Chapter 594: Brandon's Final Choice is Ethan

Brandon grabbed the contract and ripped it up with a grin. "Man, the three heirs of the Douglas Group are all top-notch. Makes it tough to pick just one."

Bradley kept his head down, staying quiet, like he already knew Brandon wasn't gonna pick him.

Howard's arrogance had led to his mom's death.

Daniel didn't look too hot either, probably still messed up over Howard's drama and the whole illegitimate kid thing, lost in his own thoughts.

Daniel was thinking Ethan must have hated him so much as he hated Bradley now. Ethan was the kid from the first wife, the real heir to the Douglas Group.

Thanks to Claire and Howard, Ethan lost his mom and his home.

Just days after his mom died, Howard couldn't wait to marry Claire, didn't even bother to fake it.

When Howard married Claire, he brought Lisa and Daniel into the Douglas family.

At first, Daniel and Lisa were all cautious and scared around Ethan, not wanting to piss him off. But over time, they got comfy and started acting like it was their own place.

Daniel tried to get along with Ethan, but Ethan just looked down on him. Daniel thought it was 'cause he was an illegitimate kid, but later he realized Ethan was just heartbroken and disappointed.

The dad Daniel had looked up to for years suddenly brought in another illegitimate kid, praising Bradley the way Daniel had never seen before.

That hurt Daniel bad, making him feel like it didn't matter who Brandon picked.

But Claire was different. She looked at Howard with resentment, and they fought in private, hurting each other deeply, while keeping up a fake front in public. They each had dirt on the other.

"Everyone at the Douglas Group has seen how hard Daniel's worked and how much he's contributed, with achievements and projects just as good as anyone else's," Claire bragged, trying to make her son look even better.

In the past, Daniel might've felt proud hearing Claire praise him, but now, it just felt like
