Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 916

"Then we'll follow your recommendation. We'll admit him now, and upon discharge, I will personally transfer him to a private medical retreat. From this day forward, he is not to be informed of a single family matter."

Owen stared down the couple, his gaze carrying an overwhelming, predatory threat.

Jocelyn shuddered in terror, shrinking behind Richard.

"But..."

Richard barely got a word out before Owen cut him off.

"But what? Is the family drama more important, or is Grandfather's life more important?"

"What about the Chairman position?"

"I will be assuming the role, obviously," Owen stated matter-of-factly.

"What, you want to be Chairman? Well, I suppose you could try. You're welcome to gather whichever shareholders still support you and break off to form your own little splinter company. Then you can be their Chairman all you want."

Meanwhile, Mira was having lunch with her classmates.

"How are things going on Owen's end?" Harvey Rivers asked.

"The dust will settle today. Tomorrow at the latest," Mira replied softly, her fingers flying across Emerald Messenger as she texted Owen: *Is the old man acting 'normal' today?*

An instant reply popped up: *Normal.*

*When are we going public with the corporate truth?*

*Planned for this afternoon.*

Mira then nodded to Harvey. "This afternoon."

Harvey's eyes lit up with excitement. "I can hardly wait."

The two resumed eating in comfortable silence. Their classmates knew better than to interrupt whenever Harvey and Mira were discussing business.

Just as they were finishing their meal, Jillian Lowe spoke up. "Look. Seraphina and Luna are heading this way."
