65 Eidolon Interactive
The good mood that filled the office was so obvious it was almost physical.
The employees went about their businesses with good cheer, smiling widely and interacting with each other with energy.
There was a constant stream of people in and out of the break room but I didn't mind. They were actually completing their tasks and taking well deserved breaks.
I whistled as I worked, going through the docunts needed to sign off on so improvents. I had the money now to make Sunset Inn the best it can be.
I'd transferred the two hundred million to the company account and I'd never felt happier.
While a little part of my mind was wondering when the other shoe would drop, most of my mind quickly smothered it. This wasn't the ti to be pessimistic.
I signed the docunt, placing it on the side of the table. This was where my experience from my previous life shined. I'd been in enough bad business deals to be able to sniff out the good ones by process of elimination.
The sa applied to my work. I'd failed so many tis at being a CEO that I definitely knew what not to do. It helped, especially in pointing out what exactly to do.
I whistled, glancing at the other docunts I still needed to go through. At this point in ti, things would move fast but as ti goes on, it'll cool down. I'll eventually be like those club mbers at Pine Press who just had too much ti on their hands.
I checked my watch. It was almost three. Lincoln would soon be here.
My phone rang and I picked it up. A welco distraction from work.
I clicked it open to see it was a notification from a popular news website. I blinked as I saw the headline.
14:23
"Adams Family Scandal: First Son Confesses to Exposing Wife Margot's Affair with Younger Brother Oliver."
An involuntary laugh erupted out of . Before long, I was laughing so hard, I had to hold my stomach.
What is this? The sweet taste of vindication?
I wiped the tears out of my eyes as my laughter tapered off into chuckles. The truth has co out and by coming out, it has set free.
Now, if Oliver was looking for soone to drag to court, he'd have to drag his brother. And he definitely won't do that.
I chuckled again, reading through the article.
"The internet was set ablaze earlier this week when news broke of an affair between Margot Adams, wife of the Adams family's eldest son, and her brother-in-law, Oliver Adams."
I chuckled. Set ablaze. That was an understatent. The Internet had been set ablaze, stamped upon and left to rot.
The alpha male Internet personalities had content for their podcasts and Margot also had her defenders who'd co to fight back.
It had been a whole thing.
Of course, at the ti, I'd been too out of it to appreciate the chaos.
I continued reading, my eyes affixed on the part that ntioned .
My na has floated through the news as the leak, especially after Oliver's scene at my office.
But now, it has been confird that his elder brother had been the one to leak the affair himself.
What a twist.
There was a knock at my open door and I glanced up to see Lincoln entering. "Mr. Voss."
"Welco, Michael." I stood, greeting him with a handshake. "Have a seat."
He sat.
"So, I've unlocked a clause in the will?" I asked.
"For all intent and purposes, yes." He nodded, pulling out docunts from his briefcase.
"I see."
"Yes. Let us begin." He said with his professional smile.
I briefly wondered if he was just as professional even with family as I nodded. "Let's."
He cleared his throat and began.
"I, Lauren Cooper, of sound mind and body, hereby declare this to be my Last Will and Testant, revoking all forr wills and codicils made by ."
I listened as he read the will until he got to the clause I'd apparently unlocked.
"Upon reaching the financial milestone of increasing his net worth by fifty million dollars, my son, Nicholas Voss shall inherit my sixteen percent stake in Eidolon Interactive, effective imdiately."
Eidolon Interactive? Why does that na sound familiar?
Lincoln finished his reading, closing the will. He retrieved another docunt, handing it to .
"Here, Mr. Voss. The docunts for Eidolon Interactive."
I collected the docunts and as I went through it, he explained to .
"Eidolon Interactive is a globally known video ga developer and publisher with a valuation of eighteen billion dollars. Your stake in the company amounts to three billion dollars. Congratulations, Mr. Voss, on joining the billion dollar club."
"Thank you." I flashed him a smile before going back to what I was reading. Now, I know why the na was familiar.
Eidolon Interactive was responsible for various blockbuster gas that had individually made billions in revenue.
It was also well known for its ga engine which has been hailed as the best in rendering perfect photorealistic graphics and adaptive NPC frawork.
"Founded in 2003 by programr and designer, Justin Kale, Eidolon Interactive was funded by your mother Lauren Cooper. It has since grown to beco an industry leader." Lincoln said.
"The company would soon hold a shareholder eting and I believe this is a ti as good as any to introduce yourself to your fellow shareholders and the board."
"Okay." I nodded.
It took so ti but we finally completed everything that needed doing and once more Lincoln shook my hand before leaving.
I sat back down, staring at the docunt he'd left .
I was now a proud shareholder and in one case, sole owner of three companies. Cooper Real Estate, Sunset Inn and now, Eidolon Interactive. But out of all three, Sunset Inn held a special place in my heart as the one company I'd built with my own too hands.
I sighed.
I was slowly gathering my arms for the coming war.
Very soon, I'll have to face one of my step sisters.
A step sister with actual power.
And I'd need all the firepower I could gather.
