The company really delivered this year!” “Mr. Aster is so generous! Hard work pays off! Let’s make next year even greater!” … One shout of “fifty thousand” after another burst around me like firecrackers. I lowered my head and checked my banking app. It was empty.

After confirming the formula was legitimate, Ruby handed it back to Troy, her face lighting up with a seductive smile. She said, "So this is one of Rhodes Corporation Pharmaceutical Division's legendary formulas? "I heard they're worth more than gold, but honestly, it's not as impressive as I imagined.

Could I take Alex's empire and transform it into something that helped people instead of destroying them? "Let's do it," I said. Tony's smile was proud. "I was hoping you'd say that." Three weeks later, I sat in a lawyer's office with Pepper and Tony, reviewing documents for the shell corporation we'd created: Phoenix Rising Holdings. "The name is a bit on the nose," I admitted.
