Over the years, he had managed the company almost single-handedly while Osiris
enjoyed the dividends without lifting a finger.
Osiris’s sudden proposal to involve himself in company matters was unsettling to Elton.
Osiris said, “Even though I haven’t been directly involved, the company’s success in
obtaining projects from Blakely Group has been majorly due to Galilea. You are well aware
of this. Without her, our company would still be a small factory.”
Elton felt a sting of betrayal. “Osiris, your words cut deep. The shareholders and I have
toiled for this company’s success. Your statement undermines our efforts.”
In his youth, Osiris was a playboy who cared little about the company.
During the company’s most trying times after their parents’ demise, Osiris provided no

Fortunately, their parents were aware of Osiris’ limited business acumen. Consequently,
they allocated the majority of their shares to Elton, while Osiris only held a small portion.
Although their partnership with Blakely Group was Largely attributed to Galilea, their solid
footing in Mathias’ elite society was due to Elton’s relentless efforts in building
connections and stabilizing the business.
Even if their affiliation with Blakely Group was severed and things took a turn for the
worse, they could still endure.
Osiris, however, attributed all success to his daughter, Galilea.
Osiris was left wanting for more shares. He had attempted to discuss this with Elton, but
his feigned confusion left Osiris feeling slighted and led him to meddle in company
matters.
“I didn’t mean that. All I’m trying to express is Galilea’s significant contributions to our
company. You wouldn’t treat your niece unjustly, would you? Despite her efforts, she’s
without a single share. Does that sound fair to you?”
Elton was aware that Osiris was trying to get some shares.
Rather than engaging in a quarrel with him, Elton simply responded, “You bring up Galilea,
I’m curious about her relationship with Tyrone.
How is that going?”
“It couldn’t be better! Just recently, he threw a grand birthday bash for her. Weren’t you
there?” Osiris retorted with a hint of pride.
Despite his own shortcomings, he had a remarkable daughter. Everyone respected him so

“Are you certain?”
“Why would I have any reason to deceive you?” Osiris shot him a look of contempt.
“Galilea’s future as Mrs. Blakely seems sealed.”
“I beg to differ.”
“What are you implying?” Osiris shot Elton a quick glance. “The two of them being
together is good for us. Even if you’re hesitant about allocating shares to her, there’s no
need to cast a hex on her, is there?”
“I didn’t curse her. I’ll have you know that today, at the club, I bumped into Tyrone, who
was in the company of another woman.”
Osiris looked at him suspiciously. “And who might that be?”
“Sabrina.”
