The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 499

The absolute nerve of this bastard! Danny had already turned his cousin Grant into a lazy, unambitious playboy, and now he is trying to use the same tactic on him. "Family," he claims. Garrison wouldn't trust Danny if his life depended on it.

Unfortunately, Garrison is backed into a corner. He gritts his teeth and accepts the humiliating terms, swearing to himself that he will rise again.

Forced into the spotlight, Garrison hosts the press conference, takes full responsibility for the tragedy, and issues a groveling public apology to the victims' families. The moment he returns to the office, he signs his temporary resignation, officially handing the reins of the project back to Danny.

The boardroom whispers are brutal and relentless.

"He should have stepped down weeks ago. He doesn't have the talent to run a project of this scale."

"We can recover lost profits, but tanking the company's reputation is unforgivable."

"Exactly. Garrison and his son just don't have the head for business. They ruin everything they touch."

Garrison hears every agonizing insult. He is livid, but completely defenseless. Since the disaster was undeniably his fault, he has no choice but to swallow the bitter pill and suffer in silence.

Adding insult to injury, his own useless son actually agrees with the critics.

"Dad, honestly, being a figurehead is great," Grant says casually. "We get to eat at five-star restaurants, travel the world, and the family never cuts our allowance. Why bother fighting Danny? He inherited all his father’s genius genes. You can't compete with him. You're getting old anyway. Why not just relax, drink some tea, and enjoy a comfortable retirement?"
