Chapter 241: Stoicism Of An Intern
Before Fegor left the reception, he told Ethan... "You made me a promise, Mr. Cross."The room held its breath."Before I left, you made me a promise, Mr. Cross." The words hung in the air, choking into Ethan's neck.Ethan Cross stared at the young man standing before him. His mind was a chaotic mess of static and rage. Just twenty-four hours ago, he had stood in this very lobby, looming over this intern, threatening to bury him. He had told Fegor to go die in a ditch. He had promised to kill him if he didn't deliver the impossible.And now?Now Fegor stood there, in a suit that cost more than Ethan’s car, holding the impossible in his hand.Ethan looked down at the cream envelope. It felt impossibly heavy, like he was holding a brick of lead. His fingers twitched against the wax seal.'He went there,' Ethan thought, a sick feeling twisting in his gut. 'He actually went there. To the Island.'Ethan had spent his entire life hearing whispers about the West Syndicate Estate. He had drea
Chapter 242: Knife To The Bladder
The tires of Vanessa Lang’s white Maserati Levante screeched against the polished concrete of the underground parking garage. She didn't even bother pulling properly into the executive bay. She just threw the SUV into park, killed the engine, and shoved the heavy door open.Her heart was hammering against her ribs like a trapped bird. Just an hour ago, she had been lounging by Ethan Cross’s pool, sipping iced water, dreaming of high society. Now, she was sprinting toward the private elevators of Lang Enterprises, her designer heels clicking frantically against the floor.She had barely stepped out of the elevator on the top floor before Jessica, her personal assistant, was rushing down the hallway to meet her.Jessica looked like she was about to throw up. She was clutching a tablet to her chest like a shield, her usually immaculate hair slightly frizzed from running her hands through it."Ms. Lang," Jessica gasped, falling into step beside Vanessa as they hurried toward the CEO's off
Chapter 243: Hope In Da Chaos
Clara blinked, taken aback by the pure hatred in her daughter's eyes. "Excuse me?""You heard me," Vanessa spat, stepping forward, forcing her mother to take a step back. "I am so sick and tired of you treating my life like a stock portfolio. Do you know why I'm in this mess? Because of you! You were the one who relentlessly whispered in my ear to leave Adrian! You told me he was a useless parasite! You told me I was wasting my youth on a nobody!""And I was right!" Clara shot back defensively. "He was a cook! He had no ambition!""But he was safe!" Vanessa screamed, the stress of the morning finally breaking her composure. "Adrian was safe, and he adored me, and my company was doing just fine! And need I remind you that just before he was killed, he settled a debt of millions of dollars. So obviously, he was definitely hiding something.”“But no, that wasn't enough for you. You pushed me to find a 'real man' with 'real power.' You pushed me into the arms of high society. And look whe
Chapter 244: The Ghost Investor
Ethan hung up.Vanessa lowered the phone. She let out a scream of pure, unadulterated joy. She actually jumped up and down behind her desk, laughing like a maniac.She had won. After all the humiliation with Adrian, after the betrayal of Bobby Brown, after the terrifying dip in her company’s stocks... she had finally won the grand prize.She marched over to the heavy oak door and threw it open."Jessica!" Vanessa shouted down the hallway.Her PA came jogging over, looking terrified, fully expecting to be fired. "Yes, Ms. Lang?""Call my stylist," Vanessa commanded, her eyes burning with manic energy. "Tell them to clear their schedule for the entire afternoon. I need an exclusive fitting at Oscar de la Renta, and call Harry Winston to pull their archival diamond sets. I am going shopping."Jessica blinked, completely thrown off by the whiplash of her boss's mood. "Shopping? But Ms. Lang, the stock market... the board is demanding an emergency meeting at four o'clock.""Cancel it," Van
Chapter 245: Reminisce
The Cross Empire’s forty-second floor was a ghost town by eight forty-five in the evening. The overhead fluorescent lights had automatically switched to their dim, energy-saving mode, casting long, pale shadows across the maze of grey cubicles. The bumble of the central air conditioning was the only sound left in the cavernous space.Fegor sat in his old cubicle, the glow of his battered Dell laptop illuminating his face.He didn't belong here anymore. The grey fabric walls, the cheap swivel chair that always squeaked when he leaned back, the plastic cup holding a handful of stolen company pens —it all suddenly looked like a child’s playset. It looked like a joke.He picked up his phone, his thumb swiping slowly across the screen.He was looking at the pictures he had taken earlier that morning at the West Syndicate Island. He had only managed to snap a few before a polite but terrifying security operative had asked him to put the device away, but the ones he had were enough to prove
Chapter 246: Everybody Is For Sale
Her face flushed a deep, furious crimson. The corporate shark was back."How dare you!" Sterling hissed, her voice trembling with manufactured outrage. "I am a professional! I am the Head of Human Resources! And more importantly, I am a married woman! My body is not for sale, you arrogant little…""One million dollars."The words cut through her rant like a machete.Fegor didn't blink. He just stared at her, his expression completely deadpan, the weight of the black card in his pocket anchoring his bluff."One million dollars," Fegor repeated slowly, letting the number hang in the quiet air of the cubicle. "Cash. Wired to a private account of your choosing tonight. No one will ever know. Just you, me, and a hotel room."Sterling stopped breathing.The righteous anger evaporated from her face, leaving behind a blank, terrifyingly quiet calculation. Her eyes darted to the side. She swallowed hard, the movement visible in her throat. Her hand slowly moved away from her collarbone, drifti
Chapter 247: World's Greatest Risk
The forty-second floor of the Cross Tower was usually a fortress. By night, it was supposed to be locked down, patrolled by highly paid security contractors who walked the perimeter every fifteen minutes.But tonight, the corridors were empty. The silence was so profound that Fegor could hear the faint, rhythmic thrum of his own heartbeat hammering against his ribs.He walked carefully down the long, dimly lit hallway, the thick carpeting absorbing the sound of his expensive leather shoes. He was moving on the balls of his feet, tiptoeing past the darkened glass doors of the senior executive suites. Every shadow looked like a trap, every reflection in the glass looked like a guard waiting to ambush him. This was a very risky move.But there were no guards. Fegor had made absolutely certain of that.He hadn’t fought his way in. He hadn't hacked the security grid like some character in an espionage movie. He had simply used the one universal language that every underappreciated worker i
Chapter 248: Ethan Killed His Father?!
Fegor’s stomach plummeted into his shoes. Ethan was here. He hadn't left the building. He was standing right outside on the balcony, ten feet away, separated only by a pane of glass and a curtain. If Ethan walked back inside to grab a drink or check his laptop, Fegor was dead.Every instinct Fegor had screamed at him to run. To sprint for the hallway doors, take the emergency stairs, and disappear into the night.But his feet wouldn't move.The tone of their argument... it wasn't a standard corporate disagreement. It was raw, venomous, and dripping with secrets. Secrets Fegor was willing to hear.Fegor took a slow, agonizingly quiet breath. He was holding the flash drive, but he didn't have the context. He didn't know the full story of what had happened to the Cross family. If he could hear this, if he could capture it...He took the biggest risk of his life.Instead of running away, Fegor crept forward.He moved silently across the thick carpet, pressing his back against the wall rig
Chapter 249: Gotcha!!
The heavy bronze sculpture hit the hardwood floor with a sickening, metallic clang that vibrated through the soles of Fegor’s shoes.Panic, cold and sharp as a razor, flooded his veins."Who's there?!" Ethan’s voice roared from the balcony.Ethan dashed through the curtains, stumbling slightly over the edge of the Persian rug. He was breathing heavily, his eyes wild, the glass of scotch completely forgotten on the balcony table.Margaret was right behind him, her high heels clicking frantically against the floor. She was quite scared.Ethan spun around, scanning the shadows. The room was empty. The leather chair sat exactly where it was supposed to. The laptop was closed. Everything looked perfectly intact, just the way he had left it.Everything except the heavy, abstract bronze sculpture lying on its side on the floor.Ethan pointed a shaking finger at it. He looked at his aunt, his chest heaving."Did you hear that?" Ethan snapped, his voice a harsh, paranoid whisper. "Or are you g
Chapter 250: “There’s A Rat In Your Office”
Ethan scoffed, a dry, humorless sound. He pushed the laptop screen back toward Fegor."I see," Ethan said, his fake smile vanishing, replaced by a cold, hard glare. "So, tell me, Fegor. What part of your working overtime involved walking into my private office to spy on me?"Fegor blinked. He tilted his head slightly, his brow furrowing in a masterful display of utter confusion."Walk into your office?" Fegor asked, his tone perfectly balancing respect and sheer bewilderment. "Why would I walk into your office, Mr. Cross? I have my cubicle. I have my workspace right here."Fegor leaned back in his chair, a small, arrogant smirk playing at the corner of his mouth."Besides," Fegor added, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "When you make me Senior Vice President, I’ll have my own dedicated office on the executive floor. So why would I stroll into your office in the dark?"Margaret tightened her grip on her coat, glaring at the boy. She couldn't believe the audacity.Ethan’s jaw twitched.
