A sudden silence took over, sweeping across the hall.But it could barely last for a few seconds before murmuring took over. “Does it mean that Mr. Sterling will be fired?” “He has only been the Manager of Prime Tech for three years. How come?” “How does that stranger know about this?”There were too many questions that needed to be answered, the eyes in the crowd demanding an immediate response. Soon, the inquisitions were echoing inside Charles’s mind, causing him to shake his head. “That’s enough!” He roared at Brian, breathing fury. “Take this liar out of this place! He knows nothing!” “You are the one who has refused to say the truth, Charles Sterling.” Brian was in another mode.He was not just speaking with confidence, he was speaking with authority.His eyes spread toward the two guards standing bemused in front of him, then he exhaled sharply. “Prime Tech is about to have a new Manager. I am sure you wouldn’t want to be fired when he finally arrives. This

“Oh my God!” Arya muttered, her chest tightening as she stared with wide eyes.If she had her way, maybe she would have asked the Event Manager to wait for a while, so that she could get a grip on herself. No one knew the reason why Ethan was about to announce the selected companies. No one except Brian. The Event Manager held onto the tablet that had always been in his possession, flanked by two very important executives in Prime Tech. One of them was Owen Adkins, the Deputy Manager. A man who seemed unsymbolic because he had been sidelined by Charles Sterling.Yet some of those who knew how intelligent he was were aware that he was the brain behind some of the major projects that had been carried out in recent times. Dressed in a very simple but fitted black suit, he stood at Ethan’s right side, his expression plain and unreadable. Ethan turned to him, and at his approval, he continued. “I have here with me, the list of the companies that have been carefully selected

“Why is he looking at me?” Arya couldn’t stop herself from asking, her eyes wide below her furrowed brows. Brian chuckled softly, and this time he decided not to say a word. Ethan returned his gaze to the screen, and as he withdrew it again, he announced; “Link Tech!” He was elated, returning his gaze to Arya like he was more pleased than she was going to be. “Did he just say Link Tech?” Arya had to turn to Brian, hoping her ears were not deceiving her. “You heard right, Arya. Two hundred and fifty billion dollars. Just for you.” Arya felt her breath shaking, her mouth refusing to shut as she gaped. “But how? There were many better companies. How did I get chosen?” She asked a question that Brian was not ready to answer, her eyes still wide like they were about to explode. Everyone turned to the power couple who seemed to have been left out of the Power Line Project, staring especially at the CEO of Apex Ventures. Romeo was already enraged, his eyes flaming violentl

“Who are you talking about?” Brian asked with a soft tone, but when he realized that he wasn’t going to get a response by just asking, he decided to turn toward the same direction Arya was looking.He saw them. An old man probably in his early seventies, a young man in his early thirties, and six bodyguards who were bouncing behind them. The two men in front were dressed in the same tuxedos, looking like the old and young versions of each other.From the way people stared and pointed, Brian could already tell who they were. “Let me guess…” He slowly returned his gaze to Arya, catching sight of the worry on her face.“That’s your Grandpa, and your brother.”“You guessed right.” Arya let out a heavy sigh, yet she couldn’t attain relief.“I wonder what they are doing here, Brian. It’s been barely thirty minutes since the close of the event.” Arya kept on staring, but she couldn’t look either of the two men in the eyes.She looked above them, but that didn’t look like it was

“You have to believe it, Arya. I just did.” Brian held onto his smile, and then he took a deep breath.“But why?” Arya couldn’t let it go, the intense desire to know the truth. “Let’s just say that I have finally found a purpose.” “Oh…” Arya pretended to be satisfied by Brian’s response for the second time, nodding with a deadpan expression.“I am very sorry that you were not invited to the celebration. But I am grateful that you did a great job. I will send you the balance once I am settled.” Brian chuckled softly, causing Arya’s expression to drop.The lady was already asking why he was laughing with her eyes. “Don’t worry, Arya. You can give me the balance. At the party.”“You are coming?” Arya inquired with arched brows, staring even when Brian nodded.“Yes. And I will be coming with some flowers for my future wife.” “But…” “You don’t have to say anything, Arya.” Brian stopped her before she could continue with her slippery voice, still holding onto his confident
