Chapter 18
"My prestige, my respect as the heir of Castlehill Shanghai group, and my love. Everything I had, I'll take them all back." I answered honestly. "So you are going to wage a war with everyone including your family?" She questioned again. I'm guessing to ascertain if I understood the reality of my claims.
"If they try to obstruct me from getting back what is mine, then yes. I'll not hesitate to push them aside." I affirmed.
"Well well, little Danny, I guess you've made up your mind to fight everyone including me. Anyway, I still have a lot to do, so i'd appreciate it if you leave." she ordered rudely.
My sister have always been known for her lack of tolerance, so whenever she refers to me as little Danny' it's more like a belittlement or an acceptance of challenge.
It's no lie that I have to fight my family, especially her if I want to be named CEO of Castlehill Shanghai Group.
She has handled the position so well for 6 years now and does have plenty of allies, but it's also not a secret that many people still consider her incompetent to an extent as she is just a woman.
And honestly at this point I don't care anymore and I'm willing to use anything and everything, including everyone's weakness against them if it means I will attain my goal. That is the Winfrey's way, after all. All is fair in love and war, they say.
Livy
I stared in bewilderment at the night wears packed for me. Heather went all out, from baby dolls, to satin robeties and even playsuits. There was no way I was going to wear any of these and sleep beside Markian, he might get upset and decides to get a separate room. There is really no telling what he might do.
I sat down on the bed exasperated at mine and Heather's super plan that seemed easier said than done.
Since we got checked into our hotel suite, Markian has not gotten off his phone.
Forget about seducing this man, if he's too busy to even look at me, how on earth would I even have a chance at succeeding.
But to think that I used to dream of this day, when Markian would be by my side as my life partner, we would go on our honeymoon and have a wonderful time.
This was still very far from my dreams, and without mistaking, I'ld prefer my dreams over this reality now.
I took my bath and felt a little tingle below my abdomen as I washed off the jet lag and fatigue. I realised I haven't eaten at all since noon, maybe I was getting hungry but it's already late.
I still wore my travel clothes even though they were so uncomfortable to sleep in, but I had zero confidence in myself and even though it was his idea that we come here, I should also try to make it less uncomfortable for him.
A grabbed the extra blanket and as I laid on the couch, I placed it over my body. It didn't take long for the fatigue to take over and I was asleep faster than I could think.NôvelDrama.Org content.
Daniel
An official visit to Luthel Ind's Chairperson should be an honor, but unfortunately she doesn't seem pleased to see me.
I've heard of the kind of woman she was and honestly while growing up, she was the exact example of an affluent ambitious business woman we were taught.
She was strict, thorough and direct, but people like her don't get to were they are right now without soiling their hands one way or the other.
The last time Mrs. Luthel and I had had a meeting, it was to buy my silence conceming a deep secret that runs so deep and wild in this region that it has her name and other powerful affluent names all over it too.
I did promise i'ld never use that trump card, but seems i have to go back on my word since i need to use what i have to get what I want. So it's only natural she isn't pleased to see me.
"Mr. Winfrey how may I help you?" she asked very direct.
"Wow, you are what I've heard all along. They say you can be very intimidating and blunt, I'm certainly nervous just to how straightforward you are being ma'am." I paused to understand her expression, but there was none.
She wasn't phased at the slightest, but her patience seemed to be running out very fast though.
"Fine. I get it, you're not a woman of many words, so I'll just continue. I want the Hongkong contract, you know. The one meant to come in this month, yea, my Shanghai group wants to handle it and for that reason I'm here today to see you." I spoke nonchalantly.
slowly, I was becoming rase but it didn't matter to me at all. I have to be worst things if I'm to be given the same reverence and fear as Markian.
She looked at me in awe, bewildered as to maybe how I found out about the contract or to what guts I had to tell her what to do. "Are you sure you want to do these?" she asked, taking me aback.
I wondered briefly as to what exactly was she asking? But anything it was, I was ready, so I nodded playfully
"I see. Well, the Hongkong contract is already in the hands of the President of Castlehill Groups. If you want it, you have to ask him for it yourself. I'm sorry, but you came a little bit too late Judy replied with a smirk.
I'm not stupid enough to confront Markian, at least not yet. But if she thinks that I came here without a single clue as to what was going down, then she would be shocked after all.
I knew the contract has been promise to Markian, which was why I wanted it.
If I can snatch such a huge deal at the first stretch, I could land a serious major first blow on Markian's pride and ego. That alone was sure to skyrocket my name in the major market industry.

My plan was simple, beat Markian in this game, make a brand-name and have my dream woman.
All the women in my life in the past and present have always chosen Markian over me because, he was always the 'heir to Castlehill.
Even my own sister is now siding with him too and driving the woman I love into his arms. So, mere crushing him isn't going to be a enough for me.
I also want to take everything that makes him Markian away too, and when that happens, everyone including Livy would finally see him for who he really was, a phony.
"Now now, you are well respected even by me, so you really don't have to lie just because you don't want to get into trouble. Mrs. Luthel I know you haven't given the contract to him yet because it haven't even been sent yet." I smirked knowing how effective my words were.
"And if it's to be sent, it would naturally fall on you to choose whom to give it to. So I want you at the very last minute, to give it to me." At my request, I saw a slight distortion in her face.
Well, I'll be damned. The great and mighty Judy Luthell hates been given orders. Really? Her outburst was scary but also kinda expected. "And why on earth would I do that? What are you to give me orders, telling me what to do or what not? Who the hell do you think you are?".
I couldn't help but get all defensive. It was very easy getting her all reeled up and feisty
It gave me great sense of satisfaction, seeing her mad, and to know that I was capable of doing that to her made me bolder.
"I'm Daniel Tion Winfrey, son of Mr. Tion Winfrey President of Castlehill shanghai group, heir to that Shanghai group and soon to be successor of Castlehill Groups. I'm not much but, when you think about it, I know some secrets you know you don't want getting out. Smirk...so now, I hope you fully understand just what and who exactly I am, also why you would do as I have just said?"
