Chapter 240
The limousine rolled through the streets of North Central New York, one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in New York. Sterling and Max are on their way to the “la fonte” hotel. This was the location where Sterling and Max were told to meet Ferdinand the assassin. Sterling had contacted Ross Robert, one of the best contractors in the underworld to help him get in contact with Ferdinand.The plan was simple, they would hire Ferdinand Giucerro aka Dead Man to carry out the assassination of Samuel at the most public event the Golden family holds, the ball. Sterling aims to end Samuel publicly, therefore eliminating any possible trace of his death to either him or Max. Since they will both be present at the ball as well.Sterling settled back into the plush leather seat of the limousine, his expression pensive as Max shifted beside him. "So, uncle," Max began, his brow furrowed in thought, "you mentioned this 'Dead Man' guy – the infamous assassin. What's his story?"Sterling's lips cu

Sterling leaned back in his chair, a proud grin spreading across his face as Max sauntered into the study. "Well, well, your plan turned out to be a real stroke of genius, uncle," Max said, shaking his head in disbelief.Sterling chuckled, the gleam in his eyes unmistakable. "I knew you'd appreciate the elegance of it, my boy." Max plopped down in the chair across from him, curiosity etched on his features. "But how'd you convince that caretaker to play her part? She had to know she was walking to her death, right?"Sterling leaned forward, a cunning smile on his lips. "Ah, I just told her Samuel would have her detained, and that I'd get her out. Assured her Samuel would never dare kill someone in public, not with all those eyes watching."Max's brows shot up. "And she bought that?"Sterling puffed out his chest, radiating smugness. "Of course she did. You see I know my nephews better than they know themselves. I knew Samuel would react exactly how I expected to keep up his image as
Chapter 238
Jennifer was by herself in her room, feeling the heavy burden of the recent events that could engulf her. The caretaker's execution and Samuel's cold, ruthless gaze haunted her. She was startled by a soft tap on the door, and she hurriedly wiped away the tears that had slipped out. "Come in," she said, her voice timid and hesitant. The door swung open, and Jill entered, her face showing worry. "Jennifer, are you okay?" she asked gently, looking carefully at Jennifer's expression. Jennifer paused, feeling her heart beat faster. She was unsure if she could completely rely on Jill, yet the burden of her anxieties and uncertainties had grown too heavy to carry by herself. "I ... I don’t know," she confessed, her voice unsteady. Jill inched nearer, settling on the edge of the bed next to Jennifer. "I am aware that all of this has been a lot to handle," she mentioned softly. “The Golden family has a knack for pulling people into our mysterious web, whether you're prepared or not.”Jenni
Chapter 237
As they rolled up to the Golden Foundation estate, Jennifer felt a surge of nerves. The place was massive, with fancy-dressed guests and Golden family members milling about. She glanced nervously at Samuel."Remember, you're a Golden now, so hold your head high," he murmured, giving her back a gentle push as he guided her inside. He needed to play the role of a loving husband while in public. He knew he couldn’t be his usual cold and distant self right now.After walking through the impressive entrance hall, Jennifer couldn't shake the feeling of being out of place. People were gazing and murmuring no matter where she turned her head. On the contrary, Samuel appeared very comfortable, effortlessly introducing her to various important individuals. The main reason for the foundation that eased her anxiety was the orphan children. Jennifer put effort into smiling and engaging in small conversations, but she felt overwhelmed by the intense scrutiny. Drifting off, she felt herself pulled
Chapter 236
The Golden estate was eerily quiet, save for the soft click of Sterling's dress shoes as he strode purposefully through the mansion with a tall glass of red wine in his hands. Accompanying him is his nephew, Max, whose face was a mask of calculated calm. Both men stopped in front of a hedge bush looking into the garden.As Max reached the ornate door leading to the lush garden, Sterling paused, taking a deep breath before speaking firmly. "Hey Max, you need to remember that Samuel is smart, and every move we take must be well calculated so it doesn’t trace back to us."There was a moment of silence before Max retorted, revealing Max's inquisitive expression. "Uncle Sterling, you worry too much.” He said with a slight smirk on his face “I’ve already laid the seeds of confusion in Samuel’s life, starting with his wife Isabella, I gave her a…”.“Isabella?” Sterling interrupts Max mid sentence with a confused gaze. “Nephew, the woman who is married to Samuel is Jennifer Bennett, not Isabe
Chapter 235
The dimly lit backroom of the Golden estate was thick with tension as Sterling Golden and Maximilian, his newly-minted ally, discussed their plot to overthrow Samuel's rule.Sterling reclined in his seat, a wicked grin appearing on his face. “Max, are you saying you're ready to go to any lengths to overthrow your stepbrother and take your rightful position in the family?”Max nodded, his eyes shining with an intense hunger. "Definitely, Uncle. For too many years, Samuel has refused to give me my rightful portion of the family's riches and power. It's about time I claimed what belongs to me."Sterling chuckled, the noise was quiet and full of threat. "That is precisely what I was hoping to hear. With your inside information and my assets combined, we will be unbeatable.”"What is the strategy now?” Max, leaning forward eagerly, inquired. “What is our plan for achieving this successfully?"Sterling squinted as he pondered the choices before him. “Initially, we must tarnish Samuel's repu
