Brian searched through the files quickly, looking for important information. Just then, Albert came in, looking worried, his once calm face etched with concern. "Master, I think I know why the stock market is dropping rapidly against us. It's because of a rumor," Albert said. "People are saying mean things about you. It's all over the Internet. They're saying you're not smart enough to be the CEO. Plus, they even called you uneducated.They’re really taking things too far."Brian sighed, frustrated. "So now people think I'm not smart enough? How far will they go to make me quit my position as the CEO, my right as the successor to my father. Haven't they done enough?"Brian shook his head, thinking about who might be spreading the rumors. "This is just a mean trick to make me look bad. But I won't let them get away with it."he said, his fists clenched by his sides. Albert nodded. "I'm already working on a statement to fix the rumor. Master, We'll find out who's behind this and clear y
Brian turned the directors and smiled, “Yes, I promise not to let you all down. Now we need to find a solution to this matter.If this issue started with a rumor, how can we tackle it?” A director then said, “Mr Duke, since it's because of a certification. I'm certain you went to college. Let's upload your certificates online and silence them completely.” But Brian shook his head. "Even if I show them my certificate, people will still doubt me. They'll say I'm not good enough to be in charge. We need to find out who's spreading these rumors and make them tell the truth in a meeting."Brian noticed the young man who had a conversation with Brandon moments ago. He was acting nervous, fidgeting with his hands and looking around the room. Brian thought something was suspicious. Brian turned to Silas, his voice cold and threatening. "Why are you trembling, Silas?" he asked, his eyes narrowing.Silas stuttered, trying to defend himself, but no words came out. He was scared and didn't know
Back at the Duke's Empire, Brian informed Reed to plan a press conference immediately. Not wanting to waste a second as the Duke empire fate was depending greatly on the press conference. …In a large room, reporters were seated calmly, a disturbed expression etched on their face. If the CEO of the Duke's empire had an explanation for the trending news on the Internet, then they were eager to hear it. The rate at which their stock was dropping was alarming, instilling fear in even the hearts of the workers. Sighting Brian and Silas walk into the hall, they hurriedly dashed forward and pushed through the crowd, trying to get a statement from Brian. However, they were blocked by the well built bodyguards guards who had a stern expression on their face. Brian calmly walked over to the front seat and sat down. The only thing left for him to do was watch how Silas was going to handle the matter. The stock was dropping rapidly, and the thought of this weighed heavily on Brian's shoulders
Few weeks later, Lady Elizabeth was seated calmly in her office, gently tapping her fingers on the desk. Turning to her assistant, “Call me Tyla.” She ordered, opening the cabinet to get a file from it. Moments later, Tyla strode in, swaying her hips as she walked. “Grandma, you sent for me?” She asked softly, pulling the chair to have a seat. “Is anything the matter?” Lady Elizabeth exhaled slowly, “Tyla, there's something I need you to do.” She began, “You and your husband, Martin should go to Brian's company and settle scores with him. If you are required to beg, then do it. We need to have the Duke's Empire on our side.” Tyla scoffed, glaring at Lady Elizabeth with contempt, “Grandma, you want me to beg Brian? Just because he's rich now?” Lady Elizabeth said, "Tyla, you really need to beg him, alongside Martin. Begging him would favor us greatly. Lyra had refused to beg him, and now it's left to us."Tyla's expression suddenly changed, her face squeezing in anger. "Grandma, h
Martin turned to Tyla, “Let's just do as she says.” he said and Tyla left angrily, her heels making a clicky sound on the ground. Bowing slightly to Lady Elizabeth, Martin then said, “Grandma, I'll proceed to his company now and do as you have said.” Delighted by Martin's response, Lady Elizabeth smiled brightly, “Good. By doing this, you're indirectly helping yourself.” Martin nodded and turned around to leave. Immediately he left Lady Elizabeth's office, his expression changed slightly. Clenching his fists by his sides, “I would rather die than beg Brian!” he mumbled in a barely audible voice. Few hours later, Tyla and Martin drove over to the Duke's Empire headquarters which was in Ashton Hills. Getting down from the car, Tyla was completely astonished by the magnificent building which stood tall and unique, but each time she remembers how lucky her sister was, it always seemed to get on her nerves. While Tyla was still admiring the structure of the building, Martin was already
Then, a young staff member approached Martin with a tab in his hands. Placing it In front of him, “Mr, do you know you can be sued for doing this?!” He said, his voice cold and threatening. Martin's eyes Widened in surprise, his body trembling tremendously, “W…h..” he stuttered. His eyes darted around Brian and the staff. Brian grinned, “Martin, you think you can just execute this and leave? Or do you think you can easily beat the security camera in an establishment as big as this? No! Not in the Duke's Empire!” He yelled. If he was the one Martin targeted, perhaps he wouldn't have been this angry, but targeting the Duke's Empire was the height of it. “Martin, why on earth would you try to duplicate all our important files?! Don't you know the value of each of the files you were trying to duplicate?!” Martin hung his head low. Surprised by how Brian figured it out. However, Tyla was beyond being surprised. Her husband had another motive for coming to the company, and she just found
After ending the meeting with the Tycoon 6, Brian's mind was occupied with the task he was asked to accomplish. Seated in his Brand new catch car, he got quite the attention as people pointed at the exquisite Car.“Isn't that the limited edition Ferrari 250 GTO? I heard it costs about $48 million.” The onlookers whispered among themselves as they watched the eye-catching car speed off. Reaching the company, Brian hurriedly walked to his office, his staff bowing in respect as they saw him strode in. Brian smiled brightly, acknowledging their respect for him. Immediately Brian entered his office, he placed a call across to Albert who came in a few minutes later. “Master” he bowed slightly and Brian instructed him to sit. “Albert, there's something I need to share with you.” He began as he leaned close. Albert frowned a little, “What's the matter, Master?” He asked.Brian sighed, “Did you know my Father was the former leader of the Tycoon 6?” he asked, making Albert avert his gaze, “Ma
“Yes, he's a member of Tycoon 6.” Josh said as he stared at Martin. Just after a few months, Brian seemed to be getting better and better, making Martin surprised on a daily basis. The same Brian who they would insult and mock was now ruling them. Ryan then said, “If Brian is really a member of Tycoon 6, then we have to stop him from becoming the leader. If he becomes the Leader, Duke's Empire will thrive more and will be unstoppable, and my father won't be happy about that.” Martin nodded, “Yes, we have to stop him.” His eyes clouded with jealousy. Why does Brian have to have all the good things he had never had. Even his father, the owner of the Scotts Empire, was never invited nor qualified to become a member. How special was Brian to be made a member of Tycoon 6?Meanwhile, in the Duke's Empire, Albert approached Brian with a file in his hands. “Master, I've found it. I also instructed someone to print it out to make it easier.” Satisfied,Brian stretched his hands and collected
