Invincible Heir

Tracy felt her heart grow sour with indignation and resentment. She’d established the Samho Group with her own two hands, until the Perry Clan took that from her. Now she finally had an opportunity to take the company back, but her own grandfather was breaking his word just like that.

“You can’t accept it?”

Henry repeated icily and then went on. “If that trash husband of yours hadn’t made enemies of Connor, we would have been able to sign a contract with the Johnson Clan as well. If we could have achieved that along with our collaboration with the Brone Group, the Perry Clan could have ascended to an elite family this very year. And now, you have the gall to tell me you find your plight unacceptable?”

Like a bayonet, Henry’s words stabbed deep into Tracy’s heart.

‘So if Tracy gains the collaboration of the Johnson Clan, you can pass the seat of Chairman to her, then?’

Standing beside Tracy, Baron studied Henry calmly, almost peaceably – but if Charles had been there with them, he would have known that in this state, Baron was at his most terrifying.

“Who do you think you are? The likes of you, negotiating with me?”

Henry looked at Baron with derision and turned his gaze on Tracy. “Even if you secure collaboration with a hundred Johnson Clans, the position of Chairman will never find its way to you.”

With that Parthian shot, the old man turned and left.

And so the tides turned once again, and the fair-weather friends flocked their way back to Phillip’s side.

“Come now, Tracy, did you really think you’d be received as some sort of hero just for bringing back one measly contract?”

“Exactly. All you’ve done was make up for your own mistake.”

“Mr. Perry knows best after all – keeping the company out of the hands of this shameless woman.”

“Phillip is Mr. Perry’s rightful heir. Where exactly do you think you come in locking horns with him?”

The people who had been busy kissing up to Tracy but less than a minute ago all switched sides in an instant.
