The silence in the courtroom was defeating with hearts racing fast as they await the judge's verdict. The Judge cleared his throat once more, trying to dissipate the tensions he could sense from the crowd, "Firstly, We have no case here but the Williams decided to make a mountain out of a molehill because of greed and dishonesty," he flipped the page of the document in front of him, "I'll come back to them shortly," "Mr. Theodore Williams," the Judge called out, his voice edged with simmering anger, "make your way to the witness box."Uncle Theodore, pale and shaking, was suffocating under the weight of the Judge's words and the piercing stares of the courtroom. Slowly, he made his way to the witness box, each step feeling like a mile as he navigated the distance between shame and accountability.The courtroom watched his progression in stony silence, the air electric with anticipation as everyone waited to see what the Judge had in store for the disgraced man."You have been found
The news of Avery's victory over the Williams family had spread like wildfire, with everyone from staff to shareholders feeling the ripple effects of the dramatic power shift.Mr West Williams, still reeling from the harsh punishment he had been dealt, called an emergency meeting to address the company's employees and investors. The mood was somber, the atmosphere tense with anticipation as they waited for what was to come.Raphael, the nephew of Avery, who had been out of town for business and had not been privy to the courtroom drama, was particularly angered by the news. He walked into the company that morning, his face flushed with anger and his eyes narrowed in contempt."This is an outrage!" he spat, his voice ringing through the room. "How dare you let a woman take over our company?"Mr West Williams stood at the front of the room, his face a mask of resignation. "It is not a matter of letting her, but rather accepting the reality of the situation."everyone arrived at the Conf
Jeremy took his wife shopping in preparation for her new position as the Williams CEO. He made sure she got the finest of things and when she questioned how he got so much money to spend, he used his usual lines " It's the money from Noah or Steve."The next day, Avery entered the company premises with the stride of a CEO and the grace of a queen, her self-assurance boosted by her husband Jeremy's praise. As she stepped into the auditorium, her staff greeted her warmly, their cheers and smiles reflecting the respect she commanded.However, among the crowd of well-wishers stood Raphael, a scowl on his face and anger burning in his eyes. It was clear that he was ready to nurse the resentment brewing in him since the last conference meeting. Avery acknowledged the staff with a nod, her posture radiating authority. "Thank you all for the warm welcome," she said, her voice strong and confident. "I know that many of you are wondering about the changes that are coming to this company. Rest
The company's adviser walked into Raphael's office with so much fear. Everyone in the company dreaded Raphael's wrath because he was the one in charge of employing and sacking staff. He was the chief disciplinarian and also the former Acting CEO's Right-hand man. Raphael knew that Avery would never offer him the position of her right-hand man, and the thought of serving under a woman only fueled his resentment towards her. His pride had been wounded by her sudden elevation, and he was determined to do everything in his power to undermine her authority."You sent for me sir..." The Adviser stuttered as he walked into the office. "Yes, I did. Have you seated," Raphael commanded with a hardened tone that sent shivers down the Adviser's spine as he quietly sat down.As Raphael paced around his office looking worried, the Adviser anticipated what he had to say with bated breath. "Sir, you look worried. Is anything the matter?" He managed to ask when he noticed Raphael was not ready to
As the weeks went by, Avery's leadership skills were impressive and everyone could see a tremendous change in the company's administration. The adviser ran towards Avery the moment she arrived that morning. Ever since he was appointed one of her trustees, he has been trying to penetrate and carry out Raphael's plan but all attempts have proven abortive. The night before, Raphael had called the adviser, his devious mind concocting a risky yet potentially brilliant scheme. The adviser listened, his hands trembling as Raphael laid out his plan. The adviser's attempts to devise a plan had proven futile, and he was desperate for a solution that would ensure his survival, even if it meant diving headfirst into Raphael's dangerous plot. With little other choice, the adviser reluctantly agreed to go along with Raphael's plan. "Good morning, madam," The adviser greeted reaching for her bag to take it from her."Good morning," Avery responded, her voice carrying the same respectful tone. Des
With a nod, the adviser set about carrying out his orders, doing his best to keep his demeanor composed despite the dread bubbling in his stomach.Over the next few days, he made a series of questionable purchases, using Avery's company card. From a yacht rental to a trip to a remote island, he ensured that the receipts would paint a damning picture when presented to the board of directors.At the same time, Raphael was working behind the scenes, discreetly planting rumors and whispers about Avery's misuse of company funds.The whispers spread like wildfire, causing the flames of discontent within the company. The board of directors began to take notice, and soon, rumors of Avery's imminent removal began circulating.In the midst of all this, Avery was unaware as she was so focused on her work and plans on how to bring back the company's glory once Blue Silver Entertainment Company pays her for emerging their winner, she trusted the adviser to handle the welcome party preparations as
During the board meeting the following day, Avery suggested the idea of joining the Female CEO association, which gathered mixed reactions from the team.Raphael, with his trademark mockery, derided Avery’s suggestion. "How can someone afraid of making decisions lead this company?" he scoffed.Avery, unmoved by his remark, calmly retorted, "I never said I was afraid of making decisions. I'm a leader, not a boss.Raphael's face reddened, his body tensing with anger at Avery's cutting remark. "You're not fit to lead," he hissed through gritted teeth, glaring at her with venomous eyes.But Avery, to the amazement of her staff, remained composed and unflustered. She gave a small smile, and continued, "But I'm doing it perfectly already,"As Avery maintained her confident demeanor, Raphael seethed internally. "We shall soon see what a leader can be reduced to, bastard," he muttered under his breath, venom dripping from every word.With that, he stood up and left the boardroom while the mee
At precisely noon, Jeremy's Uber pulled up to the company's front door, and Avery stepped out to join him looking more relaxed. "I'd love to eat a traditional dish today. I miss spicy food and there's a newly opened fancy restaurant down the street," Avery said calmly.As the Uber sped through the city streets, Jeremy smiled at Avery's suggestion, eager to please his wife. "Any dish for the world's best CEO," he said, delight dancing in his eyes. "Spicy and traditional sounds perfect."Avery smiled back, her mood lifted by her husband's playfulness. "You know how to charm a girl, don't you, Mr. Jeremy?" she teased.The Uber driver, silently observing the love and respect between the couple in his rearview mirror, couldn't help but think to himself, "They're a perfect match, these two."As the Uber pulled into the parking lot of the traditional eatery, Avery and Jeremy stepped out. A trail of sleek, high-end cars rolled into the parking lot, turning heads and drawing admiring glances
