Lucius had recently spoken with Leonardo, requesting permission to put his studies on hold. He was determined to join Palmer Group and start learning the intricacies of the business. With the looming presence of Marcus Bartz, Lucius felt a growing urgency–not only for the future of his siblings but also because he had his own hidden plans.

Plans tied to someone who had long been shaping the company’s trajectory. If Lucius positioned himself as the next CEO candidate, it would undoubtedly be a severe blow to Maximus. Not that Lucius cared.
