Chapter 351: Kaguya’s Legacy
Jasper Reza wasn't always the cocky, privileged man he had become. His childhood was a struggling one with unmet expectations.
When he was young, he remembered playing with whatever makeshift toys he could find, as those were the things that brought about a sense of joy in him. He longed for the day his family's circumstances would change—that they would rise above the poverty and limitations that had shaped his early years.
That day finally arrived, but not in the way he had imagined.
His grandfather's company, the Reza Group, struck big when they discovered oil in their land. This allowed them to expand into new territories, especially in the Middle East.
There, they forged alliances with multibillion-dollar corporations, and suddenly, wealth was no longer a distant dream. The family's fortunes soared, and with it, their influence.
Their wealth was built on oil, but it wasn't just the black gold that made them rich; it was the strategic investments, the acquisitions, and the alliances with banks and big corporations that turned the Reza Group into a titan.
Jasper's childhood faded into a memory and was replaced by a world where money and power dictated everything.
His grandfather, a shrewd man, had become cautious because of it. Especially in his later years when his health started to decline.
The old man had yet to write his will, but everyone knew how he operated. The empire wouldn't go directly to Jasper's father. Instead, it would pass to the next generation—his children's children.
The main issue for Jasper was that he wasn't the only heir; the Reza family had over a dozen princes and princesses eager to take the head. Unless Jasper proved himself worthy, unless he demonstrated he deserved an earlier inheritance, then he would never own the Reza family.
Truth be told, he didn't fond his brothers, sisters, and cousins. They were always out to get him and had even plotted to murder him to eliminate the competition.
