The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 16

As it was about the Nelson Group's big crisis, the whole Nelson family arrived in style, with three sleek Mercedes surrounding a flashy Bentley that caught everyone's attention. "Wow, this building is actually Yonder Digital's..." Yvette whispered, her eyes wide. She didn't come to the Central Business District often, but she had spotted the iconic twin towers during her shopping trips. She had thought they belonged to one of the four great families, but it turned out they were tied to Yonder Digital. Cody stepped out of the Bentley, gazing up at the towering skyscraper with a serious look on his face.

Yonder Digital was new but quickly becoming a major player in the business world. Their rise was impressive-almost unstoppable. They weren't just flush with cash; they had cutting-edge tech that no one else had, which put them way ahead of their competitors. If the Nelson family could partner up with a powerhouse like that, it would be a huge win. But if it fell into the wrong hands -say, a competitor's-they'd be in deep trouble.

Feeling the pressure, Cody turned to Yvette with a stern expression. "We're counting on you today."

Yvette

nodded confidently. "Don't

Good!" Cody replied, satisfied worry, Dad. I'll do everything I can to make the collaboration happen with Yonder Digital."

Then the Nelson family marched into the building with resolve.

Mitchell strode towards the front desk, acting like he owned the place. "We need to see the chairman."

The receptionist replied coolly, "It needs an appointment."

Mitchell was fuming. "Do you even know who we are? The chairman and CEO of Nelson Group are right here!"

The receptionist shook her head. "Sorry, but everyone needs an appointment."

"You!"

Chill

I out, Mitchell. The company has rules, and the employees can't just make decisions on their own," Yvette interrupted, stepping forward smoothly. She pulled out a text message from the day before. "We're here for the designer interview." The receptionist replied, "The interview is on the 18th floor."

Yvette smiled warmly, leading Cody and the others toward the elevator.

On the 100th floor, the office had a breathtaking view. Floor-to-ceiling curved windows let people there see the bustling city of Crescentville. Shakira sat back in the chairman's chair, her icy gaze fixed on a computer screen showing the smiling Nelson family. Sean leaned casually against the desk, shaking his head. "Do they really think this is Nelson Group? Trying to boss our staff around and use the executive elevator? How ridiculous!"

He then chuckled mischievously. "What if the Nelsons came up here and saw you in the chairman's seat? Do you think they'd start begging for mercy?"

scoffed. She knew them too well-they'd only yell at her for acting wildly. She stood up and
