"I know you are confused, but I wish to inform you that every Mafia group have an expected day that they meet up for a convention. This had been the practice for ages now and I need you to know that your father Kingsley was the last leader of the convention committee" The caller explained. "Okay, so what are you driving at?"

Harsh, but fair Lucas scoffed. “You’re telling us this now? At the eleventh hour? Isn’t that a bit… manipulative?” “I’m telling you this now because true leadership adapts,” Donald said coldly. “A Kingston doesn’t crumble under pressure. This is the final test. The last one. And if neither of you meet the goal, I will appoint an external successor. This company will not fall into the hands of mediocrity.” “External?” Aaron repeated, narrowing his eyes. “You’d give our family’s legacy to a stranger?”

How do you keep them together? I swallowed hard. Words came slowly, but they came from somewhere deep. Lead with calm, not fear. Speak last, listen first. Give hope, not commands.

I don’t think you’re the right person to lead Tyto Corp. And frankly, the person pulling the strings behind you may not be the right fit either.”

But her thoughts were cut off when Ashley began to make the new announcement. "My fiancee here, Aryan Bromeo would be the one heading this particular company from now on and I will only support his decision as the coexisting CEO. Because any decisions made by him would be final. And that also means that the respect you give me also applies to him too, you shall not disrespect him.

This man knew his manners. Although he was strong, he recognized the seniority of the guardian, allowing the senior the decision-making. “Good, you’ve aware. What’s your name?” the guardian asked.

The room quietened. “Carter Holdings has become one of the country's most respected companies under your leadership. You've spoken before about rebuilding after personal disappointment."
