Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1333
Lyna was beaming from the praises. âI appreciate the sentiment, but we donât know who's taking
over until my father says so. I canât do anything too drastic just yet,â she said "humbly."
"Oh, you're so modest, Ms. Blackwood. We know you're taking over sooner or later,â one of the
employees buttered her up.
Everyone chimed in, and Lynas smile broadened.
"Wait. Mr. Blackwood has a son, doesn't he?â a newbie blurted out in ignorance.
Everyone threw him weird looks, and Lyna stopped laughing. An awkward silence fell, and the
newbie realized he had spoken out of line. He quickly changed his tune, âUm, I need to use the
restroom.â
With that, he scurried off quickly.
"He's a newbie, Ms. Blackwood. Don't blame him for speaking out of line,â one of the employees
tried to shift the topic.
âHe isn't wrong though. I have a brother. It's obvious who my father's going to hand his estate over
to.â Lyna had a cold, faraway look in her eyes, and a mirthless smile curled her lips.
She had thought about that possibility before, and she had tried to get rid of Winson through that
surgery. However, not only did she fail, she made a new enemy for the inheritanceâHannah.
Winson was a boy. He might be young, but her father still had quite some years left in him. She
knew he'd hand his inheritance to Winson. After Hannah's marriage with Fabian, her father seemed
to like her more and more.
Dad might not even give me anything because of them. That fact infuriated her.
"Donât worry, Ms. Blackwood. You have us. We hold all the data and the clientsâ info. You have our
support, Ms. Blackwood. I'm sure you'll be the chairperson,â the employee promised.
Lyna's eyes gleamed. Good. They know what I'm trying to get at. And then she pretended to look
crestfallen. âI know everyone's supporting me, but I can't fight my own brother for the control of the
company. The media's going to make a joke out of that.â
Lyna couldn't tell anyone she wanted to be Blackwood Group's boss. Her father would guard against
her if he ever found out, and the media would shame them for it.
She didnt think Winson was a threat though. Lyna was confident she could humiliate him when the
time came. All she needed to do was to make sure her trusted aide got into power.
"Ah, I give up. I've been on a losing streak.â Jason tossed the piece back into the box and looked at
Fabian in frustration.
Fabian shook his head. âIt's important to stay calm when playing Go. The moment you're trying to
go for the win is the moment you lose.
Fabian paused. âYou need to see the big picture in Go, just like how you would in life. The pieces are
your resources. You need to have your own ideas and strategize every move. And then, you strike
where your opponent least expected it."
âSeriously, Fabian? It's just a game.â Jason shrugged at him.
"You need to grow at some point.â Fabian shook his head.
âAnyway, I give up.â Jason stood up.
