On the news screen, reports continued to pour in: "Contamination Scandal Shakes BeAnd Company! Public Demands Accountability!" Public disappointment was laid bare—all part of their malicious game.Leon approached Celine, holding her face gently. "We will face all of this together, darling. I will not allow anyone to destroy your dream, never."He glanced at the screen showing the rising contamination levels in other factory areas. The chemical had spread much faster than initially estimated. The scent of poison now truly permeated the entire factory area, confirming their fear that the toxin was infiltrating other facilities. The raging anger in his heart could not easily be quelled.The emergency alarm suddenly blared loudly, echoing through the entire factory area. The sound pierced their ears, reverberating through every corner, signaling an even greater danger."BeAnd Company... has declared a failure," Celine sobbed, covering her mouth with her severely trembling hand. Thi

Marko let out a deep, sarcastic chuckle, fully convinced of his imminent victory. He sat opposite Celine. "This contract... offers a practical way out, Cousin. I will help inject fresh funds, take over the debt restructuring, and restore your tarnished reputation through my powerful network." He then pushed the contract closer to Celine, forcing her to confront it. "In exchange, you simply sign over majority ownership to me. I, Marko, will temporarily take over control of BeAnd Company."Celine's breath caught in her throat. Signing this contract meant losing everything Kakek Martin and she had passionately built. Marko would turn it into a subsidiary under his own management, completely dismantling its independent structure. It was an unbearable loss, a personal betrayal she couldn't allow. She stood up abruptly, scattering the financial documents."You're nothing but a scavenger, Marko," Celine hissed, standing as tall as possible, despite the deep weariness overwhelming her. She co

Marko’s face flushed deep crimson. His gaze darted frantically between Leon's face and the massive pile of contracts he’d just thrown toward Celine. He started gathering the contracts with visibly shaking hands, the chilling certainty that Leon was fully aware of his selfish scheme freezing him. "What are you talking about, Leon? I was merely discussing...""No need to discuss, Marko," Leon interjected, his eyes freezing Marko in his place, preventing any further excuse. "Just get your documents and your greed, and get out of my sight."He leaned toward Celine, caressing her pale face, replacing the atmosphere of anxiety and shame with an instant aura of protective tenderness, signaling the immediate return to his protective role. The casual touch carried immense strength, as if daring Marko to protest further.Celine’s eyes remained fixated on Leon's face. All the accumulated doubt vanished, swept away by the overpowering realization: Leon had always possessed this strength, yet he c

Leon carefully led Celine back to her desk chair. He ensured she was settled before bending down, resting his elbows on her table, meeting her gaze intently. His eyes had fully regained their sharp, analyzing intensity, stripping away the playful mask he used when interacting with the world outside the ongoing danger. He looked serious, focusing entirely on strategy."An anomaly in the sensor readings has been detected in a different zone," Leon explained, his voice low and carefully measured, choosing his words carefully so as not to cause more panic. He was referring to Tuan Wilson, who, under the banner of Anomali Wilson, had sent a fresh alert to his personal channel. "There is another contamination attempt currently taking place in the new packaging facility. They are hitting hard and quickly.""Another attack? But... why now? After the opening chaos, why repeat the same method?" Celine exclaimed, utterly dismayed, running her hands through her hair. The overwhelming reality that

Leon hesitated momentarily, avoiding her gaze. "I simply possess access to various critical technological and information networks, Sayang. Networks with absolute command over sensitive resources." Leon deliberately avoided revealing his status as the Silent Founder of the massive corporation, clinging to his role as her simple protector and powerful secret ally. "We managed to halt the poison spread instantly. I have isolated all affected packaging facilities, effectively preventing further shipments of contaminated products from reaching the wider market. But, this only stops the damage. It does not erase the bad news.""Then... the scandal will still rage?" Celine whispered, her eyes mirroring a raw fear of the media storm that continued to brew outside the corporate sanctuary.Leon nodded sadly, pulling her into another warm embrace, holding her as a promise against the storm outside. "Yes, the media panic is beyond control now, Darling. Your reputation is stained in the public's

The crisis reached its pinnacle when the phone in the control room rang loudly. Celine hesitantly picked up the receiver. It was a new call, yet one she instantly recognized."Hello? Who is this?" her voice wavered, betraying deep weariness and palpable despair.The caller's voice on the other end—deep, smooth, and laced with absolute, terrifying menace—immediately sent a chilling ripple through the tense office air. It was Dion Walker."Celine, darling, I trust you’ve thoroughly absorbed all the current reports?" Dion’s voice drifted through the line, superficially friendly but hiding a layer of malice that sent an instinctual alarm ringing through Celine. He deliberately added the affectionate term to heighten her immediate psychological discomfort, establishing dominance through mock familiarity.Celine flinched at the deliberate tone, gripping the receiver with trembling determination, trying to maintain her composure. "Mr. Dion," she replied, her voice strained, injecting formali

Celine held onto him tightly, feeling her utter helplessness vanish entirely, replaced by a surge of overwhelming faith in the quiet giant she was married to. She finally allowed her long-held, secret affection for Leon to surface, dissolving the professional façade she always maintained, acknowledging him not as a liability, but as her absolute protector."Then Dion Walker... his evil plans have been defeated?" Celine asked, clinging to that single, fragile fact."Not just defeated, Sayang," Leon assured her, his eyes glowing fiercely with a powerful resolve that startled even him. He would eliminate Dion Walker now that his own funds were used. "They have been obliterated, removed from the chessboard entirely, and he will never touch you again. Dion Walker has utterly failed in all of his machinations to disrupt you, to manipulate you, to destroy what is yours. You have defeated him through my hidden hand. Your company is completely safe."Celine sobbed, covering her mouth with her

Dion chuckled softly. A mocking laugh. "Oh, really? Why would you refuse it, Ms. Celine? Do you not realize that your entire venture is currently shattered, and you won't easily fix it alone? You won't find a single partner to solve these problems. Even a close partner would likely betray you eventually.""I believe in pride and firmness, Mr. Dion," Celine retorted, her tone slightly more certain. She tightly closed her eyes, seeking strength. The smell of rust in the air grew sharper, mixing with the surrounding aroma of her despair. Yet she felt she could; she believed she could resolve everything, fighting alone."Firmness won't save your crumbling business, Ms. Celine," Dion snapped back cynically, like someone who knew every detail that others overlooked. "Look around you; how severe are the problems you're facing right now? What remains? Hollow pride? Or perhaps a stack of overdue bank documents and consumer lawsuits? I only see liability in your empire.""What am I supposed to

Leon gently patted Celine’s back. His hand moved slowly, stroking his wife's long hair. The scent of Celine's shampoo, which he always loved, seemed to calm him amid her anxiety. This was the first time he had truly seen Celine devastated, burdened by something she shouldn't have to face alone. A flicker of rage quickly crossed Leon's eyes but immediately retreated behind his composed expression, known only to him. The temperature around Celine suddenly dropped, creating a chilling sensation that pierced her bones."The decision is yours, darling. However, trust that you won't like the consequences. A major decision is a decision that shows you as a true leader making a tough call," Leon stated, his voice calm yet carrying an unyielding authority, much like Grandpa Martin often used."But I can't make a detrimental decision. I'm a terrible CEO," Celine complained, looking at Leon desperately. A feeling of emptiness washed over her. Tears continued to fall as she struggled to decide am
Chapter 69
Grandpa Martin’s words echoed in Celine's mind. She knew Leon often did unexpected things, but this time, the stakes were too high. Lives, reputation, legacy... all depended on this single choice. Anxiety and despair crushed her heart. Leon specifically told her not to meet Dion. However, doing what Leon asked would hurt all her staff who depended on her. Forced to solidify her resolve, she tried to suppress the throbbing pain in her head. This was a choice between preserving a vague hope she didn't understand and saving the livelihoods of those who depended on her. Despite the bitterness, she knew she had to meet Dion."I... I will go, Grandpa," Celine declared, her voice laced with strong, though fragile, determination. She picked up her jacket from the back of her chair. The air outside the factory was already darkening, but the distant buzz of city life was still audible. "I cannot abandon those who rely on my decisions. A leader must take risks."Grandpa Martin looked at her deep
