Chairman Grey's Legitimate Daughter CHAPTER 41: The Chairman's command
NARRATIVE Several minutes later, Imogen slowly stood up from the floor, slightly out of her dazed state. She stared at her sleeping mother for a while and wiped the tears rolling down her cheeks. "Mom, I can't bear to see you in such a state. I must find out what's going on and if it has to do with Scarlett, I wouldn't mind doing whatever it takes to drive her away from here. I can't let you continue like this." She slowly muttered. Not long afterwards, Imogen walked to the door and opened it. The moment she was outside, she stared briefly at the spare key in her hand before she proceeded to lock the room door with it. Her mother wouldn't find out yet, that she was in her room. As she walked wobbly down the stairs while supporting herself with a hand on the banister, she suddenly paused. The melodious unfamiliar tune coming from the direction of the music room made her realize someone was there. "Ashton's at it again." She sighed and attempted to walk off when a thought poppe
Chairman Grey's Legitimate Daughter CHAPTER 42: Don't let me pay for the sins of my mother
ASHTON'S POV "Logan mentioned that he already met your elder sister and she's damn pretty. When are you gonna introduce us too?" Dexter said with a chuckle as he moved to the side of the snooker table and kicked a small white ball with his cue stick. It collided with several others and straight way entered a hole. "Your turn." He grinned at me, leaning his cue on his shoulder. "You have no idea how pretty she is." I smiled and positioned to play. Glancing up at him from my bent position, I added. "You boys keep your eyes off my sister." Now returning my gaze to a ball and focusing my cue on it as I kicked it and just like Dexter's, it collided against others and rolled straight into a hole. "Ay! Look at that!" I heard Rhys said from behind us, clicking his tongue afterwards. "Logan you're right. Ash has become really protective more than ever before." He added and they laughed. "But seriously Ash, your sister's really gorgeous_just like a dazzling fairy. You'd be having a
Chairman Grey's Legitimate Daughter CHAPTER 43: Her father's apology
JAMIE'S POV Staring at my daughter as she cried bitterly before me, I knew greatly how much I've messed things up. She's my daughter too. I should have treated her differently. However, because she acts exactly in the manner Harriet does, it's almost impossible to think she could be different. "Imogen, I'm sorry." I said slowly and she stared through her tears at me. "I know you're different. Although, I can't tell you the reason I and your Mom are like this. What she did has long bore a deep hole in my heart even before you and Ashton were born. But notwithstanding, I shouldn't treat you that way. You're right, you're Imogen my precious daughter. You're NOT your mother. I really hope you can forgive me." "Dad..." Imogen sobbed.IMOGEN’S POV I can’t believe the way I’m feeling at this moment. Initially, I’ve always envisioned the moment Dad would one day apologize to me for all the previous mistreatments he’s shown towards me. And finally, that moment’s here. Earlier
Chairman Grey's Legitimate Daughter 44. The chairman's desire
NARRATIVE Jamie Grey cleared his throat once more and continued. "What I'm about to say may not be so pleasant to you but..." "Is this about Scarlett?" Imogen interrupted, narrowing her eyes at her father. His gaze softened as he watched her closely, seeing a brief flash of fury in her eyes. He was yet to give a response when she slowly nodded. "I'd rather not hear it then," Jamie Grey watched helplessly as she grabbed her purse bag and stood up to leave but-- "Sit down, Imogen." Ashton's voice was low yet commanding and Imogen reluctantly obliged. "I'm sure this is important to us as it is to Father," he added softly, now looking up at the chairman. "Father, can we get on with it?" "Thank you," Jamie Grey offered his son a small smile. And without much words this time, he dropped the bombshell. "I want all my children working at JP's Enterprise with me." He said, his words earning Imogen's famous deep frown but he continued anyway. "Imogen," I want you to be committed a
Chairman Grey's Legitimate Daughter Chapter 45: Harriet's health
SCARLETT'S POV "Strategic alliance?" I repeated, leaning forward on the couch while raising curious brows at Freya. "Yes, Scarlett." She crossed her legs on the couch and leaned backwards comfortably. "And it's important you have an idea of what this is about before..." "Yeah, I do understand what the term means. But..." "Then that's okay." She smiled. "Really?" "Yes. Like I said before, it's important you have an idea on this topic now, mostly because, JP's Enterprise might be having a strategic alliance with Song and Kwan group soon." She announced and the information easily sank in. This explains it. This explains why KK came to the company himself some time back. "That's some good news," I smiled. "Yes my dear. However there are conditions to be met before Song and Kwan would be willing to partner with JP'S Enterprise." Madame Freya continued and I was curious immediately. "What conditions?" I asked and she took a sip from her tea. "Well, it has to do with
Chairman Grey's Legitimate Daughter CHAPTER 46: New appointments
SCARLETT'S POV "I must say your confidence amazes me, Mr. Bryant," I said as I took a seat opposite him. "And I must say it is an honor that I am able to amaze a woman as amazing as you are, Ms. Grey," He retorted flirtatiously, a corner of his lips curving upwards in a smirk. What a confident flirt he is... "Palo, right?" His brow shot upward and a mysterious glint came in his eyes at my use of his first name. And then he smirked again. "Yes, Scarlett. I really find you very interesting. Do you want to know why?" He returned his teacup to the table ever so elegantly and crossed his long legs, fixing those dangerous eyes at me. My mouth parted open to say something but dad suddenly cleared his throat. "I am glad you both are getting along quite well already, that saves me the stress of introducing you two." He said with a small smile. "Couldn't agree more, Mr. Grey." Palo said. "Alright then, I'd leave you two to do some catching up." "Tha
Chairman Grey's Legitimate Daughter CHAPTER 47: It's a surprise
SKYLAR'S POV "Aunt Aimee, I arrived Birmingham City some minutes ago." I gleefully announced over the phone to Scarlett's foster Mom, Aimee Brooke. I was in a cab, the same cab that picked me up from the airport and currently we were driving through the gates of the vast estate that houses the Grey's family manor. Scarlett had sent me the address a few days ago when we talked and I had told her I was coming soon but she didn't know the specific date. Scarlett told me her father had been very understanding when she had told him she wanted me staying in the manor with her. "Oh, that's amazing dear. Have you arrived home now? Have you met Scarlett yet?" She curiously asked and I shook my head in the negative as though she could see me. "Not yet. Remember she doesn't know I would be coming back today." I grinned at the thought of Scarlett's reaction when she sees me. I've missed my bumblebee so much. "Ah, that's right. You told me it's a surprise. Well, I'm glad I didn't say any
Chairman Grey's Legitimate Daughter CHAPTER 48: Tensed moments
SCARLETT'S POV I had just finished showing Palo Bryant around the various departments of the company except one _ the sales management department, Imogen is the head of this department. At the moment, Palo and I are proceeding there after just leaving the operations management department. The introduction was easy and surprisingly fun, the staffs all seem to like him so far as it was obvious from their smiles and welcoming aura. Most of the time, I caught Palo's eyes on me but whenever our gaze locked, he didn't look elsewhere instead he would flash me his beautiful smile that seemed to always gets me enthralled. In the end, I was the one looking away and avoiding his eyes _ I have been doing much of that for a while now and I am certain his smartass must have noticed. We arrived the sales management general office and I was about to walk towards the entrance when Palo caught me by the wrist, leaned closer to me and whispered beside my ear words that made blood instant

Chairman Grey's Legitimate Daughter Epilogue
In a duplex in a less packed area of the city, a brunette haired woman, sent a deadly glare across a scarred face man, kneeling before her. "I failed, boss. I apologize." He said and the woman raised her hand and slapped him hard across the cheek. Then she began pacing up and down the room. "Lie low for now. I would deal with this mess you have created, myself." She instructed. ___ Scarlett stared at the doctor in charge of Skylar's treatment with her face as pale as sheet. "Sorry. What did you just say?" She slowly asked, disbelief in her eyes. "We're sorry to let you know that we tried out best but..." The doctor paused, swallowing nervously as he avoided Scarlett's eyes. "...we couldn't save the child in her womb." He announced in one breath. Scarlett's knees suddenly became weak as she collapsed in to the seat. The doctor hurried on to add, "Also, she's still unconscious." Skylar was pregnant? Scarlett couldn't believe her ears. How? When? And now she
Chairman Grey's Legitimate Daughter CHAPTER 61: A powerful blow
NARRATIVE A dramatic event had happened in JP's Enterprise the following day and Harriet hadn't seen it coming.Perhaps, the tides hadn't risen in her favor afterall. "What do you mean, exposed?" She frowned at the subordinate who had just passed an information to her. She was currently in the study of her secret home in City center. Harriet hurriedly collected the iPad and just at a glance, her eyes read through the bold headline on the screen. *The general secretary of JP's Enterprise, Gordon Paul, arrested and charged for illegal dealings by the prosecution, in the early hours of today. He had been called in for questioning along side some minor shareholders of JP's Enterprise and a few directors as well, that had been involved in this.* Harriet's grip on the iPad tightened and her lips trembled slightly as rage surged through her entire body. "Jamie Grey!!!!!" She screamed, flinging the vase on her desk against the wall. He had just ruined her plans. Sh
Chairman Grey's Legitimate Daughter CHAPTER 60: A wake up call
Later that same night, Imogen had hurriedly informed her mother about the chairman's conversation on phone which she had overheard. Harriet wasn't surprised by this news. She had already been informed by the subordinate she had assigned to spy on the Bryants household. What she found out wasn't necessarily going to help her goals at the moment, as it seems Palo and Scarlett had something going already. "About KK, why do you think your father invited him over to dinner today?" Harriet asked her daughter and Imogen immediately knew the reason. "He seems to approve of Kyle and Scarlett being together," she replied thoughtfully. Harriet took a close look at her beautiful daughter and a thought occured to her. "Imogen, you like KK, don't you?" Imogen couldn't help but blush as she said. "It's quite obvious I do, mother. A lot." Her mother urgently continued. "Then you have to seduce him." Seeing how her daughter became stunned at her words, Harriet added. "We need
Chairman Grey's Legitimate Daughter CHAPTER 59: The chairman's secret
NARRATIVEWeeks passed by. There was remarkable progress in the growth of the company just under one month of Scarlett's leadership. Her relationship and sex life with Palo was going great too. He had even invited her to dinner with his family but she had politely declined. She wasn't sure yet if she should meet them, especially after her father's warning. She was still waiting on him to tell her everything when the time was right, like he had said he would. She had told Skylar about her relationship or situationship with Palo Bryant, and had also informed her foster mom of how Harriet had been keeping tabs on her secretly. Unfortunately, Scarlett and Lexi weren't able to find any trace of anything illegal to Harriet yet. She was seemingly having a clean record. But Scarlett knew it wasn't true. Harriet was cunning so she must have carried out her operations in strategic ways, making sure it led no traces back to her. Scarlett decided she would take things slowly, there m
Chairman Grey's Legitimate Daughter CHAPTER 58: Exposed
NARRATIVE Ashton and his friends were busy in the game room when Skylar brought in cakes for them to snack on. Skylar had made it herself with the assistance of a kitchen staff, of course, and wanted them to try it _ Ashton, mostly. "Enjoy," she whispered to him with a smile and his eyes didn't miss the deliberate wink she gave him and the fast manner she had bitten on her lips before she left. Skylar had made the cake most especially because of him, after learning that he loved eating cakes. And she sincerely hoped he liked it. At the sight of her, Ashton couldn't help lingering his gaze on her behind as she walked off, wishing he could grab those bouncy cheeks and also swat them as much as he needed, right now. If only he wasn't with people, he would have pulled her back in, shut the door after her and do so many dirty things to her that would leave her screaming his name only, around that seductive mouth of hers. But for the sake of their secret relationship,
Chairman Grey's Legitimate Daughter CHAPTER 57: His confession
NARRATIVE It was weekend once again. A Friday specifically. While Ashton and his twin had taken the day off work, Scarlett had gone to the company as she still had a lot to do. She however planned to spend the weekend with Skylar and her foster mom at Aimee Brooke's family farmhouse. Ashton's reason for slacking off was because he was hanging out with his friends at the manor but of course, he secretly wanted to spend more time with Skylar too. Imogen's reason was because she had a hangout with her friends today. Yori had even slept over in the Grey's family manor the previous night. Scarlett was in her office working through some files in her office. Although she was greatly distracted by the thoughts that clouded her reasoning. Thoughts around the recent happenings with Palo Bryant. Were things supposed to be going in the way they were now? Was she supposed to be involved in an office romance with her COO? She sighed as the thoughts kept coming. Scarlett t
Chairman Grey's Legitimate Daughter CHAPTER 56: Secret sexcapades
ASHTON'S POV "Come with me," I whispered against her lips, lowering her from the kitchen island and she instantly nodded, biting her lips sensually afterwards. Her constant need for me was just as equal to my constant need for her. And now, I don't think I can get by a day in my life without having her. Skylar followed me upstairs into my bedroom, stealthily of course, and I locked the door after us. Ever since the incident at the pool, we've been meeting every other night in secret.We just couldn't get enough of each other, and the more our secret sexual escapades occured, the more we both anticipated the next. "I want to watch you undress, and you need to do it slowly." I whispered and she nodded without disagreement and began doing as I have said. She wasn't even dressed with much to start with. She only had on a thin, transparent silky ash colored nightwear. And obviously, she had nothing under. The sight of her smooth, exposed laps made my mouth watered. Jus
Chairman Grey's Legitimate Daughter CHAPTER 55: His woman
SCARLETT'S POV The week after I became CEO of JP's Enterprise was a hectic one for me. I had never been that busy all my life but I knew it was worth it all. Of course, my Dad, my foster mom, Madame Freya, Lexi and others were there to assist me too and I was grateful for that. This was the life I was destined to live. And although I didn't start living such life on time, it didn't matter now as I could still survive in it. It would take a while but I was bound to adjust to the system soon. Some days ago, I had meetings with the COO, vice CEO and the team leaders of each department in the company. The agenda of these meetings had been to know how we could move the company even more further in the business world. And of course, I had listened to the suggestions of everyone and had taken note of the most excellent points. Presently, I was having a chat over coffee with Chairman Kwan of Song and Kwan group, the famous KK, in one of the outdoor terrace of JP's Enterprise.
Chairman Grey's Legitimate Daughter CHAPTER 54: Her Perfect moment
NARRATIVE In an exquisite villa in Erdington, a group of people sat around a large dining table, discussing over dinner. This villa was Chairman Grey's private residence and he usually used it to host private meetings such as this. The group of six comprised of the chairman himself and five others; Scarlett Grey _ his daughter, Aimee Brooke _ her foster mom, Finley _ his PA, Madame Freya _ a trusted top shareholder and close friend to his late wife and lastly, Lexi _ Scarlett's personal assistant and undercover hacker whom he had assigned to her. "Now that Scarlett has been successfully appointed CEO of JP's Enterprise, I think we can now move on to the next step." Aimee Brooke said, and the others nodded in approval. She flew in earlier in the day, hours after Scarlett was voted in as CEO. And Scarlett had been more than grateful to see her mom again. Even though Aimee was just her foster mom now, Scarlett knew she would never consider her anything less than her moth
