Chapter 10 - Sebastian Discovers Grandfather Grand Vale's Deepest Family Conspiracy
Sebastian sat across from his grandfather in the dimly lit study of the main Vale estate. The fire crackled softly in the massive stone fireplace, casting long, menacing shadows across the antique bookshelves.
“You engineered the entire separation four years ago, didn't you, Grandfather?” Sebastian asked, his voice deathly quiet. Grand Vale didn't look up from his leather armchair, swirling amber whiskey in an old-fashioned crystal glass.
“I protected our bloodline from a girl who wanted nothing more than our name and our bank accounts,” Grand Vale replied coldly. Sebastian stood up, towering over the old man with a terrifying aura of raw authority.
“She never asked for a single dime of our money; she loved me for who I was, not what I owned,” Sebastian shouted. “And you stole my children, you stole four years of my life, and you turned my entire existence into a lie!”
Grand Vale finally looked up, his faded gray eyes flashing with stubborn, unrepentant pride. “A true Vale doesn't let emotion dictate empire building, Sebastian; you’ll thank me when you’re older,” the patriarch dismissed.

“My empire is burning to the ground starting right now, Grandfather,” Sebastian declared with lethal finality. “I am stepping down as CEO, transferring my shares to Elena and the children, and cutting ties with this toxic dynasty forever.”
The old man dropped his glass, letting expensive whiskey stain the Persian rug as he stared in absolute shock.
