MOST POWERFUL HUSBAND - Season 1 Episode 16

Cheyenne had put her heart and soul into running and establishing the Brilliance Corporation. More than six years ago, her family used the excuse of her pregnancy and ailing health to snatch the Brilliance Corporation away from her. Ever since then, they never returned it to her.

She couldn’t let go of the business she had built and returned to work for the Brilliance Corporation when Amelia was one year old. However, despite years of hard work, she was only given a low-level manager post.

Now that Dominic had offered the Brilliance Corporation as a reward, she was obviously upset. But to her, this was also an opportunity for her to snatch the Brilliance Corporation back rightfully!

Bryce stood up and said to Dominic, “Grandpa, I think reaching a cooperation agreement with the Stardust Corporation is not impossible, even though it might be difficult.”

“Oh? Continue.” Dominic was rather kind toward this grandson of his, whom he valued greatly.

Bryce smiled. “Actually, I’ve already made a lot of preparations long before this. I’ve been going around making connections. Although there isn’t a clear answer yet, I believe there will be soon. However, there are some key people whom we have to give expensive gifts to, so…”

“Go to the finance department to withdraw five hundred thousand for preliminary funding later.” Dominic waved his hand nonchalantly.

Bryce was overjoyed and thanked him profusely.

Cheyenne sneered in her heart.

Her cousin had always been incompetent and boastful, so she knew that it was more likely for him to squander the money on having a good time with his friends, who were bad influences.

“However, I’m afraid that this alone is not enough to establish a cooperation agreement with them. As far as I know, there are countless people who want to get close to the Stardust Corporation in Orange County. There are at least a hundred families and businesses that can offer a few million. We’re just one of them, so why should the Stardust Corporation choose us?”

Dominic stroked his beard and nodded. “Continue, Byrce.”

“Therefore, I propose we find a family that is of comparable status or slightly better than ours and join forces with them. In this way, the chances of success will definitely increase greatly. Once we reach a successful collaboration, we will have a say too, and we won’t have to worry about being kicked to the curb by the other family because we are of the same status.”

“Wonderful! Great idea, Bryce!”

“No wonder you’re valued by Mr. Carter Senior. You’re so thoughtful and comprehensive with your thinking. Not only have you come up with a good idea, the countermeasures you’ve thought of are great too. They’ll prevent us from paving the way for others and getting made use of!”

Dominic nodded profusely, showing his satisfaction toward Bryce.

“Which family should we cooperate with?” someone asked.

Bryce looked at Cheyenne with a strange smile full of bad intentions, making her wary and giving her an ominous premonition.

Bryce pointed directly at Cheyenne and said to everyone, “I know Seth Miller of the JW Corporation has been pursuing Cheyenne. Yesterday, he already made it clear to me that as long as Cheyenne agrees to marry him, the cooperation between us and the Millers will be a sure bet.” He smiled. “What other relationship is closer than marriage?”

Cheyenne’s face instantly paled. She stood up abruptly to refute vehemently, “No!”

Dominic frowned.

Bryce walked toward Cheyenne. “What’s wrong? The Carters became the laughing stock of Orange County because of your scandal. Our reputation was ruined, causing our development to stagnate. If it weren’t for you, we would be one of the richest families in Orange County now! And we wouldn’t have to cooperate with others to fight for cooperating with the Stardust Corporation.

“The sins you’ve committed alone have dragged down the entire family, so shouldn’t you be the one to solve them and make it up to us?” Bryce said with a brazen smile.

The others in the conference room looked like they agreed and thought that this should be the case too.

Cheyenne was filled with misery. She was clearly the victim of that incident back then, and her family had already taken away the Brilliance Corporation, the pillar business of the Carters, from her.

Looking at Dominic anxiously, she asked, “Grandpa, I’ve already been married for a long time. How can I marry Seth Miller again?”

Dominic frowned and looked at Cheyenne with a disapproving gaze in his eyes. “I heard that your live-in husband has returned. Good. Go get a divorce later and marry Seth Miller.”

Not expecting Dominic to make her remarry without hesitation, she felt extremely disappointed. She shook her head and refused, “No, Grandpa. I won’t get a divorce or remarry!”

Bang!

Dominic’s eyes were full of anger as he slammed his hand hard against the table. He shouted, “You’re rebelling! Bryce is right. If it weren’t for you, the Carters would have developed far beyond what we are now, and we wouldn’t have needed this marriage! You should be taking responsibility for this, but you still have the guts to refuse. Do you respect me as the head of the family?!”

“But I was framed and set up back then…” Cheyenne’s eyes were red and full of tears.

“Trust you to have the nerve to mention the events of that year!” Dominic smashed the ashtray on the table onto the ground. He flew into a rage and yelled, “You did such a shameful thing and disgraced the family. In ancient times, you would have been dragged to a pond and drowned by your family!”

Dominic’s sudden loss of anger made everyone in the conference room fall silent.
