c Chapter 43

The party was small and magnificent. Almost all the members of the One Trillion Group was in attendance, including Sylvie's father.

Sylvie couldn't help but smile upon seeing her father had just become a member of the Group he's always craved for. Seeing him laugh and mingle with the guests made her have no regret for agreeing to move in with Kage - even if the guy was a total a***le. She was with Westley the whole time. And when Kage arrived with Lana she tried as much as possible to keep her distance.

Westley kept introducing her to more members of the Group, and it wasn't hard for Sylvie to blend in with them as they found her really cheerful and accommodating. It has always been easy for Sylvie to get loved and accepted by people. Anyway, the more time Sylvie spent with these people, the more she realized not all their smiles and laughters are real. Yes, they may dress in expensive suits and dresses, and at such parties, they might come with expensive gifts for the celebrants, but not all of them was genuine. Three was a lot of bad blood between them - Sylvie realized as she listened to their conversations. There was an hierarchy in the business world, and one person always wanted what the other had

She'd need to have a discussion with her father to be really careful with the way he mingled with the Group members. Westley, on the other hand, had other things on his mind. He worried about some of the Group members that were still against him.

Over the

the weeks, he'd been working with them, trying to convince them to start up a motion against Kage heading the current Group project. Kage's

family were the founders of the One Trillion Group, it didn't mean that every single project must be headed by them. As a matter of face, during the time of Kage's great grandfather, two members had headed two different projects. And during his late So, there was nothing wrong in them wanting Kage not to lead that very one. If more than half of the board members could come up with the motion, it'd be done.

Westley wanted to head the project by all means. Since the land was taken from him - irrespective of whatever Kage believed in - he wanted the project to be his. That way, he'd be getting more proceedings, and when the project is completed and it's fine to give honors, his name would be listed as the one who I led I the project
