Chapter 7

作者: Flute Song
Watching Chad sob and beg at my feet stirred no pity in me—only pent-up rage and deep disappointment.

"You ungrateful traitor, figuring it out now? What were you thinking before? If it weren't for your mom helping my dad back when, I'd never have glanced your way." My fury built as I laid it out. "I've got a rule: no family in business. But for her old favor, I bent it, giving you an opportunity most people only dream about. Seaview's prestige, top-notch systems, full backing... You didn't invest a dime or sweat a detail, just waltzed into a cushy boss role. Run it right, and you'd be set for life. But I backed a wolf in sheep's clothing. For a shallow gold-digger, you turned on me. Didn't your conscience sting?"

Every word slapped him with shame. He wilted, unable to argue.

He didn't even have the strength left to cry—only choked gasps. Beryl, seeing his pleas flop, grasped that she'd slammed into an unbreakable wall.

    My bombshell about owning the Seaview Group struck like a thunderbolt, leaving both Chad and Beryl dazed."No, that's impossible. You're lying!" Beryl collapsed, shrieking. "How could you run Seaview? The CEO is Allison Dupont. It's in every news article and magazine. You can't con me; I'm not that gullible."Chad held onto a sliver of doubt, murmuring, "Adriano, that's not a joke you make."I cut through their denial, my voice steady and absolute. "Allison is my wife; she handles the public side because I like staying low-key. But I make the final strategic decisions as the majority shareholder. Need proof? I can call her now to confirm."I held up my phone to make a call. Chad went rigid, his mind racing, until things fell into place.Without me, those tough franchise hurdles would've been insurmountable. HQ's unwavering support was under my influence.He'd assumed I just had high-up connections pulling strings. He never imagined Seaview was entirely mine. At that point, he fin

    The color instantly drained from Beryl's face.Those absurd charges were pure fiction she'd invented to extort me. There was no evidence to support them at all.Her bravado evaporated, and she started shaking like a leaf.Grasping at straws, she latched onto Chad, who was still reeling from the shock. "It... It was Chad. He approved flexible pricing for certain special clients."Chad staggered, jolting back to reality. Robert's piercing gaze and the team's cold scrutiny caused sweat to bead on his forehead. His throat dry, he couldn't utter a word.He'd never approved of any such thing. This was blatant blame-shifting.His pleading eyes locked on mine, his voice quivering. "Adriano, I messed up. For our kinship, can you let it go?"Even now, he tried to guilt-trip me with family bonds. But my heart had turned to ice long ago. The moment he chose Beryl's side and let her trash me, our fragile connection snapped.Not batting an eyelid, I shut him down. "No."My tone was sharp an

    The van doors slid open, and a dozen sharp-dressed men and women in dark suits hopped out, moving with purpose toward the showroom entrance.Each one had a polished badge on their lapel—the Seaview Group emblem. Leading the pack was a tough-looking middle-aged guy with sharp eyes and an aura of unquestionable authority.That was Robert Kane, the Audit Department Director. The staff members in the shop tensed up at his arrival, snapping to attention.The air grew thick with unspoken tension and unease. Robert scanned the room and zeroed in on me.He cut through the crowd and stopped in front of me with a respectful nod. "Sir, Robert Kane, Director of Audit for Seaview Group, reporting with my team."The customers gasped, shocked by his deference toward me.Chad froze, dread hitting him like a wave. Beryl was stunned, her brain catching up slowly, before she pointed at Robert and screeched, "Who are you people? Think you can waltz in like that?"Robert ignored her flailing and tur

    Beryl's piercing screech at the shop entrance pulled a crowd from the lobby.The customers craned their necks to watch the scene. Their stares, full of judgment, landed on me like I was some lowlife trying to skip out on the check."Dine and dash at Seaview? That's insane.""Dressed all sharp but pulling this crap?""Can't afford Seaview? Stay home. Don't embarrass yourself here."My blood boiled at the public condemnation. Nearby, Chad looked ashen, sweat trickling down his face. "Beryl, maybe we should just drop it."He tugged at her sleeve, hoping to defuse the tension, but her eyes bulged with rage. "Grow a spine! The money is right there. Why push it away? Milk him now or what? Save it for the holidays?"Flinching, Chad swallowed his further persuasions and quietly shrank back. His cowardice only fueled my rage and cemented my disappointment.Keeping a straight face, I pulled out my phone and dialed my assistant. "Grab $500,000 cash from the car and bring it to the front."

    $280,000 was just chump change for me. I spent more than that on a single day's whims.What got under my skin wasn't the cash; it was Chad's ingratitude."I'll pay," I said.Beryl's face lit up with a victorious smirk, and Chad let out a visible sigh of relief."But," I added, my voice sharpening, "you need to break this down for me—every charge, every detail, crystal clear."Beryl quickly pulled out the prepped invoice and recited it with a cocky vibe. "Alright. Let's start with the premium diagnostic scan. We're talking imported analyzers, run by experts with international certifications. It took a full three hours, charged at global rates. Then, your exhaust pipe was messing with the sound profile, so we upgraded it with an opera-inspired resonance chamber. Now it roars like Pavarotti, rich and commanding. Totally elevates the value."I couldn't believe my ears. My three business partners who'd tagged along stifled smirks, and even Chad bowed his head in embarrassment.Beryl
