“Wait-does that mean Michael’s financial report was fake?”
“What the hell is going on? Who are we supposed to believe?”
Holding the reports, the executives were visibly shaken. Some turned toward Kingsley, while others darted uneasy glances at Michael.
Tiana’s voice dropped into a sharp tone. “Mr. Chapman, explain this right now.” Marcus shot Michael a cold look before responding. “Mrs. Rhodes, perhaps you’ve forgotten… I am the director of the Pharmaceutical Division. When it comes to revenue reports, my data is the only official and accurate record!”
He continued, “Now, let me tell everyone the truth. Michael’s three pharmaceutical products were developed by Bane. In the past seven days, their total revenue was… less than one million dollars.”
Michael’s face twisted with rage. “That’s bullshit!”
Marcus smirked but did not even bother looking at him. He simply said, “What you all just saw were actually the sales figures for Mr. Baldwin’s two products. That was the real weekly revenue report.
“And after bringing in Master Shiloh as the brand ambassador, sales skyrocketed even more. The 100 million dollars weekly revenue was entirely thanks to Ms. Rhodes and Mr. Loyd. It had absolutely nothing to do with Mr. Rhodes.”
Tiana frowned. “Mr. Chapman, clarify this imm?diately.”
Michael exploded. “Aunt Tiana, there’s no need to listen to this nonsense! Marcus is just Kingsley’s lapdog- they’re conspiring to deceive us!”
Tiana’s voice turned cold. “Everyone sit down. I want the truth.”
Marcus let out a small laugh before turning to the room. He explained, “It’s quite simple. Mr. Baldwin’s two best-

selling pharmaceuticals were also registered under Rhodes Pharmaceuticals for distribution.
“So, when revenue reports were compiled, his and Mr. Rhodes’ products were all lumped together under the same division’s financial summary. He saw the num. He assumed all the profits came from his products and got excited. But in reality, his three products couldn’t even come close to Mr. Baldwin’s two bestsellers.”
The room fell into dead silence.
Tiana clenched the report in her hands, her expression shifting as countless thoughts raced through her mind.
Everyone else wore different reactions on their faces.
Michael’s cronies looked like they had just swallowed a truckload of dirt.
Meanwhile, the other department heads were stunned, their eyes locked on Kingsley. No one had expected his two products to perform so well.
A moment ago, they had been celebrating the wrong person
The real winner in the room was not Michael. It was Kingsley-calm, silent, and unshaken, as if he had been in control the entire time.
Kingsley spoke in an even tone. “Let me give you all a simple example to clear up this confusion once and for all.”
Kingsley explained, “Michael’s so-called ‘miracle products are like a homeless man under a bridge in Jayrodale- his pockets hold barely a few bucks, yet he thinks he’s a billionaire.
“But my two products? The revenue they generated is like Marvin’s wealth- dominating, undeniable, and known across the financial world. And when you put these two together-one beggar, one tycoon-you get Michael’s financial report.
“It looks impressive, but in reality, his part in it is just a couple of crumpled bills. Yet here he is, strutting around like his products are a massive hit, completely unaware that he’s just riding on the success of my products to put on this ridiculous show.”
The room erupted into laughter.
Even Lauren, whose mood had been at rock bottom, could not help but giggle at Kingsley’s sharp wit.
Michael’s face darkened with rage, his eyes burning with fury. “Kingsley, you always have some smartass comeback! Then tell me how do you know that your so-called miracle drugs aren’t the real garbage here, while my products are the true game-changers?”
Kingsley smirked. “I knew you’d ask that. Mr. Chapman, show him the proof.” Marcus did not waste any time.
With a few swift keystrokes on his laptop, a large chunk of funds of 100 million dollars suddenly drained from the Rhodes Corporation Pharmaceutical Division’s main account.
Tiana immediately received an alert on her device, her face darkening. “Mr. Chapman, what the hell do you think you’re doing? You do not have the authority to move company funds!”
Marcus shook his head. “Mrs. Rhodes, I don’t have the authority to move company assets. What I transferred just now was the revenue generated by Mr. Baldwin’s two pharmaceuticals over the past seven days.”
Tiana’s already grim expression turned even colder. Her eyes locked onto Kingsley as realization dawned. “So that’s what you were planning all along. You secretly set up a separate sub-account under the main financial system, didn’t you?”
Kingsley remained unfazed. “I had to. I was worried you might try something reckless. And clearly, I was right to be cautious.”
Marcus cleared his throat and raised his voice. “Mr. Rhodes, are you seeing this now? Now that we’ve moved Mr. Baldwin’s revenue out of the main account… take a look at what’s left. Just one million dollars-dry as dust.”
He added, “Tsk, tsk. Your products barely covered their own manufacturing costs. So tell me, what exactly are you planning to use to compete with Ms. Rhodes and MBaldwin?”
Michael sat there, silent. There was nothing left to say, and his mind spun in chaos, but his fury and frustration only grew stronger.
He thought, ‘What the hell? How has things turned out like this?’ He had been celebrating his so-called victory just moments ago, but it was all a joke.
“Mr. Baldwin… Ms. Rhodes… you were the true masterminds behind this success!”
There’s no doubt about it-when it comes to the CEO position, you two are the rightful winners!”
“We support Mr. Baldwin and Ms. Rhodes! Rhodes Corporation has been filled with corruption for too long-it’s time for justice to be served!”
No one paid attention to Michael anymore, especially not the executives who actually cared about the company’s future. At that
.n moment, they all turned their eyes to Kingsley-filled with admiration and respect.
If Michael had not been a Rhodes family member, they would have abandoned him in a heartbeat. It was all so ridiculous.
No matter how one looked at it, Michael could never measure up to Kingsley. As for Lauren, everyone had seen her abilities with their own eyes.
“Laure
Kingsley gently squeezed Lauren’s hand, giving her a reassuring smile. I told you-I’d make sure you got the fairness and justice you deserved.”
Lauren nodded firmly, holding back tears. “Thank you, Dr. Baldwin.”.
Kingsley turned his gaze to Tiana and smirked. “Mrs. Rhodes, if you don’t mind- how about making that CEO announcement one more time?”
Tiana’s expression remained cold as she gritted her teeth, saying nothing. She was completely cornered.
Michael roared, “Kingsley, are you deaf? Didn’t you hear Aunt Tiana already announce me as the new CEO?”
Kingsley let out a mocking laugh. “Michael, it’s broad daylight, and you’re already dreaming. Do your parents know about this delusion? Besides, what makes you think you deserve to be CEO? You lost the bet.
“You pranced around in lingerie, pretending to be some kind of drag queen, and that humiliating video is still making rounds on the internet. Doesn’t anyone think it would be a huge embarrassment for Rhodes Corporation to have someone like that as its CEO?”
Marcus was the first to step up. “That’s right. From every perspective, Ms. Rhodes is the rightful CEO.”
Another executive spoke up. “Mrs. Rhodes, Mr. Baldwin and Ms. Rhodes have done too much for this company. You must handle this fairly.”
“Mrs. Rhodes, we fully support Ms. Rhodes and Mr. Baldwin-please do the right thing!”
“I only recognize Ms. Rhodes as CEO. Anyone else? Not happening!”
Tiana’s anger boiled beneath the surface. Kingsley had barely been at Rhodes Corporation, yet with sheer power and ability, he had already won over so many people.
At this rate, was she even really in charge anymore?
Would Rhodes Corporation even belong to the Rhodes family much longer?
Michael’s voice grew frantic. “Aunt Tiana, I don’t care! If you don’t give me the CEO position, you won’t like the consequences!”
His eyes burned with jealousy and rage, his entire expression twisting into something almost rabid.
Tiana snapped, her tone laced with venom. “You little brat, are you threatening me?”
Michael’s smirk was sharp and condescending. “I would never threaten you, Aunt Tiana. I’m just reminding you to think carefully before doing something stupid.” Kingsley narrowed his eyes as Michael had finally dropped the act. It seemed like his father, Kenny, had given him a lot of confidence.
The question was-how would Tiana balance this?
Just then, Tiana let out a sharp huff and commanded, “Everyone, silence!”
Immediately, the room fell quiet. No matter how much people doubted her, the Iron Lady still had authority.
Tiana scanned the room and then announced, “The final decision for CEO is as follows-as per our prior agreement, the winner is Lauren.”
She made the declaration swiftly and decisively.
Kingsley was genuinely surprised. He had expected her to fold under the pressure of Michael’s threats. Yet, she had chosen to do the right thing and give Lauren what she had earned.
Applause erupted across the conference room. Except for Michael and his lackeys, everyone genuinely celebrated for Lauren.
Eunice beamed with joy. “Ms. Rhodes, you did it! You won!”
Marcus let out a deep sigh of relief and nodded. “Congratulations, Ms. Rhodes. And congratulations to you too, Mr. Baldwin!”
Lauren, overwhelmed with gratitude and emotion, suddenly threw herself into Kingsley’s arms. “Thank you, Dr. Baldwin!”
Tears welled up in her eyes as she clung to him. After so much struggle and effort, she had finally won the freedom she had been fighting for.
Kingsley inhaled the soft scent of her hair, his voice filled with warmth. “You don’t need to thank me. I wanted to do this for you. As long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters.”
He did not notice how Tiana’s eyes flickered with amusement as she watched him and Lauren embrace.
Michael, who had been silent for a few seconds, suddenly let out a vicious snarl.
“Everyone better not move a muscle! Anyone who moves-dies!”
Seeing Lauren in Kingsley’s arms, crying tears of joy-watching as everyone rushed forward to congratulate them-Michael knew it was over, and the tide had turned against him.
However, he had not lost yet because he had prepared a backup plan long ago. If he could not win fair and square, he would take power by force.
“Mr. Rhodes, what the hell are you doing?”
“Did you just say you’ll kill anyone who moves? What a joke.”
“You can’t win, so now you’re throwing a tantrum? Mr. Rhodes, I never thought you’d stoop this low.”
Disgusted by Michael’s behavior, several senior executives finally spoke up, openly reprimanding him.
Lauren stepped out of Kingsley’s embrace, her voice sharp. “Michael, I strongly suggest you don’t do something stupid.”
Michael’s face twisted with pure hatred. He pointed a shaking finger first at Lauren, then at Kingsley.
“You two… you two bastards,” he snarled. “I swear, I’ve wanted to get rid of you for so long. Everything… everything is because of you! Kingsley, you might think you’re invincible, but today, I’m going to prove that you’re just as mortal as the rest of us!”
As soon as his words fell, the conference room doors slammed open. Bane, his face dark and menacing, stormed in with a squad of men right behind him.
