Dissatisfied Heir My Father Chose My Cousin Over Me

At the company's annual gala, my father prepared to announce his heir.

All eyes turned to me—his biological son, seven years as vice president.

Then he named his nephew, Lucas Gilbert, as the new CEO.

The room erupted.

I stood there shaking. "I've given this company eight years. I'm your son."

"Lucas just graduated—why does he get to be CEO?"

My father's expression didn't flicker. "Because Lucas is better than you. One year of his work surpasses eight of yours."

I froze. Then I threw my head back and laughed—loud, bitter, unhinged.

I knew the real reason.
