Maurice had lost all his patience. He wanted to push Darcy to the brink and finish off Quintessential Group once and for all. “Come on. We should check out the woman. She’s one gorgeous doll in Lilyrose. I’m sure she’ll be even more captivating in a state of despair.” Maurice strutted confidently out of the local bank with his men in tow. The conversation went on at Quintessential Group’s office building. “Riley, how much debt are we sitting at for each bank?” Sinking her back against her chair behind the desk, Darcy kneaded her aching temples and asked her assistant. Public opinion had shifted as evident in the online comments, and Joy had paid a heavy price for her betrayal. However, Darcy was not happy at all. The issue was money. She needed money now more than ever. With a significant number of employees resigning, panic spread within the organization. The Quints were eager to jump ship, not caring what would happen to the family business, while work at the

“I am Bernard Vikrom, head of the Vikrom family.” “I’m Peter, head of the Logmans.” “I am Jasmine Sundar, chairwoman of Sixth Eye Jewelry Group.” “The Heavensward Group’s GM, Bruno Bandino.” The individuals identified themselves. The 400-million-dollar debt that once crushed Darcy was cleared. Jaws dropped. Even the incessant flashes from the press cameras stopped for a second. Darcy looked in disbelief at these people who are leaders of powerful families.There was also a homegrown chairman of a prominent local enterprise. Not to mention, the area general manager of a well-known multinational company was present too. These individuals were the heavy hitters of Lilyrose City. They came together to help Quintessential Group overcome its financial difficulty, though the Group did not possess such business connections.From the outset, Darcy suspected she was being deceived. She even suspected that Maurice had hired these people to amuse her. They might just deny

“That’s none of your business, Mr. Lewis. The money is ours, and we can do whatever we want with it as we please. We don’t have to deposit any money in your banks anymore.” Peter and the others demanded cash withdrawals. With the managing directors put in the spot, they turned to Maurice, who was the cause of everything. Maurice shouted at everyone, “It’s a ploy! Are you trying to cross the banks? Well, don’t even think about any loans or financing in the future.” A good relationship with banks was a must for corporations. The group sneered. “Don’t flatter yourself, Maurice. While we can’t afford to turn our backs on banks, we are within our rights to upset you since you only work for the banks.” “That’s right. You seem hot and bothered, Mr. Taon. I hope you’re not going to be a cheat.” The public mocked Maurice with the same insult he used on Darcy. Maurice narrowed his eyes at the people. “Fine, have it your way. You’ll get what’s coming for distressing one of the

It was surprising that a proud woman like Miru had someone she respected. Even Kaze was shocked. Miru glanced at him in disdain. “Have some dignity, Kaze. I’m talking about the chairman of Perfect World Group, not you. It’s not as if you called these people to invest in Quintessential Group.” “I am—” Kaze was about to refute when Darcy jumped in, “You got the wrong idea about Kaze, Miru. Kaze knows Snow from Perfect World Group. He made the call to invite those people.” Darcy was aware that Snow played a part in Kaze hitting the lottery and buying furniture. Miru looked at Kaze in surprise and scoffed. “It just so happened that Perfect World Group’s chairman wanted to take on the top families, so he put the word out to the major businesses. I doubt Kaze could convince them to be here if it weren’t for the chairman.” She called on Kaze’s bluff at Lily Garden Hotel the last time. Miru had already made up her mind about Kaze. There was no way she would change her opinion

The heads of the top families laughed for a while, sensing a bright future awaiting them. Just then, Edward beckoned at his youngest son, Ethan. “You will assume the role of Chairman at Bersina Group, Ethan. We have lost Maurice and Toffle, those losers. It’s time Bersina takes back the Everia family.” Ethan was delighted. His older brother, Eliot, had always outshone him. With Eliot in a coma, the family leadership should now fall on Ethan.Edward made Ethan the chairman of Bersina Group to see if he was up to the task. “Don’t worry, Dad. I will manage Bersina well.” Ethan left Jade Estate with his sidekick in tow. He returned with a heavy heart in less than an hour. “Holy shit, Dad. Someone beat me to it and took Bersina Group right out of my hands.” Ethan made a crying face, looking nothing like the swank he had before leaving the house. Edward was enraged. “Who did it? Everybody knows Maurice and Toffle only managed Bersina for the Everias.” Belarus and Fli
