Hours later, at the Kia Fashion company building….Carla Kia walked into her office, disoriented and filled with regret. Her heart ached at the thought that she had left a man who showed her genuine care for years for Terry who couldn't even be bothered with her after her contract loss. And that genuine man was after her best friend. Her best friend Cora, was from a wealthy family unlike her, who had to fight her away to the top alongside her mother. Cora always had everything, and she silently envied Cora for a long while. She fought to be on the same social standing and yet, Cora wanted to rob her of Robin. No way!Her hands itched, nervousness and anxiety creeping in. She was going to get that care back, the one Robin had for her. She wouldn't be able to stand it if her best friend stood beside Robin and was proclaimed as the madam of Julls Corp!That position would be hers! Quickly, she pressed the intercom button on her desk. In two seconds, her door flung open and her male a

A silent stare, one that was filled with thorns and knives followed Robin as he gracefully roamed through the party hall, greeting guests alongside the chairman.It was a slap to Brother West’s face as it felt like Robin, a bastard who had appeared from nowhere with his father had taken his place. West wanted to yank him away and throw him out of the party hall but his hands were tied. If he made a reckless move, he would lose favor in the sight of his old father. On the other hand, Robin followed the old man around, greeting the guests. This wasn't just an announcement that he was the old man’s close-knit, it was something more that could displace Brother West in his place. Robin had never had a conversation with the old man about such a placement but he silently followed the old man’s directives. “This is the chairman of Wells Reserve.” The old man introduced, as they stood before a well-polished middle-aged man. For a split second, Robin regretted not dressing up formally for s

Nighttime came, and speculations around Robin were still going on. The gossip of him taking the place of the five biological children of the Blackman was also on the lips of the netizens. Keyboard warriors bashing him for spurting out of nowhere and wanting to greedily reap the benefits. However, all those degrading words thrown at him didn't even go through his thick skin. “So far so good, your father hasn't responded to any of the news. Only a few people know you are from the Davenson family of Eastbourne City…” Mason reported, sitting in the car passenger seat. “How is he fairing?” Robin was quite interested in how his father was taking the news. “It’s bad.” Mason let out a sly smirk, a mirror one his boss would have when their enemies crumble. “Your father is currently cooped up in the Davenson mansion with his mistress raking down the whole place.”“Ethan is also at the mercy of his mother since his business had failed.” “Good.” Robin smiled, his plans were setting in motion

“Brother West, that’s enough. Let’s not concern ourselves with people of the past.” The mayor spoke up while sending a condescending gaze straight at Robin. “Yes, yes, you are right. Come with me.” Brother West let out a happy laugh, clearly, his ego had been massaged so well and as they walked in, the silence descended on Robin. No, he wasn't hurt. He was calm, too calm for the kind of embarrassment and betrayal he had just gone through. However, he was going to use their mockery as a stepping stone. He promptly walked out and at the entrance, he met up with Mason who already had a pile of information for him. However, Mason quickly led him straight to a hotel suite he booked immediately he realized something had gone wrong. “Did we miss something on our part?” Robin asked as he settled into the luxurious hotel suite. “Yes, we did.” Mason nodded with a grim look. “What?” Robin pursed his lips with a serious expression. “Did the old man do this?” “No.” Mason shook his head. “Ch

The silence proceeded over the room for more than ten seconds before the prime minister spoke up with a grim expression. His displeased gaze was directed toward Chairman Wells who quickly looked down in shame. On the other hand, Brother West also had a grim look on his face, everyone could literally see his world crumbling. His pride was broken by none other than the man he made fun of. “Robin, you—”“That’s enough!” A governor slammed his fist on the table, and West flinched in fear. He didn't dare to say a word, only bowing his head in shame like his accomplice. “Announce the results.” The prime minister ordered the attendant with a blank gaze, he now had his emotions under control. If the result were in West’s favor, all would be canceled immediately. Everyone else had the same thought but West still had hope while Robin sat back, coolly. “Robin Davenson, four votes.” Those words were not shocking and neither was it devastating to Robin. But he realized if he eventually becam
