The Secret Heir Of Slytherin Empire

15. I have another job for you

Meanwhile, at the Slytherin mansion, Amy Slytherin was having a heated argument with her brother-in-law over the current update.

Aiden had gotten the news that Slytherin Empire now had a new CEO, a position that he ought to have taken in his brother's absence, and he was furious.

He drove to the Slytherin mansion that morning to see Amy and hoped that the news he heard was fake, and someone was playing a trick on him.

"Of course, I made him the CEO, what else do you want to know?" Amy asked Aiden with a quizzical expression, she was seated on the living room couch with an apathetic expression.

Ever since her husband disappeared two months ago, she saw how eager Aiden was to take over the role of acting CEO in his absence. Before now, she always felt like Aiden was jealous of his brother's success and would do anything to take what was his.

Even though Aston made him one of the senior associates, she couldn't help but feel that Aiden wanted more. If Aston doesn't trust his brother well enough to make him a managing director, why should she trust him?

Seeing Oscar was a dream come true for her, because she was left with no other choice but to declare Aiden the acting CEO. Because as far as culture and politics were involved, he was the next heir since she had no son.

"What else do I want to know?" Aiden asked her, his voice was loud enough to be heard from the outside.

"What I want to know, Amy is why you made a total stranger the CEO...

"Correction," she interjected,

"I made my son, the true Slytherin heir, I made him the acting CEO." She added and crossed her legs before sipping from the glass of wine on her table. Her sassy behaviour was targeted at making Aiden more offended, and showing him that she never had an interest in making him CEO.

"If I remember correctly," she continued,

"You were the one who mentioned that it's only right for the next of kin to play that role, we found the next of kin, so why does it bother you so much?"

"A random man you found on the street last night, Amy?" Aiden snapped with a disappointed expression,

"For all we know, he may not even be a true Slytherin, you just assumed that. You are only doing this because Aston gave you so much power over the company...

"Yes, Aiden," Amy stood up and looked at her brother-in-law directly into the eyes,

"I am second, and yes I decide what goes and what doesn't. Since the so-called culture of your people will not let me take over, I've given it to my son, because I can, and there is nothing anyone can do about it." She concluded and walked passed him.

If she doesn't end this conversation, Aiden will make it last long enough, until they come to a conclusion that will favour him.

Just as she headed for the stairs, Aiden uttered,

"You will regret doing this, Amy."

The lady paused, turned to her brother-in-law, and with a disdainful glare, she replied,

"If you dare try to lay a hand on my son, Aiden, you will see a side to me that you have never seen before."

"I have gone through hell in the hands of your family, I've been accused of being the cause of my son's disappearance when it was your brother's fault, your family still blame me for your brother's disappearance, and they blame me for his ill health. Your family stops at nothing to make me look like a bad person, but I have survived and I have had enough." Amy lamented while trying not to cry.

"Just touch Oscar, and trust me Aiden, I will end your life, and it's not just a threat. I will do it...

"I have just recorded your statement, you had better stop speaking now, or you will find yourself facing the law," Aiden warned her, holding up his phone as proof.

"Haha," Amy laughed menacingly,

"Record my voice over and over again, and I will say it, I'll end you if you touch Oscar, your family will no longer treat me like a wimp." She concluded and walked up the stairs.

She had had enough and could only thank the heavens that Oscar was brought to her last night. She also had doubts about Oscar being her son, but she didn't want to change her mind.

Oscar was under her control and would only do what she asked him to do, and to Amy, that was a hundred times better than someone with a diabolical plot that she knew nothing about. It may sound crazy but yes, she trusted a total stranger over her brother-in-law.

As for Aiden, he just stood downstairs thinking about what had happened, he was so upset that he wanted to strangle Oscar on the spot even though he had not seen him.

He couldn't believe that the once silent Amy was now more prideful and powerful than ever, and he blamed his brother for all of this.

"If only he had made me second after him, none of this would be happening right now," He thought, with a frown plastered on his face.

"But no, he chose to give it to his wife, a woman! for Christ's sake who gives such a post to a woman?" He almost threw his phone across the room in anger.

"Oscar huh?" He mumbled,

"I don't care what you say, Amy, threatening me from now till tomorrow will not stop me from doing what I must do. I'll get rid of Oscar, and as for you Amy, I know just how to take care of you." He thought to himself with an evil smirk.

He searched through the contacts on his phone, and as soon as he saw who he was looking for, he dialled the number,

"Hello, I have another job for you." He said with a menacing grin.
