That would be true if the sisters were more united and not still in their father's thrall. But they're not united, and they still are in his thrall despite his death.
Generally speaking, people that are born from extremely rich families, tends to be very possessive about their inheritance. Power is extremely addictive and awesome, they're even breed to enjoy it to the fullest. They simply shouldn't let it go easily, for it would be an abysmal level of bad writing if it happens.
The sister who controls the assassins, Veronica, doesn't want to be on top, and she appears to be secretly backing Olivia. So no assassins. Dominique and Juliette were enemies more concerned about each other than Olivia until now. Alessandra has a soft spot for pretty girls who are sweet to her, and Olivia is both.
For what we know, each of these girls could be a billionaire. Each one can hire an army of assassins to do their biding at any time.
Also, hiring a professional to do a dirt work is not something exclusive that only one person can or would have access to. Any of them could at any moment. The only question is, does any of the have the inclination to do so?
They also they have connections with extremely important people, for the most rich and influential people on this world, would use their club to seek enjoyment free of repercussion. They can do whatever they want without ever worrying about any consequence.
Some sisters that obviously have connections with politics and higher ups in police are.
Dominique for she host literally death match arenas.
Veronica does illegal grotesque experiments.
Juliette often kills her slaves, y'know normally it raises questions.
Elena seems to be the most shady and politics involved, she's the one with most connections of them all.
As for Alessandra didn't really paid any attention to her, but it's just how the game goes. It's like living in a family where everyone is an architect, receiving same education and somehow pretending that does know anything about it.
Alessandra being soft or not towards Olivia doesn't mean she won't kill or screw over another person she doesn't have hatred for. She clearly already have a reason, Olivia is a direct competitor for the inheritance, that is enough already.
People don't kill people only due hatred, that is naive, if there's gains to be made, and one has the power to make it happen. And besides, if Olivia fails, she could become Alessandra's slave/pet. So a cherry on top of the cake.
Since you asked twice, I'll say it a second time. It's all part of their father's Gambit which is basically his Last Will. They don't dare risk their own chance to inherit by defying their father.
So either kill her, or make her fail the gambit. That's the only logical conclusion.
She might be blood related, but for all it's worth she's a stranger to all of them, which makes the decision super easy.
The only other play would use her stats and manipulate her to do their biding, increasing their personal chances.
But the thing is, on this corporation guideline so to speak, being stupid and useless gets you demoted.
No, I don't think that will happen until the end game after the Gambit is decided. Her position is part of the Gambit. If it's taken from her, or if she were enslaved, she would be at a disadvantage compared to her sisters. This is something the Gambit Queen would never allow. So it won't be taken from her, at least not until after the Gambit is decided.
I hope not. For it would remove any risk and conflict from the story, making it a great deal less interesting, since there isn't anything at stake, but also we wouldn't be able to explore the consequences.
If you believe that than I have a bridge I can sell you for real cheap. Actions count louder than words, and all of the people at the top are either Alexander's family or his lovers. Merit and skill by themselves weren't enough. In the end if the MC wants to climb to the top, he'll have to give Alexander Karlsson the grandson he desired.
For sure, but staying in power requires the skill of learning the game and adapting accordingly, or at very least giving the illusion of that. Being a clear idiot know nothing that often speaks about her own indecisiveness that never gets anything done, I'd say she shouldn't last long, but then again, plot armor.
Also thus far MC has been promoted solely on his merits and skills, and I'd have to say, he has ranked up way too fast already.
If he keeps on this pace, he would be able to reach K10 in less than a month. But I have a feeling he'll grow further than that.
