Chapter 1097

• Forty minutes earlier, Madam Fina had arrived at Berlin Building, her expression composed but her mind racing with calculations. The entire Smith family was well aware that Gavin’s return and his potential control over their shares posed a significant threat to them. If he gained influence over the company, it could completely shift the power dynamics within the family.
• The Smith family had already decided on their successor. Even though Sam lacked the brilliance and decisive leadership that Gavin possessed, and many executives within the company were growing increasingly dissatisfied with his decisions, Madam Fina and Old Master Smith remained steadfast in their support for him. They were determined to see him take over the family’s business empire, regardless of the growing skepticism surrounding his capabilities.
• Now, with Sam securing a seat at the international conference, he had a real opportunity to compete against Gavin for the prestigious director’s position. If he succeeded, it would solidify his reputation and prove to the business world that he was a worthy leader. The Smith family pinned all their hopes on this moment—they could not afford another failure.
