80% Of The Plan
After knowing that Amber didn't return to the hotel, they knew that Ashton must have brought her somewhere else. They still didn't know about his room in the office after all.
They just patiently waited for the call. If it was before, Hayley would already be jumping up and down after becoming Jake France's student. But she couldn't find it in her heart to do so.
Not because of the fact that she was taken due to Amber's revenge but because no one still knew what the future may bring. She wanted to be of help to her but what if she don't succeed?
Around 8pm that night, Carl finally came to pick them up. Elloise just let them be for she knew these two are not out to play. She was wondering but she didn't ask.
"Time sure flies so fast, they already look so mature," she lamented as she watched them leave.
Upon entering Ashton's office, everyone was already there, even Jacqueline.
They sat in silence for a good few minutes drinking their own drink waiting for Amber to finally speak up.
"I guess I need to apologize, I actually fell asleep," Amber laughed upon saying this. She didn't expect that after crying she would actually fall asleep.
'Worst of all, I actually didn't know how and why I was in Ashton's bed upon waking up. I just want to bury myself somewhere, it's so embarrassing.'
"Amber we are here, stop talking to yourself," Alissa commented upon seeing Amber fall silent and seeing her eyes change emotions.
That is how they knew she had been talking to herself. Her face may look the same but her eyes were changing in emotions as if she was quarelling to herself.
"Oh, sorry about that," Amber drank from her cup as she laughed.
After putting down her cup she looked up at them with a serious look, "Shall we go down to business?"
"I am going to ask you one last time. Well of course, Ashton is not included, you are my fiance so you are bound to help me *laughs*."
Ashton only raised an eyebrow at her but didn't comment. Aldger was already in a video call with them, since he was also Blake and the other's friend. He was entitled to be there.
Amber looked at each of them before her eyes landed on Jacqueline.
"Oh don't look at me like that, I have vowed that no matter what happens I shall protect you. That is the only way I could face Sarah when we meet again. You're my great goddaughter now," Jacqueline smiled and patted her head.
Though it felt strange Amber felt the warmth coming from him and she could only smile.
"So what's your plan?" he then asked as they all looked at her seriously.
"Just as I said. I will start a company from this country but I am going to ask you Hayley and Alissa, are you willing to leave this place?"
This shock both Hayley and Alissa, it's not that they didn't want but...
"Hayley you don't have to worry, if you become my student. Even without graduating from university, you will still be acknowledged by everyone," Jacqueline understood the look in their eyes and butted in.
"Could I ask for your help? Since that was your country anyway, could you help me enroll Alissa to a school where she can still practice her modelling?"
Amber looked at Ashton upon saying this, she knew Jacqueline could help Alissa get the best training while she still studies.
"I know, I'm asking too much right now. But I vow in my name that I will return all these favors to you and your family."
Seeing her serious look at the same time helpless, Ashton sighed, "We can do something about that."
"Amber, are you telling us to leave Star country?" Alissa asked upon hearing her conditions.
"Yes, if you only start here, it would take longer. But if you start now by the time you reached the goal, I will be there with you."
"But how about mom and the hotel," Hayley couldn't help but ask.
"I can have someone take over it as the acting CEO. And allow your hotel to prosper, who knows it might even expand. All you have to do is be the owner," Devon offered.
Seeing the interaction between Ashton and Amber, he can see that the upcoming years once the plan finally started going, it would be a wonderful show to see.
Even Amber looked at him in surprise, she was planning on hiring another person. But if it comes from under the Parker family, surely it would be better.
"I guess I have so much favors from you once again," Amber replied helplessly.
She was still too weak right now, she had nothing but these people.
"Well, who knows. My family might end up in a very difficult position, by then you might be the only one who could help us," Devon replied while shrugging.
Amber could only smile, 'After all these time, why am I getting all these help now?'
She then looked at Hayley and Alissa, "This might be too much for me to ask. But I promise you I will make sure to pay Fire Empire Hotel for all the things they have done. Will you entrust it to me?"
"Well if it was us, we surely would accept and get all the opportunity we can get to help you. But you still need to talk about this to mom," Hayley replied.
They really have no attachment in this country other than the hotel after all. And leaving this place would be a great opportunity as well.
Amber nodded to this.
"Have you planned everything out? As a whole?" Jacqueline inquired after seeing one agreement being settled.
"In reality, before we met you. I only have 25% of the plan. Creating my own company and start off with that but now, I have atleast 80% of it."
"Can you tell us? I'm itching to know, this is the first time someone is actually planning so much to overturn a royal family," Blake asked in impatience.
"Hughes Empire revolves around Entertainment industry, I would need you to infiltrate that place."
Everyone was stunned, they look at her in bafflement.
Amber grinned, "My plan is simple, I will be a major shareholder on every royal family's main companies."
This plan truly left everyone in the room speechless.
"That is why I know very well that I wouldn't be able to this on my own. After I develop the technology company, it will be time for us to close in, in the entertainment world."
"How do you plan on becoming a major shareholder?"
"Simple, in every company there are small shareholders. We shall be buying those little by little. And in one swift motion, those shares shall land on one hand. Becoming a major shareholder higher than everyone in there."
"That won't be easy, if you just buy, they surely wouldn't sell it," Devon replied being the son of a multi business tycoon.
"Who said it would be easy? That is why we are starting now, instead of the future."
"How do you plan to buy them then?"
"Simple I will create a company big enough to make them want to be a major shareholder there instead. If I become a company that is second only to the royals. They wouldn't lose a thing would they?" Amber replied as she leaned back on her chair.
From being a shareholder of royals to a major share holder of a company second only to royals, seems plausible.
Everyone in the room felt like it was impossible but her aura shows that nothing is impossible as if what she had just said would actually happen.
"That is why I need you to be the best," she then said looking at Hayley and Alissa.
"If under my company, I have the best artists and designers then surely I would attract more and more artists. But handling this company shall fall on aunt Jacqueline's hand. Can you do that for me?"
"I hate it when people act so high in front of me but there will always be exceptions. Fine, my Clover shall be under your company once it starts," Jacqueline replied with a smile.
That's right the company that Amber will start for the entertainment world shall be the same as it, a world. Comprising of every variety, Fashion, Model, Acting, as long as it is in entertainment, it shall fall on her company.
"As for the Cooper Empire, obviously it shall be under me. The technology company I'm building would be for them. As for the Carter Empire, that shall be left for future as well."
"Then how do you plan on becoming a major share holder in Price Empire?" Ashton asked.
"For that family, I can just use my identity. Well I shall leave them for the last."
"Our family? You do know, you only asked us to protect you right?"
"There is another way for that, don't worry I won't implicate you that much. But Price and Wright Empire, will be the last ones."
'That's right, for the Wright Empire, I still need confirmation for the thought in my mind. It may just be speculation but it might also be true.'
