Chapter 51 Hackers
Carter crossed his leg like the Mayor of a city expressing himself on camera—poised, composed, in control. Only that he was not on camera; he was in his living room, yet he carried himself like the world was watching.He grabbed his glass of wine gently and sipped, a slow smile spreading across his face as satisfaction settled in.“Nice…nice…”He continued to nod, his eyes fixed on the screen. Adam and Rachael were doing a good job—better than he had anticipated.In a minute that Adam and Rachael went live, the discussion about Liam Ryder skyrocketed on social media. The reaction was immediate, explosive, exactly the kind of chaos Carter had hoped to ignite.“Wait! Was this not the same man Michael Kingston unjustly sent to prison? So, he’s gotten his wealth from criminal activities.”“Never you envy anyone. You never know how they got their wealth.”Carter smiled as he scrolled through social media, reading all comments and narratives. His plan was working flawlessly; the people were
Chapter 52 Action Taken
Carter furrowed his brow. He knew it, 50 million dollars was a lot of money. What he asked Credit Ally to do was not up to that figure. The gap between the job and the price made his mind tighten, but the situation he was in left him with very little room to negotiate.If it were on normal terms, this was the moment he was going to stop talking to Credit Ally and block his line. But he needed him. And right now, need was stronger than logic.He sighed, the weight of the decision settling in his chest. “Okay,” he sounded.“Yes!!!” Credit Ally clenched his fist in happiness but made sure his voice was very low so that Carter wouldn’t hear it on the phone and know he was very happy Carter was eager to pay. The excitement surged through him, but experience told him to keep it buried beneath calm.On the other end of the call, Carter stared at the laptop screen in front of him, his expression unreadable. The glow from the screen reflected faintly in his eyes as calculations ran silently th
Chapter 53 Alexander Wraithford
Alexander Wraithford sat in his office. As the president of the company, he was the first to arrive and the last to leave every day.Contrary to other types of bosses, he kept working hard to push the company more forward. “10:55pm,” he muttered the instant he turned his eyes to the wall clock in the office, the ticking sound suddenly more noticeable in the quiet room.“I should be going home now,” he said again, though his tone carried reluctance more than decision. Then, he rose up slowly, carried his briefcase and was about to step out of the office when a man walked up to him with hurried steps.“President, someone is trying to hack our security on the backend,” the man, Bossman, bowed as he spoke, his voice carrying urgency.Alexander paused mid-step and turned to him fully.“How?” he asked, his brows narrowing slightly.He had invested a lot of money into the Kingsford Supreme Collective’s security. The system was designed to be nearly impenetrable. So, he didn’t expect that an
Chapter 54 Carter TO Betty
After Carter sent the money, he walked to the bathroom. The tension in his shoulders followed him in. He washed his face and stared at himself for a moment, water dripping slowly down his chin.His thoughts struck him hard, sharper than before. “Liam, you just wait!” he smirked into the mirror as though he could already see tomorrow unfolding in his favor.He stepped out of the bathroom and headed straight to his closet, his steps more deliberate now. He picked out a fresh and clean shirt and a new pair of pants and wore them without hesitation.He rolled his sleeves to half arm length, a habitual gesture that signaled readiness, hence he stepped out of his villa.****“Ma’am, I prepared a fresh fruit juice, please drink.” Lilian bowed as she carried the tray in her hand, careful not to make a mistake.On the tray was the orange juice. She gently placed it down beside Betty, watching her cautiously.Betty was still lying on the bed, unmoving. It had been over 24 hours since she’d retu
Chapter 55 Convince Against Liam
Betty looked at Carter, confusion flashing across her face. What the heck was he saying?It was common knowledge. Grandfather Berry knew Liam so well that he gave her to him and Liam loved her like his heart. That was not something anyone could deny.It was her who chose not to love him back. It was her who was caught cheating on him. And it was her who even demanded a divorce. Those facts were clear, and she had never once tried to deny them.Carter chuckled softly, watching her expression shift. He already knew what was going on in Betty’s heart. The hesitation, the guilt—it was all written on her face. He needed to change her mind immediately before it was too late.“Look, I know we treated him unfairly. That is right. But, do not underestimate what a poor thing like Liam was capable of,” he said, his tone lowering as if revealing something hidden.“Let me show you this.” He slipped his hand into his pocket and brought out his phone without delay.Earlier on, when Mike sent him the
Chapter 56 Confession
Credit Ally understood it completely.There were three types of power. One, the power that couldn’t control itself because the man issuing the power was nothing more than a puppet.Second, the type of power that bends to a higher authority. And lastly, the power that already carries authority within itself.Right now, in this room, all three definitions felt real.Seeing how Liam sat in the chair in his living room, composed and unmoved, and how a man in a suit held him against the wall, it was clear which powers were present.There were two of the three types of power controlling him right now.The one that listens to higher authority… and the higher authority himself.The realization didn’t come as a thought. It came as fear—cold and suffocating.“I can’t breathe…” he struggled to sound. His veins cropped out through his forehead as his body strained against the grip on his neck.“That’s not the answer to the question I asked,” Liam said firmly, his tone calm in contrast to the chao
Chapter 57 Work The Work
“Since Carter hired you to frame me up, why not do some digging about him and find out what he is hiding from the public?”The moment the words left Liam’s mouth, the air in the room seemed to tighten again.Credit Ally, who had just managed to steady his breathing, felt his chest constrict all over.“Okay sir, I can do just—”“You have ten seconds,” Liam interrupted, his voice firmer than before.The statement didn’t sound like a threat.It sounded like a verdict.Credit Ally’s eyes snapped fully open.Ten seconds?To investigate Carter using his tech-savvy skill was not the problem. That was what he did best.But to do it under ten seconds?“Sir—”“10,” Liam interrupted, already counting down.No negotiation.No mercy.“9”“Oh shit,” Credit Ally exclaimed under his breath.His mind raced faster than his fingers could keep up.If he tried to explain, he would lose time.If he hesitated, he would lose his life.He didn’t need another warning to understand that.He lunged toward the ke
Chapter 58 The Doom and The Shock
Carter frowned immediately.His hand trembled slightly as the realization settled in.He knew it—Greenfield was a nation blessed with a stable power supply.There was almost never a time the electricity went out without notice.So there was no way Credit Ally’s phone would be off unless he had deliberately turned it off.And if he did that—Then something was wrong.Very wrong.Carter didn’t waste another second.He turned instantly, stepped into his car, and drove off.The engine roared to life as his thoughts raced ahead of him, piecing together possibilities he didn’t like.The drive felt longer than usual.Every passing second stretched, tightening the knot in his chest.By the time he reached the countryside, his patience was already worn thin.He stepped out of the car and walked toward the door.The house stood in silence.Too quiet.He paused briefly and checked the time.“11pm.”At an hour like this, he knew it—most homes still had at least a light on.A sign of life.A sign
Chapter 59 Board Of Directors
“It’s all over the news. Why the heck would you be doing something like that for?”Carter didn’t know what to say on the phone. His heart raced fast, pounding hard against his chest as if trying to break free.Even if he was going to be caught for having siphoned money from Kingston Enterprises, it was not supposed to be now— not when he already had plans in motion, not when he was still locked in a silent war with Liam. The timing was completely off. Too sudden. Too precise.“Brandon. That happened a long time ago, I promise. Whatever the news is saying—”“Why not turn on the TV and see what the news is saying for yourself.” Brandon hung up the call in his face.The line went dead.For a brief second, Carter remained frozen, the silence pressing against his ears like a warning.“Shit!” Carter cursed.He moved immediately, entering his car without hesitation.What he did—how he stole money from the company—was a deep secret that no one knew about. Not even Michael. And that was exactl
Chapter 60 Beat Him UP
“Mr. Jackson, can we—”The call dropped before Carter could finish his sentence.For a split second, he stared at the screen, unmoving.Then it hit him.His heart drooped. His stomach twisted violently. Everything was happening too fast—too coordinated to be coincidence. This was not what he planned. Not how he planned it. Liam Ryder was the one who should be in doom right now, not him.He breathed heavily, trying to steady the sudden chaos building inside him.If the board were quick to demand his resignation as the heir of his father’s company, then this wasn’t just about the news anymore.Someone had pushed it.And there was only one person close enough to benefit immediately.Brandon.Carter’s grip tightened on the steering wheel.He dashed his leg on the gas pedal, his thoughts unfolding rapidly, connecting one point to another like a vision becoming clearer.Even if Adam Shittu and the rest of his crew had exposed him for stealing company money, the board shouldn’t have reacted
