Chapter 339

The maid shuddered involuntarily, a chill running down her spine as she caught the glint in Kelsey’s eye.

To outsiders, the Glovers family appeared harmonious–a picture–perfect legacy of wealth and power. But beneath that polished veneer lay a grim truth. Maurice, the current head of the Glovers family, had seized his position not by birthright but through blood and betrayal.

Years ago, Maurice rose as the illegitimate son, unexpectedly dismantling the family’s carefully curated hierarchy. Ruthless and calculating, he eliminated both his father and his half -brother. Step by step, he dismantled the legacy they built.

He left nothing to chance, securing his hold over the family within a single year.

With an iron grip, Maurice absorbed every faction under his control, consolidating his power to become the undisputed master of the Glovers family’s empire.

But none of this had earned him his grandmother’s approval.
