c Chapter 43
The party was small and magnificent. Almost all the members of the One Trillion Group was in attendance,
including Sylvie's father.
Sylvie couldn't help but smile upon seeing her father had just beca member of the Group he's always
craved for. Seeing him laugh and mingle with the guests made her have no regret for agreeing to move in with
Kage - even if the guy was a total a***le. She was with Westley the whole time. And when Kage arrived with Lana
she tried as much as possible to keep her distance.
Westley kept introducing her to more members of the Group, and it wasn't hard for Sylvie to blend in with them
as they found her really cheerful and accommodating. It has always been easy for Sylvie to get loved and
accepted by people. Anyway, the more tSylvie spent with these people, the more she realized not all their
smiles and laughters are real. Yes, they may dress in expensive suits and dresses, and at such parties, they
might cwith expensive gifts for the celebrants, but not all of them was genuine. Three was a lot of bad blood
between them - Sylvie realized as she listened to their conversations. There was an hierarchy in the business
world, and one person always wanted what the other had
In this case, she believed the hierarchy was in the base of the One Trillion Group. There were power struggles in
the Group. Sylvie didn't know much, but herinstincts hardly lied to her. She'd need to have a discussion with her
father to be really careful with the way he mingled with the Group members. Westley, on the other hand, had
other things on his mind. He worried about sof the Group members that were still against him.
Over the
the weeks, he'd been working with them, trying to convince them to start up a motion against Kage heading the
current Group project. Kage's
family were the founders of the One Trillion Group, it didn't mean that every single project must be headed by
them. As a matter of face, during the tof Kage's great grandfather, two members had headed two different
projects. And during his late So, there was nothing wrong in them wanting Kage not to lead that very one. If
more than half of the board members could cup with the motion, it'd be done.
Andfather a member - Westley's grandfather - had headed a project
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWestley wanted to head the project by all means. Since the land was taken from him - irrespective of whatever
Kage believed in - he wanted the project to be his. That way, he'd be getting more proceedings, and when the
project is completed and it's fine to give honors, his nwould be listed as the one who | led | the project
He couldn't let it be Kage - no matter what. That was why for the past weeks, he'd been working on buying the
board members over.
The reason he tried sabotaging the building permit and building materials wasn't because he didn't want things
to go on He's only been trying to buy himself more time.
It was very difficult getting the board members on his side as most of them were extremely loyal to Kage. He
wouldn't even call it loyalty, he'd call it a**-leaking. Since Kage was very powerful, they were scared of going
against him and getting on his bad side. They got that Kage could ruin anyone if he wanted-like he was currently
suffering at the moment. Losing his top partners was still a blow he was trying to heal from. And Westley knew
that was only a warning from Kage: he could do more if he wanted. His sister was right - Westley was powerful in
the business world, but not as much as Kage. Out of the thirty-four members, he'd been able to get sixteen on
his side. Those sixteen hadn't willingly agreed to help, but Westley didn't take no for an answer. He'd dug up dirt
on them and had to threaten them with it. They agreed to be his on side, because they didn't have a a choice.
Chapter 43.
But he needed more. The others were still being adamant. But he was still digging up on them and in very little
time, he il be done. Everything would be over, with power handed over to him. His heart raced faster in
excitement from imaginations of how Kage would react when he's forced to step down from leading the project.
He wanted him to know he won.
"So, Westley, is she your girlfriend? Or you teo are just friends?" One of the men suddenly asked when Westley
and Sylvie
stood before the table.
There were six other people on the table, and they'd all been drinking and chatting before Jonas asked the
question. Their smiles widened, as they'd all been eager to know as well. Kage and Lana were on the table
behind them, so he could hear. Westley was also aware he was there.
"To be honest,
you
two look like a couple. We've when talking about it, you know? We'd very much like to confirm," Penelope
chuckled.
Smiling. Westley put a it a hand around Sylvie's waist. "Actually... Sylvie and | are engaged."
They gasped, their eyes beaming with both joy and | surprise.
"Oh, my God! It's even more than | expected!" One of the laughed.
"Oh, wow! This is great news, Westley. You such a brave man."
"And you, Sylvie, you really lucky, you know that? You just got out with Kage, and now it's Westley? | wish | had
such luck in my youth.
lowered her head and smiled. But her heart beat faster, only because she knew Kage was behind them. Of
course, she shouldn't give a shit about him being there and listening, but still.... She tried to feel comfortable,
even with Westley's hand around her waist. Her dress was big and concealed her bump, but he held her, his
fingers grazed it.

He smiled, waved at Westley before leaving.
Sylvie felt goosebumps all over. Paul didn't just cto check on her, he'd slipped a note into her hand when he
