Denton nodded in agreement. \u201cOnce I officially take over the company, I\u2019ll hand the authority to Savannah first and let her clean things up for me. When I come back, I\u2019ll take over again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Savannah and Ernest both nodded in satisfaction.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton\u2019s performance had clearly pleased Savannah and Ernest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The two of them began racking their brains to help Denton seize power.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton was doing his part, too. As soon as he got the slightest bit of authority, he immediately aimed at the people Curtis had left behind, firing several key mid\u2013level managers from critical positions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDenton is just a punk kid who doesn\u2019t know anything. If the Lincoln Group ends up in his hands, it\u2019s only a matter of time before the whole place collapses!\u201d During a senior management meeting, people had already started openly attacking him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lincoln Group was in turmoil, and everyone felt on edge.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDenton is the successor personally appointed by Mr. Harold. Talking like this\u2014are you trying to rebel?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIs that how you repay everything Mr. Harold invested in you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Senior management was split into two camps\u2013one supporting Denton, the other insisting he wasn\u2019t fit to shoulder such responsibility.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBack when Mr. Curtis was still around, he said Denton could take over the Lincoln Group, but only when he was truly ready.\u201d Someone raised a perfectly reasonable concern.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCurtis is dead! And even if he were alive, he would\u2019ve been kicked out long ago. Why should we still listen to him?\u201d Savannah strode in, voice low and sharp. \u201cDenton is the sole heir. Whether you want to give up power or not, you\u2019re going to.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With that icy declaration, Savannah had Denton sit at the head of the table.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton sat down without saying a word, letting Savannah do all the talking for him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDuring the time Denton\u2019s been in school, I\u2019ve been directly involved in managing the company, Savannah said, looking around the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment those words fell, the people Curtis had left behind exploded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Letting a butler\u2019s daughter into management\u2013this was unheard of.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBack then, Mr. Harold cultivated your whole group of students to assist the management, not to be the management!\u201d Someone shot to their feet in anger. \u201cThis is ridiculous! If Mr. Curtis insists on doing this, then I\u2019ll have no choice but to resign!\u201d (1\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUsing your resignation to threaten us? Great, go right ahead. HR, give Mr. Morant an extra six months\u2018 salary when he leaves!\u201d Denton stood up, speaking in Savannah\u2019s defense.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At this point he was already a useless, incompetent puppet who couldn\u2019t hold anything together in\u00a0<\/p>\n
everyone\u2019s eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as he said that, several senior executives slammed the table and stormed out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the end, only Savannah\u2019s people were left in the conference room, laughing as they voiced their support. \u201cBravo, Mr. Denton\u2013new boss, new broom. Chase them all out, and this company will finally be quiet.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton gave a small nod. \u201cSavannah, I\u2019ll leave the company to you for now. When I come back from abroad, I\u2019ll take it over again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Savannah nodded. \u201cJust focus on your studies. I\u2019ve got things handled here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton sneezed, and his complexion looked off.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGot a cold?\u201d Savannah asked with feigned concern.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton nodded. \u201cMaybe. I\u2019ve had a bit of a fever since yesterday.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Inside, Savannah was overjoyed. Clearly, Denton had been infected with HIV by Lily\u2014these were the early symptoms.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGet some rest,\u201d Savannah said gently.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton nodded again. \u201cSavannah, I\u2019ll head back first. I promised to take Lily shopping today.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGo on then.\u201d Savannah nodded with a smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as Denton left, a few of the executives started laughing and congratulating Savannah. \u201cCongratulations, congratulations\u2013Lincoln Group is finally in your hands, and you\u2019ve wiped out all the remnants Curtis left behind.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Savannah sat proudly in the CEO\u2019s chair, leaning back and looking over everyone. \u201cFrom now on, we look out for each other and do a good job.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
From outside the door, Ernest walked in.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Today, he\u2019d abandoned his usual butler\u2019s outfit and was in a sharp suit, looking every bit like a man of\u00a0<\/p>\n
status.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Feron.\u201d The executives all stood respectfull him with polite smiles.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even Savannah was stunned for a moment. \u201cDad\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ernest walked over and motioned for her to stand\u00a0<\/p>\n
Savannah reluctantly rose to her feet, and Ernest sat down in the CEO\u2019s chair instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His tone was mild. \u201cDid you really think you could take control of Lincoln Group from Denton so smoothly without all the years I\u2019ve spent laying the groundwork?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Savannah was stunned for a long time. She thought she was playing the game, but it turned out she was\u00a0<\/p>\n
just a pawn.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Except this particular oriole was her own father.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDad\u2026 you\u2019re getting old. You should be enjoying your retirement at home. Let me handle everything from here on,\u201d Savannah tried to persuade him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHmph. You\u2019re still too young.\u201d Ernest had no intention of letting her be the one in charge. \u201cOnce we\u2019ve taken the shares from Denton and turned Lincoln Group completely into ours, we\u2019ll discuss about handing it to you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Savannah was unwilling, but she swallowed it down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This wasn\u2019t the time to fight over who got to be CEO of Lincoln Group.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lincoln Estate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Denton and Lily came back from outside, Ernest and Savannah had just returned as well, and Savannah\u2019s face was sour.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m flying abroad tomorrow. You have to take care of yourself, and remember to text me when you can, okay?\u201d Denton said softly, comforting Lily.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lily nodded, aggrieved.\u00a0<\/p>\n
