However, there was still hope. He still had the sum of twenty billion in his account. If he was lucky, he could get away with it. But he had to plead for his life first. Only after he had successfully been able to convince August would have a shot at survival. “I've signed my part.” He said as he dropped his pen beside the document while August took it and started scrutinizing it. After he was done, he also wrote his name and signature on it. Now the company was officially his, and he could make the necessary changes he wanted, but first, he still had to deal with Peter. “You haven't emptied your account yet. I am waiting. Do it fast.” He said without looking at him. “You are collecting the cash too? I only got twenty billion from the split asset. The company is worth twenty billion. If you take it, you can make a billion annually or even more. In no time, you will become rich. You already have Apex Corporation. Having this one too is indeed huge.” Peter said trying to sound con

Meanwhile, at the top floor of Apex Corporation.Mr. Wang was visiting to thank August about the progress of the ongoing project. Not only would he be getting the best piece that might stand out in the whole of blue vile, but it would be enough to accommodate all his family members and make him show off among his peers.He was pleased to visit but more importantly, came here for a different mission. Beside him was his daughter, Freya Wang, a goddess among her peers who had come along to visit August.“Grandpa, are you sure this man is as handsome as you say?” She blinked her long eyelashes at him, sounding so reluctant. In all twenty-four years of her life, she hadn't seen a man who was able to fit into her expectations. She had turned down about fifty men as she thought they were unworthy of her. But today, her grandfather had promised to hook her up with someone who would fit into the dream-like character she had been looking for her entire life.“Trust me, when you see him, you wi

“What?” August was shaken off his seat. His eyes widened. He tried not to believe what he had just heard, but it was impossible. He wouldn't be called if such a thing didn't happen.“When and how?” He inquired. His heart was violently beating inside his chest while his body began to shiver. The thought of Caroline getting hurt alone was enough to cause a disaster to his body.“Not long ago, she received a call to meet someone outside the company. It seemed very urgent that she couldn't neglect it. But after she went out, someone nabbed her and took her away. I saw it happen with my two eyes.” Fredrick explained.Right after informing the police, he knew he had to call August since he was her husband to inform him of what had happened.“Thank you,” August said before hanging up. His eyes immediately turned deadly as though he was going to set the whole place in flames. The person who could dare to do such a thing to his wife should be ready for the consequences. After all, you can't p

A deadly glint burned in August's eyes. He should have known that after killing Richard's father, he was going to come for him. However, he didn't even know that the fool had survived the venom. It seemed it was time to put him down, for good this time.“Where is Caroline? Let her go at once.” August said through gritted teeth.“Let her go? Did you let my father go you twisted f^ck! I am going to torture her. I will make sure she begs for death. But, before I kill her, I will make sure you are there to watch.” Richard retorted.August was silent for a while. His fist clenched tightly. His teeth grinding inside his mouth. He badly wanted to crush Richard and wipe off that smug expression he might be having on his face right now.“What do you want? Name if!” August knew he had to compromise and not be rash or else he wouldn't be able to save Caroline. After this, even if he had to travel far, he would make sure he found someone capable of protecting her at all times. He had thought not

“You have been nothing but a worthless human to the Winston family. Also, I am your mother-in-law. I have some worth so I don't deserve to die. Remember that if you let me die, Caroline will forever hate you!” Rachel bellowed again.She had pleaded with Richard to spare her, but he refused. Now that August had shown up, at least, his life could be exchanged for hers. She had fed him for years so he should pay back all the goodness she had done for him. “Why are you hesitating? Go down on your knees right away!” Her eyes were red in fury as she spoke. If she could get a chance to cut him open, she would have done so long ago.He was the cause of all this in the first place. If he had remained a cripple perhaps this day would never come. But since he did, he should be ready for the consequences right?August looked at her but didn't say anything. Her words meant nothing. Even if it was recorded and set as an alarm to his ears, he wouldn't bother waking up.“So, what's it going to be?
