Stewart Corporation

Lincoln was noticeably absent from the company's morning meeting, and the family's eldest branch wasted no time in using this as a chance to give Lincoln's assistant, Greta, a harsh talking-to: "Ms. Nellie, your CEO has barely started and hasn't made any contributions to the company yet. Now he's absent without explanation. How can such lack of discipline set a good example for the employees?"

Greta, eager to make a name for herself and hoping to catch Lincoln's eye, mustered up her courage. "Mr. Howard, emergencies come up. Our CEO had a family emergency and couldn't make it to the meeting. He asked me to explain the situation to all the shareholders. I hope you can understand."

Regan didn't push the matter further. "If the second branch is dealing with family issues, let's not assign him any tasks for now. Let him focus on his family."

Greta was left at a loss for words.

After the meeting, Dean and his son, along with a few trusted allies, huddled in the office to strategize. "Luck seems to be on our side. Vivian is caught up in heartbreak and is dealing with severe depression. Lincoln is too busy with his daughter's problems to compete with us for resources. Tyson, Ashley, now's your chance. Secure as many contracts as you can while the second branch is distracted."

Dean and Ashley were full of confidence. "We're on it."
