The conference room door swung open, and Sadie entered with Bryson trailing closely behind, both smiling brightly. As they approached the central table, fifteen of the seventeen directors in attendance promptly rose to their feet, offering respectful bows.“Good morning, ma’am.” The directors greeted, their faces lit up with welcoming smiles. Sadie halted, darting her gaze between those at her right and the left, beaming, excited, “good morning, amazing directors,” she responded. “The pillars of this Heritage Holdings,” She smiled warmly and curtsied slightly. “I extend my sincerest appreciation for your consistent support. Your commitment has been instrumental in achieving this milestone, and I’m delighted to be here today to express my gratitude,”“Please know that I value your contributions immensely and pledge that my son will uphold the trust you’ve placed in him. We’re eternally grateful and look forward to opportunities to return your favor,”The directors were the ones who h

Gage’s voice was firm with an edge of warning. “I’m back to stake my claim, to secure what's mine, and to correct the mistake of attempting to give it to someone else.”Chairman Paul let out a deep sigh. “If you’re here for the meeting, take a seat so we can proceed.”Gage looked back, and Richard promptly pushed his wheelchair around to the opposite side of the table, positioning him next to Rachel.Rachel turned to the director beside her. “Could you please move your seat?" She requested, and knowing the question that would come next, she immediately added. “Gage’s shares have surpassed ten percent, so he's entitled to sit at the chairman's right side.”The room fell silent as everyone's eyes widened in shock, including the chairman. “When did this happen?” The chairman asked, his curiosity getting the better of him. “How is that possible?”Rachel let out a sigh and explained, “since Mason and I contributed some of our shares to him,” she spoke with confidence, her chin slightly rai

Bryson walked into the parlor, and his mother jumped up, rushing over to him. His expression was somber, and his mother’s concern was palpable. She positioned herself in front of him, placing her hands on his shoulders and locking eyes with him.“How did it go?” she asked, her voice laced with worry. “What did your father say? He disagreed, did he?”“He did,” he answered in simplicity. “Kaylie will be taking over, so I can’t have the share anymore.”Sadie’s eyes widened in shock, still struggling to wrap her head around the announcement, despite not being entirely new to her. As a fellow director, she had strongly considered opposing Kaylie's involvement, but Chairman Paul had sent her home before the second emergency meeting even started, leaving her without a chance to voice her dissent.Sadie's hands flew to her chest as she stumbled backward, but Vera was quick to react, rushing to her side and catching her before she fell. “Calm down, Ma,” Vera soothed, holding her tightly as she

Chairman Paul entered the dining room, and Kaylie and Bryson stood to greet him. Without a word, he adjusted his chair to his liking before taking a seat. His eyes were noticeably red.“Are you okay, sir?” Kaylie asked, her voice laced with concern. She couldn’t help but notice his reddened eyes. “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”Chairman Paul’s gaze dropped, and he shook his head slightly. “I’m fine,” he replied curtly. “Are you serving the meal or the maid? Please, let’s hurry. I have a meeting.”Though Kaylie wasn’t convinced, she didn’t press the issue, aware that Gage’s presence meant she should maintain a level of detachment. She nodded and began serving the meal, trying to gauge the chairman’s condition without drawing further attention to it.“Okay, sir,” she said, rising from her seat since the maids were still out on errands. Despite no longer seeking the chairman’s approval, a lingering habit prompted her to attend to him first. As she approached the chairman’s place,

Kaylie held up the file, her eyes scanning the staff as she asked, “Does anyone know what this is?”The staff remained silent, deliberately turning their faces away to show disinterest.A smile crept onto Sadie and Vera’s lips as they exchanged a knowing glance, their plan already bearing fruit.Sadie’s gaze dropped slightly, and she softly bit her upper lip, a hint of satisfaction crossing her face. Then her head snapped up, her expression transforming into a cold, stoic mask. “Your lives, your jobs, your fate in this household—it all lies in this file I hold. Anyone care to look?”Vera turned to Sadie, her brow furrowed in question. “What's she talking about?” She asked, but before Sadie could respond, Kaylie continued, her words hanging in the air like a challenge.“What most of you don't know is that my co-wife,” Kaylie said, glancing over her shoulder at Sadie, “isn't the one who signs your paychecks. It’s Gage.”The staff’s eyes widened in surprise, their mouths agape. “Ehn!” The
