The next morning, my father summoned me home, his expression stern as he ordered, “Merge Lancrest with the Wood Corporation.
“You’ve spent four years studying abroad and haven’t learned a thing! You’ve only been back a few days and look at the mess you’ve made. Hand the company back to the family immediately and issue a public apology.”
I looked at him calmly. “Dad, let’s be clear–this mess was caused by my brother’s girlfriend, not my company.”
“Only because you bullied her first!”

To celebrate, Shawn threw her a lavish party.
The venue was extravagantly decorated, with many of her fans invited to attend. They even set up a live–stream for the event.
Dressed in a pristine white cocktail dress, Linda spoke softly, her voice filled with gratitude as she thanked her
fans.
The next segment of the event was a montage of video messages recorded by her fans.
The large screen behind her lit up.
The footage that appeared was blurry, the angle discreet, as though it had been filmed in secret.
