Only Charlotte looked at Logan with unwavering trust.She believed in him.He would never harm her.Harry hitted the speaker as the call connected.“Ava, here’s your contract? You said you’re signing the contract today. Are you done? Let me tell you what Logan—”But before he could finish, Ava’s voice crackled through the line, trembling and soaked in tears. “Dad… Dad, I—I don’t know what to do. The deal’s off! Liam Hayes—he was fired. Fired in front of everyone.” “Then they dragged me out like I was trash! Security! The police—oh God, the police even questioned me! They said I was his accomplice! I barely cleared my name.” “Rhine even blacklisted me. I’m finished! Dad, what can I do? I—”Ava was sobbing hysterically.Harry’s face drained of color as he fumbled to hang up.He knew Ava had no reason to lie to him.So it was true that Ava had failed, and Logan hadn’t stolen her work.And most embarrassing, the whole room had heard their conversation.Everyone fell awkwardly silent.H
Chapter 18
“You… Logan...?” Her eyes sparkled in joy and disbelief. “How did you pull this off?” Logan smiled, shrugging. "An old friend at the top helped out.” Yeah, an “old friend” helped. Namely ... he himself. Charlotte was excited. She jumped up at Logan and hugged him. "Thank you, Logan!" Logan returned her embrace and smile. Then Charlotte's voice grew steely. “Let’s go tell Mom and Dad, and our greedy uncle the good news!” She grabbed Logan’s hand and headed out. Back in the living room, Logan and Charlotte had just stepped in when— Harry was lounging on the couch, a glass of red win in hand, legs crossed. He shot Logan a scornful look, and before Charlotte could open her mouth, he spat at her with a disapproval look. “How could you end up with a trash like this? Just look at my daughter Ava—what good taste she has! She’s bring home a boyfriend soon who’s a manager with a million-dollar salary.” “Even Rhine Corporation’s COO, Liam Hayes, is fond of her, an

As soon as Logan finalized the contract, he hopped on his old motorcycle, rode through the quiet streets of Elleville and pulled into the Sullivan family’s driveway.The deal had gone smoothly and he was planning to give Charlotte a big surprise!Just as he pulled off his helmet and pushed opened the door, voices from the living room floated over. And he immediately recognized the grating voice of Harry Sullivan—Charlotte’s uncle and Ava’s father.“I’m only saying this for your good, John,” Harry said smugly. “Be smart. Elysian Bloom is a sinking ship, and you’re clutching the wheel like a fool! Sell the company shares to me now, and I’ll make sure you get something out of the wreckage.” “A couple hundred thousand. Maybe even a house in the outskirts.” “But if you wait until that company collapses—and it will—you’ll be begging on the streets!”Logan could even hear the arrogance and entitlement in Harry’s tone.Harry took a leisurely sip of red wine, and smirked, “You’re my brothe

BANG! The call ended with a loud crash. Liam’s breath caught in his throat. Logan? That powerless nobody, that loser, that unwanted son-in-law, was really the new CEO of Rhine Group?! The phone slipped from his trembling fingers and clattered to the floor. “Done reporting?” Logan sneered with suppressed rage as his voice echoed in Liam’s ears. Liam staggered backward with his eyes wide with terror as the meaning of Felix’s words settled in. After a long pause, fear finally choked his defiance and he collapsed to his knees. “S—Sir,” Liam stammered with his eyes wide with panic. Logan waved him off, his voice satirical. “Sir? What sir? Aren’t I a loser son-in-law desperately seeking for money? Weren’t you asking for my wife to keep you company? Remember?” Realization dawned. Liam dropped to his knees with a loud thud. “I swear, I didn’t know who I was dealing with. I was blind! Please, Sir—Logan, please! Please forgive me!” He cried out and his already swollen face tre

Liam’s rage erupted and his voice cracked with fury.“Now I get it! Claudia Rennard! … so you teamed up with this bastard, huh? Playing your little power games behind my back! How dare you?"“Just wait, you’re going to regret this!” Liam spat, a cruel smile crept onto his face. “I swear, you’ll wish you never stepped foot into this company, let alone became Vice President. The moment I speak to Mr. Graves, you’re done! Finished!”Logan raised an eyebrow, amused by the pathetic display. The empty threats were almost entertaining. He leaned back with his lips curled into a smirk, watching Liam dig his own grave.“And look what a fool you are, Claudia!” Liam continued, as he pointed at Logan. “If you wanted to take me down, why didn’t you find a better actor? Why pick this damn loser? Him? The new CEO? My ass! At least dress him better—he looks more like a beggar!”Claudia couldn’t help but look at Liam as if he was an idiot.Claudia’s silence seemed to have added fume to Liam’s ange
Chapter 14
Meanwhile, after seeing the others up the elevator, Melanie, Claudia’s secretary, got back to the procurement department’s conference room.She frowned at Ava, who was fidgeting nervously.“Why are you still here?”Ava glanced uneasily at the woman in front of her—barely two or three years older than her, but already the secretary to the Vice President of Rhine Group.Definitely not any commoner she could easily afford to offend.So she brushed her blouse and straightened her posture, trying to appear more professional.Then, she forced a polite smile and said, “I’m here to discuss a signed proposal.” “You? To discuss a signed proposal? With Liam?” Melanie gave Ava a once-over, eyes full of disdain at her half unbuttoned blouse.“Aren’t you Liam’s mistress?”As the eldest daughter of the Sullivan family’s third branch, Ava had never felt so humiliated before.Melanie’s words were like a sharp slap on her face, which flushed as red as the butt of a monkey.She stood up, ready to curse
