I'm Alan Arjo. Right now, I'm panicking because I could feel my carefully constructed world collapsing right before my eye. I was born into a family most could only dream of so I took advantage of it at every chance I got.
The world's greatest luxury goods group was founded by my family. Since childhood, while others thought about what to wear and how to present themselves, I had a team who took care of my wardrobe. I wore nothing but designer clothes still I never rember wearing any sets of clothes twice.
Since my childhood, my father had always been strict with telling that I had to follow the family business and make it prosperous just like him.
Simultaneously, he never denied anything. I was an only child which ant she showered with love if one could call it that but I knew if I wanted sothing he would go above and beyond to give it to .
By the ti, I knew about relationships between n and won many supermodels and school belles were throwing themselves at just because I am his son. They voluntarily dedicated themselves to please because they saw my future at the helm of LVHM Group.
I got everything going my way right up to the point when I discovered my sister. She had been quite and a lot younger than but I never took her seriously.
When she started flourishing in business, people began calling her preposterous nas like born businesswoman, rising star in fashion Industry and so on.
She was my nightmare, a rude awakening that I was not good enough. I was constantly compared to her at her every achievent. No matter how much I tried, I could never compare to her. Still I knew as the eldest and only son sooner or later I will be the true heir of my father. She could never surpass despite having superior qualities.
Fortunately, my father still loved enough to take under his wings. He taught everything about running the business and giving out orders to do my bidding. He introduced to Alexis granting enough funds to fight my sister. I knew people were not happy being the successor buy it didn't matter as long as I had my way.
They were just jealous of my achievents trying to undermine every chance they got but I would be victorious in the end as long as my father supported .
However, my sister never faulted, sotis I wonder why god gave such a capable sister, it was not fair!
Tonight was going to be my highlight, my father already told that he was finally ready to retire leaving everything in my hand to manage. This was one ti, I could show that I was better than my sister!
The winning process might be crude and unfair but that's what I had to go through ever since she xa in my life. I am willing to pay any price just to one up her. Beside everything was fair in love and war!
However, just as I was knocking on the victory's door, my good sister found soone I consider the most dangerous being in the world, the fucking heir of Rothschild family.
My previous gray advantage instantly turned into Bpack and white with half anf half chance of coming out on top. I even feared for his life because I too knew the rumours. It was evident he was following the footsteps of his mother who was once called the demoness for her ruthlessness.
I looked at my father who sohow seed pleased with my sister. It was unacceptable which really turned my world insode out. Will he really abandon ?
So what it was Rothschilds, it was family matters. He has no right to interfere in their internal matters!
My only hope was that father would do sothing about it and put an end to this farce. I have to stay beside him trying to make him believe he is making the right move!
I could also feel this bitch Alexis already knew about it. She had been quiet ever since he arrived. I have to admit he looks good but she was suppose to be my ally not look at like I was so trash laying on the street that she could discard first chance she got!
" Everyone, please be quiet. I have an announcent to make!" Bernard took to the stage again ready to deliver his closing remarks.
" I think everyone is aware of today's significance. LVHM has decades of history and its my honor that along the way I have opportunity to et so like minded people. Which was why I wanted to share so important news to everyone." He paused gathering everyone's attention.
" Tonight's banquet is the stage to announce that I will be stepping down in few years handing over my responsibilities to my heir. I have already decided whom I am handing over my responsibilities to." He said in a serious tone.
Alan felt his father's gaze which made hi happy but he also glanced at his sister and Samuel. He didn't know why his father was making things so mysterious, wasn't it already decided he was the chosen one?
Delphina who was cheerful up until now knew she had to make her stand. She wasn't happy about it, she respected her father a lot but in recent years he seed to have lost his edge prioritising her brother over her.
She just couldn't understand why? Was the stupid tradition so important that he let go of his business integrity? If her brother was better than her, she would have gladly accepted her father's decision but now she had to rebel not just for her but for her people and all who worked for the Group!
She might idolize her father since childhood but this ti she knew he was wrong. It would be idiotic not to correct his mistakes!
" Co on, you have to have so confidence. Where is that charming business lady I first t? If you tried you can surely surpass your father. Just believe in yoursel." Samuel patted her back feeling her tension.
She smiled and nodded seeing everyone support her decision. She knew what she had to do.
" Now, I am going to announce the heir of the LVHM group-" Just as Bernard was ntioning the na Delphina stood up.
" Father, I am against your decision." She shouted making her presence known to all the guests.
The original quiet scene started boiling again sensing an upcoming family drama! They never knew she would be so bold in front of ao many distinguished guests. That's goes to show her determination.
" Delphina, what are you trying to do? Are you going to oppose father's decision in front of everyone?" Alan was next to stand up, fury evident in his eyes. He was almost yelling at her. Read new chapters at empire
She promptly ignored her brother as she only regarded him as a jumping clown. It was better to stay silent than to argue with a puppet!
Alan looked around seeing everyone's contemptuous gazes, they were openly mocking him just like his sister. He even heard few snickering from behind, that was where his supporters sat. Was he so hopeless that his own faction was mocking him?
Even Alexis distanced herself since she knew her work was done. When Delphina drops the bombshell, she would leave the scum to finally join her side.
Alan was angry, so angry that it was boiling over. The dumb bitch was so carefree like she didn't even care about her investnts. She was already heavily invested, probably more than few billions! If he lost wouldn't it hinder all her carefully prepared plan?
Everyone watched the classic civil war between two giants. Bernard looked at his daughter while squinting trying to understand her next move. Alan was only a supporting role ready to be sacrificed for the plot to progress!
" Delphina, my dear daughter, can't it wait until I make my announcent?" he said with a sigh with a hint of discomfort on his face.
" No, father, I can't let you do that known fully what is your decision but I have to prioritise the company's future." She refused to give in.
" Oh, tell my dear daughter, what's the best for everyone?Do you want to tell you Alan isn't right for this position? Or you want to tell you have so late support? Yiu know fully it would not change the outco.I am quite eager for you to share your perspective." He was quite satisfied with her stubbornness.
Atleast she was not wallowing in self pity and fighting back even when facing him head on!
" No father, I am not talking about heirs." She directly rejected his question.
" Huh? What then?" For the first ti in a ling ti, Bernard felt things were out of his control.
" I want to convene a shareholder's eting to dismiss the chairman of the LVHM group and appoint myself to beco the new chairwoman!" her voice detonated like a bomb throughout the whole venue.
