Just then, Grandma Sullivan’s phone rang.Irritated, she snatched it up and hit speaker. “Mother, it’s bad!” a fantic voice burst out—it was XXX Sullivan, her second son.“All our pharmacy suppliers are suddenly pulling out!”Grandma Sullivan’s expression changed almost immediately.“What? Terminating our contracts? Why? We’ve been working with them for years!”There was a long pause.“Because of Rhine’s announcement, I think,” XXX whispered. “Word is, Rhine Corporation’s blacklisted us. They’ve warned everyone—anyone who works with us will lose their deals with Rhine ...”What the fuck?!Grandma Sullivan’s hand went limp.The phone slipped from her grasp and hit the floor with a clatter.The room plunged into a stunned silence.The tension was suffocating.Grandma Sullivan swayed slightly, as if the floor had shifted beneath her.Her face twisted between fury and panic.The voice on the phone kept rambling, but she barely heard it. And then—With a furious scream, she spun toward

Here it comes—she’s finally letting the mask slip. Logan thought grimly, a cold mocking smile curling at the corner of his lips.Grandma Sullivan offered a tight, polished smile. “Let your cousin Ava take care of the day-to-day operations,” she said smoothly. “You’d still be the rightful CEO in name, of course—but Ava can handle the burden for now. You’ll just need to sign a few documents to make it official. That way, the company runs smoothly, and the family stays united. How does that sound?”Looking startled, Charlotte’s mouth parted in confusion.But before she could speak, Logan, who had been watching in silence, gently reached out and stopped her.Remember his earlier words, Charlotte bit back her reply and stayed quiet.Seeing her hesitation, Grandma Sullivan’s face immediately darkened.Her eyes narrowed as she threw Logan a sharp, withering glare.But Logan wasn’t fazed.He saw right through her performance.This wasn’t concern—it was control wrapped in sentiment.She was

Charlotte watched Logan stand up and walk away, a warm feeling swelling in her chest.Logan opened the door. As expected, standing there in cold authority was Grandma Sullivan, flanked by none other than Harry, Ava’s father, whose narrowed eyes gleamed with disdain the moment they met Logan’s. The air between them thickened instantly.Grandma Sullivan didn’t wait for pleasantries.Instead, the fake smile on Grandma Sullivan’s face vanished the moment she saw Logan. “You disrespectful brat!” she snapped, her hand flying toward Logan’s face. “What the hell took you so long to answer the door? Were you racing a snail or what?!”But Logan’s hand shot up, grabbing her wrist mid-air.The moment Grandma Sullivan saw Logan clutch her hand, her eyes blazed. “How dare you!” she snapped, struggling to yank her hand free to deliver another slap.But no matter how hard she pulled, she couldn’t break loose.Seeing this, Harry’s face turned crimson with fury.The audacity. The nerve!How dare L

Meanwhile, in Charlotte’s Room.Charlotte sat on the bed, her head resting on Logan’s shoulder. Her eyes were still red from earlier tears.“They said I was incapable, said I had no business sense…” she whispered. “... and took everything away from me. All my hard work gone.”Logan gently stroked her hair and quietly consoled her.His voice was gentle but firm. “You’re the only one in that family who has any sense. Everything that rightfully belongs to you,” he said, “will come back—sooner or later.”“I promise.”Just then, Charlotte’s phone buzzed. It was Harry Sullivan.Charlotte frowned. Logan took the phone from her hand and answered it on speaker.“Charlotte,” Harry’s voice came through, overly polite, syrupy with fake warmth, “listen, I know things were tense. But we need you now. Can you meet me at the old mansion later?"“We realized that you’ve done a really good job,” he showered Sophia with compliments, before claiming his true purpose, “and we hope you can return to he

CHAPTER 26Meanwhile, back in the grand hall of the Sullivan family’s old residence. Grandma Sullivan sat comfortably on her mahogany chair with a rigid posture, sipping a cup of warm coffee, while, Harry’s wife dutifully massaged her legs.Suddenly, her personal phone vibrated on the table. She frowned and signaled Harry’s wife, who quickly picked it up and handed it to her.“Hello?” Grandma Sullivan answered with her usual calm.“Hello, is this Mrs. Sullivan, Harry Sullivan’s emergency contact?” A man’s cold, impatient voice came through. “This is Rowley, the branch manager at First Crest Bank.”A ripple of unease passed through Grandma Sullivan.“Yes, I’m his mother. Is something wrong?” The bank manager’s tone turned icy as he continued.“We’re calling to inform you that your son, Harry Sullivan, and his family has defaulted on their 10 million loan.” “If the repayment is not made within 48 hours, we will initiate asset seizure procedures and declare the branch bankrupt.”“

Shrugging casually, Logan didn’t respond.Some people just won’t listen until they crash and burn.Fine—let them learn the hard way, then.Rhine Corporation anwered to him now.And he wouldn’t mind teaching Harry and the old lady an unforgettable lesson.On the way home, the car was silent.A heavy tension hung in the air.Charlotte sat quietly and frozen, her fists clenched and her eyes red and swollen. Her face burned not just from embarrassment, but from deep betrayal. Her father, John, had tried to resist, but ultimately folded like paper under pressure. “Seriously, John, are you even a man?”Barbara snapped from the co-driver seat, complaining.“Why didn’t you stand up to them? How could you just let them walk all over us?” John let out a long sigh.He didn’t want to argue, so after a few half-hearted protests, he tried to play it down. “Well... it’s not like we lost anything, right? Maybe it’s for the best… at least we actually got something out of it, didn’t we?”Charlotte
