As for the Payne family assets, I could not take a single part of them.
But this company was something Zion, and I built it from nothing, and I had to take what belonged to me.
Not for my own sake, but for the child inside me.
Since I had already decided she would not be born into the Payne family, I needed to lay out every step for her myself.
Her name, assets, and future, I would arrange them one by one for her.
Even if she no longer stayed in the Payne family, she still had to grow up secure and free, never having to rely on anyone’s pity.
After I confirmed the last file, my trusted assistant lowered his voice and asked, “President Morrison, for the project ‘Knowing Me,’ do you want the payout or the project itself?”
I didn’t reply right away.
Instead, I logged into “Knowing Me” again.
When the familiar page showed up, my fingers stopped for a moment.
This ancient-style game, from the world-building to the character design to every story path, was almost completely built during the best years between Zion and me.
Many nights staying awake, many times tearing everything down to redo it, those busy, focused, working-together days had truly existed.
