Chapter 531: Ethan’s Desperation
Ethan Crawford paced the length of his expansive office, his normally calm demeanor unraveling. The fallout from the leaked financial reports spread faster than he expected. His phone buzzed incessantly with calls from concerned investors and angry board members seeking clarification. “How did this happen?” he shouted at the assistant standing nervously by the door. “We are still investigating,” the assistant stammered. "The leak came from someone with deep knowledge of your operations. It’s too coordinated to be random."Ethan’s jaw tightened. "Justin," he muttered. "He’s behind this. Who else would dare?"The assistant hesitated before speaking. "There’s more, sir. Several investors are beginning to pull out of the Harbourland project."Ethan froze. The Harborland project is a gem. It is a multi-billion dollar real estate endeavor designed to cement industry domination."How many?" he demanded."Three so far," the assistant admitted. "And rumors are spreading that more might foll
Chapter 532: Turning Point
Ethan sat alone in his dimly lit office, gazing at the city skyline .The once impeccable suit he wore was wrinkled, the tie was loose, and the hair was a bit disheveled. Ethan's careful control reflects the chaos that engulfs his turf. His phone rang on the table. And he reluctantly answered the phone. “Say it,” he whispered, his voice full of exhaustion and frustration. The voice from the other side hesitated. “Sir, three more investors have pulled out of Harbourland. They’re citing concerns about recent developments.”Ethan gritted his teeth. “Concerns that Justin planted in their heads, no doubt.”“That’s likely, but... there’s more,” the voice continued. “Some of our partners are quietly reaching out to him. They’re looking for stability, and he’s offering it.”Ethan slammed the phone down before the conversation could continue. He had anticipated Justin’s moves, but not the speed and precision with which he was dismantling everything Ethan had built.Meanwhile, Justin was revi
Chapter 533: Ethan’s Dark Play
The midnight air was cool and still as Ethan sat in the study. His fingers drummed nervously on the edge of the polished oak table. A small whiskey glass sat motionless next to him. His gaze turned to Vance, who was sitting still on a chair across the room. His dark suit blended in with the shadows. “Tell me,” Ethan said, his voice barely containing any urgency.Vance leaned forward, his grin sharp and predatory. “We hit him where it hurts the most—his people. Justin prides himself on loyalty, doesn’t he? His team, his inner circle… it’s his greatest strength and his biggest weakness.”Ethan’s brows furrowed. “What are you suggesting?”“We spread distrust,” Vance explained, his tone calm yet venomous. “Plant rumors. Create fractures. Make his people question him. If they falter, his empire will crumble from within.”Ethan hesitated, the weight of the suggestion pressing against his already fragile conscience. But the image of Justin’s smirk, his unyielding confidence, fueled Ethan’s
Chapter 534: The Cost of Loyalty
The tension in the office was palpable as Justin stared at the phone in his hand. It was a message from Claire. One of his most trusted senior managers, she has always been a stable and reliable force in the company. One of the person Justin can rely on through thick and thin. But now, the message shook him to his core."Justin, I need to talk. I don’t know what to believe anymore."He set the phone down slowly, his thoughts racing. Claire was always his rock and never wavered in her loyalty. But rumors and pressure from Ethan's camp begin to unravel her resolve.“What does she want to talk about?” Mark asked, his voice low as he watched Justin from across the desk."I don't know," Justin admitted, rubbing his temple. “But if she is already doubting me… it just means I am losing.”Mark frowned. “If she’s questioning, it means Ethan is succeeding. We need to act fast.”Justin stood up abruptly. “We need to meet with her. Now.”The meeting was arranged quickly. Justin and Mark arrive at
Chapter 535: A Decision Must Be Made
Justin stood by his office window, gazing at the city of his battlefields and greatest achievements. The sun is setting, shining a bright orange light across the horizon. But for Justin, the allure of the beauty of the landscape disappeared. His thoughts were occupied with the photograph from his bag. It was a picture of Claire with the note. The world he had fought so hard for seemed to crumble before his eyes. First, Claire's resignation, then the calculated move by Ethan to bring her down.Justin could feel the weight of betrayal pressing down on him. His phone rang on the table, putting him out of his thoughts. He looked at the screen - Mark“Justin, we need to talk,” Mark's voice came through the receiver. Urgent but controlled "There's something you need to know." It’s about Claire."Justin’s stomach twisted. "I already know. She’s out."There was a pause at the other end of the line. “That's not the whole story. Claire didn’t leave on her own terms. Ethan... Ethan made h
Chapter 536: Dangerous Gambling
The still evening was broken only by the murmur of the city outside. Justin sits in his office. The flickering candlelight casts shadows on the wall. The weight of the decision he had just made hung in the air. It's like the calm before the storm. He knows what the risks are. Each move strengthens his victory or unravels everything he fought for. The time of reckoning is approaching. The phone on the table buzzes. And Justin's hand instinctively shot out. It was a message from Mark: “The investor’s withdrawal is confirmed. Ethan doesn’t know we’re coming for him. But we need to move fast. His next move will be unpredictable.”Justin stared at the message for a moment, letting it sink in. Ethan was ruthless. He wasn’t someone who would just roll over, not after everything he’d done. Ethan would strike back—and strike hard.An hour later, the door creaked open, and Mark stepped in, his usual calm demeanor now tempered with urgency.His eyes flicked to the empty chair across from Just
Chapter 537: The Calm Before the Storm
The city skyline flickers outside Justin's office window. The deafening sound of traffic and the occasional siren barely rang in the background. Inside, the whole world seemed to be collapsing. The silence is deafening. Justin sat at the table and stared at the pile of papers in front of him. Each document is a reminder of the war he fought. And the war is yet to come. It had been several days since a secret message from an anonymous source had shaken him to the core. Ethan's next move is still unknown. It takes over Justin's mind and causes him to become paranoid, making him unable to fully trust anyone. Is there really a mole in his camp? Or is it just another ploy designed to make Ethan uncomfortable? Justin ran a hand through his hair. The weight of the situation pressed down on him. He couldn't let his guard down—not now. The more time he spent on constant surveillance, the pressure only began to weigh on him. The door to his office opened slowly. And Mark walked inside. H
Chapter 538: Betrayal in the Heart
As soon as he hung up the phone, Justin's heart nearly pounded in his chest. Claire's voice still echoed in his mind. Sharp and cold words, but it's tinged with something deeper. She has always been a mystery. A woman on so many levels, and now she seems like a wild card in a game that's spiraling out of control.“I should have seen this coming,” Justin muttered to himself as he pushed the phone aside, his hands gripping the edge of the table. His mind raced through a tangled mess of relationships. Each thread leads him to a crossroads. Claire always knew how to get under his skin and change his mood. And for a long time he allowed her to do that. But this? This feels different. This is no longer about the past. It's about survival. And Justin is not going to let anyone, least of all, Claire, compromise all the things he had worked for.The door to his office creaked open. And Mark came in with a solemn expression. It didn't take long to read the uneasiness in Justin's assistant's
Chapter 539: The Last Choice
The weight of betrayal was heavy on Justin's chest. But he refuses to let it cripple him. Fighting with Ethan, Claire's betrayal, and Langston's Growing Influence, everything seems to be spinning.But Justin knows he has only one way to finish what he started. That is, dissecting his enemies piece by piece, no matter what it is going to cost him. As he sat in the back of the car, the city lights flickered like a fleeting opportunity he had missed. Justin stared out the vanishing window as his mind raced through the various options available to him, each more dangerous than the last. He could feel the tension building in his chest, the pressure that only precedes one final major move. He was done playing games. This was no longer about corporate strategy; this was personal.“Where are we headed?” Mark’s voice broke through Justin’s thoughts, a slight edge of concern in his tone. He had always been the loyal one, the reliable sidekick. But even Mark was starting to sense the shift in
Chapter 540: To the Abyss
The city stretched out in front of Justin, a maze of light and shadow that is as lively as it gets, breathing rhythmically through its veins .Every skyscraper, every sign glows. Every road is busy. It represents the battle of victory. And his decision, however, felt different tonight. The weight of it all—the betrayal, the alliance, the destruction—feels unbearable. He had crossed the point of no return.The phone call with Ethan still echoed in his mind. The last words lingered like a threat he couldn't escape: Prepare yourself. This is just the beginning.The challenge had been issued. Ethan was no longer just a rival; he was the embodiment of everything Justin had fought against. This wasn’t about money anymore, or even power. This was personal. And as much as Justin had always prided himself on his ability to stay composed, the game had changed. He wasn’t just protecting a business empire anymore. He was protecting himself, his sanity, his very existence.“Mark,” Justin said, hi
