SEVEN

They drove down to Stephenson Cooperation, which was a very large company. The biggest in the city, so many media reporters were already waiting for the arrival of the new CEO. However Harvey didn't find all this necessary, he wasn't the kind of person that likes showing off, and he preferred to remain a low profile.

"Do you call all the reporters here?" Harvey asked Prof Jason.

"Yes I did Master Harvey, today is a very big day, the world should be aware of the arrival of the new heir of the Stephenson cooperation." Prof Jason replied.

"I don't find all these necessary Jason, I don't want all these to be on the Internet," Harvey said.

"What do you mean Master Harvey?" Prof Jason asked in curiosity.

"Don't get me wrong, but I want to remain anonymous, I have my reasons, I can be recognized within the cooperation but prefer to be on a low profile outside," Harvey explained.

"Ok, Master Harvey, whatever you say will be respected. I will send the men to send back the reporters."

Prof Jason brought out his phone and gave an order to his men, they came out of their vans and instructed all the reporters to move aside, although most of them were stubborn. They all want to take pictures of the new richest man in the city.

Harvey stepped down from his car, and his guards surrounded him, so he wouldn't be snapped by the reporters. They then walked inside the mansion, and Prof Jason led him to the board office.

Harvey walked in and all the board members were present waiting for their new boss.

They all rose and greeted their new boss, "Welcome to the team Mr. Harvey Stephenson." They all said with respect.

Harvey recognized most of the people on the board, they were one of the most influential billionaires in the city, and most of them were highly respected even by the state government. And to think they were now his subordinates is massive. What else could he possibly ask for, with this power he could achieve whatever he wants in the world.

"It's an honour to meet you too," Harvey responded and then took a seat at the edge of the long table.

One of the board members, Mr. Johnson, clears his throat and addresses Harvey, "Mr. Stephenson, we're thrilled to have you join us as our new CEO. Your experience and leadership will undoubtedly shape the future of our company. We would be honored if you could share with us your vision and goals for our organization. Perhaps you could outline your strategic priorities and how you envision guiding us toward success in the coming years."

"It's an honor to be here with you all today. As your new CEO, I pledge to do everything within my power to guide this company into a new era of success. Although I am new to this role, I assure you that my enthusiasm for our shared vision is unwavering.

"Together, we will not only maintain our leadership position in this city, but we will also expand our reach beyond these borders. We will become a global powerhouse in our industry, setting new standards of excellence."

The whole board members clapped, Prof Jason smiled, Harvey looked and behaved like his father Clement Stephenson.

The board meeting was almost over when someone badged into the office.

It was his stepbrother Henry and stepmother, Sarah.

"You! How dare you step foot in my father's company!?" Henry stormed, pointing his fingers at Harvey.

"Respect yourself sir Henry, or else we would send the security on you." Prof Jason threatened as he moved to the side of Harvey to protect him.

"Shut up you old man, this company belongs to my son. His father wrote all his will in his name, you can't bring this abandoned son here to claim everything we worked so hard for." Sarah chipped in.

"According to the law, everything now belongs to Master Harvey." Prof Jason said.

"What's going on?"

"Please make sure your family matters don't affect the company, Mr. Stephenson," Johnson said to Harvey.

"Can you all take this home and not interrupt the board?"

Seeing the commotion Prof Jason tried to handle the situation.

"Please madam Sarah, let's not do this here, you're making a scene in front of our business partners." Prof Jason said.

"I don't care! This whole company should be my son's, but no. You betrayed us and gave it to some stranger."

"He looked so local, I'm sure he didn't even finish his university, how dare he try to take what's mine?" Henry attacked Harvey.

Harvey clenched his fist, gone are the days when he would allow anyone to insult him, he wasn't going to tolerate this.

"Watch how you speak to me!" Harvey warned.

"Or else what? What are you going to do?"

"Prof Jason, call the security and throw them out," Harvey instructed.

"Yes, Master Harvey."

"What are you trying to do? You're calling the security for us? I am the wife of the late Clement Stephenson!" Sarah yelled.

"And I am the new heir, my decision will be final."

The security badged in and they took the mother and son away.

"This isn't the end, loser, I'll get back at you, I will come with my lawyer. This company belongs to me, and only me!" Henry barked as he was being dragged out.

"I'm so sorry to convince everyone, this won't happen again." Harvey apologized to the board members.

"It's okay Mr. Stephenson."

"We shall call this a day everyone, I will inform you all when the next meeting will be held," Harvey said.

They all nodded and stood up and shook his hands before leaving the office.

"Sorry about those two Master Harvey, I will handle the matter the soonest," Prof assured.

"Have they been doing this often?" Harvey asked.

"Yes, ever since Clement Stephenson died they had been trying to claim everything. Although his lawyer had declared his will strictly stating your name as the new heir, they still wouldn't believe it, they thought I bribed the lawyer to do so."

"And what about the tape have they listened to it?" Harvey asked.

"No, not yet you are the only one that has listened to his tape. As instructed by Master Clement before he died." Prof Jason said.

"What about my sister?"

"Oh yes, she has been transferred to the city's best hospital and is currently undergoing VIP treatment."

"Alright, that is good."

A young man with glasses hurried towards them, he seemed eager.
