The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 37

"I heard the Mcdaniel family's Great Demon King is at this party too. He's up in the private lounge, right?"

"Yeah, but it's not like just anyone can get up there. I'd love to see what he actually looks like; there isn't a single photo of him online."

"That's the confidence of a winner, I guess-doesn't care about being in the spotlight. He's in a whole different league compared to Neville."

"But when the Great Demon King first returned to the Mcdaniel family, you were the one saying he was in terms of resources and skills, that he'd never catch up." way behind Neville

Maeve was just on the other side of a potted plant wall, and it was hard not to overhear their conversation.

Swallowing a bite of cake, she casually asked Bonnie, "Why do they call someone Great Demon King?"

Hearing this, Bonnie immediately perked up.

"As you just heard, the Mcdaniel family has two sons, but the eldest was lost for many years and only found a few years ago.

"I heard that the eldest son had a tough life before he was found. Even though he got into one of the top universities in the country, he couldn't compare to the younger son, who was showered with resources,

"Back then, everyone assumed the younger son would inherit the family business. They thought the eldest didn't stand a chance.

"But Mcdaniel Group's chairman was fair. He set a challenge for his two sons: whoever could multiply the startup funds he gave them by ten within a year would inherit the group."

Bonnie told the story with such flair that Maeve couldn't help but be intrigued. "And then? Did the younger son win like everyone expected?"

Nope. wow!

Bonnie shook her head. "He lost in less than a year."

"The eldest son not only multiplied the funds by ten, but when Mcdaniel Group's supply chain hit some snags, he stepped in with strategies that solved the issues, causing the company's market value to skyrocket. Meanwhile, the younger son, who thought he had a huge lead, looked back only to realize he'd lost everything."
