“Rachel?” August couldn’t believe his eyes. His mother-in-law was here inviting him for dinner. This had never happened before. She hated him to the core, always berating him for no reason, and worst of it, never had she offered him food.If not for Caroline, she wouldn’t do it. And now, on her accord, she was here inviting him? Shortly after they wanted him to divorce Caroline? Something was fishy. He could smell it.Sensing his hesitation, she frowned. “I know I’ve not been a good mother-in-law to you, but now I want to make a difference. I can see Caroline likes you so much. She even stood up challenging her grandmother that she wasn’t going to divorce you. “I can see how you support her company's progress and I won’t lie, I feel you are the best one for Caroline. Since you can now walk, I have no issues accepting you. Taking this dinner as an act of apology for how I’ve berated you these past few years.” Rachel expressed herself with teary eyes hoping he could find a place in his

After the call, Rachel rolled her eyes and started pacing back and forth in the room thinking of what to do. True, Caroline wasn't her child, but she was raised since she was a kid by her. It was rare to say she didn't care about her. Also, if Caroline left this house, they would no longer see each other like before, and getting rid of August wouldn't work out. If August was out of her life, they could pair her up with someone and marry her off, that way the company would be handed over to Mark. Mark was her biological son and because of this issue, he had left home. She had to do this or else she would lose her child and she didn't want that.“I have to make Caroline stay in this house. I can't let her leave!” She said to herself before walking off.On the other hand, Caroline who left went to August's room. She placed a gentle knock on the door and when he replied, and walked in.August was seated on the bed half-dressed, about to sleep when he heard her knock. He didn't have an o

“Ooh, is that so?” August raised a brow at him, amused by the amount of money he took and was intending to flee. Five hundred million was quite a huge sum and August was certain that it was either half of the company's annual income or it was one quarter. Yet, this man wanted to flee with it like it was his? Were people like him always this rotten?“I…” Ayden tried saying something but nothing was coming out of his mouth. He saw this as a good opportunity to leave this place and become rich. His salary was only five hundred thousand dollars yearly, and he felt it wasn’t enough. All he had to do was embezzle the company's resources and then try to cover it as much as he could, perhaps until he had left the country.He never expected that August would catch him so fast and in just their first encounter. Just who in the world is this man? Ayden was already shivering as though his body were going to melt.“Please forgive me, it’s the work of the devil. I haven’t used the money. I can stil

The office became silent for a while. Both August and David began to envision what it would be like to trap that man, leaving him with no hope of escaping. That day, he wouldn’t only reveal his intentions and list the people he was working for, that day would be the last day he ever got to keep his life again.“What do you want me to do?” David asked.“Nothing. Just wait around. If I need your help, I’ll ask for it.” August replied.“You are going out without me? What if you face a deadly foe?” David asked.“Come on, I am not that weak you know. And besides, I also need to fight stronger opponents so maybe my powers may come back earlier than expected.” August replied leaving no room for argument before striding towards the door.Just then, Ayden walked in. His expression was a lot calmer than before and also, the mess he was in had been washed off. Though the fear was still there, it wasn’t like he had any choice. He had been caught up in all this and there was no going back.“I am d

Standing at the back, Ayden was awed to the point that he couldn’t speak for a while. First, it was shocking that August knew how to draw and was able to perfectly carve out a piece. With such talent, he had rendered all the architecture departments in the company useless. The most amazing part was that he came up with this design in just a few minutes.Secondly, he wasn’t playing Mr. Black's game, but instead, he was playing his game. Mr. Black might have wanted to destroy the project just to make August suffer, but August didn’t view it like this.Though the company would face some criticism when such happened, he planned to make a comeback by building a masterpiece that would blow the entire public. Also, he had already thought of a way to curb the criticism and that was by making Mr. Wang accept the blame in exchange for a house worth two billion.Though this might be a huge loss to the company, thinking about the attention it would attract, and the deals, soon, they would recover
