From Trash to Titan Chapter 299
Back in Maxwell's apartment, the television was still going, throwing its restless light across the dark living room.Maxwell was not watching it because he cared in the slightest what these people had to say about Sterling Industries. He was watching it in the faint hope that one of them would slip and let the source's name fall out on air.He doubted any of them would. But even if the broadcast gave up nothing at all, Maxwell was not especially worried, because after listening to the audio on that clip over and over again, he had begun to suspect that he already knew the voice attached to it.Earlier that very day he had crossed paths with the two Lee brothers, Damon and Dexter. Damon had been the calmer of the pair, the diplomat of the family, and whether or not that calm was an act, he had not struck Maxwell as the kind of man who would film a stranger in a plaza and hand the footage off to a national network. Dexter was another matter entirely.The more Maxwell turned it over in

"Then you may tell Mr. Anders that we will return his call tomorrow," Debra said without bothering to look up.e"Madam, he was really very-""Tomorrow, Patrice." Debra's voice hardened to a fine point. "Now kindly shut that door and leave us to our evening."The housekeeper bowed her head and pulled the door closed behind her.Ramon raised an eyebrow across the candles. "Anders? Three times in one night? That is not at all like him.""Ramon, that man telephones three separate times when he stubs his toe getting out of bed in the morning," Debra said, and the table chuckled at her. "Whatever this is, it has survived just fine until now, and it will survive perfectly well until breakfast."Ramon laughed and let the whole matter drop, the way he let most matters drop once Debra had decided them.Armand did not laugh. His eyes drifted toward the sideboard, toward that napkin that would not stop pulsing with light underneath it, and for half a second he genuinely considered pushing back hi
From Trash to Titan Chapter 297
Years ago, back when Ramon Lexus was still a nobody clawing his way toward becoming somebody, he had told a single foolish lie to a single journalist. He had claimed he was born on a national holiday, simply because he thought it made him sound like a man marked out by destiny. And how that one little lie had grown. It had crawled onto his Wikipedia page, wormed its way into every interview he gave for the next two decades, and hardened into public record so completely that there was no undoing it now. And was there anything in this world quite so absurd as a self-made man held prisoner by a lie he had told once just to sound important?So now, every single year, Ramon was forced to throw a grinning fake birthday in front of the cameras on a day that was not his birthday at all, and then celebrate the real one in secret behind locked doors with only the handful of people who knew the truth. There was a certain poetry to it, really, that a family so comfortable rewriting the truth when

Across the city, a single twenty-three-second video was burning through the internet faster than anyone could keep up with, and the name riding on top of it, Maxwell Sterling, had already forced its way into every wealthy household, every gossip account, and every business desk that mattered in the entire region. People who had never heard that name an hour ago were now refreshing their feeds over and over like men possessed, and across a hundred expensive studies grown adults were rereading the same impossible headline three times in a row just to convince themselves their eyes were not lying to them. One man had set the whole city alight in a single evening, and the fire was only spreading.And yet, on the far side of that same blazing city, behind the tall gates of a mansion lit up with old music and candlelight, there sat one family that had no idea any of it was happening. How cruel fate could be when it wanted to be. Of every household that should have been glued to its scree

Damon turned his head and looked at his sister. Adele’s face was completely still, her eyes reflecting the dim light of the sitting room with a cold, clear focus. She wasn't throwing a tantrum like Dexter; she was looking at the situation like a math problem that needed solving.”"You heard me, Damon," Adele said, her voice quiet, and the quiet was the worst part of it. "Hit him again. Maybe the second one teaches him what the first one couldn't.”Before Damon could move, Ivy stepped forward, putting herself between the two brothers. The worry she had felt a moment ago when she saw the blood on Dexter’s face was entirely gone. She looked at her youngest son. "What were you thinking, Dexter?" Ivy asked, her voice shaking just enough to show the worry and anger underneath. "You just started another problem between the Sterling family and the Lee family. Do you have any idea what our position is right now? We cannot afford that. The Lee Group cannot survive another war with Sterling Ind

Their older sister, Adele, walked into the sitting room. She was still in her work clothes, her tablet in her hand from whatever she had been doing in the upstairs study. She stopped when she saw the blood on Dexter's face. Her eyes widened in shock. "What on earth happened to him,” she said. Although immediately she was thinking, none of this was surprising, Dexter was always going to have someone beat him up because he made it his personality to be the worst kind of person, and that usually annoyed a lot of people including her. "Your brother." Ivy pointed at Damon without turning her head. "Your brother walked into this house and attacked Dexter. For no reason at all. He just walked in and started hitting him. Look at his face, Adele. Look at what Damon has done."Adele turned slowly to look at Damon. Her face went from confused to cold in the space of a single second."Damon. Have you lost your mind?"Damon closed his eyes and breathed out, “Sister…” "I asked you a question. Wh
