The family gathered in their father’s office, papers spread across the desk, tension thick in the air. Frank looked at his children with tired eyes. “I built this company for you three,” he said. “But I can’t run it forever. It’s time you decide how to move forward… together.” But “together” wasn’t in the Johnson vocabulary. Linda leaned forward, her voice cutting. “Dad, let’s be honest. I’m the only one qualified to run this place. If we hand it to David, he’ll run it into the ground. And Rachel? She doesn’t even care about the business.” David’s fists tightened. “Qualified?” he snapped. “You sit behind a desk while I’m out there actually doing the work. If anyone deserves to run this company, it’s me.” Rachel rolled her eyes. “Both of you are missing the point. Why fight over a company that’s already sinking? Dad—we should just sell it. Split the money, and move on with our lives.” The room erupted in arguments. Their father sat silently, his hand trembling as he gripped his cane. And then—just as the shouting reached its peak—Frank slammed his fist on the table. “Enough!” he roared. “If you can’t figure this out like family… then I’ll make a decision that none of you are going to like.” The siblings froze. None of them had expected this. But what Frank was about to say next… would change everything. Because in that moment… Frank revealed a plan that would pit his children against each other in a way no one saw coming. Sometimes, the only way to reveal someone’s true character… is to test them. And Frank Johnson was about to test his children in a way they never expected. The room was still tense, the siblings glaring at one another, when Frank took a slow breath. “I’ve made my decision,” he said firmly. “None of you are getting the company. Not yet. If you want to prove you deserve it… you’re going to have to earn it.”
