Chapter 1

Blood trickled down Howard's cheek and dripped onto his expensive bespoke suit.Everyone stared at us in shock. The reporters were the first to react, and camera flashes went off one after another.Samantha finally snapped out of it and shoved me violently aside, shielding Howard behind her."Glenn Hatfield, have you lost your mind? Do you have any idea what you just tore up?"I looked at her coldly and dropped the pen, its nib now stained with blood, onto the floor. It made a sharp clattering sound."Of course, I know." I swept my gaze around the room, my eyes finally settling on the faces of the board members and shareholders, who were caught between shock and suspicion.They were the foundation of Hatfield Group and also the force I needed to win over today."What I tore up was an indentured contract, one that tried to 'gift' everything my mother left me to Samantha."From the flurry of paper shreds, I picked up the largest fragment and held it high. The word "gift" was crys

Samantha delivered her speech about my mental instability and violent tendencies with impassioned, self-righteous conviction. In an instant, public opinion shifted once again.The scrutiny on the board members' faces reverted to hesitation and doubt. The way they looked at me now was filled with uncertainty. After all, an heir prone to emotional outbursts was indeed a grave risk to the entire conglomerate."Mental instability?" I couldn't help but chuckle.Samantha frowned when she saw that, instead of panicking, I actually let out a laugh.I walked straight up to her. Then, under her stunned gaze, I reached into the clutch she was carrying and pulled out the second document she had prepared.It was a "Property Custodianship Application" that had long since been drawn up by a law firm she had already engaged.In my previous life, after I discovered that all the shares had been transferred, I had tried to fight back.But it was precisely with this document that Samantha, together

"It turns out Mr. Hatfield is really sick. No wonder he's so crazy!""His attending physician of two years has spoken—there's no denying it now.""All that youth and good looks, and he's insane. Such a shame.""What's there to feel sorry about? Just because he's crazy, does that mean he shouldn't be held accountable for hurting people? If anything, Howard's the one who deserves our sympathy."My assistant, Norman Lowry, was growing agitated behind me.He patted me on the shoulder, his expression panicked. "Mr. Hatfield, we didn't seem to have prepared for this."No, we hadn't.This was the same ploy that took me down in my previous life.After discovering that Samantha and Howard had swindled away all my inheritance, I had indeed broken down emotionally. However, it was nowhere near the point of being diagnosed with a mental illness.Yet, it was precisely that breakdown that Samantha exploited to set up such an elaborate trap.When Dr. Griffin produced that forged, dozens-of-

Dr. Griffin's face turned deathly pale in an instant. He stumbled, barely able to keep his footing, and the microphone in his hand clattered loudly to the floor.Everyone was stunned by this earth-shattering reversal. After a moment of silence, the hall erupted into a buzz of hushed discussion.I didn't stop there. Instead, I turned toward the massive LED screen at the back of the stage and gave Norman a look.Snapping back to attention, Norman gave a firm nod and swiftly began tapping away at the tablet beside him.In the next second, an ultra-high-definition surveillance video started playing on the screen.The footage showed Dr. Griffin's office, its walls adorned with framed accolades. Samantha and Howard were unmistakably sitting there, and on the coffee table before them sat a large black briefcase.Samantha opened it, revealing row upon row of neatly stacked, brand-new 100-dollar bills.In the video, she slid the case across the table.Then, the video footage switched, a

Abigail had been standing at the very front row of the guest section the entire time, an elegant spectator seemingly removed from it all.At that moment, she walked straight up to me and tried to loop her arm through mine, only for me to sidestep and evade her touch.She stiffened for a moment, then turned around as if nothing had happened."Members of the media and distinguished board members." Abigail's voice was cool and commanding. She shielded me behind her and faced the crowd alone. "What has happened tonight is a family matter, as well as an internal affair of Hatfield Group."However, since things have escalated to this point, as Glenn's fiancee, there are a few things I must set straight."She glanced down at Samantha, crumpled on the floor, and Howard, utterly disheveled and disgraced, with icy disappointment and contempt."I am appalled and utterly revolted by what Ms. Hatfield and Mr. Daley have done. To stoop to such vile tactics to deceive their own brother—a young

Chapter 6

My birthday party ended in a farce that shocked the entire city.But everyone knew the real war was just beginning.The next day, an emergency board meeting was convened in the top-floor conference room of Hatfield Group.Along both sides of the long table, the atmosphere was so heavy it was almost suffocating.The few board members led by Samantha, though their images had been utterly destroyed overnight, had not surrendered without a fight. They were all company veterans, deeply entrenched, each holding the lifeblood of different departments in their hands.Samantha sat across from me. A sleepless night had left dark circles under her eyes and her expression haggard, but the hatred in her gaze had only grown more intense.She knew that criminally, there was little chance of turning the tide. Thus, she had chosen to make this conference room her final battlefield.An elderly board member named Dave Thayer, a longtime friend of Mom and Samantha's biggest supporter, rapped his kn

Faced with their fierce and self-righteous collective power play, I actually smiled.I picked up the cup of coffee in front of me and took a sip. Then, I set it back down slowly and deliberately before saying, "Dave, you're absolutely right. Stability is the most important thing."My voice was so calm that there wasn't a single ripple in it. Dave and the other board members exchanged glances, each catching a glimmer of smug satisfaction in the other's eyes. They thought I was scared and that I had caved."However." I shifted gears, and my gaze turned razor-sharp in an instant. " The way I see it, cleaning out the parasites and garbage within the company is the greatest guarantee of stability for its future growth."I nodded toward the head of my legal team, Ivy Ferguson, who stood behind me.She immediately got my meaning and distributed a thick stack of kraft paper document folders to every board member present.Dave opened it with a puzzled expression. He expected to find som

The outcome of the emergency board vote was beyond any doubt. In the face of absolute strength and irrefutable evidence, all resistance seemed pale and laughable.I officially took over Hatfield Group and became its new chairman.Just as I picked up the signing pen—the one that symbolized supreme authority—and made a move to sign the first personnel appointment resolution, the conference room's large screen suddenly lit up on its own.A face that was both elegant and formidable appeared on the screen.It was my maternal grandmother, Laura Hatfield, who was convalescing at a high-end nursing home abroad.She was dressed in a perfectly tailored dress, with a sunlit garden behind her.Though she was 90 years old, her eyes remained as sharp as a hawk's, as if they could pierce right through the screen and see everything that had transpired here."Hello, everyone. I have been online for the entirety of today's meeting."Her steady, commanding voice reverberated through the speakers

This earth-shattering secret was more devastating than any commercial indictment, for it completely demolished any legitimacy behind everything Samantha had done.It transformed her from someone merely fighting over the family fortune into nothing more than a scheming fraud.Samantha collapsed into her chair, her eyes blank and hollow."Impossible. This is impossible," she mumbled over and over again.Before her words had even faded, the heavy double doors of the conference room were shoved open from the outside. Uniformed police officers and a group of grim-faced Commercial Crime Investigation Unit personnel in suits filed into the room.The lead officer produced arrest and search warrants, his voice ringing out loud and authoritative."Samantha Hatfield, Dave Thayer, Craig Cannon, you are suspected of commercial bribery, misappropriation of company property, document forgery, and multiple other offenses. You will be coming with us."The cold handcuffs clicked shut around the w

Chapter 10

Five years later, the massive electronic billboard at Century Square in Procester flashed the cover of the latest Era Magazine on a rolling loop.On the cover was me, and the headline read, "The Iron-Fisted Titan".I had become the youngest cover figure in the history of this world-renowned magazine.That cutthroat birthday party had long since become a legend in the business world, one no one dared to forget. It stood like a warning bell, forever reminding everyone never to rouse a sleeping lion masquerading as tame. Because once it woke, there was no telling whether it'd go for one's throat.In these five years, under my leadership, Hatfield Group had risen from the ashes and expanded its territory several times over, becoming a true business empire.As for my former enemies, Samantha was convicted on multiple counts and sentenced to 20 years in prison.I later heard that after she learned the full truth about her origins in prison, her hair turned white overnight, and she went
