"BREAKING NEWS: Christopher Thatcher the founder and CEO of TG to retire, which one of his children will take over the Thatcher Group continue reading to find out"
Alexander Thatcher the second son of Christopher Thatcher and Ava Thatcher. Announced to take over Thatcher's group once he turned 20. Netizens are wondering why their eldest son Micheal Thatcher is not taking over, has he done something he shouldn't have?

The first thing I saw when I woke up was my phone buzzing with news about me taking over the business. Many people are questioning why the younger brother, who is significantly junior to his older sibling, has been appointed as the CEO and given the business. Since I turned 18, I always knew that I would be the next in line for a position. My older brother, Michael, who is six years older than me, made it clear that he had no interest in taking over the family business. He did not want the responsibility that would come with the job, and he didn't see himself as the rightful person for the position.

Micheal never wanted to be a businessman; his interest lay in law. He wanted to become a lawyer, which is why he chose to study law. My dad allowed him to pursue this path, as he didn't want to force him, but he held out a little hope that my brother might want to take over the family business. However, my brother has no interest in it. So he went onto becoming a great lawyer.

My dad and I agreed that I would be the best person to take over the business. I have two other siblings, but they are too young to worry about this matter. Of course, my dad asked for my opinion and as someone who grew up watching him, I didn't mind. It made me want to be like him. Although I wasn't sure whether I'd be up to the standards and expectations. Random thoughts kept creeping into my mind, but they came to a halt as I heard the voice of my one and only sister walking into my room.

Meet Isabella Thatcher, Alexander's 16-year-old sister in secondary school. She's a typical teenage girl, passionate about fashion, and beauty, and aspiring to create her makeup line. fashion brand. She is a sweet girl. She is the only girl born to 3 brothers, she is a dad girl and her dad and brothers are very protective of her.

I will introduce Alexander's younger brother as well.  Liam Thatcher. Age 12 the youngest of the Thatcher siblings. He is mischievous but overall a kind and sweet boy. Very scared of his mum (this goes for all the kids including their father). Although he can be naughty he has a soft side to him. Back to the story.

"Can you drive me to school?" she asked in a weird voice.

"Can you not ask someone else?" I said as I got up out of my bed putting on a black t-shirt.

(19-year-old Alexander frequently visited the gym, so as most of you can imagine he had built some nice muscles already)

"Why would I ask someone else if I have you" she said while having a huge grin on her face.

"Also because no one else is available, you're the only one" Isabella said.

"Who told you I was available? I've got things to do," I said, knowing full well that I didn't have anything to do.

"Yhyh I am sure you have nothing to do, so will you please drop me off" she asked once again practically begging.
