**Charismatic Shoemaker Lloyd**Benton scratched his nose in satisfaction, he dropped the document in Old Charles’ care telling Old Charles that acquiring Vorne company was not his plan but they left him with no option.For a moment he paused looking out the window to see the tears trembling down Avery's face, he wished she had genuinely changed but she is still the same person that perpetrated to steal his design.He walked to the road side with his smart phone in his hand immediately he got on his scooter he received a call.His forehead creased for a brief moment staring down at the number that popped up his screen, he answered and then a voice sounded to him. “Benton, where have you been hiding? I've looked for your number everywhere.” “Why did you call,” Benton asked dismissively.“Well, won't you ask how I'm doing? After everything that happened when we were in high school, I thought you didn't want to come for alumni.”He pauses Benton didn't say anything either, Charles was h

**Charismatic Shoemaker Lloyd**Avery rushed forward, stumbling slightly in her expensive heels, her father Tyson just a few steps behind her, breathless and visibly shaken.They both stopped in front of Benton, who stood still, composed… unreadable.With eyes wide and heart pounding, Avery slowly dropped to her knees.“Benton,” she whispered, shame thick in her voice. “We’re sorry… We didn’t know you were a Lloyd. We didn’t know you mattered.”Tyson, clinging to whatever pride he had left, took a step forward. His voice cracked under the weight of desperation.“Benton, listen to me… we’re family, aren’t we? We've always had a strong relationship. You’ve dined at our table. You were married to Avery. That counts for something, we even fed and clothed you.”Benton said nothing. His gaze didn’t flinch, didn’t soften. It cut through them like glass.Then, the door opened behind him, and Old Charles walked in, he was immaculate, confident, with a file in his hands. He approached Benton an

**Charismatic Shoemaker Lloyd**Tyson couldn’t believe his eyes. He burst into Vorne Company that morning, his heart pounding, hoping what he’d heard the night before was just a sick prank.But it wasn’t. It was real.The company felt different, it was too quiet. The staff looked tense, avoiding eye contact, whispering behind closed doors.He rushed straight to the administration sweating profusely.“Did anyone put up our stocks for sale?” he barked.The admin team froze, panic written all over their faces. One finally spoke up, voice shaky. “N-No, sir. Nothing was listed by us overnight. We didn’t authorise any sales.”Tyson’s mind spun. “Then how the hell is this happening?”Avery, standing beside him, was pale. Her hands trembled slightly as she pulled up the data on her tablet. “No... no, this can’t be right,” she muttered, tapping rapidly.Her eyes widened. “Someone’s been buying our shares, anonymously. And not just a little. He’s already taken over 78% of the company.”Tyson st

**Charismatic Shoemaker Lloyd**Benton turned.His eyes locked with hers.Her gaze softened.“Benton,” she said, her voice warm and proud. “My son.”Felix staggered back, stunned.Old Charles turned to him coldly. “Next time you try to throw out a Lloyd make sure it’s not in his mother’s building.”Benton eyes were bing with so much question, but he was too stunned to bring them up.“Let head inside.” Madam Lisa gestured then paused as soon as they were in front of Felix. Felix stuttered he was so cold to the bone that he was devoid of word. “I’m sorry madam Lisa, I thought he was some stray cat, forgive me, I didn’t know he was your son.” Felix faltered to the floor.Madam Lisa looked at him with indifference, she then gets closer to him. “Benton couldn’t make sense of it all. His mind spun as the woman stepped forward—slow, deliberate, like a lioness stalking prey. Her eyes burned into Felix.“You dare look down on my son, Felix,” she growled, her voice trembling with rage.The ai

*Charismatic Shoemaker Llyod*Benton’s eyes widened as the list popped up on the screen. His gaze lingered on the names, each one sinking in slowly before he turned to Old Charles, confusion and disbelief clouding his tired eyes.“This… this is the list of all the shareholders at Vorne?” he asked, voice low.Old Charles gave a small nod. “Every single one.”Benton blinked, stunned. “You got this in less than an hour?”“Barely,” Old Charles replied, calm and proud of his team’s precision.“I can’t believe you actually pulled this off,” Benton whispered.“If you want to lead the Lloyd Company,” Old Charles said, eyes steady, “you’ll have to learn quickly—starting with moments like this.”Benton leaned forward, still staring at the screen. “Did Vorne seriously just hand over the share breakdown like that?”Benton was in the awe of the moment, the list of all the shareholders of Vorne was at his fingertip, this is the least he had expected, after doing him dirty and stealing his design he

*Charismatic Shoemaker Llyod*“Why are you holding the knife?” Benton asked, troubled.Old Charles stepped closer in the small elevator. Benton's heart pounded. He wanted to scream, but no one else was around. It was just the two of them, trapped between floors. Benton's breath hitched as he stared at the sharp blade, unsure of Old Charles’ intentions.Then, slowly, Charles reached into his suit pocket and pulled out a small polythene bag. “Lady Lisa is a cautious woman,” he said calmly. “She asked me to collect a DNA sample from you.”With one swift motion, Charles used the blade to slice off a few strands of Benton's hair.Benton exhaled in relief, shoulders slumping. For a second, he thought Charles was going to kill him and dump his body. After all the sudden return of the lost heir and his amazing wealth and power were too good to be true. “Is all of this necessary?” He muttered.Old Charles looked him dead in the eyes. “Your skill is undeniable, but the world needs proof.
