“He has absolutely nothing to do with us.”The assistant could no longer tolerate insults that should never have been directed at her or her boss.Her employer had already been looked down upon by these people.She could not allow her to be humiliated even further by being seen as the boss of such a foolish man.“He’s just a lost man pretending to know Miss Maddox.”What?Hahaha!“My God! This is hilarious! Absolutely hilarious!”The entire room grew even louder.Instead of an office, it now felt more like the lobby of a bar.Everyone present probably couldn’t remember the last time this room had been this lively since the day it was built.“That’s enough!”Riley turned her head, glaring sharply at her assistant.“Mr. Garvey knows Mr. Hamilton. He is definitely not just anyone!”“Ma’am, are you really going to allow yourself to be humiliated even further?”the assistant replied.“Think about the Maddox family. Think about Highland Enterprise.If you lose face here, what will happen to

Riley turned her head to the side and looked at Martin again.There was nothing particularly special about him, yet the possibility kept circling in her mind.This man might look extremely ordinary.But that was exactly what strengthened her suspicion."That’s right. That must be the reason. There’s no way Mr. Garvey would come here without someone backing him."That was what she believed.Besides, Riley knew that Alfred had always worked for powerful figures."If he had sent Mr. Garvey to acquire this company, did that mean Mr. Hamilton himself had received instructions from someone else?"Riley didn’t know who that person was.But if she were to guess, it would be someone who could not be underestimated—not even by people from the upper class like herself.“Mr. Garvey, please forgive me,” Riley said.“But are saying you came here at Mr. Hamilton’s request?”If this man nodded, she would have no reason to retreat anymore.“If that’s truly the case, I can understand you. You don’t ne

“Mr. Wightman, didn’t you say there was nothing this gentleman could possibly do in this place?”Riley looked at George as she tilted her head toward Martin.“But what if he really does make you an offer that large?” she continued calmly.“I doubt you’d be the one unable to do anything then.”Riley spoke clearly and firmly. A faint smile curled on her lips.“You’d probably be the one forced to say no—even though what you’re afraid of losing isn’t actually yours to begin with.”She was deliberately provoking George.Everyone knew that George was not the founder of Palm Coast Enterprise.But few knew that he had used underhanded methods to seize the largest shareholding.“Huh? What did you just say?”George sneered as he stared back at Riley, his expression filled with disdain.“You think I’d believe your words—that this vagrant could actually pay?”He pointed at Martin with a contemptuous gesture.“I don’t know who’s dumber at this point.”Laughter immediately erupted throughout the r

When George saw Riley looking straight at the shareholder he hated most, he finally realized that the situation was far more serious than he had imagined.“You think you can threaten me with empty words like that?” George scoffed.“What can a child like you possibly do? Before you were even born, I was already ruling this city. No one can do anything to me. No one can touch me.”He then shifted his gaze toward James.“You think you can work together with this girl to push me out?”“Her father may be extremely wealthy, but he won’t lift a finger to help you. You’re alone in this war.”Hearing that, Michael couldn’t help but sneer.He had always been on James’s side.All this time, he had merely been waiting for the chance to repay what George had done to the company’s founder.When Zac arrived earlier, he had nearly lost hope.But now—seeing the situation turn around—his blood began to boil with excitement.The day was not over yet.There was still something he could do to prevent the

“It’s impossible!”Everyone in the room fell silent, their eyes locked onto Martin, who was sitting calmly in his chair.“How could he possibly have that much money?”Even the Mercer family wouldn’t make payments that easily.But this man?If he could casually transfer that amount—and still afford to buy even more shares—then one thing was painfully clear.He was far richer than Zac.Amid the shock and confusion, they all reached the same conclusion.This man was not someone they could treat lightly.“No! No! No!”Zac shook his head violently.“No! It’s impossible! How could you keep that much money in your account?”He pointed at Martin, fury blazing in his eyes.“It’s fraud! No one keeps their money in a bank! No one!”He was practically screaming, barely able to restrain himself.Among the ultra-wealthy, financial habits were very different from what ordinary people imagined.They didn’t store money as idle cash—it was inefficient.Instead, if it wasn’t locked into deposits or inve

“Mr. Garvey, please forgive us.”The two of them stood up from their seats and bowed toward Martin.“We made a huge mistake by not trusting you. We also said things that were completely inappropriate. We are the ones who deserve to be called foolish—utterly foolish. We sincerely apologize.”“Please, take your seats again.”Martin raised both hands, signaling for them to sit back down.“I didn’t come here to cause trouble, let alone make enemies. I’m only interested in doing business with you.”Hearing Martin’s response, they felt as though a massive weight had been lifted from their chests.Smiling broadly, they spoke again.“We’re willing to sell our shares. But…”The two of them glanced at each other before continuing.“Are you willing to pay us the same amount you paid Mr. Talbot?”Martin chuckled softly.“Of course.”He began typing on his phone once again.“Five hundred million transferred to the company account under the names of Mr. … and Mr. …”What?Once again, the room fell

“Of course. What wouldn’t I do for you? Whatever you ask, I’ll do it.”George spoke with a wide smile and the friendliest expression possible, as if he had completely forgotten that just minutes ago, he had been one of the people most viciously belittling Martin.At that moment, Zac rushed over.“Mr. Wightman, what are you doing? Didn’t you agree to sell your shares to me? Why are you trying to sell them to this con artist instead?”“Zac.”George immediately turned toward Cassandra’s cousin when he heard Martin being called a con artist.“Watch your mouth, buddy. Mr. Garvey is not a con artist. He pays for whatever he wants.”“I’ll pay too,” Zac shot back just as loudly.“Then let me make the payment right now.”“Really?”George stared back at Zac, narrowing his eyes.“Are you going to pay for all of my shares? If you are, I’ll give them to you.”“What?”Zac couldn’t hide the shock on his face.He understood that the old man was playing with him.“You’ll regret this, old man! You’ll r

“Martin.”A voice called out from behind him.When he turned around, Riley was running toward him.“I don’t know how you did it, but I’m really happy.”When Riley reached Martin, she slightly opened her arms, spreading them just a little. She really wanted to hug him.But seeing that the man simply stood there, smiling calmly at her, Riley pulled her hands back to her sides.“Thank you,” she said. “If it weren’t for your help, I might never have gotten it.”Riley wasn’t just thanking Martin for helping her obtain the shares.More than that, this man had helped her find the courage that had long been buried deep in her heart.Courage that made her no longer afraid to face Zac—or anyone else.Without saying it out loud, Riley felt deeply indebted to him.“Miss Maddox, it was nothing,” Martin said, shaking his head. “If anything, I should be the one thanking you for helping me.”“No. You don’t need to thank me for anything.”Riley shook her head as she continued to look at him.“Oh, righ

“Yes.”That was all Martin said.Being hugged from behind by a girl made him feel a little awkward.He didn’t want her to hug him, but at the same time, pushing her away would have been extremely impolite.“Ma’am, we really have to go now.”The assistant immediately approached her.Her expression was displeased—but it wasn’t directed at Riley. It was aimed at Martin.Just like Riley, she believed that Martin didn’t have any money.And that everything he had done was thanks to Alfred’s help.A man without money was not worthy of someone like Riley.That was why she believed it was her duty to keep the young lady away from a man with no future like him.“Please.”The assistant even rolled her eyes slightly, signaling Martin to push the girl away.But before she could say or do anything else, Riley had already pulled herself away.“I’ll be waiting for you in the capital,” she said, stepping farther away from Martin.Martin simply nodded.“And I’ll be very angry if you don’t contact me.”

“Sir, should I go now?”Through the phone line, Alfred asked Martin.According to the plan, after Martin successfully acquired Palm Coast, Alfred would approach the Hayes family to negotiate over the oak forest land.“No. Not now. Wait for my next instruction.”“But sir,” Alfred replied, “I’ve heard that the Hayes is desperately trying to find a buyer. I’m just worried we might fall behind if we don’t act immediately.”“They won’t find anyone. The Mercers will block anyone from getting close to them.”Martin answered with certainty.His experience with the people in the boardroom had given him a crucial clue.If a company as large as Palm Coast was powerless in front of the Mercers, then almost no company in this city would dare to make a deal with the Hayes.“I have a feeling the Mercers will make a move,” Martin continued. “But not today.”After Zac’s failure to acquire Palm Coast’s shares, the Mercers certainly wouldn’t want to lose a second time.Still, this time, they would move
