Life at the Top

Running red lights as he sped to Hanks Residence, Zayden had yet to catch his breath when he was summoned by Sylva, his father and the head of the Hanks family, to the study.

“I just received notice this afternoon that there were unusual fluctuations with Heavenly Dragon’s stocks. Someone is trying to control the market price. I believe you’ve already fought them?” Sylva stated as he looked at Zayden impassively.

As Zayden’s father, no one knew better than Sylva of his son’s actions.

Embezzling Schuler Group, for example. Without Sylva’s permission, there was no way Zayden would have the guts or the resources to do so.

As well as when Zayden did not hand over the 600 million he had taken from Schuler Group and invested it into Heavenly Dragon instead. It was something Sylva had allowed.

Yet evidently, the current turn of events had exceeded the expectations of the father-son duo.

Taking a big gulp from the cup a servant had brought in, Zayden then relayed the entire situation to his father with an embarrassed look on his face.

Sylva remained quiet as he listened and did not comment on anything at all.

“Which is to say, your plan has been exposed.” Sylva’s tone was void of emotions.

Zayden knew that this was a premonition to his father’s fury and quickly replied, “The plan’s been smooth-sailing this entire time, Dad. Everyone around me is too loyal to betray me. I can’t think of how that b*stard Schuler could’ve gotten wind of it.”

“You were set for failure the moment you saw Dawson as a fool who would be easily trampled on!” Sylva chided.

“Dawson and I are from the same generation. If he could’ve gotten to where he is today even under your grandfather’s control, then what makes you think you can hold power over him when the Hanks family has failed to? Did you think that your plan was flawless? Do you have any idea how many times I’ve had to clean up after you?”

Zayden’s expression grew despondent as Sylva continued to berate him.
