Chapter 466:

As the announcement echoed through the room, it instantly electrified the assembly of guests. Saul had impeccably timed his revelation of how the assets would be split. Surrounded by a crowd, those who might object were compelled to mask their discontent in the sea of spectators.

Media representatives crowded around Saul, adjusting their lenses and mics toward him, deliberately excluding Harlee from their coverage.

Harlee’s entrance had been marked by her choice to wear a veil, her signal to the world that she wished to remain unseen by the cameras.

Though the press often chased after the most scandalous tales, they were equally guided by a keen instinct for self-preservation, valuing their safety and their positions above all.

At the main table, Wade’s older brother, Cason Brooks, and Wade, who stood poised on the stage, exchanged bewildered glances. This sudden talk of splitting up the family fortune was news to them both.

Saul cleared his throat, commanding the room’s attention once again.

“Regarding the 65% of the Brooks Group shares I hold, I will be granting 5% to my younger son, Wade. The majority, 60%, will be entrusted to my elder son, Cason.

Furthermore, Brooks Entertainment, which operates under the Brooks Group umbrella, will be established as a standalone entity. Wade will become the sole owner of this venture.”

As Saul’s declarations hung in the air, the room burst into murmurs of shock.

Allocating such a significant portion to Cason was a clear endorsement of his future leadership of the Brooks Group. Someone murmured in disbelief, “I expected a 70-30 split at the very least.

But just 5%? Does Saul really consider Wade his son?”

Through the whirl of reactions, Angela remained a portrait of composure, her face a blank canvas neither colored by joy nor shadowed by disappointment.

Her insight into Saul’s guarded disposition toward her had always been sharp, knowing his demeanor toward her was akin to one reserved for a cunning adversary.

Wade didn’t share Angela’s mindset.

He found Saul’s logic utterly baffling and deemed the allocation shockingly biased.

His composure shattered.

A more reasonable 70-30 or even an 80-20 split could have prevented his features from twisting in dissatisfaction.

Disregarding the decorum of the occasion, Wade voiced his grievances, “Dad, don’t you think this is way too unfair to me?”

Angela, ever his ally, quickly moved to his side, her voice laced with concern.

“Saul, remember, Wade is your son too.

Doesn’t this seem drastically unfair to him?” Lillie’s face contorted with displeasure upon learning her future son-in-law was allotted a mere five percent of the Brooks Group’s shares, despite gaining complete control over Brooks Entertainment.

Adopting the air of a dignified aristocrat, she commented, “Saul, considering the many eyes upon us today, don’t you think this division appears rather skewed?”

From their elevated position on stage, Harlee and Rhys had an unobstructed view of the unfolding drama.

Aside from the few who benefitted, most were visibly agitated.

A mischievous grin played on Harlee’s lips as she subtly slipped into a secluded corner of the stage.

Rolland’s commanding presence reemerged in a moment, reminiscent of his days as the mighty Mr. .
