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.

Westley 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.
