The sudden change in senior management, particularly Peter's ousting, left the company in disarray. After all, Peter was essentially the backbone of Lennon Group.Since the storm nearly seven or eight years ago, Lennon Group had not faced such turmoil.Peter's entry had brought in a wealth of fresh talent, all of whom were closely tied to him. Now, with Peter abruptly sidelined, those who remained felt uneasy. Many even resigned outright while others stayed but lost interest in their work.Lennon Group plunged into turmoil. Even with Jack's competence, he could not control the employees loyal to Peter. To make matters worse, several companies paused their collaborations with Lennon Group, seeking a formal explanation amidst the chaos.This created a deepening sense of unrest within the company. Though Jack had anticipated some difficulties, he found himself unprepared for the scale of this challenge.Jamie, who previously worked on smaller projects, had never witnessed such a majo

"Zara," Jennifer greeted with a smile, glancing inside. "Where's my brother?""You have bad timing, Ms. Jennifer. Mr. Peter just left," Zara replied."Left? Where did he go?" Jennifer's face showed disappointment. "I thought he'd be home since he's no longer working at Lennon Group.""Please come in and sit," Zara offered."No, since he's not here, I'll just go.""Wait, Ms. Jennifer!" Zara called out. "Mr. Peter went to see Ms. Tania and Brandon.""Tania?" Jennifer hesitated, recalling the scene at the Lennon residence when Tania stood up to Xylos. She sighed softly. "Do you know where they are?""They're at the hospital. Ms. Tania's mother is sick, and Mr. Peter had me prepare some soup to bring over. If you need to see him urgently, he'll surely be there."…Peter went straight to the hospital, where Tania and Brandon were keeping Nancy company with Henry nearby.Standing outside, Peter watched them with a look of relief crossing his face.Brandon, with his sharp eyes, not

Henry scoffed coldly, "Anyone can talk a good game. I want to see what you do.""Yes, I'll prove to you that I'm the best choice for Tania," Peter replied calmly, handing a bowl of soup to Henry. "Both of you should try this."Henry finally nodded in satisfaction.…Meanwhile, Lennon Group's share price plummeted sharply due to Peter's departure, as if someone had anticipated it.Within days, shares were scooped up in large quantities by a company from Cascade City, which even managed to acquire shares from some of the more casual shareholders.Back at the Lennon residence, a storm was brewing. Xylos, poring over the recent reports from Lennon Group, was trembling with anger. "Investigate! Find out what this company is and how it's operating in Brookville without me knowing.""Great-Grandpa, it's not a company from Brookville," Jamie clarified."Where are they based?""Cascade City!"Xylos was shocked. "Cascade City? Are you saying this company is based there?" He could not b

At the hospital, Peter glanced at Sean, who was busy working in his office. "When are you planning to stop?""You think I don't want to?" Sean shot him a look. "You may be free as a bird now, but I've still got work to do, and I'm dedicated to it."Peter scoffed, tapping his long fingers on the desk. "Dedicated? If you're a model employee, all other employees must've vanished.""Hey!" Sean could not take the insult. "Don't question my work ethic."He tossed his pen down and looked at Peter with a serious expression. "If you've got something to say, spit it out. I'm busy. I have no time to babysit you.""Fine. Has Brandon's test report come out?""Damn!" Sean's eyes widened as he suddenly remembered. "I almost forgot about that! Here it is."Sean quickly handed over the report, and Peter's brows knitted together. He fixed Sean with a hard look that made Sean shiver. "Hey, it's not my fault. I've been tied up with a bunch of tough surgeries lately. Plus, I've been running tests

"Keep buying up Lennon Group's shares. Let's see when they hit rock bottom!""Understood!"Steven squinted. "Anything else?""Mr. Lennon said I should stick with you for now. He mentioned you'll be handling my work arrangements moving forward, Mr. Fischer."Steven nodded, "Alright. For now, stay here in Cascade City. With you here, I feel confident things are covered.""What?" Lareal shot up, startled. "Mr. Fischer, you…""I have business in Brookville. For anything here in Cascade City, work directly with Eloise. Only when both of you can't solve it should you reach out to me."Steven grabbed his coat, made a quick call to Eloise, and instructed, "Stay in Cascade City to support Lareal. And without my permission, don't go looking for the Naylors.""I understand."Lareal gaped as he watched Steven leave. He wore a defeated expression as Steven disappeared from view.…Steven arrived in Brookville at 3:00 pm along with Marvin Powell. They headed directly to Sean's private hos

Tania’s situation had everyone on edge. Peter was panicking, and so was Charles, who was worried sick about Tania and Brandon's health. To top it off, Nancy's condition was worsening by the day. She was supposed to get a bone marrow transplant from Tania, but since Tania was unwell, they had to rethink their plans. It was a real mess for Charles to deal with.Late at night, while everybody was sleeping, Charles was still up, giving orders to Ronald and the Kerlsberg crew. Noelle’s heart ached with worry as she watched Charles burn the candle at both ends.Charles had barely touched his dinner that night, so Noelle made some noodles and took them upstairs. She lingered outside his study, listening to him rattle off instructions on the phone. She burst through the door with her brow furrowed with concern, stopping him mid-sentence. "What's wrong?" He wrapped up the call with Ronald and hung up, his lips pressed together. "You heard all that?"Noelle nodded, her face etched with worry.

"I get it!" Noelle could not imagine breaking the news to Tania, Uncle Henry, or Aunt Nancy. It would just crush them. "How could this disaster strike after waiting for Tania to return for so long, just as she and Peter are about to reunite? Who's behind this mess? Charles, who have you and Peter pissed off?""I'm just as clueless!" Charles said with a hint of frustration. "If I had any idea, we wouldn’t have a problem. But there is someone who's looking pretty shady.""But what?""Forget it. Don't worry about it right now. How's the West City project you and Brian are working on for Colossus Group coming along?""We're nearly done with it. I heard from Mr. Parker that you're considering ditching Lennon Group," Noelle said as if a lightbulb had gone off in her head. "Is it because of Peter?""It's because of Tania!" Charles playfully tousled Noelle's hair. "The Lennon family has been on our case, and if I don't step up, they'll start thinking the Hoffmans are pushovers, won't they

Jack stayed silent while Xylos let out a weary sigh. "That boy is just like I was at his age. He will stop at nothing to get what he wants. He's not right for the Lennon family, and he's not right for Lennon Group. Both the company and the family are yours. When I'm gone, you have to look after Ari and Jamie. They're your only family left in this world, after all."Jack's grip on the documents suddenly tightened, a dark glint flashing in his eyes.Outside the door, Jamie clenched his fist tight, his face twisted into a grimace of malice that mirrored Jack's exactly.Xylos was determined that Peter would not return this time. The folks who used to shadow Peter's every move had bailed on Lennon Group to join Nexus Group, the new hotshot company that had skyrocketed to fame in Cascade City in less than three years."Get on it ASAP. I want the lowdown on Nexus Group!" Jack demanded, his eyes glued to the stack of papers before him. He glanced up at the woman standing a short distance a

The distance was not far, but dragging Sean along had drained nearly all of Liliana's strength. She panted, struggling to keep him upright. "Sean, where are we supposed to go now?"The only response she got was a muffled groan. His body temperature seemed to be rising by the second.Liliana, already struggling under his weight, instinctively reached out and touched his face, only to find it scorching hot. Panic gripped her."Sean!"With no other options, she half-carried, half-dragged him toward the parking lot and finally located his car. Summoning every ounce of strength, she managed to haul him inside, planning to let him sleep it off until he sobered up.After securing him in the seat, she grabbed a bottle of water and began wiping his face. Just as she was about to relax, Sean, who had been completely still moments ago, suddenly stirred.He half-opened his eyes, his gaze locking on Liliana's face. Under the dim car light, her features appeared softer, more delicate.Then, o

"No, we can't stay. Let's go separately. I'll walk you to the entrance!"Liliana told Tania that her family had forbidden her from coming to places like this. She hailed a cab and sent Tania off first.She returned alone, but she had no idea which private room Sean was in. She only knew it was somewhere on the third floor, but the exact location was a mystery.As she anxiously searched for him, she spotted one of Sean's friends coming down the stairs with Joanna following closely behind.At the staircase, Joanna stopped to bid farewell. "Thank you, dude… I…""Go on! Good luck!"The man glanced at Joanna before brushing past Liliana and leaving.Liliana watched Joanna's retreating figure, then saw her head back upstairs. She followed her without hesitation.The server must have assumed she was with Joanna because he did not stop her.Liliana saw Joanna enter a private room, where only Sean and Joanna remained. The others were nowhere to be seen.Peering through the gap in the

"Huh? I'm not outside right now!" Liliana quickly covered the phone's mouthpiece. "I mean... I'm at a classmate's house. Is there something you need, Sean?"She asked the question while glancing nervously around. Spotting Tania trying to slip away, she hurried over to grab her."Tania...""Liliana, I still want more to drink!""Where are you?" Sean's voice came through, and another girl's voice was in the background. "Are you guys drinking?""I...""Do you realize you're not old enough to drink? And it's so late now. You should be at home, not out drinking!" Sean sounded serious, and Liliana almost lost her cool. "No, Sean, I...""Where are you? I'm coming to get you!"Liliana quickly shook her head, even though Sean could not see. "There’s no need for that, Sean. I'm just at a friend's house. She's... She's having a birthday party, and I...""Another birthday party? Didn't she just have one?" Sean remembered clearly. "Tell me where you are.""I... Sean, I've got to go. I can

Tania's ruckus drew the attention of several onlookers.Worried about bumping into someone they knew, Liliana quickly ushered Tania away. They had barely made it to the staircase when a melodious voice floated in from behind, "Sean, we owe our fun at The Majestic Lounge to your popularity!""There's no need for that!"Liliana froze, steadying Tania with one hand and leaning on the wall with the other, using Tania's body as a shield. That was when she spotted Sean with an elegant-looking girl in a pale pink dress.They appeared quite close, the girl chatting away and gazing at Sean.Sean was leaning in, listening intently to her words.A few guys were trailing behind them, and upon hearing the girl, they joked, "Hey Joanna, why are you just thanking Sean? What about us?"Liliana's heart raced as Sean and his companions neared. As Sean approached, she quickly grabbed Tania's hand, using it to hide her face.Liliana’s sharp tug gave Tania a twinge of pain. She began to grumble, "L

Liliana got ready. She was excited as she headed out. She had not seen Tania, who looked tanned from the sun and was full of energy, in a month.Tania waved to Liliana from far away. "Liliana, over here!"I'm going to take you to a cool place today!""Where?"Tania pulled Liliana close and whispered, "We're going to a bar!""A bar?" Liliana was curious. "What for?"Tania giggled. "A friend gave me this.” She showed off a shiny gold card. "He said it's time for me to see more of the world!"Liliana grabbed the shiny gold card, and her eyes widened in shock. "The Majestic Lounge?" She stared at Tania, puzzled. "How did you get this?"Not just anyone could get their hands on a gold card from The Majestic Lounge. Most people would not know anything about the place, but as Charles's sister, Liliana was in the know. The Majestic Lounge was one of Charles's private businesses and a secret to most outside the family. Layla had a gold card and often hung out there with her friends.Lil

Charles was unusually quiet for a moment, his finger pressed to his lips as if deep in thought. "Are you really ready to walk away from the Smith family's huge estate? You know your dad is the only one holding it up right now, and no one even knows where your fourth uncle is!""Why are you so worried about me? Don't forget I have a brother. If the Jones family won't make room for him, he can just join the Smith family!"While everyone else was trying to claim their piece of the pie, Sean was looking for a way out.Charles knew that once Sean made up his mind, he would not budge. "Alright, I'll look into it for you. Once you're sure, I'll help you seal the deal!""You take care of it," Sean said after a pause. "Aren't you going to check out the commotion downstairs?"Charles glanced down, pulling back his gaze. "Her feelings for you...""Let's not go there. I can't handle that," Sean interrupted, thinking about Layla's haughty behavior earlier and her rudeness toward Liliana. His

Liliana's brow creased slightly. She could not figure out why Layla always seemed to pick fights with her, even though she tried to stay out of Layla's way.Layla stared at Liliana with a sharp gaze. Noticing Liliana's hands were empty, she knew there was no gift for her. That was why Layla was giving Liliana a hard time.Everyone was watching Liliana, and Layla was eager to see how she would handle the situation."Is today your birthday?"Liliana felt awkward with all eyes on her. She glanced at Sean and saw he was not going to step in. She took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know. You never told me, so I thought your birthday was a few days away!""You..." Layla was taken aback by Liliana's response. She scowled. "Didn't you come back just today before leaving again? I thought you were getting me a birthday present!" Layla bit her lip, looking sad. "You and Sean...""It was just a coincidence. Sean said he needed to talk to Charles, and I didn't realize it was for
