-The next day-

As Sadie stepped out of her room, her eyes met Kaylie's, who was emerging from the kitchen. Sadie rushed over, grasping Kaylie's arms. “Good morning, dear,” she exclaimed, her face radiant with a warm smile. “You left the event yesterday informing no one, and we got back late last night, so I couldn’t speak with you. How was your night?”

Kaylie nodded sympathetically. “I was still awake when you got back, ma, but couldn’t come out because Gage was still wide awake,” she explained. “He's still upset that I took Bryson’s side at the event yesterday, so I was doing my best to apologize and make amends.”

“I completely understand your approach, and I must say, I’m impressed,” Sadie praised. “You're navigating this situation skillfully, knowing exactly when to take a step back. If you had openly supported Gage yesterday, the chairman would likely have turned on Bryson,”

Sadie leaned in, her voice barely above a whisper. “He might even reconsider transferring Gage's share to Br

    “Ta-da, I'm ready!” Kaylie announced, striking a pose with her arms stretched out to the sides and a bright smile.Gage turned around, and his eyes widened in awe as he took in her transformed appearance. “This is... wow,” he stuttered, struggling to find the words to express his admiration.Kaylie had already dressed up, but Gage had asked her to change into something else because the original dress had been a gift from Bryson, and Gage wanted her to wear the one he had given her instead.“You like this?” She asked, still smiling.Gage slowly shook her head. “No…” he gave a simple response. A smile appeared on his face and he raised his voice, confessing, “I love it!”He swiftly steered to her front, gently taking her hand and turning her around to look at her backside as well. He gazed into her eyes, his face radiant with admiration. “You look stunning,” he complimented, his voice filled with sincerity. “We should get more dresses in this style. It suits you perfectly.”“Thank you.”

    Kaylie slowly opened her eyes, lifting her head from the bed. She turned her head, catching Gage staring at her with a subtle smile. “What are you staring at?” she mumbled, her brow furrowed in a mixture of sleepiness and curiosity. She brushed her hand over her face, yawning, and crawled backward, resting her back against the bed header, her eyes never leaving Gage’s gentle smile.“Gage,” she whispered his name, but despite his gaze on her, he didn't respond, and his expression was unreadable. Her face scrunched up in concern as she observed him for a few seconds, wondering what was going through his mind. When he still didn't react, she raised her voice slightly, calling out to him again. “Gage.”Gage flinched. “Hun!” A tone fled his mouth. His eyes broadened, shocked. He was miles away, lost in thought, and her raised voice caught him unaware, leaving him stunned.She paused for a moment, allowing him to compose himself, before asking, “What are you thinking?”He stared downward a

    Kaylie trudged into the room. As she reached the bed, she fell her bottom onto it with a soft sigh. “Oh, my,” she muttered. “Listening to that woman drone on about what I’m not doing is exhausting,”Her gaze drifted to Gage, who had only looked up from his phone when she entered. She shook her head, frustration etching on her face. “My mind was racing with anger. It’s a waste of my time.”Gage dimmed his phone screen and shrugged his left shoulder, his expression empathetic. “Sorry you had to go through that,” he said, his voice infused with understanding. A warm smile crept onto his lips as he tried to reassure her. “Don’t worry, it’ll all be over soon. It’s just a matter of time, right?”She nodded, her voice barely above a whisper. “Yes.” She lifted her left hand, revealing a small pill vial. “Here.”His brow furrowed in curiosity. "What's that?" he asked.“Something Sadie gave me,” she replied flatly. “A sleeping pill she wants me to feed you tomorrow morning so you’ll be out unti

    Kaylie emerged from her room, bleary-eyed from the early hour, and greeted Sadie with a warm “Good morning, ma.” Her smile faltered for a moment as she took in Sadie's polished appearance. Already dressed to impress, Sadie sparkled with elegance, the necklace and diamond bracelet she reserved for special occasions gleaming on her neck and wrist.As she arrived at the parlor, she painted a bright smile on her face. “You’re up early,” she remarked, her tone laced with surprise. “Where are you going early this morning?”Sadie’s gaze met Kaylie’s, her brow furrowed in confusion. “You’ve forgotten already?” “Of course not,” Kaylie's response was swift. “You think I’d forget something so significant? Today marks a long-overdue reckoning for Bryson.”Sadie let out a gentle sigh, her left hand resting over her heart. “I thought as much,” she said, her voice soft. “Your question seemed... uncertain.”“Okay, but you're all dressed up,” Kaylie observed, feigning curiosity. “Are you expecting so

    The conference room door swung open, and Sadie entered with Bryson trailing closely behind, both smiling brightly. As they approached the central table, fifteen of the seventeen directors in attendance promptly rose to their feet, offering respectful bows.“Good morning, ma’am.” The directors greeted, their faces lit up with welcoming smiles. Sadie halted, darting her gaze between those at her right and the left, beaming, excited, “good morning, amazing directors,” she responded. “The pillars of this Heritage Holdings,” She smiled warmly and curtsied slightly. “I extend my sincerest appreciation for your consistent support. Your commitment has been instrumental in achieving this milestone, and I’m delighted to be here today to express my gratitude,”“Please know that I value your contributions immensely and pledge that my son will uphold the trust you’ve placed in him. We’re eternally grateful and look forward to opportunities to return your favor,”The directors were the ones who h

    Chairman Paul shifted uncomfortably in his seat, avoiding direct eye contact with Director Rachel as much as possible. He gently cleared his throat and began. “Good morning,”He paused, expecting a remark from Director Rachel. However, she said nothing, and the silence hung for a moment before Chairman Paul proceeded. “Welcome, everyone. Are we ready to start?”“Yes, sir.” A collective response echoed through the room, with Johnson’s booming voice dominating the response. Rachel and Mason remained silent, their voices noticeably absent from the affirmation.Rachel chuckled softly. “Why wouldn’t they be ready?” She whispered. “The purpose of today’s meeting is hardly ambiguous…” As all eyes turned to her, she trailed off, and the chairman took over.“Is there anyone who wants to share an update on your business operations? Are there any issues, suggestions, or inquiries that we should consider before moving forward with the agenda?” He asked, his eyes scanned the room, lingering on mos

    Gage’s voice was firm with an edge of warning. “I’m back to stake my claim, to secure what's mine, and to correct the mistake of attempting to give it to someone else.”Chairman Paul let out a deep sigh. “If you’re here for the meeting, take a seat so we can proceed.”Gage looked back, and Richard promptly pushed his wheelchair around to the opposite side of the table, positioning him next to Rachel.Rachel turned to the director beside her. “Could you please move your seat?" She requested, and knowing the question that would come next, she immediately added. “Gage’s shares have surpassed ten percent, so he's entitled to sit at the chairman's right side.”The room fell silent as everyone's eyes widened in shock, including the chairman. “When did this happen?” The chairman asked, his curiosity getting the better of him. “How is that possible?”Rachel let out a sigh and explained, “since Mason and I contributed some of our shares to him,” she spoke with confidence, her chin slightly rai

    Chairman Paul cut in, his tone firm but controlled, “I think we’re getting off track. Let’s focus on the matter at hand, shall we?” He avoided eye contact, his gaze drifting elsewhere as he steered the conversation back on course.Rachel exhaled softly, her chin tilting upward as she turned her face away from Sadie in a silent rebuke.Chairman Paul turned to Freya. “Please, take a seat,” he instructed and Freya curtsied briefly before making her way to the table to find a seat. The chairman’s attention then shifted to Gage as he asked, “Are you heading back to your office? If so, is it this week or next?”Gage shifted in his seat, his gaze locking onto Chairman Paul’s face. “As everyone is aware, I am still recovering,” he said calmly, his words dripping with deliberate pauses that aimed to test the chairman’s patience. “I’m physically disabled, mentally unstable, emotionally damaged, and socially maladjusted, possibly even psychologically impaired. I-”Chairman Paul cut him off. “I’

    The room exploded into stunned silence, with Sadie’s disbelieving gasp hanging in the air. “What?!” She shot up from her seat, her voice a challenge. Bryson quickly followed, his eyes wide with incredulity. “That can’t be right! It can’t be Kaylie!” He exclaimed, his voice rising in protest.Rachel raised an eyebrow, her expression puzzled. “Why the surprise?” she asked, her arms spreading wide in a questioning gesture. “She’s his wife, after all. Why wouldn't it be possible?”“Kaylie is-” Bryson spoke Kaylie’s name, but his mother's sharp tone cut him off. “Bryson!” Sadie warned, her voice raised. Their eyes met, and she subtly winked, signaling him to hold back his thoughts.A silent understanding passed between Chairman Paul and Bryson as their eyes met. Bryson sat down without uttering a word, and his mother trailed behind him, taking her seat as well.‘This can’t be… Kaylie would never betray me. Not her.’Sadie’s eyes narrowed, her jaw clenched, and she grasped her gown tightl
