SEAN CASTLE THE SECRET TRILLIONAIRE

Chapter 8

“I would have handed everything to you after the death of your brother Jonathan, but I didn't find you worthy and fit to keep this family legacy going forward, so I decided to test you to see your loyalty and honesty to this family, but you failed.”

“You embezzle the organization's money and use it for illegal activity, all because of your greediness. Now tell me, between you and Sean, who is capable of ruining this family legacy?”

Everywhere was death silence, no one dared to speak. Because the tension in the hall was high.

Mr Raymond bowed his head in shame, he didn't expect to be humiliated this way by his father before everyone, but at the same time, he was furious in his heart that he has fuck up and planned to bow back in the future.

Mr Walter turned swiftly to Sean, "Promise me to keep this legacy moving forward.”

“I promise that come what may, I will never allow the legacy of this family to be ruined, I will protect and keep the legacy of this family until my last breath.”

“That's my grandson,” Mr Walter said with a smile beaming on his face.

A toast was made for Sean by his grandfather, “For the heir of the castle family and the owner of the Emigrant Emerald conglomerate, Sean, long may he reign.”

And everyone chorus in unison, “long may he reign.”

The celebration of the new heir of the castle family and the new owner of the Emigrant Emerald conglomerate begins.

There was a lot of merriment; people ate and drank to their satisfaction before retiring one after the other to their different homes.

The announcement and the handingover celebration finally came to an end with Mr Walter, giving a vote of Thanks to all those who respectfully honored his invitation and bid them farewell.

The news of the change of ownership of the Emigrant Emerald conglomerate spread like wildfire throughout the country, but nobody knew who the new owner was

Because Sean didn't want his identity to be exposed to the public, he wanted to live a low-profile life to avoid the eyes of the public.

Back to the Grey family, “Father, have you heard about the change of ownership of the Emigrant Emerald conglomerate that is spreading like a wildfire all over the country?” Harry ask

“Yes, son, but the question remains, who is the new owner now?” Mr Desmond asked with a confused expression on his face.

The Grey family was at the edge of striking a partnership deal with the Emigrant Emerald conglomerate, when the change happened, and this meant only one thing for the Grey family.

They will have to wait for the approval of the partnership deal from the new owner before the deal can be carried out. But what troubled the Grey family the most was who the mysterious new owner was, who had not yet been disclosed to the public.

The following morning, Mr Walter, Sean, alongside Mr Richard went to the Emigrant Emerald conglomerate.

But before their arrival, Mr Richard had already informed the managing director, Miss Abigail, that Mr Walter was coming and that everything should be put in place.

It wasn't long enough when Mr Walter and co arrived at the organization.

Everyone at the organization was surprised to see Mr Walter because it had been a long time since he was last seen in the organization. When some of the staff saw Sean, they began to murmur, asking one another if he was the new owner

“Awwwn! He looks so cute and handsome, " says one of the female staff.”

Mr Walter didn't pay any attention to the murmuring since no one dared to speak out.

Miss Abigail came running and trembling when she heard that Mr Walter was in the building.

“Good morning, sir.” Miss Abigail greeted with her head bow.

“Morning, Abigail, how are you doing today?” Asked Mr Walter

“All fine, sir,” replied Miss Abigail.

“Let's talk in my office.”

“Okay, sir.” Miss Abigail hurriedly rushed to the elevator and opened it, ushering Mr Walter, Sean and Mr Richard in.

In less than 15 seconds, the elevator stops, Mr Walter, Sean, and Mr Richard, with Miss Abigail, work out, heading towards Mr Walter's office.

Reaching the office, everyone took their seats, waiting to hear what Mr Walter had to say. Mr Walter cleared his throat and said

“As you all know that Sean here, my grandson, is now the owner of this great organization. I want you all to give him all the support he needs to make this organization thrive and to keep the legacy of the Castle family going.”

He paused before he continued, "By no means shall none of you here take order from anyone without his prior knowledge, be it from my son Raymond or any member of the castle family.”

“This is not a plea, but an order and a command. And any violation of this order by one of you will have his or her life and his or her entire family pay for it.”

Mr Walter wasn't just a man who talks for talking sake, every one of his words comes with power and authority, and it never goes unfulfilled.

Mr Abigail raised her hand

“What is it, Abigail?” Asked Mr Walter

Miss Abigail cleared her throat and asked, “Sir, what about the partnership deal between the Grey corporation and the Emigrant Emerald?”

“Sean will take care of that, and with that being said, the meeting is over.

But before leaving the office, Mr Walter told Miss Abigail to show Sean where his office is located, while he, Mr Walter, and Mr Richard wait back, having some private discussion.

Heading towards the office, Miss Abigail was busy staring at Sean with the corner of her eye, with many questions rushing through her mind.

“He’s so handsome… I wonder if he's married. Maybe I should ask him to dinner.”

All these thoughts were just rushing through Miss Abigail's mind.

Sean decided to break the silence since no one was talking. He cleared his throat and asked

“For how long or years have you been working here?”

Miss Abigail was a little bit shy, so she looked away. And answer

“ five years.”

“Wow! That's amazing, looking forward to working with you.”

They finally reach the office, Miss Abigail opens the door, and ushers Sean in.

“Sean stepped inside, eyes widening as he looked into the glass walls, the polished marble floor, and the panoramic skyline view. His breath caught-this wasn't just an office. It was a throne room.

After carefully observing the office and everything, he turned swiftly and walked out feeling happy and excited.

Now he wasn't just Sean, who was once insulted, humiliated, and betrayed; he was now a trillionaire who had everything under his control.

And now it was time for him to exact revenge on all those who thought he couldn't become anything useful in life.

Starting with Emily and her family.

Sean walked up to his grandfather with a smile beaming all over his face.

“Do you like what you see?” Asked Mr Walter, his grandfather

“Yes,” Sean replied.

“Alright then, I guess we are done here for today.” He turned swiftly and left.

Miss Abigail escorted them to the car and waved them goodbye as the driver drove off.

After a long hour of driving, they finally arrived at the castle estate, and the driver drove and parked at the front of the enormous mansion, and everyone highlighted from the car and went inside.

Sean returns to his room, constantly thinking about all the dramatic changes in his life and also the words of his grandfather about the angry wolves lying in wait to strike.

But Sean vows in his heart that he will never allow the legacy of the family to tarnish, that he will do anything in his best to uphold the family legacy to the end.

Back in the Grey family, everyone was waiting eagerly to know who the Mysterious new owner of the Emigrant Emerald conglomerate was.

Mr Desmond, the head of the Grey family, decided to make a move by going to the Emigrant Emerald conglomerate organization to meet with the managing director, Miss Abigail

Hoping that at least the managing director, Miss Abigail, will reveal to him who the Mysterious owner was.

The sun was barely rising the following morning when Mr Desmond Grey left the house, heading straight to the Emigrant organization to see the managing director, Miss Abigail, on time.

When he arrived, Miss Abigail wasn't yet at the office, but he decided to wait.

After what seemed like an eternity, Miss Abigail finally arrived looking gorgeous, sweet and elegant.

She was so beautiful that passers-by, including the male workers, couldn't take their eyes off her.

Mr Desmond hurriedly rushed to Miss Abigail when he saw her walk in.

“Hey, you look more like the goddess of beauty.” Mr. Desmond's compliment.

Miss Abigail couldn't help but giggle at the compliment from Mr Desmond.

“Thank you,” she replied.

After the compliment and everything, Miss Abigail asked, “What brought you to the organization this early?”

“The partnership deal,” Mr Desmond replied.

Miss Abigail gazes at him for a while before responding. “It is not in my power to approve and seal the deal; you'll have to wait for the approval from the owner.”

“Who is this mysterious owner?” Mr Desmond thought in his heart.

And with the looks of things, Miss Abigail wasn't ready to tell him who the mysterious owner of the Emigrant Emerald conglomerate was because an order was given never to reveal his identity to anyone.

Mr Desmond felt bad, and without any words from him, he walked out.

Meanwhile, in the Harris family, since the departure of Sean, nobody even cares to know what has become of him.

All they cared about was for the Grey family to strike the deal. And aside from that, Emily was appointed as the new manager in the Grey corporation by Mr Desmond, after Harry introduced her to his father as his fiancée.

Life was moving smoothly for both the Harris family and the Grey family, but their only worries were about the partnership deal with the Emigrant Emerald conglomerate.

After Mr Desmond left the office, Miss Abigail put a call through to Sean to inform him about the deal between the Grey corporation and the Emigrant Emerald conglomerate.

Terriining! Terriining! Terriining!The phone rings.

“Hello, who is on the line?” Sean asked.

“It's me, Miss Abigail, I called regarding the partnership deal with the Grey corporation, should I proceed with the approval or wait?”

“Process,” Sean approved without a second thought because he didn't want to keep the Grey corporation waiting.

But what he didn't know was that the Grey corporation that he had just approved a partnership deal with was the corporation that Harry Grey would be the next in line after his father. The same Harry, Emily abandoned him for.

Mr Desmond was taking a nap when a message popped up on his phone.

“Ding!”

Mr. Desmond picked up his phone and checked and he couldn't believe what his eyes had just seen written on his phone screen. He didn't even know when he shouted out for joy; it was a dream come through for Mr. Desmond.

He rushed inside to share the good news with his wife, Miss Rita, who was also waiting anxiously for the approval of the partnership deal.

Miss Rita was very pleased when her husband shared the good news with her.

The partnership deal with the Emigrant Emerald conglomerate broke through the internet, spreading like wildfire.

Other small corporations were jealous because it was a dream for every small corporation in the country to strike a deal with the Emigrant organization.

Partnership with the Emigrant Emerald conglomerate comes with a lot of benefits, fame, establishment, and a massive amount of wealth.

Mr. Desmond wasted no time in hosting a ceremony to celebrate the success of the partnership deal.

Guests were invited, family, friends and relatives, including the Harris family. It was indeed a great day for the Grey family.

Miss Rose couldn't withhold her happiness. She wasn't just happy because of the deal, she was also happy because Emily told her about the intention of Harris to propose to her if the deal is Successful.

The Grey family mansion was full of activities, everything was arranged and put in position for the ceremony. The guests were already arriving one after the other in their best outfits, including Emily and her mother.

Emily wore a stunning blue dress that shimmered under the light, accentuating her graceful figure. She was so beautiful that the guests couldn't stop lusting after her.

The ceremony began, and the Grey family mansion was so lively with the sound of laughter, giggling, and music echoing from the background.

While the ceremony was going on, Harry took the stage, “Attention, everyone.”

Everybody turns and focuses their attention on Harry.

Harry invited Emily onto the stage with him. Harry's heart raced as he clutched the small velvet box in his pocket. Today was the day he was to ask Emily the most important question of his life.

With one knee on the ground, Harry reached into his pocket, pulled out the velvet box, and gently opened it, revealing a sparkling diamond ring.

His eyes locked with Emily, his voice steady but full of emotion.

“Will you marry me, Emily?” Harry asked.

Emily stretched forward her hand and nodded in approval, “Yes, I will marry you.” Emily was full of emotion, and tears were already dropping from her eyes.

With that being said, the room erupted with applause from the guests.

Both the Harris and the Grey families were very proud of the union of their son and daughter.

The ceremony finally comes to an end, and everyone retires to their different houses, aside from Emily and Harry, who spend time together, reflecting on their journey and how it has finally ended.

Back to the Castle mansion, Mr Raymond just returned, after having a very busy day going about his business. After taking his shower and freshening up, he came to his sitting room and turned on the TV.

When he saw the news of the partnership deal with the Grey corporation, his countenance changed, and he clenched his fist.

“Enjoy it while it lasts, Sean,” he muttered. Because I'm coming for it all.”

But unknown to Sean, a silent storm was building since the day he took over.
