Denver didn’t answer. For a second, his grip tightened more, making the woman wince, before she let her go.“Follow me,” Denver told Trisha, and both of them went inside the elevator and clicked onto the top floor.It was only the two of them, so they could speak freely on their quick ride.“I wonder if that woman’s okay…” Trisha muttered, her voice laced with curiosity and concern.Hearing those words, Denver raised an eyebrow. “You’re taking her side more than me?”“Hah.” Trisha rolled her eyes and folded her arms. “As much as I wanted to take her side, I wouldn’t. It’s not beneficial.”“But do you know how it could affect you when that woman complains of harassment?” Trisha added to ask.Denver smirked.“As long as I’m still the owner of this company, she won’t be able to do anything,” he replied. “I’ll even make things difficult for her and ruin her life.”Upon hearing those words, Trisha wasn’t able to answer. She hated the fact that Denver still affected her, especially when his

“Shit,” Trisha muttered, her gaze turning to Denver, hating and pitying him at the same time. “It’s over. The company is in his name now.”Upon hearing those words, Denver clenched his fists in anger, not even bothering to hide it.“No. Fucking now,” he snapped, his eyes burning with fury. “This isn’t the end. There is still a way to take back the company.”But the truth is, Denver was also just trying to convince himself through it.He didn’t have any idea how to take the board members onto his side, especially now that they knew about the debt.“Are you crazy? Wake up!” Trisha exclaimed to Denver, clenching her fists until her knuckles became white. “We’re just wasting our time, and you’re just humiliating yourself!”Denver looked at Trisha, feeling ticked off by her words.Tilting his head, he went to Trisha, the anger evident in his eyes.“This is what you wanted to see, so why are you acting like you’re goddamn concerned about me?”“Concerned?” Trisha repeated as the side of her

“No. I’m not saying anything like that,” Oliver answered. He said those words calmly, not insinuating anything. “But for the employees there, they either knew it or they looked the other way.”He added, “It doesn’t matter which, though.”There was a pause in the conversation. Tension arose in the air.“Competence doesn’t mean trustworthy,” Oliver said as he leaned to the chair, glancing at everyone in the room. “I need a clean slate.”Upon hearing those words, the board members shift uncomfortably.They knew that they were positioned longer as the members of the board, so someone like Oliver shouldn’t intimidate them.But for some reason, Oliver, although he didn’t look like a businessman, sent shivers down their spine.“Replace them. All of them,” he commanded, not giving space for arguments. “Before they bury something else, we can’t afford to find it too late.”Those were Oliver’s last words before standing up and exiting the boardroom, leaving all the board members in shock.***

“Another account manager like me who could have been connected to your account,” Rebecca muttered, her brows furrowing deeply.Then, she looked at Oliver as a realization struck her.“Wait, your account is connected with Cole Henverton, right?”“You know about that?” Oliver asked, raising an eyebrow.“Of course. I've only handled Cole Henverton’s account before,” she answered, then looked again at her phone, checking for something. “According to the document, your account was connected to Mr. Henverton’s, and that is why Trisha could only withdraw money periodically, not the entire savings.”She added, “When you, a VVIP client, arrived, I needed to let go of another account so I could fully address your needs. I chose to let go of his account.”Oliver nodded, a memory recurring onto his mind.“Right. She keeps on getting my consent for her to unlock the entire fund,” Oliver told her, his tone serious. “Not only that, but my necklace was also needed.”“Do you know why?”“I have a hunc

The panic was evident in Rebecca’s voice, but she remained composed. “But don’t worry. I will make sure that we’ll be able to retrieve it before he can get anything—”“He’s not after the money,” Oliver interrupted, not letting Rebecca finish her sentence. “He’s after me.”The silence followed as Rebecca didn’t speak on the other line, indicating that he agreed with Oliver’s words.“If he really wanted the money, he would have taken everything from it as soon as he managed to hack the account,” Oliver added, his voice low. “But instead of taking it, he locked it.”“Whoever it was, he wanted to make you suffer and help Trisha unlock her account…” Rebecca muttered, her worry increasing.She added, “Could it be that the enemy was… close?”“Highly likely.”Suddenly, his phone beeped. There was another incoming call on his phone.“I need to end the call for now,” Oliver told him, his voice authoritative. “Thank you for informing me about this, Rebecca.”“No prob,” she answered, her worry g
