Chapter 161: Cooperation
Chen walked past Damien, his steps steady and authoritative. He stopped in the middle of the spacious living room, facing Darwin who was still standing near the stairs with a tense look.From inside his suit jacket, Chen pulled out a thick, brown envelope. The envelope looked formal and luxurious, with an embossed Cloudreach seal on its surface."Mr. Blackwood," Chen said in a professional tone, extending the envelope. "This is from Chairman Logan."Darwin stepped forward quickly, his hand slightly trembling as he received the envelope. He opened it carefully, pulling out a stack of neatly bound documents.His eyes swept over the first page, then widened.Tom, who was standing beside his father, looked as well, and his face instantly turned to shock."This," Darwin muttered, his voice shaking. "This is,""The joint venture agreement between Blackwood and Cloudreach," Chen finished the sentence calmly. "The document has been signed directly by Chairman Logan himself."Darwin flipped th
Chapter 160: First mistake
Damien was still kneeling on the marble floor of the Blackwood villa, his body trembling. His mind was still trying to process everything his grandfather had just said.Logan controlled Blackwood.Logan was the one who wanted him expelled.Logan!The sound of footsteps came from the entrance. Damien lifted his tear-stained face, his eyes red and swollen.Chen walked in calmly, his steps steady and full of confidence. He wore a neat black suit, his face was expressionless, yet the aura he emitted made the entire room feel colder.Damien's eyes widened when he saw the familiar figure. All the sadness and despair that had just consumed him suddenly turned into boiling rage."You!" Damien shouted, jumping up with a flushed face. "This is all because of you people!” Chen stopped, looking at Damien with a cold and calm stare."Damn you, you piece of garbage!" Damien stepped forward with clenched fists. "You and Logan! You are the jerks who destroyed my life!"Tom, standing in the corner o
Chapter 157: Condition of loyalty
The main door of the Blackwood mansion burst open loudly, hitting the wall with a thunderous sound.BLAM!Damien stormed in with a flushed face, gasping for breath, his eyes fiery with rage."Dad!" he yelled with a voice that echoed throughout the house. "Grandfather! Come out! Both of you!"Several passing servants immediately backed away in fear, not daring to block his way.Tom, who was standing in the living room with a glass of tea in his hand, flinched in shock, nearly dropping his cup."Damien?" he whispered in disbelief.Damien strode in with heavy steps, his hands tightly clenched, his jaw hardened.Tom set down his cup with trembling hands. "Damien, you shouldn't be here.""Don't tell me what I should be doing!" Damien cut in, his voice loud and full of emotion. "I just heard that ridiculous news! That Amelia and I are being kicked out of the family? What the hell is this?!"Footsteps were heard from the stairs.Darwin descended slowly, his face cold and hard, his gaze sharp
Chapter 158: Shrewd Grant
Grant stood near his apartment window, watching Damien's car speed away until it disappeared around the street corner. A faint smile was etched on his face, which then grew into a quiet chuckle that finally erupted into loud laughter echoing in the empty corridor."Idiot," he muttered, closing the door. "So easy to manipulate."Grant walked casually toward his desk, which was cluttered with documents and a laptop. He picked up his phone and skillfully searched for a particular contact. His fingers stopped at the name "Edward".He pressed the call button and waited while pouring whiskey into his glass."Grant?" Edward's voice sounded on the other end after the third ring. "Any news?""More than just news," Grant replied with a satisfied tone. "I've gathered crucial information about the Blackwood empire's survival.""Tell me," Edward sounded more alert now.Grant took a sip of his whiskey before continuing. "The person who saved Blackwood from bankruptcy, I'm almost certain it's Logan.
Chapter 157: Kicked out of the family
The following day. At nine o'clock in the morning, dozens of reporters and cameras already filled the luxurious conference hall rented by the Blackwood family. The spotlights shone brightly, and the noisy chatter of the journalists filled the room.Darwin walked to the podium with a firm stride, followed by Tom behind him. Camera flashes immediately welcomed their presence."Good morning," Darwin began with a stern voice that echoed through the microphone. "Thank you for attending this very important press conference."The reporters immediately took out their phones and cameras, ready to record every word about to be spoken."Today, I stand before you all to convey two important announcements," Darwin continued, his gaze sweeping across the room. "The first, is about the future of the Blackwood family."The room fell silent, all eyes fixed on Darwin."I hereby officially announce that Damien Blackwood, my grandson, along with his wife Amelia, have been expelled from the Blackwood fam
Chapter 156: The heir position
Magnus froze, his body tensing instantly. "What? Who are you?" he snapped, his voice loud. "Where is Carlos? What have you done to him?!" Alex smiled faintly. "Your grandson is alive. For now. But whether he stays alive depends on you." He replied in a deep, unfamiliar voice. Magnus stood up quickly from his chair, gripping the phone so tightly that his knuckles turned white. "If you hurt him, I won't hesitate to kill you!" "You are not in a position to threaten," Alex cut in, his voice remaining calm but carrying a strange authority. "You only have one choice. Listen or lose your grandson forever." Magnus gritted his teeth, his breathing heavy. "What do you want? Money? I'll pay anything, just tell me!" "This is not about money," Alex said coldly. "Money is just trivial. It's worthless in my eyes. Is your grandson's life only worth sheets of paper?" Magnus frowned, confused and angry. "So what exactly do you want?" Alex walked slowly in the garden, making sure no one heard h
