“Holy shit, what the hell is happening right now?”“This doesn't make any sense.”“Why the hell is that meme coin rising?... Is that even possible?”Kane immediately turned back upon hearing the comments from others only to pause as he saw what they saw.For some reason, the same meme coin that had no value a few seconds ago was now skyrocketing past several of the other coins, making its way to the same value bracket as the coin he'd invested in. Kane couldn't believe his eyes to the point that for a moment, he wondered if he was hallucinating.But then, his phone rang and he was jolted out of his reverie.He immediately picked up after he realized it was the guru he'd placed his hopes on.“What's going on?”“There's a problem!” The guru immediately exclaimed, catching Kane off guard.“What are you talking about?”“My prediction was wrong, something is artificially redirecting the direction of fate.”“Is that even possible?”“Of course!... Those with enough power at their fingertips

Wine was also served and soon enough, the atmosphere was relaxed.“I must say, I was quite impressed with the ingenious plan you thought up to win the auction tonight. It was the first time I saw such a thing. Indeed, you are quite the innovative individual.” Richard intoned, first throwing the bait that he had tried and rested on so many others.Max smiled. “I only did what I felt was right to ensure I came out on top. I had no idea it would be so innovative.”“And that is exactly why it is innovative. Based on what I've seen tonight, I can confidently say that Rosario is on an upward trajectory to where they once were upon a time.”“We'll see.”Richard chuckled. “But I believe just thinking about returning to where you once were isn't enough. What about the wider world?... Isn't it time for Rosario to prove themselves on the world stage?”Max paused at this point, taking a moment to scrutinize Richard before shaking his head. “Unfortunately that can't be possible. At least not yet.

“For that, I'd have to praise Mister Archibald.” Mirabel complimented. “His capability to deliver the news to the populace ensured that Max was effectively placed in a bad light. Now, as it is, no one in Westbrook can dare to say anything good about that fool Max Augustus. If they don't curse him out, then they would be more inclined to stay neutral to avoid getting lumped in with Max.”“Which means that bastard Max Augustus has been effectively isolated. Now all we have to do is ruin his reputation as much as possible in court after which we can silently pull out. Even if we don't win the case, everyone would continue to believe that Max Augustus is a disgusting human being and the most important thing in the business world is name. If your name is associated with trash, there's no way you can progress which means it won't be long before Rosario ends up unable to grow and would slowly die.” Natasha intoned with a satisfied smile on her lips.“You really are a genius, Miss Cavendish a

Max rolled his eyes. “Who said anything about silencing the truth?” Archibald scoffed. “What other reason could you have to purchase the company I manage?” “Not anymore.” Max calmly pointed out causing Archibald to frown. “What do you mean?” “As the new owner of NBS West, naturally, I can't have an enemy working as a manager so there are only two options for you. You can either work as a cleaner or you can leave.” Archibald glared at him. “You can't do this!” “Actually, I can.” “You have no solid grounds to fire me.” Max raised a brow. “Are you sure?” Archibald wanted to say more, only to pause for a moment as he had a feeling that if he said anything, it would only make the matter worse. Max chuckled. “Look, we both know you have embezzled close to ten million dollars from NBS West. Now you have two options; Firstly, you admit to your crime and spend a long time behind bars. Secondly, you admit to your crime, agree to testify against Natasha with evidence of wrongd

The first, was Mirabel's sex tape with Bernard, mostly blurred to avoid completely humiliating her.A series of gasps escaped the lips of those present. “This video was taken late last year, and as you all can see, that is my ex-wife making love to the son of the Dawson family.” “This could clearly have been doctored!” Clearly, Max's enemies were not about to let it go as they brought up several what-ifs to make a statement.Max remained unmoved, as steady as a mountain as he replied. “It could be doctored, but the same with the stories told by Natasha Cavendish, so why is one accepted while the other is not?” “Well, Natasha Cavendish is a philanthropist and a model member of society.”“And for that reason, she automatically becomes a good person?” Max raised a brown. “I am also a philanthropist. After all, Rosario is one of the biggest charity homes in the world. And as for being a model member of society, I do my part every day for this city.” The journalist clicked his tongue r
