They all watched as he connected to an API.An interface sprang open. Basic looking. No name.Only a logo of an embossed spider with its web entwining around a globe.When Adrian first created the API for his network, he had no idea he would be using it to convince doubtful board members one day.Two panels appeared.Adrian inserted the affair video into panel A.Chairman Hex's video into panel B.Then he clicked a single command.

“In a month?”He shook his head at Adrian's ignorance, saying, “Oh, you poor fool. Talking big must have got to your head, huh? You who couldn't even make a thousand dollars for decent clothes want to make over two hundred million in a month? I don’t even have to stress myself over you. You already dug your own grave.”“Yes, that really seems over the top. Especially for someone who had no idea what we do,” said a member.Adrian smiled to himself at that. If only they knew who sat among them.Knows nothing? Products superior to theirs are nothing to him.And with his network? He had studied much more than a small company like Echelon.Scot

“Sir? But the public will want to know. A company with no leadership is ripe for scavengers,” Gibson said.“Yes, Mister, erm…chairman. Compared to many companies that span generations, Echelon is still a baby. Our line of business also makes most of them overlook us. Chairman Hex tried his best to give us recognition here in Aurion, but if we stay without a lead now, anybody could take a swipe at us,” said the orange-suited woman.“I understand that. We will announce that Echelon has a new chairman. The only thing is my identity shouldn't be known by others for now. Edward will be the face of the company for now. In the meantime, I will join the development department. To turn this company around, I need to work with the core of the company. I don't want to do that from the chairman's office. I want to be in the midst of it

Ears still ringing with the scolding she got from her father, Whitmore knocked on the Vales' door.There was a time the Vales were mighty in Aurion and their yard teeming with guards.At the moment, there was even no one at the door.Whitmore wrinkled her nose at the thought of having to come to such a household for the reason she was.Then she knocked again.“Coming.” Someone called from within just before the door opened.A maid with an apron over her black dress stood there.“How may I help you, Miss?" she asked politely.The audacity angered Whitmore as she glared at her. “You don't know me?”“Uhm, I am sorry. I…”“Get out of my way. I don't speak with the help.” She pushed the maid to one side and stepped inside.Even from the foyer it was clear that this was a home that had once known grand wealth.From the double wide doors to intricately designed glass furniture to the linoleum tiles, it was clear.Just as it was clear that none of this had been changed recently.“Ugh, they cou

“I have something to ask her.” Whitmore almost snapped, tired of the niceties."Well", Helena sat, then turned to Whitmore. “If you have something to tell her, you can say it to me. My stepdaughter is busy.”Whitmore was done playing nice. She turned to Vivian. “You know I can make things worse for you in Aurion, don't you? Your family's dying power can't stop mine. Are you sure you want to make an enemy of me?”“Miss Monroe, I won't sit here and watch you threaten my daughter in her own…”“Seraphina! Someone is looking for you!” Vivian shouted so loudly that Whitmore quickly covered her ears.She looked at her with barely veiled contempt.

Chapter 86
Whitmore was beginning to think coming here was a big mistake.They thought he had no money? Then they would almost faint if she told them the exact amount.She almost said it to get their attention, but the greedy look on the duo’s faces as they moved closer stopped her.Adrian's money belonged in their bank.Her main goal was to get it back so her father could invest with it and even get more.If this family knew the exact amount, they might start pressuring him to give them money, which would reduce his deposit. Whitmore couldn't risk that.“Maybe you should go to the Cross residence. Like I s
Chapter 87
Whitmore's visit to the Crosses' mansion coincided with when they were dealing with a dilemma.“Five hundred million? How can a pair of earrings be worth that much? That is highway robbery.” Patricia spoke agitatedly as she walked back and forth in Richard's study.“Would you stop pacing? You are giving me a headache." Richard's rigid tone cut through her anxiety.She stopped moving, but her hands wouldn't stop clutching her pearl necklace as she bit her lips in thought.Her face was tight with worry.It's been days since Daniel's punishment. Five days.He was supposed to be returned to them that day, only for the commander to send them a picture of a diamond ear
Chapter 88
There was only one Miss Monroe in Aurion.Patricia couldn't imagine what the girl would want with her.Could it be that words had got out and she was here for gossip?Her breath caught at that but then she shook her head.That was unlikely. Even the maids here don't know what actually happened, and the general's staff are classified staff who wouldn't dare breathe a word of what they saw under his roof.“So the girl must be one of those trying to get deals from my family.” Patricia thought.“We are not seeing anyone. Send her away. And the next time you disturb me with such nonsense, make sure you pack your bags.”

“I see you’ve finally grown sensible.”Geoffrey’s statement rang in Seraphina’s ears as she drove up the Crosses’ driveway.The wheels felt smooth under her hands. A faint smile was on her face as she thought of her father’s hypocrisy.Everything that once belonged to her mother was now under the control of her father and his family.Since Helena had decided that all good things belonged to her and her daughter, even a car was a luxury not to be wasted on Seraphina.But today, as they were sending her to the lion’s den, so to speak, all the cars that were always unavailable when Seraphina wanted to go out were now free.Seraphina did
Chapter 90
Hours agoAfter leaving the company, Scott headed to his favourite club, Chessire.Patrons of Chessire are mostly from elite families and their approved circles.Scott had barely settled in his assigned lounge when his minions gravitated to his side.Scott might not be on the same scale as the likes of Daniel Cross, but he was still the heir of a known company.Scott had bragged in their presence about handling the company soon.Now that the old man was dead, they knew Scott was worth far more.“Young master, now that you are the chairman, please don't forget us," a young man said as he moved closer to toast Scott.“Yes, Chairman Lancaster. You can't forget us now, you know. We have always been loyal to you,” a lady said coquettishly, batting her eyelashes at him, even though she was seated beside her boyfriend.“Yes, Master Scott. Sandra has a BSc in computer science. How about she come see you later to show you her assets?” her boyfriend shamelessly offered, knowing that if she set f
