"Here's the deal," Jordan continued. "Troy doesn't see daylight again—ever. Or you can try to spring him, but then you lose the company. Your other option: announce Kevin as successor, effective immediately. Do that, and I'll let Troy's thing pass."
Norman blinked, mouth half-open.
Jordan rose, the chair legs scraping the floor like a warning. "Don't bother bargaining. Every word I just said comes straight from my wife. She may be the black sheep of the Hayes family, but under my roof, her word is gospel."
Jordan did this to back up his wife, Stella. And he left without another word.
Norman stayed rooted in his seat long after Norman left. Kevin knew the math: disowning Troy would make him head of the Carver empire, but it would also set Norman's wife off like Fourth of July fireworks.
Kevin sipped his coffee, silent, giving the old man room to decide.
Across town, Jordan had barely stepped through his own front door when his assistant jogged up, phone in hand. "Video from the night of the gala, Mr. Erwin. Thought you'd want to see the whole story."
Jordan took the phone, closed his office door, and hit play. The moment Anna's smiling face appeared beside Troy at the entrance, his grip tightened until the case creaked. 'They don't believe Anna's rotten to the core? Fine. Let them watch.'
He posted the clip without hesitation. Within minutes, it was everywhere.
The Hayes family had been in high spirits when news broke about the Carver family's downfall. With Kevin taking over as the new head of the Carver family and Troy facing permanent consequences for his crimes, it seemed like their troubles were finally over.
At first, they'd tried approaching Jordan for help, but he'd coldly shut them out. Clueless about what to do next, they'd even considered liquidating their assets—until Jordan dropped the bombshell exposing Troy's years of wrongdoing, effectively dismantling the Carver empire overnight.
With the Carvers preoccupied by their own crisis, the pressure on the Hayes family miraculously lifted. When the official announcement came, the entire Hayes household assumed their storm had passed.
They were just heading out to celebrate over dinner when an explosive video went viral online, plunging them back into chaos.
Even Eleanor, who'd been idly scrolling through her phone, saw the footage. She emerged from her room, gripping her device, and confronted the three celebrants at the doorway. "Where do you think you're going?"
Fiona turned and nudged Andrew upon seeing Eleanor, silently urging him to handle the situation.
Andrew rubbed his temples. He'd promised his mother they'd take her out, but this time they hadn't even wanted to bring Max along—that ingrate who'd dared accuse Anna of orchestrating the kidnapping. Anna, his own sister!
As Andrew scrambled for an excuse, Eleanor cut in sharply, "Anna, so you're the one who let Troy into your sister's birthday party that night?"
"No! That's not true." Anna's wide eyes darted between Fiona and Andrew. "Mom, Dad, I don't know why Grandma's suddenly attacking me like this. Stella's my sister—how could I ever help Troy hurt her?"
Andrew exhaled impatiently. "Mom, don't listen to Stella's nonsense. That girl's never spoken a word of truth in her life."
"This isn't about Stella," Eleanor snapped, thrusting her phone forward. "It's all right here on video—Anna's betrayal in HD. Still want to deny it?"
'Video? What video?' The color drained from their faces.
