The Failed Heir Chapter 9
When the news of the Lawson Group’s impending collapse exploded across the internet, Gemma was in the middle of throwing a champagne party at a high-end nightclub in the city.To celebrate her brand-new Lamborghini, she booked the entire VIP booth, surrounding herself with a crowd of fair-weather friends."Drink up! Tonight is on me!""Hey, waiter! Bring us ten more bottles of Armand de Brignac!""I've got endless money! The Lawson Group is basically a money printer, anyway!"The crowd around her cheered, though their eyes held a bizarre, mocking undertone."Gemma, your parents seem to be... trending on social media," a fellow wealthy socialite who usually couldn't stand her chimed in, swirling her glass with a subtle smirk."Trending? That's a good thing!"Gemma’s eyes were hazy with alcohol, her speech heavily slurred."It's probably just my dad acquiring another company, or my mom donating at another charity gala."Suddenly, the nightclub's blaring music cut off.Blinding

Hurried footsteps and urgent knocking echoed from outside the meeting room.The door was pushed wide open.Four police officers walked in with grim expressions, holding handcuffs and arrest warrants."Megan Field? James Lawson?"The lead officer scanned the room.Mom shrank back in her chair, terrified and trembling from head to toe. Dad, on the other hand, forced himself to hold on to his last bit of composure, attempting to project his grand corporate authority."I am James Lawson. Officer, is there some sort of misunderstanding here? I'm good friends with Chief Lewis from your precinct. We even had dinner together just last week...""Mr. Lawson, cut the small talk," the officer interrupted coldly, holding up the arrest warrants right in front of him."We received a verified report made under real names. The evidence is indisputable. Please come with us to assist in the investigation."As soon as he finished speaking, two officers stepped forward and moved toward the couple.

Mom stared fixedly at Dana, her fingers gripping her handbag."Where is security?! How could you let someone like this into the company?!"Dad turned to look at me with clear displeasure."Ansel, how can you allow a woman with such a ruined reputation in here just to disgust your own parents?"Get her the hell out of here right now!"I completely ignored him and simply turned to give Dana a slight nod.Without a word, Dana walked straight past them toward the meeting room's media console and plugged a black USB drive directly into the port.The massive display screen lit up. A noisy, bustling audio recording began playing loudly throughout the room."Is that male model reliable? This matter has to be done discreetly.""Here's a hundred-thousand-dollar deposit. You'll get the remaining half once it's done.""Remember, make the dosage heavy. I want her to make a complete fool of herself in public at the engagement party.""That's the only way to crush my stupid son's foolish a

Four bodyguards dressed in black cleared the way ahead, accompanied by two senior lawyers in sharp business suits.Dad was suited up, leaning on his walking cane, while Mom walked by his side dressed in lavish elegance.The young receptionist up front was terrified by the overwhelming entourage, wanting to stop them but not daring to."Let them pass. Bring them to Meeting Room 1," I instructed through the intercom phone.By the time I finished handling my work and made my way to the meeting room, Dad was already sitting in the head seat, flipping through my company's brochure."The decor looks decent enough," Dad remarked nonchalantly, his tone unreadable."Too bad it's just an empty shell. Without the Lawson Group's resources to feed it, a little startup like this won't last three months in Chesterford."Mom looked at me with deep disappointment."Ansel, haven't you thrown enough of a tantrum? Running away from home, starting your own company, and even poaching key employees f

"What?!" Dad shot up from his seat. "Why?! Didn't we already settle everything?!""The bank said... they said it's because Mr. Ansel resigned. When assessing our risk profile, a huge chunk of their valuation was based on the profitability of those core projects managed directly by Mr. Ansel."Dad’s vision went dark, and he nearly collapsed on the spot.Before he could catch his breath, another phone started ringing."Mr. Lawson! We have a crisis! Mr. Hill, Mr. Roberts, and Mr. Clark, our biggest business partners, all sent letters first thing this morning demanding to terminate their contracts!""Are they insane? Do they not care about the early termination penalties?""They said... they only partnered with the Lawson Group because of Mr. Ansel. Now that Mr. Ansel has moved to Vortex Tech, they’d rather pay the breach-of-contract penalties just to sign with Vortex instead!"And... and...""And what?! Speak up!""The clients from the projects Miss Gemma took over earlier were

"Are... are you sure you want to do this right now?"Mike sounded hesitant over the phone."Once we launch this, the Lawson Group's cash flow could run into major trouble almost immediately. Plus... Mr. Lawson will definitely blow his top.""Blow his top?"I thought back to the stinging slap across my face, and the self-righteous looks on their faces."I'm counting on him losing his mind."Inform the legal department to draft reimbursement demand letters for every single expense I personally advanced to the Lawson Group over the last few years. Have them delivered straight to my father's desk first thing tomorrow morning."Also, terminate all licensing agreements for the core technology patents held under my personal name, and pull my core team out."Since they insist I only got to where I am because of the Lawson name, then let's see."Is it really me who can't survive without the Lawsons, or is it the Lawsons who can't survive without me?"I hung up the phone and hailed a c
