Betrayed By Husband, Stolen By Brother In Law

"It’s confirmed. Sir Robert Collins is dead. ABC Estates is floundering, caught in a trap that was perfectly laid by StormEdge. At this point, we can move in and plant our own people inside. It’s the perfect opportunity." A woman rushed into the office as she continued hurriedly, "The only ones left carrying the Collins name are Adam Collins and that young boy he’s adopted—Adir Collins. As for Patrick Collins, he’s also as good as gone. There’s no one left to stand in our way now, brother."

But contrary to the expectations, the man shook his head and instead cautioned his sister, "Don’t get ahead of yourself. Even with Robert Collins out of the picture, we can’t afford to be reckless. We need to move smart, not just fast."

"But why? Look at the facts. The only people left in the Collins family are a child and a man who has no real background in business. He has no connections, no network, no experience. This is the lowest they’ve ever been. The company is vulnerable, the board is shaken, and the family name has lost its power. This is exactly the time to strike, while they’re still reeling. We can make our move for the endgame now."

"I wouldn’t be so sure. Things are rarely as simple as they seem. If you think Adam Collins is harmless just because he’s never run a company before, then you haven’t been paying attention. We need to study him. Closely. Every move he makes."

"Adam? But why him? He’s not even on the radar. He’s nothing more than a side character in the Collins legacy. The one who got lucky."

"That’s what you think. But you need to look deeper. Everyone assumed the same about Sir Robert Collins. They believed Lady Collins was the one in control, the one handling all business matters. And yet, somehow, Robert was involved in nearly every deal ABC Estates ever sealed. He operated behind the curtain, pulled the strings when no one was watching. Now, look at Adam Collins. The competition for succession was always between Spencer and Adam. Sir Collins openly supported Spencer, groomed him as the heir. But who’s left standing now? Not Spencer. Adam. Do you think that’s coincidence?"

"Even Melanie Collins. She was supposedly Spencer’s wife for three years. Most of the people believed that. But instead, she turned around and married Adam and even claimed that they had been the ones together. Isn’t that interesting?"

"You think Adam planned all this?" The woman asked wide eyed.

"I don’t know what he did or didn’t do. That’s the point. He’s been underestimated before by Sir Collins himself, and that’s a mistake we can’t afford to repeat. There’s more to Adam Collins than what’s on the surface. If we’re going to take control of ABC Estates, we need to understand who exactly we’re up against."
