CHAPTER 21
Justin and his father sat across from each other in the quiet office.The tension between them still remained due to everything that had been said earlier. Although the tension was no longer as sharp as before, it had not disappeared completely. On the table between them lay a set of legal documents, neatly arranged and clipped together. At the top of the first page was the official agreement for the transfer of ownership of the Fletcher Conglomerate. The document represented decades of power, influence, and wealth, and now it rested quietly between father and son, waiting for a single signature.Martin Fletcher reached forward slowly and picked up a pen from the table. He held it for a brief moment, as though weighing the significance of what was about to happen, before extending it toward Justin.“Take it,” he said gently, his voice calm but filled with anticipation. “Whenever you are ready.”Justin looked at the pen, his gaze lingering on it longer than necessary. He understo
CHAPTER 22
The moment the thought settled in Justin’s mind, he slowly raised his head and looked directly at his father.His expression calm but filled with curiosity. There was a subtle shift in his demeanor, as he had begun connecting pieces of information that had previously seemed unrelated.“Dad,” Justin began, his tone steady, “do you know the names of the people managing the companies under the conglomerate?”His father leaned back slightly in his chair and nodded without hesitation. “Of course I do,” he replied confidently. “These companies are not run blindly. Every manager was carefully selected, and I keep track of all of them.”Justin gave a small nod, reassured by the answer. He paused briefly before continuing, his gaze still fixed on his father.“That’s good,” he said quietly. “Then tell me… who is currently managing Desktron Technologies?”His father did not answer immediately. Instead, he furrowed his brows slightly, taking a moment to recall the information. He tapped his
CHAPTER 23
Justin spent the rest of the morning and a large part of the afternoon inside the vast and luxurious Fletcher mansion.The hours passed in a strange mixture of quiet reflection and subtle adjustment.He was gradually stepping into a life that had once been taken from him. Servants moved respectfully around him, addressing him as “Young Master” with a tone that carried both reverence and caution, while his father ensured that everything he might need was already prepared without Justin even asking.Despite the comfort surrounding him, Justin found it difficult to fully relax. His mind was still burdened with the events of earlier that day.Britney’s betrayal, Steven’s arrogance, the humiliation he had endured, and the sudden, overwhelming shift in his fortune. It all felt unreal, like a story unfolding too quickly for him to properly grasp.At some point, he leaned back on one of the large, plush couches in the sitting area, letting out a breath as he pulled out his phone. The cra
CHAPTER 24
The car continued moving smoothly along the road.Its engine hummed quietly as it moved through the afternoon traffic with ease. His mind however continued to linger.He was thinking about everything he needed to do before the evening arrived.As the car slowed slightly at an intersection, his eyes suddenly caught sight of a familiar building ahead. It was a tall, modern glass structure with high walls that reflected the sunlight. At the top of the building, bold letters displayed its name: Silver Line Bank.Justin leaned forward slightly. “Stop here,” he said.The driver glanced at him through the rearview mirror. “Here, Young Master?” he asked, a little surprised.“Yes,” Justin replied calmly. “Please pull over by the roadside.”The driver hesitated for a brief moment before carefully steering the car to the side and bringing it to a smooth stop. He turned slightly in his seat, his expression respectful but curious.“Forgive me for asking, Young Master,” he began politely, “but
CHAPTER 25
Justin lowered his gaze again and carefully examined himself, and it was only then that he fully realized how he must have appeared to everyone around him. His clothes were still the same torn janitor uniform from the previous day. Stained with dirt and faint traces of dried blood.In that moment, he could clearly understand why the young woman in front of him had immediately assumed he did not belong there. He let out a quiet breath and nodded slightly, acknowledging the obvious truth in her assumption before lifting his head again to address her calmly.“Yes,” he said in a steady voice, “I am a janitor. But I am not a staff member of this bank. I came here as a customer.”The lady paused briefly, her expression shifting for a split second as she processed his words, and then she let out a short, dismissive sound.“Oh,” she replied, though her tone carried no real change in attitude. Before Justin could continue or clarify his statement further, she tilted her head slightly and ad
CHAPTER 26
The receptionist folded her arms impatiently and glanced past Justin as a few well-dressed customers began to gather behind him, clearly waiting to be attended to. Her expression hardened, and her tone became sharper as she addressed him again.“Look,” she said, her voice filled with irritation, “I really do not have time for this. There are actual clients waiting to be attended to, and I cannot keep them waiting because of… this.” She gestured vaguely at him, her meaning painfully obvious. “If you do not have any real business here, please step aside and let me do my job.”Justin remained where he was, unmoved by her words.He could feel the weight of several curious gazes settling on him from behind, and he knew very well what they were thinking. To them, he was just a poor and wretched boy trying to claim what he's not. A young man causing unnecessary trouble in a place he clearly did not belong. Still, he refused to let that perception dictate how this moment would be.“Ple
CHAPTER 27
The manager wasted no time once he made his decision. He motioned firmly for Justin and the receptionist to follow him, and the three of them moved away from the main banking hall toward the more restricted section of the bank where high-value transactions were processed. Justin walked calmly behind them, holding the card in his hand. Even though the situation around him was filled with suspicion and doubt, he did not show any visible sign of anxiety. Instead, his thoughts remained focused on what his father had told him earlier. According to the explanation he had received, once the contract had been signed and processed, all financial details, including ownership of accounts and access credentials, would be transferred fully into his name. That meant the banking system should already recognize him as the rightful account holder.However, a small doubt lingered in his mind as they approached the ATM section.“If the system update has not been fully completed,” he thought silentl
CHAPTER 28
Justin let out a short, incredulous scoff as the accusations began to fly from every direction. For a brief moment, he simply stood there, staring at the receptionist and the manager as he could not quite believe how quickly the situation had spiraled out of control. What had started as a simple attempt to withdraw money had now turned into a full-blown accusation of theft, and the irony of it all was almost laughable, if it had not been so frustrating.“There is clearly a misunderstanding here,” Justin said, his voice controlled but firm as he tried to insert reason into the chaos. “I did not steal this card.”However, before he could continue or offer any real explanation, the receptionist cut him off sharply, her voice rising as though she had already reached her conclusion and saw no need to hear anything further.“Oh, please!” she snapped, folding her arms as she looked at him with disdain. “Do not even try to make up stories now. We have already seen enough to understand what
CHAPTER 29
The call connected, and the receptionist’s lips curved into a slow, satisfied smile as she turned her gaze toward Justin. There was something triumphant in her expression, as though she had been waiting for this exact moment to unfold.“Well,” she said lightly, folding her arms as she studied him, “this is where everything ends for you. You are about to be thrown into very hot soup, and I hope you are ready for what is coming.”Her tone filled with a mixture of mockery and anticipation, and a few of the onlookers nearby shifted slightly, clearly eager to see how Justin would react. Most people in his position would have panicked by now, or at the very least attempted to plead their case one last time.But Justin did neither.Instead, he let out a soft laugh.It was not loud, nor was it exaggerated, but it was enough to make the receptionist’s smile falter instantly. The sound filled with confidence that did not match the situation he was supposedly in.For a brief moment, she simpl
CHAPTER 30
It did not take up to twenty minutes before the deep, commanding sound of an expensive engine echoed through the front of the bank, drawing the attention of everyone nearby. Outside, a luxury car rolled to a smooth stop at the entrance of Silver Line Bank, its body reflecting the sunlight in a way that immediately set it apart from every other vehicle on the street. Even before the door opened, the atmosphere inside the bank began to change subtly, as something significant was about to happen.Inside, a large crowd had already gathered, forming a loose circle around the unfolding scene. Customers who had originally come for their own transactions had abandoned their queues, whispering among themselves as they watched the confrontation.Some stood on their toes to get a better view, while others leaned forward, eager not to miss a single moment of what was happening.At the center of it all stood Justin.His clothes were still worn and stained from the previous day, his appearance d
