“Rowan!” Sarai seized his shoulders, her gaze intense and piercing.


    “He’s manipting you.


    Can’t you see that? Both of you are your father’s sons.


    Why is he the high and mighty CEO, yet he isn’t even willing to give you the dividend?”


    “That’s all because of you!” Rowan snapped, his irritation palpable.


    “Are you saying Courtney did something wrong? Yes, she made a mistake, but wasn’t Madisyn also at fault? Your brother is merely exploiting the situation,” Sarai countered sharply, her words aimed to provoke.


    “He has no right to cancel your dividend!”

    Rowan was both disturbed and annoyed.


    He hadn’t anticipated his brother to turn a blind eye to his suffering!


    “Think about it, honey.


    You chose to step down from the heir position.


    If you hadn’t, perhaps thepany wouldn’t be in your brother’s control right now.


    In the worst scenario, you could have secured a managerial role with a decent annual sry.


    Yet, your brother hasn’t even offered you any position.novelbin


    Doesn’t that seem Like he’s guarding against you?”


    “Yes, Glenn is guarding against me,” Rowan admitted with a bitter smile.


    “We may not need the dividend, but you deserve at least a role within the Johns Group!”


    That evening, Madisyn dined with her parents.


    During the meal, Glenn’s phone started to ring.


    He answered it and came back looking distressed.


    “What’s wrong, dear?” ine inquired.


    Glenn pursed his lips and said, “Rowan wants a position at thepany.


    ”


    ine couldn’t help but roll her eyes.


    “Is he serious? He doesn’t have the knack for business.


    How can he possibly work at thepany?”


    “Exactly,” Glenn responded.


    “What did you tell him?” ine was curious.


    “I said yes.


    If he thinks business is simple, let him try.


    I’ll set up a separate department for him to see what he’s capable of,” Glenn exined calmly.


    If Rowan managed to prove himself, Glenn wouldn’t hinder his sess.


    Madisyn remained silent throughout, continuing to eat.


    She sensed that Rowan would soon regret this choice.


    The following day, after Madisyn wrapped up her work, Andrew arrived to take her to the banquet.


    The event was hosted at avish hotel in Ansport, where the grand setting lent an air of luxury.


    The banquet hall was buzzing with guests engaged in Lively conversations and enjoying their drinks.


    Though the conversations seemed light and casual, everyone had their own agendas, quietly probing for information they were curious about.
