Across the mall, Celine was signing the final documents for her enormous order, unaware that her purchases were contributing directly to the revenue of Damian's company. The management team recorded the sales, confirmed the payments, and began arranging deliveries. By the time Celine finally left, she had spent a fortune attempting to humiliate two women who had never intended to compete with her in the first place. And because the mall operated under Damian's business network, the profits would eventually reach the same man whose death she had mocked throughout the afternoon. Later that evening, Damian received the complete sales report. He examined the figures, then leaned back in his chair with an amused smile. "She really bought all of that?" Marcus nodded. "The total is considerably higher than the mall's usual daily revenue. The man

Damian ended the call and turned his attention to the documents on his desk. His expression remained relaxed, but his mind was already working through the possibilities. If everything went according to plan, the acquisition would strengthen Whitewood Group's business portfolio while giving him another opportunity to watch Celine dig herself into a deeper hole. By the following afternoon, Marcus had found a suitable company: a luxury automobile dealership with an established customer base, an impressive showroom, and exclusive distribution agreements for several high-performance sports cars. Its owner had been considering retirement and was willing to sell at a reasonable price. Damian reviewed the financial reports, checked the company's outstanding obligations, and approved the acquisition after Marcus confirmed that there were no significant hidden liabilities. The transaction moved quickly, and the dealership became part of Damian's growi

"Madam, before we proceed with the limited-edition vehicle, we need your confirmation regarding the final payment arrangement. There's one detail that requires your attention." Celine frowned as she looked down at the document. Her confidence began to waver. Celine stared at the financial document, annoyed that the purchase was taking longer than she had expected. She was accustomed to making decisions and watching other people rush to carry them out, not sitting in a showroom while someone explained payment requirements to her. "What exactly is the problem?" she demanded. The sales consultant maintained his polite expression. "There isn't a problem with your application, madam. However, because this particular vehicle is a limited-edition model, the dealership requires additional confirmation before finalizing the transaction. We need to verify the payment method and ensure that the funds are availa

The acquisition had saved the company from possible closure, but its financial condition before the purchase had been quite poor. Some employee payments were overdue, while several experienced mechanics were at risk of losing their jobs because of the workforce-reduction plan drawn up by the previous owner. Damian placed the file on the desk."How many employees still haven't received what they're owed?" he asked. Marcus opened a document on his tablet. "Several departments have overdue payments. The previous owner planned to reduce the workforce before selling the company, especially those considered too expensive to keep. One of them is the head mechanic, who has worked there for almost fifteen years." "Was his performance poor?" "No. Based on the records we've reviewed, he's actually one of the most experienced people there. He also trained most of the younger mechanics who now work in the

Damian read the notification seriously. The system was not ordering him to do anything, nor was it promising a specific reward. It was simply pointing out an opportunity that aligned with the investigation already underway. "Marcus," he said, picking up the phone. "Find out who the former employee mentioned in the report about the suspicious transactions is. I want to hear their account directly, but make sure everything is handled properly. We won't force them to provide information or promise anything we may not be able to deliver." "Understood, sir. I'll arrange a meeting." Damian ended the call and watched the notification slowly disappear. He did not know how many points he might earn, or whether the person he was about to meet truly had any important information. But he knew that allowing someone to lose what they were owed simply because the former company was trying to cover up its mistakes was not an option he c
