Chapter 39
Evangeline’s gaze swept across the room as she spoke, sharp enough to keep everyone from looking her in the eye.
Gone was the gentle composure she showed with the Gordon family, replaced by the ironclad authority of a woman in charge
“Any objections? Now’s the time to speak up.” Evangeline stated calmly.
With Cole’s right–hand man, Asher, standing behind her, his respect bordering on reverence, it was as though Cole himself had entered the room. Who would dare step out of line?
After all, Cole, the notorious gambling tycoon, was a name that sent shivers down their spines. Cole might be bedridden, doting on Evangeline with every fiber of his being, but his reputation in the business and underground worlds was still formidable
Everyone was convinced that she was Cole’s granddaughter, and her eyes–calm yet. piercing–were a mirror image of Cole’s own
David, who had just been ousted, served as her first lesson to the company. She did not even spare the old timers‘ pride
Who would dare cross her then?
With no one voicing any dissent, Evangeline settled back into her chair with an air of relaxed authority and signaled Asher to kick off the meeting
Under Asher’s guidance, they quickly honed in on Foster Group’s latest predicament.
Strata King Group was planning to partner with Foster Group to take over Stonehill Bay and construct the largest man–made island, creating the Kingdom of the Sea as a premier entertainment and vacation hub, envisioning it as the next big destination after Little Saint James Island
With the Foster family’s stocks in a nosedive half of the group had already cast their votes in favor, desperate for a strong alliance to turn the tide. The Kingdom of the Sea‘ seemed like the perfect opportunity.
