Larry Adams didn’t just talk big, he proved to everyone that he was in charge of The Adams Group now. If anyone couldn’t accept it, they were free to leave. The company wasn’t going to beg them to stay.
In the month that followed, Larry took back every project that had slipped away during Joseph Adams’ reign. Order returned to the company. He shook up the whole setup, changed positions, and cleaned house. Anyone who wasn’t pulling their weight, especially those just riding the coattails of Kimberly Howard and Brian Adams, was shown the door. For years, those two had called the shots, and plenty of people were loyal to them.
Still, Larry wasn’t the type to waste good talent. He didn’t just cut everyone who’d worked for Kimberly. If someone had real skills, he gave them a shot to prove themselves. Many switched sides and became loyal to him instead. As for his own relatives, Larry quietly trimmed their power, which naturally made a few of them grumble.
But before anyone could really complain, Larry’s results spoke for themselves. He brought back old partnerships and landed several huge contracts in Harrisburg. That’s when people realized his time away hadn’t been wasted. A few of the parents whose kids he’d taught in Harrisburg turned out to be big names in business, and the connections he’d made while he was away were paying off now.
With all the new deals, The Adams Group’s value soared. The company became more successful than ever, even outshining the days when Joseph was in charge. Any whispers of doubt faded away and then disappeared completely. Larry had proven himself, both to the people inside the company and to everyone watching from the outside.
It finally hit everyone. Larry Adams was the real deal. The next time they saw him, no one dared look down on him even a little.
Dennis Williams couldn’t pretend to be surprised by any of it. Larry’s style was always quick and decisive. Dennis had always believed in him and knew Larry could hold his own against anyone.
With The Adams Family’s drama finally over, Dennis shifted his focus to a more personal worry: Camila Davis and her lost memories. Both the old Mr. Williams and Jarvis Peters were deeply invested in helping her, but their responsibilities at the research institute kept them busy. Progress was slow.
Meanwhile, Camila had been on leave for days, and it hadn’t gone unnoticed. The higher-ups at the institute were starting to ask questions. Camila was a standout among the new recruits, the kind of talent you only see once in a while. She was better than everyone else put together, so it was only natural that the people in charge paid close attention.
