Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 68

Then, someone else brought up what had happened at the Mercer family’s welcome banquet.

That incident had already died down, but now that it was being rehashed, comments flooded in almost instantly.

“They can just swap the rankings? Is this competition even fair?”

“Sigh, they have power and connections. No matter how fair things are supposed to be, there’s always room for manipulation behind the scenes.”

“The Mercer family is unbelievably biased.”

“So they treat the newly found daughter like a treasure and the one they raised like dirt.”

“Fine, they found her, but they can’t just prop one up by tearing the other down. Parents and brothers are supposed to be fair.”

“I heard the new one started causing trouble for Mira not long after they met.”

“We all watched that Mira girl grow up. It’s obvious the newcomer is the one stirring up drama.”

Adrian had originally planned to use Mara's ranking to salvage the Mercer family’s reputation, which had taken a hit recently. He never expected that Mira's participation would not only fail to restore their image but actually make it worse.

Damon's reputation also took a significant blow due to the ranking swap between his two sisters.

A dark cloud now hung over the Mercer family. Ethan, who was busy in his office, learned about the trending topic the moment it blew up. He couldn't help but blame Damon.

As the president of the Mercer Group, Ethan had countless matters to deal with every day. He had handed the entertainment company over to his third brother, Damon, thinking he wouldn't have to worry about that sector anymore. Who would have thought his brother couldn't even handle something so simple?
