she’d signed over company shares to Sterling Horizon Capital without proper authorization.”Chris's lips curled into a small, satisfied smile. So, her reckless ambition had finally caught up with her. He’d known Georgina would make bold moves to consolidate her power, but he hadn’t expected her to slip up so spectacularly, and in such a way
The Return Of The Lame Son In Law. 271; A Calculated Game
Chapter 271: A Calculated GameThe next morning, Chris was up early, feeling an unusual sense of calm as he reviewed the final statement Sandra had prepared for Sterling Heritage. Every line was crafted to dispel the baseless accusations Georgina had levied, while subtly hinting at the desperation behind her claims. The statement was straightforward, factual, and just the right amount of bold, showing anyone who read it that Sterling Heritage had nothing to hide.With a nod of approval, Chris forwarded it to the press contacts they had lined up, watching the message send with a sense of satisfaction. It was only a matter of hours before the truth would be out, and any attempt Georgina made to turn the tide would fall flat.He had just finished sending the statement when his phone rang. Connor Gebriel, the head of the local police department and one of his oldest friends, was calling. Chris picked up, leaning back in his chair.“Connor,” he greeted, a smile tugging at his lips. “Wh
The Return Of The Lame Son In Law. 273, A. Shocking revelation
Chapter 273, A Shocking RevelationGeorgina’s office felt like a cage. The sunlight streaming through the large windows only highlighted her frustration as she paced back and forth, her heels clicking sharply against the marble floor. Her mind replayed the events of the last 24 hours: the demotion, the humiliation, and now, the failure of her carefully orchestrated attack on Sterling Heritage. She slammed her hands on her desk, her face contorted with anger. How had this happened? How had Sterling Heritage managed to clear its name so quickly? And worse, how had her grandfather seen through her every move? “Something doesn’t add up,” she muttered, her voice low but venomous. Georgina had built her career on reading between the lines, on uncovering what others didn’t want to be found. If Sterling Heritage had survived her accusations so cleanly, it wasn’t just luck. There was something more—something she hadn’t seen yet. Determined to uncover the truth, she picked up her pho
The Return Of The Lame Son In Law. 274; A Narrow Escape
Chapter 273: A Narrow EscapeStephany gripped the steering wheel tightly as she navigated through the busy city streets, her thoughts scattered. She had spent the day attending meetings for a project she had been managing, and exhaustion was beginning to creep in. Still, she was eager to get home, where Chris’s calm presence would ease her tension. The sun had dipped below the horizon, and the sky was painted in hues of orange and purple. The roads, though less congested than earlier, were still busy with vehicles rushing to their destinations. Stephany sighed, turning on the radio to drown out her thoughts. As she approached the intersection leading to the highway, she pressed down on the brake pedal. Nothing happened. Her heart skipped a beat. She pressed harder, but the car didn’t slow down. Instead, it continued to pick up speed, the engine humming with a terrifying relentlessness. Her pulse quickened. She pumped the brakes again, this time with all her strength, bu
The Return Of The Lame Son In Law. 275, A Close Call
Chapter 275: A Close CallChris stepped out of the office later than usual, his mind filled with the day’s events. Georgina’s recent actions and her growing desperation were troubling, but he felt oddly calm. The satisfaction of being steps ahead of her had left him feeling in control, but there was still a nagging sense of unease he couldn’t shake. Sliding into the driver’s seat of his sleek black car, Chris started the engine, the low rumble reverberating in the quiet parking lot. It was late, and the roads would be relatively clear. He planned to take the scenic route home, where he could enjoy a rare moment of solitude before the usual chaos of life greeted him. The car pulled out of the lot smoothly, and he shifted into gear, accelerating onto the main road. As he drove, the city lights blurred into streaks of gold and white, and the hum of the tires on the asphalt was almost soothing. But then, something felt… off. The steering wheel seemed heavier than usual, almost
The Return Of The Lame Son In Law. 276, Quiet Retribution
Chapter 276: Quiet RetributionChris arrived at his office early the next morning, his mind sharp and focused despite the chaos of the previous night. He had barely slept, but the adrenaline coursing through him was more than enough to fuel his resolve. Georgina had crossed a line. Attempting to sabotage his car wasn’t just reckless—it was personal. She had shown her willingness to go to extreme lengths to take him down, and Chris knew he couldn’t let her actions slide. However, an open confrontation wasn’t his style. Subtlety was always more effective. As he entered his private office in MTD Entertainment, the glass walls offering a panoramic view of the city, Chris loosened his tie and took a seat behind his desk. His assistant, Evelyn, walked in moments later, a tablet in hand. "Good morning, sir," she said, her tone professional but warm. “Your schedule for today is ready, but I also have the reports from Sterling Heritage you requested." Chris gestured for her to s
