“Actually, I have. A friend of mine in law told me Mr. Merrick personally chose a girl from Dracovia as the heir. He swore the source was solid.”
“That’s insane. How has that news not reached us yet?”
“Because it was officially announced over in Dracovia first. Apparently, Merrick even cleared out his own son and daughter just to make sure no one stood in her way.”
Uriel and Derrick were completely stunned. How on earth did this girl end up running the Philips empire? But when they saw their son’s face. He was calm and totally unfazed and it was obvious he’d known all along.
This meant Lilian and Eric’s relationship wasn’t what they’d assumed. But how did she become the successor? Even if their families didn’t move in the same circles, a power move this huge shouldn’t have stayed a secret.
“What?” Cary gasped, looking like he’d been slapped.
Lilian met his gaze with a mocking smirk. “Surprised? I told you, not everyone feels the need to brag about their status every five minutes. And honestly, if this title isn’t enough for you, I’ve got plenty of others. Want to hear them?”
Cary shook his head, stumbling back. “No… I don’t believe it. How could someone like you be the heir? You’re just a brat from the middle of nowhere. You couldn’t possibly be a Philips. You’re lying!”
Lilian let out a sharp laugh. “Why would I bother? A lie always catches up to you eventually. Why would I go through the effort? Besides, Eric is standing right here. Do you really think I’d lie right in front of him? It’s honestly sad that you can’t handle the truth.”
Enic chuckled and gave her a look. “Listen to you. And quit calling me Eric, start calling me your cousin.”
He then turned to Cary, his voice turning cold and authoritative, “Lilian is the successor to Philips Corp. That was my grandfather’s decision, and it was signed off by every member of the board. Her position is final.”
“Cousin?” Cary’s head was spinning. He felt a wave of dizziness and his legs buckled, Will quickly stepped in to catch him,
Lilian watched Cary’s meltdown with a cold smile. “That’s right. Got a problem with that?”
Cary stared at her, his eyes full of desperate malire “How can you be part of that family? My investigators said you were just some orphan from the countryside How did you suddenly become a Philips?”
He remembered the report vividly He’d personally ordered the background check and there was no way his people missed this
