Grandpa Travis is holding his granddaughter for the first time and has decided to name her Caroline

Welcome to the world, Caroline Dahlia Chapman. Lets get you home, Granddaughter. With joy, the Chapmans welcomed a new member to the family.

7th March 2002, Thursday 5:30 pm,

A piece of dreadful news entered the Chapman Mansion

The news stated that the only son of the Agribusiness tycoon, Mr. Travis Chapman, had died in a car crash near a bridge on the Mississippi River.

Reports show that Mr. and Mrs. chapman has gone for a charity event and on the way back their car lost control causing it to crash in the nearest bridge wall. They died on the spot due to major head injuries.

Hearing the news of their only son's death, Travis had a heart break but decided to take care of his beautiful little granddaughter and declare her as his successor.

The legal guardians of Caroline were her grandfather and grandmother. Also, being the only successor of the family, all the properties that her father owned were now transferred to her, and she would be legally the owner of them after her grandpas retirement/death or after she turned 20, whatever took place first.

Years passed by, and Caroline grew up into a fine lady under her grandmas guidance.

As soon as she entered her 20th year, her grandpa Travis let her into the business and started teaching her about the work. By the time she was 21, she had learned almost everything about the business they were running and was officially a member of the board of directors of the company.

Caroline was a brilliant and sharp child; she was destined to become like her grandpa and get Chapman Industries to greater heights. She had a strong sense of business operations and sharp conversational skillset. Her convincing powers and marketing strategies has impressed the members and stakeholders.

The Chapmans were the richest family in the small town of Iowa. They had corn and soybean industries with around 15,000 acres of land for cultivation purposes. Their net worth was around $4 billion per year, and their products were well known in the US as well as globally.

But as people say, the rich have the greed to become richer, as did the Chapman's, so they did run illegal businesses along with their industries....
