Losing Morrison Group was unbearable for the entire Morrison family.
They had turned into a laughingstock within Dhord City.
It was humiliating to lose their very own company to someone else.
The Morrisons had wanted to further expand their rule. But now, the loss of Morrison Group turned them into easy prey as various other families within Dhord City began eyeing them.
Cory held onto his swollen cheeks and remained silent.
His entire body was still in immense pain as he sat in his wheelchair.
The most hurtful thing of all was the fact that everyone now viewed him as a joke.
His actions had turned him into a clown for everyone's amusement.
Cory wished for nothing but to get his revenge on Caspian.
"You bastard, you're nothing but a disappointment. Don't even think about inheriting the Morrison family as the next patriarch anymore. You're not worthy," Tristan pointed at Cory, scolding him.
Cory froze up on the spot.
He was left dumbfounded as his father's words had sealed his fate from ever becoming the next head of the Morrisons.
Cory endured immense pain as he knelt down on the ground to beg for mercy. "Give me another chance, Dad! I won't let it happen again! I didn't know Caspian could buy out all of our shares! Where the hell did he even get all his funds from?
"Please, Dad. I made a mistake because I wanted to make a name for myself. Please, I'm your only son!"
Tristan was also shocked and confused about how Southlake Corporation managed to have enough funds to buy out Morrison Group.
It wasn't a meager amount like millions of dollars. Just where did Caspian manage to find hundreds of billions in order to achieve his goal?
Tristan was utterly disappointed in his son after he lost the entire Morrison Group in a matter of days as the newly appointed CEO.
Tristan had wished to further expand Morrison Group's power upon defeating Southlake Corporation.
He never expected that Cory would try to do such a stupid move.
Letting him become the next head of the Morrison family would only attract immense criticism.
Tristan sighed and replied, "Just rest for now. We don't need your input for the group from now on."
Cory was at his wit's end as he knew that he would never get the chance to redeem himself.
He suddenly thought about Jyn and wondered if she could bring Morrison Group back.
It would, at the very least, help lessen his guilt a little.
"Jyn, you gotta help me get the group back to our family! Just do it for the family's sake even if you don't wanna help me!" Cory begged.
Jyn remained emotionless just like when Cory succeeded her as the CEO.
She saw no point in replying to Cory's request now that the group was no more.
Someone like Cory would never be worthy enough to become the head of the Morrisons.
Jyn sarcastically replied, "I wouldn't possibly dare to meddle in the affairs of the great Mr. Morrison."
Cory felt as if he was stabbed in the heart as he watched Jyn ridicule him further.
He had to get Morrison Group back somehow, or he would never be relevant again within the family.
Cory continued to beg, "Jyn, aren't you comrades with Caspian? Maybe you can ask him to give me another chance and return Morrison Group to us. I'm sure he'd listen to you …"
"Silence! Do you think I have any say in front of Caspian? Do you really expect him to give the group back to us with just mere words? Caspian only loves Willow, and I'm nothing to him!" Jyn scolded.
She screamed aloud as if to vent all of her frustrations that she had been bottling up within herself.
