The Scorned Heir

Cassie stared at her grandfather, stunned. He intended to take advantage of the terrible position and marry her to some wealthy man. She didn't care if the so-called Mason Stitch was wealthy or owned a multibillion-dollar corporation. Her husband was everything to her. She loved him dearly.Mason, who was nearby, gave a wry smile. He had always wanted to marry Cassie. She was stunning, and the perfect trophy wife look. She’d also look great by his side at high-profile events. She was an eye-catching candy. Aside from her attractiveness, he had another reason for wanting to marry her, but that was a story for another day. With all these reasons combined, he'd tried tirelessly to win her over with his money even after she'd married, but she refused. If there was one thing he couldn't fathom, it was her attachment to a man who couldn't provide her anything. What, after all, did she see in the heinous being? He wasn't that attractive, so what was his allure? What did Ethan possess that

Ethan shifted his gaze to his sleeping wife. Her head was resting on a pillow, and she looked so lovely and at peaceA smile lit up his face as he remembered his last night’s resolution. He had said he would assist her. He had persuaded himself that receiving the inheritance from his grandfather would put an end to all their humiliations and worries. He'd do it, and she'd be free of her family for good. He got out of bed and looked at the clock on the table. It read 5:30 a.m. He sighed deeply. His phone, which was also on the table, beeped simultaneously, and stretching his hand, he grabbed the device. He'd gotten an email from Stark Inc. His eyes widened in surprise. Why would Stark Inc. contact him by email? He opened the email quickly to read the contents. "Dear Ethan, the board of directors of Stark Inc. has unanimously voted to induct you as the company director, and for the time being, we have made you Chairman and CEO of our new takeover, Buddy Industries." Ethan stopped r

The bidding for the casino project was announced shortly after Ethan left the office. The news shocked the city, just as he had predicted. There would be many bidders because it was a multi-million dollar project. Several companies were eager to meet and get to know the enigmatic new Chairman of the Buddy Industry. What was his name? How did he acquire the Buddy Industry for approximately $500 billion in one lump sum payment? Many companies would need almost a year to raise such funds, but he bought the company in a day. How is that even possible? When his name was printed as "Mr. White," numerous companies wanted to learn more about him to gain his favor and win the bid for the Casino project. Everyone, however, had no idea who he was. His only identity was his surname, which could not offer them enough vital information. Many wealthy families were likewise drawn to the new personality that had emerged in the city. They wanted to introduce him to their daughters in the hopes that

Cassie couldn't take the mockery her parents were inflicting on Ethan. He had only urged her to undertake the task because he believed in her. Unfortunately, he was the only member of the family who still had faith in her."Ethan made no mistake in telling me to accept the task. I have a few days to plan my efforts and pitch the offer to the Buddy Industry. Why can't you all trust me? Isn't this the most effective approach to end the humiliation? If I win this offer, our family will be revered once more, and I will be appointed as the company's director. Wouldn't you appreciate it if that happened?""Listen, Cassie, the bid for the casino project will include many well-known and reputable companies. If you believe you can bargain with Buddy, you're wasting your time. Even your granddad is helpless in this battle. That’s why he pitched others to do it. You are making a very terrible decision."Ethan stood beside Cassie, silently listening to what they said. He continued to smile inside

As Cassie reached for a pen to sign the contract, a thought crossed her mind. Only her husband, Ethan White, pushed and supported her to take on the mission. When everyone thought she couldn't close the transaction, he encouraged her to give it her all. He maintained his confidence as he told her to believe in herself and that everything would be OK. Could Mr. White, the chairman, be her husband? The more she thought about it, the more perplexed she grew. Ethan was raised as an orphan by a poor adoptive mother. How could he be Mr. Stark's grandson? However, it made sense. That was the only explanation she could think of for the chairman's remarkable kindness. There was no way a man she'd never met would be so eager to collaborate with her. She lifted her gaze to meet Demi's, unable to stand it any longer. "Please, I have a question." Is Ethan White your chairman?"Demi was surprised by her inquiry, but she immediately regained her composure. Ethan had told her to keep his identity
