Adrian Hale is the only son of Edward Hale, a powerful and influential CEO of Hale Corporation, a multinational company based in Sydney that dominates the fields of real estate, technology, and luxury goods. He was raised in a world where success was expected, not earned—groomed from childhood to one day take over the empire. Despite his privileged life, Adrian never relied solely on his father’s name. He prefers to observe, calculate, and build his own authority quietly.

Though he’s currently studying business management at one of Australia’s top universities, everyone knows he’s already destined for the top. He uses his university years to understand people—their motives, weaknesses, and ambitions—the real lessons of power his father could never teach.
