Chris wasn't satisfied with the vague information his father had given him. If there was a deep grudge between the families, he wanted to know. However, he was being pushed to the forefront of the battle without any clue. “Chris?” Jones called out, wanting an answer. “I am not interested.” Chris hissed and in the next second, he walked back to his bedroom. He had planned to leave home to work that morning and he did just that. He could bury his head in work and forget about the baggage around him. Thirty minutes later, Chris was ready for work and he walked out to meet his father in the same position he left him in. “I see you are ready to leave...” Jones took a proud look at his son. But still, Chris gave no heed to his father’s words. But Jones didn't mind, he knew Chris would soon come to terms with what he was saying. “Prepare, Chris. The country will want to know who the heir to the Westminster family is…”Jones’s words faded out as Chris walked out of the house. Rico Axe

Chris sat at his table, tapping on the hard surface with a dim look in his eyes. His heart was heavy, wondering why too many things were happening at the same time. Not only was he betrayed, he had a chairman on his radar, alongside his son, Baron. Not only that, he had two insolent boys on his radar as well. He wondered when he would be able to take out Reid and Mike from his life completely. However, the most urgent matter at hand was Baron who had Mia’s parents. He wondered if he should succumb to Baron’s threats or not. If he did, Baron would be able to order him around and that was against his nobility. An heir of the Westminster family shouldn't be made to bow before anyone.And if he didn't succumb, the school’s rooftop incident was bound to be reopened again. This time, the public will definitely dig into it. “What are you going to do now, boss?” Rico Axe asked as Chris had briefed him on everything. “You are not going to succumb to Baron, are you?” He asked. “Haha…” Ch

A round of applause echoed in the conference hall as Jones Westminster walked up to the podium. At the same time, flashes and shutters of cameras filled the hall as the reporters were eager to see the heir being introduced. “Welcome, everyone.” Jones Westminster looked into the camera with a solid gaze. “We all are here to address the ongoing speculations about the Westminster family.”“Is it true that the Rice family is in a dirty fight with the Westminster family?” A reporter broke through, throwing that question. Immediately, another reporter threw another question, “Is it true that you used to be close friends with the Rice family patriarch and a business dispute tore you apart?”Jones went quiet, not expecting that question. He expected the reporters to let him speak and conduct the conference before even asking questions. But instead, they refused to go according to plan. “Everyone, your questions will be attended to soon,” Jones spoke up firmly. “Mr. Chairman, are you tryin

Baron sat there, in shock at the words Chris had spouted toward him. He thought he had Chris in a chokehold but it didn't seem so. So, he held onto the sides of the table, his knuckles turning white because of how angry he was. His cockiness disappeared with the wind and he returned to his stoic and calculative self. “Are you going back on our deal, Chris Westminster?” He asked. “We never had a deal, did we?” Chris smiled, as he witnessed every of Baron’s switch in emotions. Now that he had control over the situation, he felt like the true son of the Westminster family. “You…” Baron stared at Chris with a glare, his teeth gritted against each other. “Since we never had a deal, Baron Rice, I think my time here is up.” Chris stood up, his stance domineering which caused Baron to frown even more. He had underestimated Chris for real. “If you need to discuss business with me again, then you can reach out to my assistant. He will convey your messages to me.” As soon as Chris finishe

“Have you seen the news?” Rico Axe rushed into Chris’ study room with an anxious gaze. “Those bastards took it a notch higher than I expected. They even claimed that we ruined their family business!”“I want to slit their throat so bad!” Axe was so annoyed that he couldn't do anything. Back at the mafia base, it was so easy to get rid of people like that. But then they had to tread with caution here. “Calm down, Axe. We have everything under control, I guess.” Chris shrugged with a nonchalant expression. After he listened to the news once, he refused to listen to it again. Even though he wasn't guilty of anything they said, he still couldn't stomach the insults and might do something drastic. “Have you gotten the confessions from them all?” Chris asked. “Yes. Ren’s confession was especially shocking…” Rico Axe said, looking at Chris with a sympathetic expression. “Those people really wanted to wreck you. Thank God we planned for this ahead otherwise, Baron is going to wreck you.”“
