Navia didn't have the heart to say it outright.

Watching Leonel finish scaling the fish, she cautiously reached out.

"Mr. Crawford, the scales are done, so next-"

"I know," Leonel replied calmly. "Remove the insides, right?"

His deep voice sounded especially attractive in the warm kitchen lighting.

The sleeves of his dress shirt were rolled up, exposing strong forearms, while the black gemstone cufflinks at his wrists reflected a subtle gleam.

In his hand was an expensive Japanese chef's knife,

    Navia smiled apologetically."I'm sorry, Attorney Reed, but I can't make it public yet. You'll probably find out next month."The Harrison family was wealthy, but compared to a century-old dynasty like the Crawfords, they weren't even in the same league.Besides, it would be better if the Crawford family announced the marriage themselves.Not to mention, she had only recently broken off her engagement with Liam Crawford. If news suddenly leaked that she had married Leonel Crawford instead, the backlash would only grow worse.Attorney Reed wasn't the gossiping type. He simply nodded."I'm sure you have your reasons, Miss Harrison. Chairwoman Harrison truly had good judgment. You really are the best person to inherit Harrison Group."Navia's cheeks warmed slightly at the praise."You're giving me too much credit," she said with a laugh. "I'm still basically a rookie. I still have a lot to learn.""Not at all." Attorney Reed smiled and patte

    "I don't want the position of Creative Director anymore," Navia said calmly. "I want the General Manager position instead."Daniel Harrison was the first to object."No. Absolutely not!"But Navia didn't even bother looking at him.This wasn't a decision Daniel alone could make. The board still had the final say.She turned toward the directors seated around the conference table."What do you all think?"The board members exchanged uneasy glances.Although Navia had only been with the company for a year, promoting her to General Manager this quickly was clearly unconventional. Still, it was far better than allowing her to become a board member outright.After all, she now held ten percent of Harrison Group's shares, and Attorney Reed was backing her publicly. None of them were willing to openly antagonize her.One of the older directors forced a smile."Navia, your ambition is admirable, but you're still yo

    The inheritance documents spilled across the conference table, instantly drawing everyone's attention.The paperwork clearly stated that shortly after Navia Harrison was born, Evelyn Harrison had transferred ten percent of Harrison Group shares into a Cayman Islands trust fund.Jonathan Reed had been appointed trustee.Navia was listed as the sole beneficiary.And the inheritance condition was simple: once Navia reached adulthood and legally married, ownership of the ten percent shares would transfer fully into her hands.The atmosphere inside the boardroom changed completely.Not only Daniel Harrison, but every director present looked visibly shaken.No one had expected the girl they thought they could pressure so easily to suddenly become one of the company's largest shareholders overnight.One of the directors immediately spoke up."What exactly is going on here, Mr. Reed? None of us were informed about this arrangement beforehand. You

    Navia's expression turned cold as she changed direction completely."Since everyone here considers themselves close family friends of the Harrisons," she said slowly, "then for the sake of the Harrison family and the company, I should listen to your opinions."Her gaze sharpened instantly."But tell me this-""Why does an illegitimate daughter deserve a place inside Harrison Group?"The moment those words fell, every face in the boardroom changed.Daniel Harrison slammed both hands onto the conference table with a thunderous bang."Navia Harrison!" he roared. "Have you lost your mind?!""No," Navia shot back immediately. "I think you've lost yours."Her voice rang through the room without the slightest hesitation."You're the acting CEO of Harrison Group, yet you're openly abusing your position to install your mistress's daughter into the company for personal reasons."She stared directly into his eyes.

    Navia didn't move an inch.Linda frowned. "Why are you still standing there staring at me? Don't tell me you're thinking about hitting me?"Now that she had security guards surrounding the office, Linda's confidence had completely exploded. Certain Navia wouldn't dare make a scene, she strutted around smugly before suddenly snapping her fingers in realization."Oh, I get it."She laughed mockingly."You can't bear to leave that little nameplate behind, can you? Makes sense. Once you're out of Harrison Group, you're basically nobody. Of course you'd cling desperately to your old title."Linda waved toward the nearby guards."Go get the nameplate I threw away. Since she's so attached to it, package it nicely and let her take it home."One of the guards awkwardly retrieved the engraved desk plate from the trash and handed it toward Navia."Miss Harrison..."Navia grabbed it from his hands.Before Linda could even finish smiling smu

    The team leaders all knew exactly who Linda Vale was now.Not only was she Daniel Harrison's daughter, she was also Liam Crawford's fiancée. With that status alone, nobody at Harrison Group dared offend her.The group crowded around her desk immediately, smiling so hard their faces looked stiff."Director Vale!""Good morning, Director Vale..."Linda leaned back comfortably in the executive chair, admiring her freshly painted crimson nails before covering her smile delicately."Oh, stop being so formal," she said sweetly. "You can just call me Linda. We're all family here, aren't we?""Right, exactly!""Linda's absolutely right!"Everyone hurried to agree.Linda casually flipped through the documents spread across the desk. Navia's name was still printed across several of them.She smirked faintly."Navia must've caused you all plenty of trouble before this, huh?"The room immediately fell awkwardly silent.
