Casually flipping through the documents on the table, he paused at the authorization that transferred Zayden's assets to the Fredrick Group, the contract already signed and sealed.

A slow grin spread across Holden's face as he lifted the documents and read aloud the key part. Then, he turned to Zayden and said, "So, my ever-generous cousin traveled all this way to gift his entire business to me? Well, thank you very much. Now, you can finally retire and enjoy your life."

A slow realization dawned on Zayden's face. He understood everything now. Holden had masterfully orchestrated the entire matter. Fury contorted Zayden's features as he roared, "You orchestrated this! You tricked me!"

“I tricked you?" Holden feigned innocence, eyes widening in mock surprise. "Never did I claim to be deceased. Those rumors about my demise weren't exactly whispers I started myself."
