News of Kade’s coma spread like a powerful blast. It failed to shake the Howell family’s leadership over the pack alliance, yet it threw Howell Group into utter chaos instantly.

Media reports fueled the unrest. The company stock plummeted within hours, wiping away billions in market value. Panicked shareholders rushed to the firm, demanding to meet Kade in person.

Jett found himself surrounded in the meeting room, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

He tried his best to calm the crowd. “Everyone, please stay calm. Mr. Howell is perfectly fine. He has personal matters to attend to and simply cannot come to the office right now. No rumors about his illness or coma hold truth. All business runs as usual, so do not believe unfounded gossip.”

The shareholders refused to be reassured and slammed their hands against the table.

“Personal business? What kind of matter keeps him hidden away? Do not try to fool us, Jett!”

“Our shares keep dropping. Who will compensate our heavy losses?”

“You must give us a clear answer today, or we will not back down!”

Jett was cornered and filled with anxiety. He knew the situation would spiral out of control if Kade did not show up soon. Yet Kade remained unconscious and unable to make an

appearance.

Just then, the meeting room door swung open. A cold, shrill voice cut through the air. “Everyone, remain composed.”

All heads turned. Colt stepped inside confidently with several men trailing behind him, dressed in a sleek black suit.

“Colt? What are you doing here?” Jett’s expression darkened at the sight, his wolf eyes sharp and wary.

Colt wore a sly mocking smile. “A mere assistant cannot handle such a critical crisis. As a member of the Howell family, I am duty bound to take charge.”

“You were dismissed from your official post. You have no right to interfere with company affairs,” Jett stated firmly. He had no idea how Colt returned, but he would not let the man carry out his schemes.

Colt’s smile faded, his gaze turning icy cold. He advanced slowly toward Jett, his tone laced with menace. “You are nothing more than a beta. What authority do you have to lecture me? I

am a direct descendant of the family and the second in line for the Alpha King title. I am fully qualified to manage the corporation and oversee all packs.”

He put on a sorrowful expression. “My elder brother lies unconscious, leaving the company without a leader. Staff and investors grow anxious. It is only natural for me to step forward and restore order.”

Several shareholders spoke up in agreement.

“Mr. Colt Howell speaks the truth! The firm falls into disorder, and we need someone to take charge.”

“Jett, stop arguing. Colt belongs to the Howell family, and he deserves to take over management.”

Jett stepped back helplessly, cold sweat streaming down his face. He realized Colt had come fully prepared and already won over most shareholders. Further objections would prove useless.

Having seized control of the company, Colt made his first major decision to terminate the partnership with Ironvale Pack.

Jett rose abruptly, overcome with anger. “This cannot happen! Mr. Howell personally launched this project. Countless resources and time have been invested. Abandoning it now will trigger irreversible losses.”

Colt settled into the main seat of the conference table, folding his arms with a cold smirk.

He spoke slowly and disdainfully, “You are just a beta, a servant of this household. You have no grounds to question my calls. I hold authority over the company now, and the deal is off.”

Jett clenched his fists and suppressed his rage. “This cooperation shapes the firm’s long–term future. Mr. Howell poured endless effort into it. Do not discard his hard work out of personal resentment.”

Colt narrowed his fierce wolf eyes and sneered. “Personal resentment?”

“What I do serves the company’s best interests. The Ironvale partnership carries huge risks. Our unstable stock price and tight capital flow will only face greater threats if we press on. The entire pack alliance’s stability could suffer as well.

“As interim leader, I bear responsibility for the corporation and all affiliated packs.”

Shareholders nodded in approval.

“He makes a valid point. The company cannot afford such risky ventures right now.”
