Chapter 492


    Chapter 492


    After the Seymour family left, Pine Mansion returned to its tranquil state.


    However, the guests’ moods werepletely different from before.


    Rnd, the patriarch of the Rogers family was one of the most influential figures in the business world.


    He was also aplly described as a


    genius.


    Unfortunately, all three of his sons were mediocre in business management.


    His eldest son, Anthony, was slightly better than the other two, but only in terms of character. His


    intuition and shrewdness in conducting business werecking.


    Despite his three sons growing up and working within Soaring Corporation, Rnd still held the reins of


    thepany’s management.


    He never truly relinquished control of Soaring Corporation until his death,


    The third generation of the Rogers family continued to deteriorate, probably due to their privileged


    background and upbringing.


    They were worse than their fathers’ generation.


    Except for Kevan, all of Rnd’s other grandsons ended up being useless yboys and freeloaders


    who mooched off the family’s wealth.


    Rnd’s close friends, who were mostly prominent businessmen, had described Kevan as the one who


    was destined to take over


    Rnd’s position.


    Kevan’s excellence and acumen were unmatched, so much so that Rnd had discreetly informed


    Anthony to groom Kevan as his


    sessor.


    And Kevan did not disappoint


    Even before graduating from university, he fourded Microworks Corporation from scratch and


    developed thepany so rapidly that it expanded to be a rival on Soaring Corporation’s level.


    Everyone thought that Kevan would eventually inherit Soaring Corporation. However, no one could


    expect the series of cmities that


    would befall him.


    Six years ago, Kevan was shot and fell into aa.


    Bernard and Felix’s families gradually built up the r influence within Soaring Corporation, driving out


    Anthony and putting Cody in his


    position.


    At that time, everyone thought that Soaring Corporation was finished.


    Moreover, some of Rnd’s friends visited him personaly and gave him well-mearing advice to employ


    a professional manager to run the


    company.


    it would be a pily if his life’s work were to be destroyed in the hands of his children.


    However, Rnd reassured them calmly. “Everyone has their own lot in life. In another year or two, I


    will be gone and won’t have to witness that happening with my own eyes.”


    Little did anyone know that he would be gone in less than a year.


    It was fortunate that Rnd was unable to witness the chaos caused by Cody at the funeral.


    if he knew, it would have driven him to an early grave!


    Anyone who knew Cody would describe him as a foolish idiot.


    He received poor grades all throughout school andiled to even meet the minimum requirements to


    enter college.


    Finally, Bernard sent him to a third-rate university overseas.


    He barely managed to graduate with a business degree, but Cody prided himself on returning from


    abroad.


    1/2


    Cody eamed a sry higher than 90% of the employees, but he didn’t do any real work


    He spent his days wining and dining with a group of other rich scions.


    His most infamous scandal was when he rented a small ind in a neighboring country for his 25th


    birthday.


    Cody invited a group of third-rate celebrities and models from the entertainment industry to join him and


    his friends for his birthday.


    Under the influence of drugs, a few of the models posted videos that they had taken on Facebook,


    causing an uproar on the Inte.


    The Rogers family’s reputation waspletely tamished and the stock prices of Soaring Corporation


    plummeted.


    Finally, Rnd ruthlessly kicked Bemard and Felix’s families out from the top management in the


    headquarters to save the situation.


    It was not until extensive reforms were initiated within thepany and several major projects were


    launched that the stock prices stabilized and gradually rose back to their initia. levels.


    Everyone thought that after experiencing that catastrophic incident, Cody would turn over a new leaf


    and start afresh.


    Reality proved them wrong.


    Over the years, rumors regarding Cody’s numerous afars with celebrities and influencers never


    stopped.


    In addition, Lana’s words just now confirmed that he was truly rotten to the core.


    Inwardly, everyone had the same thought. “II Cody were to take over Soaring Corporation’s


    management no one would be willing to coborate with thepany ever again.”


    The risk was too great for anyone to beat.


    Atter witnessing the spectacle, Larissa urged her colleagues. “Let’s go.” N?velDrama.Org owns this text.
