Chapter 245
Wolves were spotted regularly in that forest; police assumed that the body had been taken away by the wolves. Since they had only managed to find some torn fabric along with some blood stains that had proven to be Sage’s after the DNA test, they concluded their search.
Leah could not and would not believe that. She almost flipped the whole forest inside out looking for Sage; she wanted to see the body with her own eyes, dead or alive. Leah’s feet were filled with wounds and blisters, she eventually passed out in the forest due to a high fever from the infections that were festering in the wounds. Even though Sage’s body was never found, her father and Uncle Braxton rushed to hold the funeral just so they could get a share of the assets that were left to Sage by Uncle William.
“I’ve given you the title of CEO already, and now you’re trying to have the Rosa Garden all to yourself? You can’t just take everything and not share, that’s selfish!” Zane slammed the table as he exclaimed grudgingly.
Braxton responded insistently, “One pain, one gain, Brax. I contributed the most to William and his wife’s accident. As for Sage, it was my daughter, Yeva who did the most. I’m just taking what I deserve. What you have now is more than enough.”
“Oh, you ungrateful prick. If it wasn’t for me risking my life to mess with their car, we would’ve never succeeded.” Braxton scorned in disdain, “That alone wouldn’t mean sh*t if it wasn’t for me, our brother and his wife aren’t stupid, I had to bribe their driver, and also made arrangements with the other party in order for it to succeed. I was the one who paid and risked it all, it’s only right for me to receive the most benefits.”
“Fine, you know what? Take it. I won’t be staying in the Rosa Garden anyway, seeing as how eerie is.”
Zane eventually came to a compromise, but with a condition. “I don’t care about anything else, aside from Norah Entertainment. I’ll take over the management, since it’s what I’m good at anyway. I used to tell William to give me the COO title, but he refused! Otherwise we wouldn’t have to go this far…”
“Fine, I’ll give you what William couldn’t. Since we’re family after all.”
Braxton’s face darkened as he said, “Our dear father thought the two of us weren’t good enough, so he adopted an outsider and gave him everything he owned. He even lied to us about the outsider being his bastard child, bullsh*t! I can’t believe I bought that sh*t and treated him like an elder brother!”
