The First Heir

“Madam Johnston, I came here personally. Don’t you think that means I represent the Quaids when I speak? Efficiency is most important these days, and a partnership will be a win-win situation. I’m sure you can read the trends, Mada, Johnston. No one in the entire Riverdale can compete with my family. If I say that Beacon can enter the top ten with us, I mean it. If I say that Beacon can enter the Capital City market, then you can. I hope you understand what I’m getting at, Madam Johnston.”

Arrogantly, Marcus stood up and put his hands in his pockets, walking toward the floor-to-ceiling window. He looked out at the entirety of Riverdale and spoke with utmost certainty.

“Our family has the funds and resources. We’re here today not only to discuss a deal with Beacon, but also with Everlast Glory, Starlight, and United International.”

Marcus turned to look at Wynn, smiling confidently. “Beacon is merely my first stop here. You won’t disappoint me, will you? Madam Johnston?”

Wynn frowned slightly before smiling professionally. “Master Quaid, we would dearly like to cooperate with you. But…”

“But what, Madam Johnston? It’s a big deal for us to cooperate with the Quaids! Are you going to pass on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?”

Blake said desperately.

He just had to use Marcus to take over Beacon now, then he would be able to pull some strings and win over the profits. With that, the Michaels family would make it rich!

“In that case, Master Quaid, why don’t you tell us how you plan to make this deal?”

Wynn knew that this was a rare chance as well.

“Well said! I like making deals with women like you, Madam Johnston. You have the beauty and the brains!”
