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.
"Greetings, Mr. Harvey," he said, extending a hand in greeting. "I am Dant Smith, the company's new business strategist and IT chairman. It's a pleasure to finally meet you. I've heard many great things about this company, sir, and I'm excited to contribute to our mutual success."Harvey, who had been silently observing the exchange, stepped forward and offered a firm handshake to Dant. "Nice to meet you, Dant," he said. "I look forward to working with you and seeing what you can bring to the table." His tone sounded like how any CEO would sound like, confidence.Professor Jason, eager to build rapport, added, "Master Harvey, I believe that Dant here is truly exceptional. He's one of the most talented individuals I've had the pleasure of working with, and I'm confident that his skills will be a significant asset to our team.""That's great.""Thank you very much, sir, looking forward to working greatly with you." Dant shook his hands."I'll leave you two here for a while, and Master H
THE CITY'S HOSPITALHarvey drove to the new hospital his sister was admitted to, he wasn't with much security just him and Prof Jason.They parked their car at the entrance of the building and Prof Jason opened the car for his boss to come out.Harvey dipped his hands in his pocket as they walked into the hospital. Seeing how elegant he was looking, all the staff were treating him like a king and asking for his request.He only asked for the receptionist's office and enquired about his sister's room.They were taken there.Nadia was now looking alright more than the way she was looking more better compared to when she was in that cheap hospital."Nadia." He called."Harvey? Is this you?" She was more than shocked seeing his transformation, he was now looking like the government of a state. Even his perfume was top-notch, from his feet to the expensive Rolex watch on his wrist, he was impeccable."Yes, Nadia."Harvey smiled, then went to sit beside her."So tell me, how did everything
Lewis and his friends launched their attack, but Harvey was swift and agile. He dodged their blows with ease, delivering precise and powerful strikes. One by one, they fell, unable to match his skill and speed. Within minutes, the arrogant group was on the ground, groaning in pain.Harvey quickly called the police, making it seem like Prof Jason had reported the incident. When the officers arrived, they found the young men attempting to assault an elderly man after damaging his car. The police wasted no time in arresting them.In no time, the news of Lewis’ arrest reached the Andersons, and it was evident that they were in hot waters. With their wealth and influence, they attempted to intervene and secure their son's release. However, Harvey had already pulled strings within the police department secretly. Despite their best efforts, the authorities stood firm, citing the seriousness of the assault and the solid evidence against the boys.At the police station, Lewis's father, Mr. An
Mr. Michael Anderson's face was a mask of frustration as he paced back and forth in his lavish living room. His son Lewis had been detained for almost a month, and the only thing on his mind was finding out who had the influence to keep him locked up despite his best efforts to pull strings. It was an insult to his personality.Finally, Lewis had been released, but the whole event left a bitter taste in Michael's mouth. He couldn't stop the feeling that someone powerful was working against him, and he was eager to find out who.Michael slammed the phone down after another fruitless call. "This is absurd! How can no one know anything? I have connections in every major department, and yet, no one can tell me who has this much influence!"Eloise Anderson, his wife, looked up from her book, trying to calm him. "Darling, maybe it's time to let it go. Lewis is home now, and that's what matters.""Let it go? How can I let it go when someone out there has more power over the police than I do?
The EncounterMr. Michael Anderson had been searching for Harvey for weeks. Ever since the series of unfortunate events that left his son Lewis humiliated and his company on the brink of bankruptcy, Michael had become increasingly obsessed with finding out who was responsible. He couldn't nod off the feeling that Harvey, whom he had always looked down upon, might have played a role in their downfall. However, he still believed Harvey was nothing more than a poor, pathetic burden.Doing everything he can to prevent his company from falling, Michael decided to visit the Stephenson Corporation. He knew they were one of the major players in the city and thought that someone there might have information or could help him. After a long meeting, which yielded no useful information, Michael was leaving the building, fuming with frustration.As he walked out of the towering glass doors, Michael's sharp eyes caught sight of a familiar face standing by the entrance. Luckily for Harvey, he was si
The Anderson MansionHarvey took a deep breath as he approached the grand entrance of the Anderson mansion. The imposing structure dominated above him, its high pillars and decorated design exuding wealth and power. A place that brought him bitter memories. It still felt fresh in his mind. He knew that stepping inside would be like walking into a lion’s den, but he had no choice. Mr. Michael had demanded his presence, and Harvey intended to keep his word, no matter how distasteful the visit would be.He rang the doorbell, and after a few moments, the heavy wooden door creaked open. Garcia, his ex-wife, stood in the doorway, her eyes narrowing in disdain when she saw him. From the look on her face, it was obvious that she hated him with everything in her.“What are you doing here?” she snapped, not bothering with pleasantries.“Your father asked me to come,” Harvey replied calmly. Not caring to greet her. Garcia stepped aside, allowing him to enter while eyeing and hissing. As Harvey
The humiliation At The Anderson’s MansionMr Micheal looked at Harvey for a long time and hissed before asking him the questions that were on his mind.“Okay. Harvey, tell me why you came late. I told you to come earlier, why do you have to undermine my warning?” Michael demanded, his voice was cold and intimidating.Harvey hesitated, knowing that whatever excuse he gave would be misjudged. Though he totally forgot, he wasn't scared of Anderson. “I was held up by some personal matters. I apologize for the delay. I didn't mean to disrespect you.”Michael’s eyes flashed with anger. “Personal matters? That’s your excuse? Do you even have a life? What matter can be more important than my house? Harvey. Not for one second. But we’ll come back to that later. First, I want to know what you know about the person who locked my son up. Who detained Lewis for over a month?”Harvey felt a chill run down his spine. He had expected this question, but now that it was here, he knew he had to tread ca
Professor Jason nodded, his eyes glinting with approval. “There’s a high-profile event coming up. The Andersons are planning to announce their reclaimed contract publicly. It’s the perfect opportunity to strike.”Harvey’s mind raced with possibilities. “We’ll need to disrupt the event in a way that publicly embarrasses Lewis, especially in front of the key investors and partners. It has to be something they can’t recover from.”As the date of the event approached, tension built on both sides. The Andersons were confident in their approaching success, having managed to reclaim the contract and feeling they were on the brink of discovering who had been behind Lewis’s detention. They had no idea that Harvey was one step ahead, planning their downfall with meticulous precision.On the day of the event, the Andersons arrived in high spirits. The venue was an affluent ballroom, filled with the city’s most influential business figures, investors, and media. The atmosphere was electric with e
