“As Nathan’s fiancee, I’m now part of the Higgins family. I’ve come today to discuss the recent plunge in the Higgins Group’s stock price.”

Sadie’s declaration prompted the elders to exchange uneasy glances, tension rippling through the air like a silent current.

Fiancee? Part of the Higgins family? Everyone present recognized this as merely sugarcoated nothingness.

Someone like Sadie could never truly belong among the Higgins ranks – this remained an unspoken certainty.

The Wall Group and the Higgins Group operated in entirely different spheres of influence.

Only days before, the Wall Group had extended them several projects–an already generous gesture that bordered on charity.

Now, amid scandal and financial freefall, Sadie had undoubtedly arrived to evaluate whether the Higgins family still merited any association.

This fact hung unspoken yet perfectly understood by everyone present.

Alonzo broke the silence first. He stepped aside with practiced deference, motioning toward the seat of honor. “Ms. Hudson, please make yourself comfortable.”

Sadie accepted without a moment’s hesitation. She glided forward with elegant composure and claimed the most distinguished seat in the room.

Her mere presence commanded attention, her quiet dignity asserting authority over everyone in attendance.

Only then did Alonzo pivot toward Nathan, his tone carefully probing. “Nathan, you mentioned having a solution earlier. Let’s hear your thoughts.”

Nathan squared his shoulders and straightened, his gaze deliberately sweeping across the assembled elders.

“Gentlemen, our stock is plummeting and our reputation lies in shambles. This crisis stems directly from my elder brother Jarrett–his misconduct and moral failures have brought this catastrophe upon us. This hasn’t merely embarrassed the Johnson family–it has severely tarnished the legacy our Higgins family has meticulously built over generations. To reverse this downward spiral, stabilize our stock value, and reassure our anxious partners, we must first strip Jarrett of all substantive authority within the company. We must demonstrate to the world that the Higgins family holds itself accountable. Only through such decisive action can we hope to regain investor confidence and salvage our standing in the business community.”

The room plunged into stunned silence. The elders gaped at Nathan, astonishment etched across their weathered faces.

Could this truly be the same Nathan they had dismissed as immature and incompetent? When had such clarity of thought emerged in him?

Alonzo narrowed his eyes to slits, scrutinizing Nathan’s expression with newfound interest.

Since when had this coddled heir developed such incisive judgment? These words hardly resembled anything Nathan would conceive independently.

Detecting their skepticism, Nathan flashed a sheepish smile and absently scratched the nape of his neck.

“Actually, Sadie deserves credit for most of this strategy. She considered what would best serve the family’s interests and guided me through the reasoning. Honestly, I never would’ve developed such a plan independently.”

Understanding dawned across the elders‘ faces. So this had been Sadie’s mastermind strategy all along suddenly everything clicked into place.

If they stripped Jarrett of power, who would fill the resulting vacuum? The answer loomed obvious–Nathan, standing

before them with newfound confidence. Sadie had positioned him to seize the reins.

Nevertheless…

The elders exchanged wary glances, their reservations etched plainly across their furrowed brows.

“What about Rodger?” one ventured. “He certainly won’t accept this transition gracefully.”

“Precisely. Rodger has always favored his elder son, Jarrett. When he discovers we’ve stripped Jarrett of power, we’ll face

his considerable wrath.”

Sadie delicately lifted her coffee cup and stirred it with deliberate precision, her movements flowing with unhurried

elegance.

She then raised her eyes, piercing the room with a gaze both glacial and unwavering.

“You represent the backbone of this family. Surely you can evaluate simple consequences. At this moment, the entire

Higgins empire teeters precariously on the brink of collapse. Are you truly prepared to sacrifice everything to protect –

someone who’s physically compromised and already disgraced? Or will you embrace the difficult decision that guarantees

your family’s survival? Ultimately, your choice distills to this: will you safeguard a century–old legacy, or gamble everything

to shield one fallen man?”

Her words resonated like a hammer striking steel. The elders‘ expressions transformed before her eyes.

She spoke undeniable truth. Would they truly jeopardize everything to shield one disgraced heir—while simultaneously

alienating Sadie, who wielded the formidable power of the Wall Group?

The logical choice glared obvious. Abandon Jarrett. Rally behind Nathan. With the Wall Group’s backing, the Higgins dynasty stood a fighting chance to weather this devastating tempest.

Determination ignited in Alonzo’s weathered eyes. His decision crystallized in that moment.
