Of all her sons, Rosaline loved the youngest best. It had always pissed her off that Dawson Sand’s will left the head of the family title to Ethan.
She’d been forced to watch Ethan sit in that chair, but she never accepted it. She spent all her time looking for a way to trip him up and push him out.
Lana was the one who came up with this plan, and it was working perfectly. The idea of Ethan finally quitting so her precious Robert could take over made Rosaline’s face light up with a nasty, smug grin.
Ethan took the transfer papers and looked them over. Before he could even open his mouth, Robert Sand shoved a pen at him.
“Ethan, you already agreed to Mom’s deal. Sign it. I need to be ready for the board meeting tomorrow so they can announce me as the new CEO.”
When Rosaline told him Ethan was stepping down, Robert couldn’t believe it. With the CEO title, he could finally pay off his massive gambling debts.
Rosaline had no idea he was a degenerate gambler. If she knew, she wouldn’t be so desperate to give him the company.
Ethan didn’t take the pen. He looked straight at Rosaline. “Mom, I’m not handing the con to Robert. I won’t do it.”
Everyone knew Robert was a spoiled brat. Dawson had him late in life and completely ruined him. His older brothers pampered him too. Growing up, if he didn’t get his way for even a second, he’d scream and curse at them.
As an adult, he spent his life in clubs. Ethan had even heard rumors that Robert was living in the casinos lately. A guy who only knew how to party and gamble couldn’t handle a corporation.
Robert lost it and punched Ethan in the face. “Who do you think you’re talking to? I respect you because I’m being nice. Don’t push me. If Dad hadn’t died when I was a kid, you never would’ve had that seat. Know your place. Mom said I’m the next CEO, so sign the paper or I’ll beat you until you do,”
As the youngest of the family, Robert was used to getting his way. He loved the high lite, though he kept his dirtier habits secret.
He’d started gambling a few months ago when he was short on cash. A friend told him it was
