Elvira’s POV

What nonsense was Ace spewing? How can I be his only family when we are not even related by blood?

“I want you to look into Ace, help me find out what type of drugs he is on,” I said when we got into the car. He has definitely lost a screw.

“I will have my team access the drive while you go into the office,” Becky said then started the car and drove off.

We arrived at the office just in time for work, and the entrance was busy with people going in and out. I came down from the car with a smile on my face. Finally, Jordan’s Electronics is mine.

I happily walked to Casper’s office while the staff greeted, whispers flew from all sides. The hallway brought back a lot of memories, both the good and bad memories.

I gently opened the door to see Calix sitting on the chair, “What are you doing here?” I gently asked as I entered the office.

“I thought I would greet the new CEO before anyone does,” Calix said, his voice calm, yet his face was emotionless, or rather, I would say I still don’t know how to read his emotions.

“Did you bring drinks for the celebration?” I raised my eyes.

“We could have that at home,” Calix said as he stood up from the chair. “Were you able to find anything about that man?”

“Which man?” Then it suddenly hit me, “Yes I have given it to Becky.”

“Okay then,” Calix said, “I should get going now, the one you just deposed would be here soon.”

“Thank you,” I said genuinely grateful, “I didn’t know you had a grandfather, I thought it was only you and Ciera.”

“Elvira,” Calix suddenly called my name sternly, “You shouldn’t try to find out anything about me, you should only accept the help I give to you, and also the investigation officer will raid the office in the next hour,” Calix said, then walked out of the office.

That was strange, I took a deep breath and decided to ignore whatever had just happened. He was right, I shouldn’t interfere in his life, I should complete my mission, and we would go our separate ways.

I walked around the office, throwing things I didn’t need to the floor, nothing in this office even reminded him of me. I scoffed as I saw his family portrait on the desk.

I laughed mentally, never thought he had one of us. I picked up the portrait and threw it against the wall and it immediately scattered. I traced my fingertips on the name plate, “CEO Casper Jordon.” I read the name out loud, then threw it on the floor, and it scattered.

“Have you gone mad!!” I heard the familiar voice yelling from behind.

I turned to face him, looking him in the eyes, and I said, “Weren’t you taught to knock before entering someone’s office?”

Casper stared at me with disbelief as he unconsciously took a step back, “Elvira?”

I purposely did not change my name; I wanted my name to always echo in their head. I wanted them to suffer and always remember what they did to the old Elvira.

“Elvira? Do I know you?” I questioned, and Capser didn’t utter a single word, but his eyes held a lot of questions: “Shouldn’t you address me right?” I furrowed my eyebrow when he was still lost, and the disbelief was still on his face.

Casper’s face turned from shock to anger, “Get out of my office now!! Otherwise, I will call the security.”

“You should be the one leaving my office,” I took a step from his front and pointed at the telephone, “You can call the security.”

“What?” The expression of confusion I wanted to see on his face was displayed so clearly.

“I’m guessing you were the former CEO…. Anyway, I’m the current CEO,” I said with a straight face.

Casper burst into loud laughter, “Now I must be hallucinating…. Not only am I seeing a dead woman, but I’m also hearing that woman speak.”

I didn’t have the strength to speak too much, so I walked to the desk, picked up the telephone, and called the security guard.

“I think you should check the platform before speaking,” I said as I took the seat opposite him.

I watched Casper bring out his phone to check the platform. Just like I had expected, the color drained from his face as he went through the messages.

I don’t know what was on the platform either, but I do know that the shareholders' meeting and the appointment of the new CEO were announced there.

I turned on the TV to see if the news was out, and it was already out, “Kyrell’s group just acquired Jordon’s Electronics as the highest shareholder of the company and has made his wife the current CEO.”

Casper raised his eyes from his phone and glared straight at me, “Who are you?” I kept quiet, my eyes focused on the TV, “I asked who the fuck you are!!” He yelled as he threw a flower vase toward the TV.

“I will make sure to remove that from your salary,” I said calmly.

Those were the exact words I was being told, if you do this, I will take it out of your monthly allowance, even if our child broke something, I will be the one to pay, and it was one of those chicken change called an allowance.

“Salary? This is my freaking company!! I worked my sweat off and who the fuck are you?” Anger was evident in Casper’s voice, “You look exactly like that dead woman!”

“Ma’am you sent for us,” One of the security said when they entered my office.

“Do you know him?” I asked them, “Look carefully and give an answer.”

The security guards looked at each other then one of them said, “He is Mr Casper Jordon, the former CEO of Jordon’s Electronics.”

“Do you know who I am?” I asked and they glanced at each other.

“You are Mrs Elvira Kyrell, the newly appointed CEO of Jordan’s Electronics,” The security guard answered nervously.

“Good,” I responded, “Then kindly explain that to Mr Jordan, otherwise you will lose your job.”

“This is ridiculous!” Casper snapped, “Who the fuck are you!! Why do you look like Elvira! Why is your name Elvira? Who are you!!”

“Escort him out of my office and have someone clean out the trash,” I instructed the security guards. “Mr Jordan, you should watch the news. I have prepared a surprise for you.”

“I don’t know who the fuck you are but one thing I know is I won’t spare you!” Casper yelled as she was being led out of the office.

This was only the beginning. I will crumble all of you for everything, and that’s my promise.
