Chapter 793:

No.

He refused to accept it.

The Johns family would never willingly hand over the CEO position to him.

If they wouldn’t give him what he deserved, he’d have to take it himself.

After all, wasn’t that the ultimate proof of his worth?

His eyes flicked to Dane, whose unease brought a smirk to his lips.

“Dane,” Hector said, his tone light yet laced with mockery.

Mistakes have consequences, and you need to learn to face them.” He shrugged casually.

Hector’s expression darkened.

“So you’d rather trust Dane than your own son? Is that it?”

The disappointment in Aldin’s eyes was unmistakable.

He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
