Chapter 6

Hedgebud
After returning home, Robert flew into a rage.

When I saw him and Kenneth again, two days had already passed.

I sat high above in a spotless, sunlit office. Kenneth, on the other hand, fixed me with a grim expression.

As soon as they stepped in, Robert shoved him forward. "Didn't you say you had something to tell him? Spit it out then!"

"I'm sorry, Greg. I lost my head for a moment." Kenneth faced me grudgingly as he spoke. "I-I'm asking you to come back."

I let out a snort. "You want me

  • When the True Heir Returns, the Impostor Runs Wild   Chapter 8

    Donald never expected that a nobody from the countryside like me would turn the tables and become the most prominent figure in the Lawson family.He hadn't seen it coming. With no better option, he brought Kenneth back from the countryside, hoping to replace me.Unfortunately for Donald, Kenneth was completely incapable of rising to the occasion. So, they resorted to forcing me out instead. He demanded all my shares, and I handed over the company. But in the end, he couldn't hold onto it. Now, the whole scheme was exposed, and the evidence was damning. With that, the Lawsons went straight to the police, and Donald was arrested. Nancy made it clear she would never forgive him.Kenneth, on the other hand, was terrified. He dropped to his knees, begging Nancy for forgiveness. But Robert and Nancy were already heartbroken. Kenneth knew Donald had ulterior motives, yet he still chose to work with him and tried to take over the family's assets. In a fit of anger, Robert and Na

    I shrugged and motioned for Kenneth to leave. He flew into a rage, and Robert dragged him out of my office. Even from a distance, I could still hear him cursing until a slap cut him off. I believed that eventually Kenneth would understand what I meant. …Three days later, Robert came back with a share transfer agreement, asking me to return. By then, the Lawson family's assets were all but exhausted, and the people lurking in the shadows were starting to show themselves. Donald Lawson, Robert's younger brother, stormed over the moment he saw me. "What are you doing here? Gregory, this company has nothing to do with you anymore!""Greg's here to acquire it. Our company's finished!" Robert snapped as he shoved Donald aside. Donald was stunned. "Acquire it? He's got nothing! He was kicked out of the family! How could he possibly buy us out?""I might not, but the Shaws do," I said with a sneer. Almost immediately, Kenneth clenched his fists and yelled, "That engagement wa

    After returning home, Robert flew into a rage. When I saw him and Kenneth again, two days had already passed. I sat high above in a spotless, sunlit office. Kenneth, on the other hand, fixed me with a grim expression. As soon as they stepped in, Robert shoved him forward. "Didn't you say you had something to tell him? Spit it out then!""I'm sorry, Greg. I lost my head for a moment." Kenneth faced me grudgingly as he spoke. "I-I'm asking you to come back."I let out a snort. "You want me to go back? Well, let me do the math for you. Hiring a CEO at my level would cost you millions of dollars a year, and that's not even including equity."So, tell me. How far are you willing to go? How much of the company are you giving me?"I lifted my head and saw that Kenneth's fists were clenched. It seemed like he remembered what I had said when I left—that the Lawsons' success rested on me, not the family name. Now that I was naming my price, he balked. Yet, he had no choice. "I'll giv

    I let out a self-deprecating laugh, then continued, "I figured I was still worth something, but what you never realized is that I've had a rebellious streak since I was a kid. "I don't hand control over to anyone. And neither you nor Kenneth were ever my only option."That finally pushed Victoria over the edge. She hadn't expected me to shut her down so bluntly. I stood up to leave, but Victoria caught my arm from behind. "Can't you give me a chance?""A chance? What kind?" I retorted. "A chance to be with Kenneth, or to use me?"With that, I shook her off and walked away. What was she even playing at?…I wanted nothing to do with Victoria, but she kept showing up. Over the next few days, I kept receiving bouquets and little gifts. After work, she'd be waiting outside, and when I got in the next morning, she'd still be sitting across from me. Eventually, I took a deep breath and asked, "Victoria, what exactly are you trying to do?""Isn't it obvious? I'm trying to win

    Bad news kept rippling through the reception room. It wasn't just the Lawsons, either. Even the clients who had come for the event were getting messages one after another. Every partner, bank, and major client the Lawsons had ever signed a contract with sent the same message. They would only work with me. I was the only one they acknowledged. So, wherever I went, they would follow. In an instant, Robert's face turned ashen. He turned toward the direction I'd left, stumbling slightly. "Go after him now! Bring him back!"At that, Kenneth frowned. "Why do we have to let him call the shots? Whatever Gregory can do, I can do too. Why not let me try?""You? Try?" Robert closed his eyes. "Forget it."Everyone rushed off to handle the fallout, and just like that, the welcome home dinner ended abruptly. …I sat in a bar, swirling the wine in my glass as a faint smile tugged at my lips. By now, the Lawsons were probably scrambling to put out fires. When my buddy Edward Hayes came

    As soon as Morgan heard I had left the Lawsons, he followed without hesitation. Everyone else on my team said they would stand by me, too. "Mr. Lawson, wherever you go, we go."What Kenneth didn't know was that the Lawson family hadn't held its ground all these years because of some old-money legacy they loved to brag about—it was because of me.Even so, I was determined to attend his welcome home dinner. …The Lawsons had gone all out, hosting the dinner at Ravine Manor. All the big names were there, and so was I. The moment I arrived, I spotted a few wealthy heirs I used to hang around with. Smirks played on their lips as soon as they saw me. "Gregory? You've got some nerve coming here. You got kicked out, and you're still putting on airs. Aren't you embarrassed?"Another added, "Exactly! Just look at the scale of this event. It's obvious who the real son is. You spent all these years building things for someone else, but now, you've got nothing.""Why don't you beg me?
