A Woman Worth Billions Dated the Wrong Brother novel Chapter 203

Fraud

Amber POV

The plan moved forward three days later.

Publicly, it looked brilliant.

Privately, it was a controlled detonation.

Adrian and I appeared together for the first time in weeks during a scheduled investor.conference hosted at one of

my commercial towers overlooking the ocean.

The media reacted exactly as expected.

Questions exploded immediately.

Had the cousins reconciled?

Was Adrian returning to work alongside me?

Were the White and Asher groups preparing a merger?

Neither of us answered directly.

That only fueled the speculation further.

Exactly as planned.

The real announcement came twenty minutes into the conference.

The White company would be acquiring a premium beachfront property location.

At what Adrian described as “a strategic acquisition opportunity unlikely to appear again in the next decade.”

The phrase alone sent investors into a frenzy.

Especially once the images of the property appeared across the massive presentation screens.

Crystal-blue water.

Private marina access.

Luxury commercial development permits.

One of the most desirable coastal projects in the country.

And according to the White company—

They had secured it at an unbelievable price.

The market reacted almost instantly.

Share prices rose aggressively before the conference even ended.

Because unlike months earlier, the White company was no longer seen as unstable.

Adrian had changed that.

In only four months, he had managed what most analysts believed impossible.

He stabilized the company.

Reduced debt.-

Recovered investor confidence.

Restructured failing branches.

The media had practically turned him into a corporate miracle..

And because Adrian had managed to stabilize the White company in barely four months, investors reacted aggressively.

The market trusted him.

Not Samuel White.

Not Oscar.

Adrian.

Which was precisely why the next part worked so perfectly.

Adrian played his role flawlessly during the final section of the conference.

Calm. Professional. Slightly exhausted.

“I’ve spent the last four months focused entirely on rebuilding the company,” he told reporters carefully.

A faint smile crossed his face.

“And while I’m proud of what we achieved…”

He paused.

“I realized something important.”

The room went completely silent.

“I don’t want this life anymore.”

Questions erupted immediately afterward.

“What do you mean?”

“Are you resigning?”

“Who will take over the company?”

Adrian adjusted his cufflinks slowly before answering.

“I’m tired,” he admitted honestly. “Stabilizing the company required everything I had.”

Another pause.

“And now that the company is finally strong again…”

A faint exhale.

“I want peace more than power.”

The statement spread across financial networks within minutes.

Adrian White the man who had rescued the White company in record time-was preparing to retire from executive leadership. 1

Even though Adrian was not the White heir, he had become the public face of the company’s recovery after the Becker fallout nearly destroyed investor confidence.

While Oscar remained the official White heir and Samuel White’s chosen successor, Adrian had been the one handling negotiations, restructuring debt, calming shareholders, and stabilizing operations.

And because the company now looked stronger than it had in years…

Samuel White panicked.

Exactly as expected.

By the next morning, he contacted Adrian privately.

He wanted full control immediately.

The possibility of Adrian leaving while still holding a major percentage of shares terrified him.

Especially now that investors trusted Adrian far more than they trusted the board.

So Samuel White made the offer himself.

He would buy Adrian’s shares personally.

At full market value.

An absurd amount of money.

Jason nearly laughed when Adrian forwarded us the proposal through a secured channel.

“He really thinks he’s winning,” Jason muttered.

“He thinks he’s inheriting a recovered empire,” I corrected calmly.

When in reality-

He was accepting full ownership of everything hidden beneath it.

The transfer happened quietly two days later.

No public scandal.

No visible hostility.

No corporate war.

Adrian publicly announced his retirement from executive management shortly afterward.

The media praised him relentlessly.

The brilliant financial strategist who helped rescue the White company before stepping away from corporate life entirely.

Meanwhile, Oscar White publicly supported the merger alongside his father, fully unaware that the empire they
