後継者 Romane & Geschichten

Adina and the four children were in the living room playing with jigsaw puzzles on the carpet. The TV was playing a random news channel, and she suddenly heard a familiar name. She raised her head to watch the TV screen. “The war of successors to Jones Group has kicked off. As a large family with a long history, the battle for succession in each generation is ferocious.

Someone born out of a mistake… and hidden from the world.” Liam’s face paled. My breath caught. “What are you talking about?” I asked. She looked at Liam. “Tell her.” Silence.
