She Called Her Grandson a Bastard and Sent Him Tumbling Down the Stairs—Then His Father Found the Hidden Paper
/
Chapter 17 / 30
Chapter 17 - Adrian The sender was Adrian Carter.
Daniel's cousin.
Robert Carter's son.
Adrian had always believed Henry made one fundamental mistake.
He had given too much power to the wrong branch of the family.
Now Noah was approaching eighteen.
Adrian wanted access to the trust.
He approached Noah carefully.
Not with threats.
With questions.
“Do you know what you inherit?”
“Yes.”
“Do you know what you control?”
“Not everything.”
“That's the problem.”
Adrian offered documents.
A proxy.
A plan.
A future.
Noah listened.
But he noticed something.
Adrian talked about Carter Global as though it were a kingdom.
Noah didn't see a kingdom.
He saw thirty-eight thousand employees.
Families.
Factories.
Communities.
