“She’s the youngest heiress of the Sullivans, right?”

“I heard she was here because she wanted to take over the

company.”

“I’m curious how she would lead. Serra is quite similar to how Chance leads their own positions. They say she’s similar to the oldest of the Sullivans,

Louis.”

In a private party where the shareholders of the company of Sullivan’s empire were fully invited, all of the Sullivans gathered at the front of the stage while the mic was given to Mr. Sullivan as he stood.

The whole place was silent as they were eager to hear the important announcement that night to be made by Mr. Sullivan himself a billionaire-as he proudly spoke.

“Today is a very special event because, finally, the youngest heiress-my little princess-has decided to join us. She has decided to take over her throne, which put me in excitement because this is her first time handling the family business.”

The shareholders-clients and people who were partners with the Sullivans in business-looked so interested as their eyes looked at Ciara, who was comfortably sitting together with her other siblings…

Ciara was wearing her all-black dress coat, and her hair was cascading prettily. She was beside Chance, who kept on whispering things to her while their father was continuously talking

“If someone disagrees with you, fire them immediately. No one should say no when it comes to you,” Chance whispered playfully,

Clara’s expression remained unbothered while her mind was just jumping to her daughter Cara, who’s in the Sullivan household together with her mother.

She finally went home to New York after her Disneyland adventure with her daughter and Chance, who went with her.

Though Paris is really her home which she considered Cara’s place as well-Cara was so curious about her grandparents’ house that she insisted on visiting them or living with them for some time so she could bond with them.

And since Ciara was planning to enter the business years ago, she thinks that it was already the right time to join her siblings in the business.

a clapped.

“Let’s welcome my daughter, Ciara Sullivan,” Mr. Sullivan introduced as everyone

Ciara stood and walked toward her father to give a brief speech too.

“I am really not interested in the family’s business-like how my siblings were interested in it,” Ciara started.

“I am not interested either.” But Dad would smack the s h i t out of me if I didn’t manage it. I’m not that favored by him, unlike you, who’s the most favorite,” Serra commented blatantly. Those who heard laughed as Chance nodded as well, which made it more funny while Mr. Sullivan just chuckled and shook his head.

“Well, yes, my siblings were right. I was the most favorite child-most favored and most spoiled-because they were all willing to let me explore and take different paths compared to my siblings. But I guess it really runs in the blood as a Sullivan to fall into a place where most of us were invested-which is to manage and help the business.”

The important guests the most trusted-started nodding as their l

as their lips stretched for Ciara.

“I don’t know what kind of leadership I’d start in this new environment I’m in.”

“Oh, don’t worry. As I told you, you could fire them if they said no to you. No one dares to disagree with you,” Chance said as he used his mic, which

made everyone laugh.

“You could fire Louis too if he disagrees,” Mr. Sullivan added, which made everyone burst into laughter.

Serra elbowed Louis to let him speak, at least.

“Fire Chance instead,” Louis suggested.

Ciara laughed a little and glanced at the back. Her siblings immediately shut their mouths as Mr. Sullivan gestured to continue. Everyone showed how Ciara held power over them, with just one look, she made them shut up and stop interfering with her speech,Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“As I said,” Ciara continued, “I don’t know what kind of leadership I’d start in this new environment, but I will do my best to be flexible in this company so I can fit in right away, I want a healthy relationship with the board members, and I hope you can trust me as well, like how you’ve given your trust to my other siblings, as I will give you a lot of reasons why I deserve it. Other than that, I may have a little background in managing a business, but that wasn’t enough in this business industry, as I am letting all of you guide me and correct me if needed so I would learn eventually.” Ciara looked at them with a serious face as she saw how they were satisfied by their statement and that it made them a bit shocked that a Sullivan like her was willing to grow in the business where her family is an expert.

Mr. Sullivan nodded proudly while her siblings looked so satisfied and excited. They don’t really care if Ciara makes the company her own playground while she is trying to discover things and change some things according to what pleases her. Though they all know she isn’t that petty, as she is just as rational as Louis, Other than that, they are excited to work with her, and finally, Ciara is just inches away from them compared to the life she built for hersell where she seems so distant from her own family.

It was a long night of events. After the speech, they started eating, and Clara roamed around together with her father so he could introduce her to t sons of the stockholders and shareholders.

Everyone was so invested in getting to know Ciara that they were all trying to score at least a small conversation with her, and some were even intimidated by her cold demeanor because she looked so dominant. But every time she flashed a smile, the air of her superiority would immediately vanish, as she looked like a fallen angel.

None of the news about her being introduced as the youngest daughter of the Sullivan was being broadcast even on the internet, as Gwen strictly monitored everything in the security system so that no one even slipped into their eyes.

Every big and private event of the Sullivan-the reason why it wasn’t leaked to the public or any of the enemies would have an idea about it-is because of Gwen’s security team, whose expertise would dodge all of those attempts to get any information from the Sullivans that would be used by their competitors.

Other than that, the invited ones were afraid to leak information about the Sullivans because they knew the capabilities of the family. It has been tested all over the years that whoever tried to go against them would regret it right away. They might be the most humblo family you would meet, but they were the worst nightmare once you became their enemy.

“Mommy,” Cara whispered when she felt her mother’s presence beside her. She just went home after the event, took a shower, and laid beside her.

“Hmm? Sleep now,” she whispered as Cara snuggled against her.

“How was the playground, mommy?” she asked sleepily.

Ciara chuckled a little. It was Chance who introduced the company as the playground; Cara adopted it, and she was using it too.

“Well, it’s fine,” she whispered.

“You had fun? I’m sure you did,” the answered while still closing her eyes.

Clara smiled and nodded.

“Mommy,” she called again.

“Hmm?” She pressed her lips against her forehead, hugging her daughter, who sebined to be in a daze.

“Are you in a good mood?” She asked.

“I am always in a good mood when I’m with you,” she answered truthfully.

“Is it okay if you talk about my father?” There was pleading in her voice.

Cara was hall asleep as if she were sleeping and talking, Ciara froze a bit, as she didn’t expect she would suddenly ask about her father.

“well” Ciara said, clearing her throat

Cara was already silent, closing her eyes while she looked like she was sleeping.

“He’s smart. Like you,” she whispered as Callum’s face immediately popped into her head.

She saw the little smile Cara gave

“Hmm, also good-looking, of course, Ciara added. “And… has a good heart.”

“Does he hate mommy

Ciara swallowed hard. She remembered how Callum had treated her, and he even abandoned her and chose someone else instead of being by his wife’s

side.

“Well, I know he’s a good man,” she explained carefully, as she did not want to paint a bad impression of Callum in Cara’s mind.

“Does…mommy hate Daddy?” She asked again.

Ciara took some seconds to answer it. She hated what Callum had done to her in the past, but when she moved on, she cut off all of the emotions she

bad for Callum.

“No, not at all,” she replied emptily.
