“Well, you better get into the game and watch for Claire. We both know she’s better than you, but she’s still just a woman. The old man surely will not give the CEO position to a woman, so you better perk up and see what you can do.” Quinton exclaimed back as he slapped the desk, startling Henry back up. “Dad, I don’t understand. How can we allow her to lead a team to Elon Trust’s investment? She already tarnishes the family by marrying that trash delivery guy.” Henry asked, still holding onto his aching head. “Well, weren’t you the one who insisted that she and her department take up the challenge?” “It wanted to humiliate her. How can anyone get to see Mr. Wheaton, much less invest with Elon Trust? Now, she will make the company look bad and make the family a laughing stock.” “Well, it’s too late now. Everyone knows we are seeking an investment with Elon Trust, and she’s now our only hope.” Quinton said as he turned towards the door, leaving Henry to ponder his mistake. Quinton

“What do you know? You’re just a kid. When will you grow up? This marriage is a farce. There is no love whatsoever, and there will never be.” Claire had flared up and explained. Listening to her sister’s explanation, it sounded like she never gave him a chance and was too stubborn to see his good qualities. Tabitha felt sorry for Blake for enduring the hardship her mother and sister had put him through. “Well, if you don’t want him, I guess I will have to take him. I see a lot of potential in Blake, and I believe he will prove both of you wrong and do great things in the future.” Both mother and sister looked at each other and laughed, not only for what she had said but also for being a naive child. “Oh, Tabby, what nonsense. I don’t believe that man can ever amount to anything other than being a deliveryman and work the rest of his life doing just that, once trash always trash,” Claire stated. “I agree. He will always be trash.” Stated her mother to Tabitha. Just then, the door

Blake drove for two hours and arrived at his destination; it was still early in the night when he arrived at a large manor. He slowly pulled to the gate and waited for the guard to come out of the small guard shack. The guard came to him and asked for his purpose. “Please inform the headmaster that Blake Elon has arrived and wishes an audience.” “Please wait right here. I shall inform them now.” The guard rushed into the building and made a direct line call to the main building. “The young master has arrived; he wishes to see the headmaster.” Waiting for confirmation, the guard finally walked back to Blake and waved him through the large iron gate that squeaked as it opened up for him. Blake continues to drive to the main entrance. Lightly tapping Tabitha, she awakens from her sleep. “We’re here. Let’s head out.” “Hugh, oh, yeah, okay.” Tabitha unknowingly looks out the car window and is greeted by an older person standing next to it, opening the car door for her. Gliding out

Jenkins prepared everything that Robert wanted him to do. The family all received the information to return to the prominent family’s home. If anyone lagged in their appearance, they would be removed from the family. The succession of the head of the family will be announced at the banquet tomorrow night.When Jake received the text, he furrowed his brow and informed his assistant to prepare the private jet for departure and that he was going home.‘Well, the old man has finally decided to hand over the family to me. It’s about time. Even though he was disappointed when that crappy ring didn’t fit, he’s been pressing for me to work harder.’ Jake thought to himself as he sat in the limo headed towards the airport.“Fred, when should I arrive back home?”“Sir, if all is well by the time we arrive at the airport, we should be arriving approximately three am, four at the latest. Sir, why the sudden change in plans?”“The family is hosting a banquet tomorrow night, during which the new hea

“Seeing that he will be up soon, I will meet him there. You know what I like; send it over while I wait for his arrival.” Not giving a single courtesy to the butler. Jake walked towards the back of the home, where a small table with a few chairs was arranged, a silver platter with a kettle and cups were placed upon it, and a flower arrangement in the center. Jake sat down facing the home in anticipation of his meal’s arrival, and if he had looked upon the backyard, he would have seen Blake jogging back into the house. Blake went back to the second floor and knocked on Tabitha’s door. Receiving a greeting to come in, he opened the door and walked in to see her brushing her hair at the vanity. “Brother, what happened to you? You’re all sweaty. You didn’t get into a fight, did you?” “Do I look like a guy who would go out looking for a fight? Please don’t answer that, hehe. No, I went out for a jog. It was a beautiful morning I couldn’t resist. Let me shower and change, and then we wil
