Chapter 331
Chapter 331:
Her fingers drummed lightly against the table, a rhythmic cadence that carried an unspoken message: she held the reins, not him.
Braylen turned his gaze from Janice to Aiden, silently acknowledging the sheer strategic brilliance of the two. Each move they made was calculated, deliberate, and unnervingly effective.
Whether it was Aiden’s calculated schemes or Janice’s precise tactics, their combined efforts left Bart cornered with almost no way out.
Bart’s face was a storm of emotions. His jaw was tight, and his eyes darted everywhere as if scanning for a crack in the impenetrable wall they’d built around him.
Leonie squinted her eyes, her voice dropping to a near whisper. “Bart, do you have any moves left? If not, I quit.”
Bart inhaled deeply, the tension coiling in his frame before he abruptly sank into his chair. A feral grin crept across his face. “Don’t be so hasty! The show isn’t over yet.”
“You have a backup plan?” Leonie arched a skeptical brow, clearly not buying it.
Janice, now safe and sound, and Aiden, poised to claim the ten percent share left by his grandfather, were clearly in the driver’s seat.
Every major shareholder had already declared their stance. On paper, Bart had no leverage left.
Could he be counting on the scattered shares? Leonie frowned. That idea seemed implausible—most of those shares were in her possession. Even if the remainder was consolidated, it wouldn’t tilt the scales in his favor.
“Aiden, Janice, you’ve certainly tested my limits, but I never walk into a battle unprepared. I still have my ace.” Bart leaned forward, his voice laced with frost.
Both Janice and Aiden exchanged a glance, alert at Bart’s widening, ominous smirk.
“Have you heard of Forest Corp?” Bart asked in a low, deep voice. “It’s a rising giant in the business world, backed by both influence and a powerful network. I’ve already sealed a deal with Colson Navarro at Forest Corp.”
He leaned back, his wicked grin stretching further. “I’m selling all my shares in Edwards Group to them. Once Forest Corp gets a foothold, they’ll dominate Edwards Group. Aiden, you may think you’ve won this battle, but I’ll burn everything down before I let you take the victory. If I go down, we all go down.”

Bart’s reckless declaration hit the room like a thunderclap, sending a ripple of unease through the shareholders who had supported him until now. Had he gone mad?
They were in business for profit, not loyalty, not Bart’s vendetta. These were their investments at risk! How could they let that happen?
“Bart, you lunatic!”
“You maniac! Hand back my shares!”
“Ah! You’re going to destroy Edwards Group!”
The room erupted into chaos with their outraged voices.
Forest Corp’s meteoric rise was nothing short of formidable—a juggernaut driven by wealth and unshakable connections.
Its influence now loomed large, threatening the power and prestige of the four major families. The situation took a dire turn when Bart decided to sell all his shares to Forest Corp, leaving a gaping breach in Edwards Group’s defenses. It was an open invitation for Forest Corp to storm in and seize control.
Bart’s laughter rang out, sharp and maniacal. “Feel the panic. Taste the despair. This is the moment Forest Corp takes over Edwards Group!”
Reveling in the chaos he’d sown, he retrieved his phone, slipping one hand into his pocket. “Mr. Navarro, you can come in now.”
He ended the call and turned his gaze to Aiden and Janice, a mocking smirk playing on his lips. “Well, what do you think? Does my trump card make your hearts race?”
Unfazed, Janice reached for her glass, taking a measured sip of water.
