Chloe nodded rapidly and set the tablet in front of Rosalind, her fingers trembling as she tapped the screen. “It’s confirmed,” she said breathlessly. “Multiple sources have reported it. There’s footage too. His body was found this morning.”Rosalind leaned over the desk and stared at the screen. Her eyes scanned the headlines:‘Vincent Carlisle Found Dead in His Residence’ ‘Cause of Death Unknown, Authorities Investigating’ ‘Underworld Rumors Swirl After Sudden Death of Business Tycoon’“What the hell…?” she murmured, disbelief tightening in her chest. “This can’t be real. Are you sure this isn’t just a rumor? Maybe someone’s spreading misinformation again?”“I thought so too,” Chloe replied, her voice lower now. “But I cross-checked. It’s on every major private news channel. Even the encrypted ones that cover underworld affairs. They wouldn’t post something this big unless it was verified.”Rosalind reached for the tablet herself, scrolling through quickly. Her fingers paused over
CHAPTER 105
“Of course, there’s no way it was just them who took out their father like that,” Wesley said, his brows furrowing. “Someone else must have been involved. And whoever passed the news to you must have omitted parts of the story, especially the involvement of someone skilled at hiding.”Hearing that, Dorian nodded in agreement. It made sense. Vincent had always been physically stronger than his sons. That strength was how he had controlled them for so long, forcing them to bend to his will.“I told him to name one of his sons as heir, but he refused,” Dorian said with a sigh. “That’s his business. I don’t care. But he used to handle many things for me, and now that he's gone, it’ll be a pain.”“You could just find someone else,” Wesley suggested.“Someone else?” Dorian echoed, thinking for a moment. “Well, it’s not exactly easy to find someone with twenty years of experience and unwavering loyalty. Or maybe it’s for the best that he died. Now we can find someone new.”Then he tilted his
CHAPTER 104
The following morning, right by the pool of the Granger Villa, a man sat on a lounge chair, his gaze fixed on the still surface of the water. Dressed in a white shirt, unbuttoned at the top, and dark slacks rolled just above his ankles, he looked every bit relaxed, but his clenched jaw and the untouched drink by his side told a different story.The sun had barely risen, casting a soft glow across the villa grounds. The calm was deceptive.A few feet away, on another recliner, an older man leaned over the figure of a sleeping young woman in a bikini. His hand brushed her thigh as he whispered something inaudible.The moment his fingers moved higher, the girl stirred, then snapped awake.“What the hell?!” she shouted, eyes wide in horror.She shoved the man back with both hands, nearly knocking him off the chair. The old man stumbled, startled and flustered.“Wait—baby, relax—”“Don’t call me that!” she spat, already on her feet, grabbing her towel and heels in a rush. “You said I could
CHAPTER 103
“Where do you think you’re going?” Rosalind asked as soon as Sean turned to leave.She had promised Nate that she would get Sean to apologize if he was in the wrong, and there was no way she would let him walk out like that. He was either going to show evidence that the company was actually going bankrupt or apologize.“We haven’t given you permission to leave,” Eleanor added sharply. “The meeting isn’t over yet, so sit down.”Sean turned his head to look at her and raised an eyebrow. Since when did he need permission to leave? It wasn’t like anything they were discussing had anything to do with him. He wasn’t investing, and according to them, he didn’t know anything about business anyway, so what was the point in staying?“There’s no need for me to be here,” he said calmly. “Dinner is finished, and as you all said, I’m not contributing anything valuable to the conversation. So, I’m going to leave.”At that, all of them frowned at Sean. Even Rosalind looked frustrated that he had resp

“Defamation isn’t a joke?” That was the first thing Sean thought when he heard Nate’s words. If he hadn’t read the filings himself, he would’ve thought Nate was truly clueless. His acting was that good.Sean slowly stood, facing Nate directly, unbothered by the threat.“Then sue me,” he said calmly. “But if I were you, I’d make sure the papers you file aren’t as empty as your promises.”Nate’s smirk twitched. The table fell into silence again. And this time, the tension wasn’t just between the two of them. The others were visibly pissed with Sean.Rosalind was the first to speak. Her tone wasn’t soft anymore. It was sharp.“What evidence do you even have to say something like that?” she demanded. “You’re not in the business world, Sean. You don’t run companies, you don’t sign deals, you don’t sit in boardrooms. So how the hell would you even know that Rowe & Co. is going bankrupt?”Sean didn’t react.“And telling him to sue you?” she added, her brows knitting. “What are you even think
