Elora said, "The Ormond family is full of daughters, and my two younger brothers are only seven and six. They're
too young to take on the responsibilities of the family. Big families with their eyes on us see an opportunity-they
either attack us openly or schin the shadows. I've been running the family business for years now, and I've
experienced both the warmth and coldness of people, as well as the darker sides of human nature. Even our own
relatives hope for our downfall so they can carve up the family's assets." When Elora first took over the business,
the older generation-relatives and so-called friends from her grandparents' and parents’ circles-did everything
they could to sabotage her. They plotted against her, tripped her up at every turn, and manipulated her in
countless ways. They saw her as an easy target, someone they could take advantage of. They didn't want her to
gain control of the Ormond family business, let alone establish her authority. Seven conspired with outsiders
to undermine her in the corporate world.

She suffered countless losses, endured relentless schemes, and faced several "accidents" that nearly cost her
life. It wasn't until she stared death in the face multiple times that she truly understood the depths of human
cruelty. From then on, she resolved to protect herself by becoming colder, tougher, and more calculated. Taking
over her family's business felt less like running a company and more like fighting for a throne. Like emperors of
old, she had to claw her way to the top-and then defend her position fiercely.
It was exhausting, both physically and emotionally. She felt disappointment and weariness, but she endured. And
now, after everything, the Ormond family business was firmly in her hands.
The relatives and "friends" who once betrayed her had paid the price. Those who plotted against her were
ruined-living lives worse than stray dogs. Sfled Annenburg entirely, cutting off contact in a desperate
attempt to protect what little they had left. As for the ones who tried to take her life? They were rotting in prison.
"Don't underestimatejust because I'm a woman," Elora said with steel in her voice. "The family | grew up in
taughtto be as ruthless as | needed to be. Showing kindness to enemies is cruelty to yourself. And | have no
intention of being cruel to myself." She never spared those who harmed her-not when they begged for mercy,
and not when they sent others to plead on their behalf. Elora wasn't a saint, and she never pretended to be one.
"People in my position can't afford to be saints," she continued. "If you're too soft, you'll destroy yourself. I've
had to be ruthless. It's the only way to make others think twice before targetingor coveting the Ormond
family's assets."
Yes, most of her generation in the Ormond family were women. But daughters were just as capable of carrying
on the family legacy as sons.
The worst of her relatives used to argue that daughters shouldn't inherit or take over the family business
because they would eventually marry and leave.
"Get out of here with that nonsense," Elora said with a sharp edge. "Who are they to tellhow to run my
family?"
Tatum chimed in, his tone somber. "It doesn't matter who you are or what family you cfrom-if you're not
strong, you'll be trampled on. The world isn't fair. It's survival of the fittest." "My grandmother always told us that
wealth rarely lasts beyond three generations. She dedicated herself to raising my brothers andto be strong
and capable. Our York family has managed to sustain its fortune for generations, but that's only because we've
worked hard to protect the foundation our ancestors built."
"But nothing lasts forever," Tatum continued. "Even the biggest companies face the risk of being left behind. The
world is changing so fast, and industries are becoming saturated. Sometimes, it's not about failing to protect
your legacy-it's about being overtaken by the times.
Sure, we can try to adapt, but successful transformations are rare. And the stakes are enormous. If York
Corporation were to go under, nearly 100,000 people would lose their jobs.
Many of them have been with us for 10, 20 years or more. They're older now, with aging parents and young
children to support. Losing their jobs would devastate their lives." Tatum's voice softened, a hint of weariness
creeping in. "People in power carry a heavy burden. The pressures and worries never go away."
