"Someone's messed with the cameras. They've got to be an expert to wreck the surveillance so fast and without a trace. They came ready. Sean, we need those cameras up and running ASAP!" Charles's eyebrows were knotted tight, a sign he was really worried."Of course, but you should watch your back too. My brother mentioned that things are shaky in Cascade City and Capiton. The stock market might take a big hit soon."Charles's eyes gave a quick flash. "Hmm.""You haven't actually made enemies, have you?"Charles looked up sharply, his icy gaze landing on Sean. "If I've made enemies, you're probably in the mix too!"Sean lifted an eyebrow, trying to seem tough. "Don't try to spook me. I'm not scared that easily."Charles did not say more, but Sean could tell things were probably more twisted than they thought. "Fine, I'll get someone on camera.""Make it fast. You've got two days." Charles fiddled with his cufflinks, then stopped as if a thought had struck him and stared at Sean.

"That can't be true!" Jade cut off Eli. "She's a Smith, not a Shaw. She doesn't deserve anything from the old man's estate. Get her out of here now!""Wait a moment!"A steady voice broke through the tension. A man with a briefcase and old-fashioned glasses walked in from the entrance. "Hello, everyone. I'm Sir Shaw’s attorney. He asked me to prepare his will, and we're to follow his instructions for the estate after his passing!""My name is Kent Cook.""Mr. Cook, please, take a seat!" Julian quickly moved Jade aside and gestured for Kent to sit. "Mr. Cook, when can we go over my father's will?""Has everyone arrived? Once we're all here, we can get started," Mr. Cook said, scanning the room. "The will mentions five people: Julian and Jade Shaw, their daughter Winter, the old man's chosen granddaughter Noelle, and his godson Joshua.""That can't be right. Noelle and Joshua aren't part of our Shaw family. Why would they be in the will? And with Joshua missing, we can't go on with

"What did you just say?" Jade and Julian shot up from their seats, staring at Kent with wide eyes. "Could there be a mistake?""There’s no mistake," Kent assured them. "Sir Shaw made this will a year ago. He decided every part of this asset split himself, and he was in his right mind when he did it!""This can't be right!" Jade was adamant. "How could the old man give all the shares to people who aren't even Shaws? We're his real family, his own flesh and blood."Jade was in shock. She could not fathom that Samuel would make such a will. Even if Samuel was very fond of Noelle, it just did not make sense for him to give her everything."It's definitely you. You did something, didn't you?" Jade pointed all her fingers at Noelle. "You must've whispered something to Grandpa, and that's why he made this crazy will that doesn't make any sense." She and Julian were left with just a big house, and Winter only got $750,000."Mrs. Shaw, please stop talking nonsense and attacking my work," K

"Mrs. Shaw, do you really think I'm scared?" Noelle said indifferently, looking at Jade and Julian."Mr. Shaw, Mrs. Shaw might be confused right now, but you wouldn't be, right?"Julian frowned at Noelle, but Jade pulled his hand hard. "Jule, are you still going to be wishy-washy? Noelle is here to make us pay. She won't be happy until she's destroyed our family!"Julian scowled. "Noelle, just give us the shares. Your mom and I will remember we were family once and let you go. If you won't...""What if I won't?" Noelle's eyes turned icy as she stared back at Julian and Jade. "Grandpa gave this to me, and I'm not giving it to you!""Then don't blame us for not being nice."Jade gave a look to the thugs, and they started to rush over.However, they had barely taken a few steps when another group of skilled people at the door stopped them in their tracks.The mess was quickly sorted out, and Andrew gave a cool look to the guy on the ground before coming over. "Ma'am, are you okay?

"But this was Grandpa's life's work." Noelle knew it was like throwing money into a pit. The shares looked nice, but they were actually in red. If Charles stepped in now, he would be taking a loss.Julian and the others did not see it that way. They still thought the shares could be worth a fortune!Grant gave a small smile. "Noelle, you're just too nice!"However, Noelle just gave a wry smile in return. "It's not about being nice. It's about doing the right thing. Grandpa has always been there for me, and I can't just sit back and do nothing when City Ring Corp. is in trouble!"Grant's brow creased with worry. "Do you realize how shaky the stock market in Zyphonia has been lately? It's not just Capiton and Cascade City that are affected. Brookville is buzzing too. It could cause a huge stir, you know?"Noelle looked at Grant, surprised, and then her forehead wrinkled in concern. "Why are you telling me all this?""The things happening lately aren't just random. You need to be ca
