The heir they threw away CHAPTER TEN
She arrived on Thursday at one fifty-eight, with an air of certainty and confidence that made Ethan like her even before she sat down.Reyna Voss was thirty-one years old and had been running the Voss Industrial Group's strategic partnerships division for three years under her father, who was sixty-four. She walked into the thirty-first floor conference room in a dark coat she did not remove and sat down across from Ethan with a folder and a legal pad.She was not what he had expected, though he was not certain what he had expected. The Voss name carried a weight in this city's corporate world that generated a particular image, the sleek, produced confidence of generational wealth, and Reyna had that confidence but it sat differently on her, like something she had earned rather than inherited."The Harmon Group's green energy pipeline," she said, without preamble, opening her folder. "Current capacity, sixty percent, projected to reach eighty within six months per the supplier documen

The heir they threw away CHAPTER NINE
Jordan Marsh sat in the back of his car on the morning after the reception and did something he almost never did: he let himself be still.He took a deep breath and tried to make his mind go numb for a few minutes before plotting his next move.The facts, assembled cleanly in his head: Ethan Cole was the heir to the Harmon Group, a detail that had been hidden from Jordan's research for two years by the combined effect of Ethan's deliberate anonymity and the Harmon Group's extraordinary discretion around its own succession question. That gap in his intelligence was the single most expensive mistake Jordan had made in his professional life, because every move he had made in the last four months had been predicated on the assumption that Harmon Group that did not have a sitting heir ready to return.He had used Simone Cole to get close to a company whose heir he had not known existed. He had taken the Calloway contract to build infrastructure leverage he now did not need in the way he h

The heir they threw away CHAPTER EIGHT
Arden Walsh was the kind of man who had decided at some point in his career that directness was a personality that would get him to the top of the food chain. By the time Ethan sat across from him in the thirty-first floor conference room at eleven that morning, Walsh believed he was being frank when he was actually being exactly as calculated as everyone else in the building, but was just louder about it."I'll be straight with you," Walsh said, settling into his chair with the comfortably, feeling like he had the upper hand here. "I voted against the succession confirmation last night. I want you to know that.""I know," Ethan said flatly. "You were the second one, no?"Walsh blinked for a moment, then cleared his throat and adjusted his tie."Your grandmother was a brilliant woman who ran this company for fifty years, but she was also a woman who had spent so long building something that she became afraid to let it move fast, and the green energy pipeline is the single most valuabl

The heir they threw away CHAPTER SEVEN
The evening couldn't have gone any better, but Ethan knew that the real show was actually yet to begin.He had the Harmon Group's last four annual reports open on his laptop by two in the morning, cross-referenced against the public filings of every company that had submitted a partnership inquiry in the past eighteen months. What he found when he laid them side by side was a pattern so deliberate and so patient that he had to sit back and look at the ceiling for a moment just to absorb the scale of it.Jordan Marsh had not been chasing the Calloway contract because he needed twelve million dollars. JHe did it because winning it would have positioned Marsh Capital as the dominant player in the city's mid-tier infrastructure space. That was precisely the space that fed supplier contracts into the Harmon Group's green energy pipeline, and a dominant position there would have given him the leverage to walk into tonight's reception not as a supplicant but as a necessary partner.He had n
