The Carters all sat around the table, waiting for the lawyer to arrive. It was finally the day the will would be read again. The room was filled with tension. Everyone knew that whatever happened that day could determine the future of the Carter empire. The door slowly opened, and the lawyer walked in. A loud murmur spread through the room as the members and extended members of the Carter family whispered among themselves. Eric looked at Fiona before shifting his gaze toward Camilla. Camilla's face was completely emotionless. “Welcome.” Eric stepped forward with a smile. “I believe everything is set?” The lawyer looked at him before turning toward the Carter family seated around the room. “Who has the clue to the will left behind by Edward Carter?” Everyone began whispering again. They looked at one another, but no one seemed to have an answer. After a moment, the lawyer brought out a file. “Since no one has a clue about what the deceased left behind, I have no other o

I was immediately ushered into the Carter company's headquarters, and I could feel dozens of eyes following me as I walked through the building.“Do you see that?” one of the workers whispered to his colleague.“He is a child... or should I say a teenager?” the other replied.I pretended not to hear them.“Welcome to Carter Food Company,” Mr. Nicholas, the managing director, said with a polite smile. “This is where we produce food products and distribute them to the market. Of course, we still have many other companies under the Carter name if you would like to see them.”My heart was beating slowly as I tried to absorb everything happening around me.This was my family's company.And somehow, I was now supposed to be in charge of it.“Are you listening to me, Mr. Jason?” Mr. Nicholas asked, bringing me back to reality.“Of course. I can hear you loud and clear.”I looked around the building.“But first, I would like to see all the workers.”I walked further into the company.News of

K1 and K2 immediately rushed outside to find the shooter, but by the time they got there, he was nowhere to be found.I remained where I was, staring at the assassin lying on the ground. Blood was slowly oozing from his neck and staining his clothes."Is he...?" I asked, unable to finish my sentence.Benson glanced at the body before looking back at me."He got him right where he wanted him," Jay said, placing a hand over his nose as he stared at the dead assassin. "He is dead."Marcus looked at me, and I could immediately see the regret written across his face."I knew this was a bad idea. We should have taken him to the police," Marcus said."No, what?" I snapped, turning toward him.My anger was already boiling inside me. I couldn't believe what had just happened."Now we are back to square one!"I dropped heavily into a chair and buried my face in my hands.We had finally caught someone who might have given us answers, and now he was dead.Everything had gone wrong.I had no idea

All eyes turned toward the beautiful girl walking in our direction.The entire courtyard seemed to fall silent for a moment."Who is she?" someone asked loudly.Almost immediately, several students pulled out their phones to capture the scene.I barely had time to react before K2 walked toward me.In the blink of an eye, she grabbed me, pulled me closer, and pressed her lips against mine.My eyes widened.I wasn't expecting it at all.The kiss was passionate enough to leave me completely stunned.The entire courtyard erupted."Whoa!"Several students gasped while others clapped and cheered.K2 finally pulled away, leaving me standing there in shock.I glanced at Linda and noticed the anger spreading across her face.I couldn't help but smile."Looks like I'm having a date to the party after all."I turned toward Linda."See you there. And don't forget to bring your sweet and rich Ethan along when you come."Linda's face darkened.She looked at K2, then back at me before turning around

Eric looked around the room, his face filled with anger."Well, I am just as entitled to all of this as you are. I'm not going to allow a teenage boy to sabotage everything I've worked my ass off to build until this day."I stared at him before looking at the other members of the family."What are you talking about, Eric? We've all seen the video, and I think we already know what is going to happen."Eric's jaw tightened."I am Edward Carter's son."The room immediately fell silent.His voice was filled with anger."How can my own father decide to leave everything to someone he met only a few days before his death? Does that make any sense to you?"Camilla scoffed."You? A Carter? Wow!"Henry Carter immediately fired back."My brother certainly knows how to sow his seeds."Eric glared at him."So?"The lawyer adjusted his glasses."What exactly are you trying to say?""My father couldn't possibly leave without giving his own son something!"Eric shouted as he dropped heavily back into
