Henley gulped upon hearing that. He glanced at his scarce supporters.He had planned this for so many years for this day to come. How could he give up right now?"I won't," said Henley."Alright, let's begin."The shareholders' meeting started. Jacqueline wasn't in the state of mind to think about Olivia's matter.Now that she had bet her everything in the game, she couldn't lose!There had been a huge change in the distribution of shares lately, so everyone wasn't confident about their win.All Henley's family took over was the 20% share from Douglas. The assets weren't properly distributed due to his sudden passing.Henley had been raking his brain to prove that David wasn't Douglas' biological son so that David would lose his inheritance right.David clapped his hands to call the lawyer in. The lawyer was holding a sealed document.To Henley's surprise, it contained Douglas' will, including a share transfer contract. The family assets and properties were distributed clearl

Although it was supposed to be their family matter, Jacqueline didn't know why she felt anxious as the clock ticked by. Henley didn't have an inkling of her thought. The sense of defeat was wearing him down.He lost. The meticulous plan he devised failed in the end.To Henley, David only seemed to be wielding his power in front of him like a winner.Emery and Sawyer came to the scene not long after. They were relatively calm as they didn't share the same notion as Henley.Even though they didn't share the same mother, David was still their half-brother! There was no reason for them to go against David."David, are you alright?" said Emery."I'm glad you're alright, David," Sawyer greeted.After small talk, they finally noticed Linus, who hadn't left the room. "Isn't he…""This is Mr. Linus Heath. I'll explain to you about him later. I gathered everyone here because of a family matter."Even though the two brothers were curious about the reason for Linus' visit, David was abl

The Fordhams were stunned. How could this be? Douglas favored David so much!"Why didn't Grandpa leave anything for you? How could you agree to this? This has to be fake!"David explained indifferently, "He wanted to, but I rejected. I've been amassing money myself for the past few years. I've never thought of getting anything from the family."He remembered something and took over a signed check. "Oh right, here's one billion dollars. Take it as Dad's shares. Although it's not tantamount to the market share price right now, it's a few times the fold of the 200 thousand dollars he first invested. "Take it as a token of appreciation for looking after my family."The check served as a reality check to Henley.Emery and Sawyer quickly rejected it."David, we can't take this money. We know that you've been the one supporting the family. If Dad were still alive, he wouldn't want it.""He's right. You're Mom's son, which means you also have the right to inherit part of the assets.

"To be exact, it's one of the Fordham family's secret business."That statement alone was enough for Graham to understand everything.He thought his smooth sailing career in showbiz was owed to his capability, thinking that his encounter with an excellent manager wasn't just pure luck.The first drama he starred in was of top quality as well.How could there be so many coincidences? Someone was there to help behind the scenes."It was you." Graham didn't expect that his father wasn't the one protecting him this entire time. Instead, it was the uncle he looked down on.Graham shut his eyes. "So you're the actual owner of Star Records Entertainment. I didn't know that.""As a veteran, you know the rules in showbiz. So, you're the most dependable person I can entrust Star Records Entertainment to. Your grandfather and I talked about it too."Graham tightly clenched the hem of his shirt as his emotions churned in him. He didn't know how to express his feelings at the moment. Simi

"David, no matter what happens, you'll always be our brother. Nothing can change this.""I know our sister-in-law is in trouble. If you need anything, just tell us."David waved his hand. "I appreciate it. You may take your leave first. I have something personal to take care of."Emery and Sawyer glimpsed at Linus before leaving.Henley's family didn't budge at all. Shock riveted them at the spot."You guys should leave too."Henley had mixed feelings about this. He seemed to have lost the battle as he couldn't gain ownership of David's company.But he became the head of the family instead!Even though he won, he didn't feel happy in the slightest.Things shouldn't have turned out this way.He didn't want any of this to happen!Driving David's family out of the family had always been his wish. He spent his whole life trying to achieve it. In the end, his attacks turned out to be nothing. "David, don't expect me to be grateful for you! I…"He didn't intend to say that, b

Jacqueline was slightly surprised as she thought that she had hidden the truth well.But Olivia had long known of the truth, including Jacqueline's face.Olivia tossed a stack of documents about Jacqueline's plastic surgery records. "You're a dedicated one, aren't you? You underwent so many plastic surgeries since you were young until your face finally looks like mine. "But the fake can never be real. No matter how many times you fix your face, you can never be the real me. The same goes for your identity. Regardless of how hard you work for it, it's fake.""Since when did you find out?""I don't mind telling you this. If it weren't for the chaos in the Fordham family and the revelation that Dad's not Mr. Douglas' biological son, I would never have known. You almost deceived me."Jacqueline, have you never regretted the things you did to them?" Olivia slowly marched toward Jacqueline, getting closer and closer. "You tried to kill me again and again. And you killed my closest peo

Jacqueline thought that she had enough reasons to justify her decisions. She was even crying. "I'm not like you. I wasn't born to be a loved princess. Women from rural areas like me have to work our asses off unless we want to live in hell."Many of them were sold off to single old men by their parents before they turned adults. They became a tool to give birth to babies. Deborah gave me a new life, and I followed her orders. That was the only way for me to survive! "On the other hand, you guys were born to be the winners in life. You don't have to lift a finger to own everything. But me? What can I do?"Olivia growled, "You're still making excuses to clean your name. So calculative and pretentious despite your young age. How ridiculous. The family you're born into shouldn't be the reason to justify your actions. You can't gloss over all the things you did to me in the past!"Two years ago, Olivia found out why she was at the last stage of cancer at such a young age. Cancer cell

The Fordhams surrounded Jacqueline like menacing tigers. The briddling resentment in them was screaming to kill her.David took a deep breath, suppressing the murderous intent in him. "Jacqueline, I want you to tell us Toxic Hive's hiding spot and what Deborah has done all these years. I want you to lure her out too."That was the only reason they let her live.Jacqueline sneered. "You tried so hard to take away all my savings. I have nothing now, so what's the point of telling you that? It's just a matter of time before I die."She was trying to guess what they plotting. "I do have all the documents and data from Toxic Hive. I'd rather kill myself than give everything up to you… unless you agree to let me off the hook."A clever person would always fight for a way to survive during hardships.Like a tree on a cliff, she was determined to grow higher and higher no matter how bad the environment was.It was unfortunate that she stooped so low just for her benefit. She forsook m
