*****Blake and Sarah were caught off guard by Ronan’s tone. He had always been a spineless coward… a pathetic doormat who never dared to raise his head in their presence.Yet the man before them now seemed like an entirely different person.They exchanged bewildered glances before quickly recovering.“I thought my woman had mistaken you for someone else when she said she saw you,” Blake said, looking Ronan up and down with a mocking smile. “So it really is you.”His gaze lingered on Ronan's clothes before he chuckled.“Honey, it must be fate,” Sarah said sweetly, a cruel smile forming on her lips.After spending months trying to force Ronan out of the company, they had finally succeeded that very morning. They were on their way to celebrate when Sarah spotted him through the restaurant window.At first, neither of them believed it. Ronan had always struggled to afford even the cheapest meals, so seeing him dining at such an expensive restaurant seemed impossible.Yet there he was.“T

*****This company carried Selene’s family's name… the last piece of her family's legacy she still possessed. Yet that same name was now buried beneath scandal, and she'd assumed Ronan would erase it the moment he took ownership.“Sir...” she began cautiously.Ronan waved her off.“I’ve already made up my mind.”Selene’s heart skipped a beat.‘Boss is so kind. He couldn’t bear to see me lose the last legacy I have left.’Her eyes grew moist as she looked at him with quiet gratitude.Ronan didn't notice.His attention had already shifted to another matter.“Can one person operate the machinery?”“No. They need at least two people.”Ronan nodded thoughtfully.“Fine. I’ll assist you when the time comes.”Selene blinked, clearly puzzled, but wisely kept her questions to herself and nodded.“There’s another important thing I need to tell you.”Her expression became serious.“The world will change drastically over the next few weeks.”Selene stared at him in disbelief.“C

*****“That was... harder than I expected.”Ronan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and smiled.He had solved three problems with a single lie.First, his claim that he could make $50 billion tomorrow gave him a convenient explanation for his unbelievable profits.Second, he could continue trading on Black Ledger without constantly worrying about FN Capital.And third, if anyone eventually discovered that he had prepared for the apocalypse in advance, no one would immediately suspect he had been reborn. They would merely think he had seen it in advance.….Meanwhile, in the capital city, the atmosphere inside FN Capital's conference room was unusually tense.The company's senior executives sat around the table, each absorbed in their own thoughts.Finally, an elderly man spoke.“Can he really make that much profit from that amount of capital?”“Impossible,” one of the senior analysts immediately replied. “Unless he has access to insider information, and even that woul

*****Meanwhile, Helene and Joren waited impatiently in the living room for Celeste to return.Finally, the door opened just as the two began to doze off.Celeste stepped inside, looking utterly drained and strangely distant, as though her mind were somewhere else entirely.Helene and Joren immediately rushed toward her.“Daughter, where’s the divorce certificate?” Joren asked excitedly.“Now that you’ve finally dumped that trash, you can take your relationship with Varek to the next stage,” Helene added.Celeste stared at them for a moment before her brows knitted together in anger.They didn't ask how her day had gone or whether she was all right.Even after everything they had done to Xavier, neither seemed capable of feeling remorse.Celeste, meanwhile, had spent the entire day unable to escape the memory of what she had done.The more she thought about wrongly accusing Ronan, humiliating him publicly, and tarnishing his reputation, the heavier the guilt became. She cou

*****Ronan withdrew $49 billion through cryptocurrency, leaving $1 billion in the account.He then opened the trading section.From his memories of his previous life, he knew the market wouldn't experience any major disruptions over the next forty-eight hours.Fortunately, he now had enough capital to exploit what he remembered.Ronan carefully selected several futures and set their take-profit levels. Then he allocated $800 million.Projected profit: $20 billion.It was far lower than yesterday's projected profit, but Ronan was still satisfied.Then he allocated the remaining $200 million in the Black Ledger account on another set of futures.Projected profit: $100 billion.Ronan stared at the figure with nothing but regret in his eyes.He was deliberately sacrificing part of his profit.After his conversation with Kade yesterday, he'd realized he had been far too careless with his winning streak. If he continued producing outrageous profits every day, the attention surr
