He was sure it was just the momentary shine of him being named the God of War's son that caused the change. It was a matter of time before Morrell remembered who his real loyalty was to.Solana seemed to have little experience with event decoration too. When she started talking in detail about placements and angles, he was sure she would be of great help to Fallon once the real arrangement began.The audio engineer offered to get volunteers to help ensure sounds ran smoothly that day.“Good,” Adrian said. “I will be in charge of the website where interested participants can sign up. I will manage it too.”

The weavers are connecting the dots. You said to inform you the moment we get anything. Hope surged within Adrian, but he tamped the excitement down.Expectation always came with a cost.Better to wait than hope too soon.“Let me know the moment you confirm,” he hurriedly typed back. “Send me the confirmed details immediately.”Despite his conscious effort to calm down, his feet quickened towards the door, and he almost ran into someone.“Watch where you are going, young master,” Henry sneered at the title as he tried not to gape jealously at Adrian's custom wear.He knew that shirt brand. The kind he could only dream of.The trousers. One of a kind.Annoyed by the way Henry blocked the doorway while covetously giving him a once-over, Adrian's voice came out light, edged with cold.“Miss me, manager?”Henry's face coloured as he realised he wasn't discreet after all.“Why would I…?”“Because you came all the way here when we have no business this morning?” Adrian cut in sharply.The

Seraphina had thought they would surely leave her be now.They got their moment of glory at the Jenkins' event, so maybe they would keep their claws off her? She was wrong.As she walked in that afternoon after a long day of negotiations and paint smell tingling in her nose, exhaustion pressed down on her.Winning back her mother’s legacy was exhilarating, but it was draining. All she wanted was to take a shower, rest for a while, and then get back on the phone. She was trying to get new transport additions. It hadn't been exactly easy, but she was far from backing down.Then she walked through the door and found Helena decked from head to toe in finery. Vivian was almost identical in her lavish wear. Seraphina noticed there had been some additions to their jewellery since the Jenkins event. She didn't care how they got it as long as it didn't affect her.But the twin smirks they wore as their gazes raked over her disdainfully, while Geoffrey buried his nose in a glossy magazi

Seraphina supposed her tiredness must have contributed to her not seeing the scheme so fast.“This was never about GLENCo, was it? You just want to sink your claws into Adrian. Parade him around like your prized collection?”“Hey, don't talk to your mother like that!” Geoffrey bellowed.Seraphina's low tone was just as heated as she said, “She is not my mother.”Helena immediately intervened before her husband messed things up. Of course, she didn't want to be acknowledged as the brat's mother. The plan had to work out.Her v

A dinner invitation. Adrian wondered how he had got involved with another family’s drama when he had enough on his plate already.A promise. An impulsive promise made to his fake fiancée had got him into this.Well, he could have declined the invitation. But there had been something in her tone. He knew that tone. A proud woman’s unspoken plea.Dahlia had been like that.

“Mr Smith will see you now.” Henry immediately stood from the waiting room and followed the assistant. His gaze travelled up her smooth legs to her firm buttocks encased in a tight-fitting pencil skirt. Arousal stirred in him but he reluctantly pulled his gaze away. Scott had promised him so much more than this. When he successfully gets that bastard out of the company, everyone he needed would be his for the taking. “He is here, sir.&rdqu

“Sir, did you…?”“Hear you? Yes. You are the department's manager, right?”“Yes, sir," Henry said eagerly.“I gave you a task. You handed it to an intern?”The anger on Edward's face wasn't what Henry expected to be directed at him. “No, sir. He… forced me.”“An intern forced you," Edward echoed.“With his family background, sir," Henry said anxiously now. “He's the God of War's newly adopted son, sir. He threatened to ruin the company. I was just trying to protect the company, sir.”

Chapter 178
In the hallway, Henry stood like a statue for a moment. “What just happened?” he whispered in bewilderment.Today was supposed to be the beginning of the end for that arrogant bastard. How come Henry got demoted instead?The panic that had made him crawl earlier soon hardened into fury as he looked back in the direction of the COO's office. This was planned. It had to be. If not, how can the COO suddenly flip the script on him like that?
Chapter 179
Inside the office, Scott had a pleased smile on his face as he leaned back in his seat.If those two swindlers decided to go low, then he could go lower as well. Everything in this company was his. If he decided to take it all, nobody would dare question him. He had been too soft with them all.Now he would begin to…He blinked as his eyes caught on something on the wall opposite him.Dread began to settle in his stomach as something he had once thought was just a hallucination began to happen again.On the dark wall of his office, right above the couch,

“Sir, I swear I know nothing about it!”Scott couldn’t shake Henry’s voice as he stared at the bare wall hours later. After threatening to sack anyone who dared gossip about what they saw, he dragged Henry aside and demanded an explanation.“Prank, sir?” Henry had answered in confusion. “I wouldn’t dare, sir. I was coming to you to…”“The writing on the wall, Henry. I swear I will make you suffer for trying such shit on me!”The fool had looked even more confused after that.“What writing, sir?”“Still pretending?” Scott had dragged him by the lapel and pushed him through his office door.“Look for yourself, you moron! Look what you did to my wall! How dare you?!” he had snapped without stepping inside himself.Henry had been quiet for a moment.Then he said, “Sir, apart from the art, there is nothing on the wall, sir."“What the fuck are you…?”He had almost stepped inside before the memory of that creepy writing made him step back again.His secretary arrived just then.The smell o
