My dad stared at them, his face a mask of betrayal.
“I’m the majority shareholder. I am pressing charges.”
Desmond laughed.
“Not for long! Our shares, plus what we bought when the public started panic–selling… we’re at 40%!”
“And we just found the person who holds the last 10%! We’ve offered them triple the market price!”
“As soon as that deal goes through… we’ll have 50%! You can pack your bags, Frank!”
My heart stopped. They actually did it?
My dad is going to lose everything?
But my dad remained calm. “Desmond. Jordan. Vivian. I brought you all up from nothing. I gave you shares in my company.”
“And this is how you thank me?”
Jordan snapped first.
“You think you’re so great? My family always said I was just riding your coattails! Now I’ll show
them!”
The others echoed his resentment.
Ungrateful bastards!
Desmond’s phone rang. He smirked.
“That’s the rep for the 10% shareholder now. Get ready to be unemployed, Frank.”
My dad just watched him.
“Hello? Yes… The identity is confirmed? Elena? But she’s deceased…”
“The shares were left to her daughter? What’s her name?”

Desmond’s face fell. “Evelyn… Kael?”
Shock rippled through the room. Me?
My dad looked coldly at the traitors.
“I gifted 10% of my company to my wife.”
“Upon her death, those shares passed to our daughter. Her stake is larger than any single one of
yours. Do you understand now?”
Stella collapsed.
The police arrested her and all the other shareholders.
The investigation took a month.
It turned out Stella had approached them the very first day, after she found out who I was. Their
plan was to oust my dad while he was trapped overseas.
The verdict came down hard. 20-40 years for the shareholders.
For Stella, the mastermind, it was 45 years to life, no possibility of parole.
From college straight to a life sentence.
My fight against them went viral. The headlines read:
[Kael Heiress Saves Father’s Empire!]
They called my move a “Queen Gambit.” Kael Corp’s stock soared to new heights.
Back on campus, Stella’s old cronies tried to suck up to me.
“Stella totally tricked us! We’re cool, right, Evelyn? Rich people don’t hold grudges!”
I just smiled, a cold, sharp smile.
“Oh, I’m rich, alright. But I absolutely hold grudges.”
“You speak to me again, and you’ll find out the hard way just how long I can hold one.”
They practically tripped over themselves running away.

Leaning back in my dorm room, watching the sunset, I smiled.
Four years of peace. It’s just the beginning.
