Invincible Heir novel Chapter 18

With that looming threat, Henry made to leave.

“Hear that, Tracy? Just three days to settle things with Mr. Camel, before your whole family gets expelled! Now that I think of it, I don’t even remember seeing the head of the clan invoke his authority like that,” Phillip laughed, smug as ever.

For the head of the clan to directly invoke his authority, it was the highest command possible in the ranks of the Perry family. The head of the clan had to pen it in person, and could only do so once a year.

Now, Henry was bringing such a level of authority to bear against Tracy.

Tracy had frozen on the spot. She’d never thought her own grandfather was capable of something like this. Not against her of all people.

This was the first time she’d felt such despair towards her own clan.

This was the first time she found herself thinking of breaking away from the clan entirely.

For three straight days, Tracy loitered by the Brone Group, failing even to place one foot through the threshold.

Brone company building, penthouse, Chairman’s office.

In front of a giant plane-glass window, a youthful silhouette stood with hands clasped behind his back, studying the small, fragile figure far below him with eyes full of pity.

“Chairman, sir, it’s been three days. Aren’t you going to let her in?” Camel asked, ever so cautiously.

Baron shook his head. “This is the only way she’ll realize the truth. You have to be vicious with the Perry Clan, or they’ll just end up stepping over you like this.”

Tracy waited in front of the building for three days. Baron watched her from inside for three days.

He’d only been back for a few short days, and already he had borne witness to more injury and injustice than he could count, all levied against Tracy. It was difficult to imagine just how much she had suffered in five whole years.

Tracy was outside, while his own pain was etched deep within.

Beneath the Brone company building, Yuri looked on at her sister, pained. “Sis, the Perry Clan is just pushing whatever grief they have with the Brone Group onto your shoulders. A clan like this isn’t worth the trouble!”

Eyes red, Tracy maintained, “I created Samho with my own two hands. I am not giving it up.”

“Even if you restore collaboration between the Perry Clan and the Brone Group, the clan’s still not going to hand the Samho Group back to you!” Yuri cried, frustrated.

“Well, I can’t stand by and watch my company implode like this!” Tracy wept.

Yuri’s temper wilted upon seeing Tracy’s tears, and she reached out to hug her even as her own tears began to fall. “Sis, there no need to go so far!”

Watching the despairing sisters from his perch on the penthouse, Baron did not relent.

“I’m going in to talk to Camel!” Yuri rubbed her eyes and rushed into the company.

For three days while Tracy waited outside, Yuri had searched for Camel from the inside on her end. But she was a new hire. New hires simply didn’t meet with general managers on their first fortnight.

“Yuri, get a hold of yourself! If you barge in looking for Mr. Camel like this, you could lose your job.”

Seeing how volatile Yuri was, Bonnie began to panic.

“Even if I end up fired, I need to see Mr. Camel. Refusing the offer is one thing, but at least have the decency to meet my sister! She’s been standing in the doorway for three straight days, without even a glimpse of Camel’s shadow!” Yuri said, incensed.

“Quiet down!” Bonnie hissed, clapping a hand over Yuri’s mouth.

“Out of my way!”

Yuri shoved her off and made her way straight towards the general manager’s office.

With a loud bang, she pushed her way in.

“Yuri!” By the time Bonnie caught up, it was too late.

“Mr. Camel, I know you’re an important person. Too important for the likes of us. But even so, you don’t get to step on us like this! My sister’s been waiting for you outside for three solid days! All you have to do is say yes or no, so why are you torturing her with silence?” Yuri blasted, seeing red.
