By rights, if they were to change leadership, they''d have to follow a process.


    At least, they should introduce the new president. Yet the new president was directly appointed without any of the proper procedures. No one had even bothered to take the shares from Drake.


    It was all so strange.


    Marion believed the Lowe Group had hidden assets and those behind the scenes held thergest share of hidden interests. To Debra, many things still didn''t add up.


    As the head of the Lowe Group for years, Drake should have known about this. Drake spoke ndly, "When I was adopted by the Lowe family, I was busy cramming financial knowledge. I''m not like Marion. He''s a rich boy from the slums, just there for the experience. I don''t know these things. So, I had to work harder than others. In the beginning, there wasn''t just me as the heir. I was just transferred from overseas to make up the numbers. The Bernard family wanted to get involved with the Lowe family, so they sent some people over. Marion, Robert, and me. Robert didn''t want to go, so he dropped out. I didn''t want to go either. Shawn was dying, and I had a chance of bing the Bernard family heir. Staying would be a better option than fighting for survival in a ce like Orkgate."


    "Then what happened?" Debra asked.


    "Marion tricked me, and I ended up in Orkgate," Drake replied. "A lot of elites were sent there. Some were born rich, and others were financial prodigies. I couldn''t match them in knowledge. But in terms of O ruthlessness, they couldn''t beat me. The old man liked my style and finally selected me to seed him. When I became the heir, I saw someone enter his study."


    "Who was it?" Debra asked.


    "I didn''t see clearly," Drake replied. "Anyone who could be received by the old man wasn''t an ordinary


    person. didn''t care at the time met


    just wanted the old man to hurry up and die, so I could take control of the Lowe family. That night, he died, and I became the new head of the Lowe Group."


    "Was he killed by that person you saw?" Debra asked again.


    "Maybe," Drake replied. "The old man died of a heart attack. Back then, all I cared about was my new role. I didn''t bother investigating. After took over the Lowe Group, I found that Orkgate was a dirty ce. To survive, I had to be dirtier and more ruthless than everyone else. Otherwise, a neer like me would have ended up being chewed up."


    Drake looked at Debra and asked, "Ever heard of animal instinct? Honestly, I''ve suspected that someone is pushing things behind the scenes. But my gut told me not to investigate. Sometimes, it''s better to pretend to be blind than risk your life."
