Chapter 52: The Mask of the Predator
Regret hit her like a rising tide, cold and suffocating. Rose stared at the closed door of her office, imagining Samson’s stalwart figure usually standing guard there, ready to act as a shield against any storm that came her way."He didn't betray me," Rose whispered, her voice hoarse with suppressed emotion. "On the contrary, he was protecting me from my blindness."Rose wiped a stray tear from her cheek. She couldn't afford to be weak now. The documents before her were undeniable proof that her father was walking towards a precipice, and only she could pull him back before it was too late. However, she also knew that Emran was no ordinary adversary. If the man had the audacity to forge state documents, he wouldn't hesitate to take more desperate measures if backed into a corner.Rose pressed the intercom on her desk. "Indah, is Samson still there?""I heard he’s still standing in the lobby, Miss," Indah replied. "Should I call him up?""No, leave him be for now. Please make me some
Chapter 51: The Double-Edged Sword of Loyalty
Samson drove at high speeds, weaving through the city's heavy traffic. His mind was a battlefield, torn between the guilt of defying Rose’s direct orders and a fierce determination to protect her from the destruction Emran had meticulously planned.Upon arriving at Armour Café, Samson quickly spotted Clara sitting in a corner, shielded from public view. On the table before her lay a thick brown envelope, resting there with an air of cold significance."You’re fast," Clara greeted him with a faint, inscrutable smile."Let’s get straight to it, Clara. Where are the documents?" Samson sat down without preamble.Clara slid the envelope towards him. "Emran's company illegally seized land from residents, and these are copies of the dual certificates and statements from those affected. He used thugs to intimidate villagers into relocating for inhumane compensation. If this reaches the media or the authorities, the Green Residence project will be shut down instantly."Samson opened the folder
Chapter 50: The Ultimatums
Samson stood outside Rose’s office, occasionally glancing toward the tightly closed door."What’s wrong, Sam?" Indah asked, noticing his restlessness."I’m just worried about Miss Rose," Samson replied."Why don't you go in? Usually, you're always inside the office with her," Indah said, confused to see Samson waiting in the public area outside Rose's private room."Actually, Miss Rose is quite angry with me right now. So, I don't dare—" Samson couldn't bring himself to finish the sentence."Hmm... as far as I know, Miss Rose rarely gets angry, especially with someone she trusts. Maybe she’s just under a lot of pressure. Once she calms down, she’ll call for you again, Sam. Relax, don't let it get to you," Indah said, trying to soothe him. Instead of feeling relieved, however, Samson grew even more anxious.He offered a weak smile at Indah’s consolation. He knew Rose’s anger this time wasn't just work-related stress. It was about a perceived betrayal of trust and a feeling that her dig
Chapter 49: The Unmasked Truth
"Good morning, Miss Rose," Samson greeted her while opening the car door.Rose observed Samson closely for a moment before entering the vehicle without a word. Samson quickly followed and took his place in the driver's seat.Throughout the journey, Rose stole glances through the rearview mirror as Samson navigated the morning traffic."I didn't know you were so close with Clara Beatrice Santoso."Screech!Samson spontaneously slammed on the brakes the moment he heard Rose's words."Ah, I’m sorry, Miss," Samson muttered, regaining his composure and continuing to drive, though his heart was pounding uncontrollably."W-what do you mean, Miss?" Samson asked, trying to play it cool."I know it was you, Sam. 'Samuel,' the supposed investor from London who arrived with Clara Beatrice Santoso—that was you, wasn't it?" Rose guessed, her eyes fixed on him."Miss, I—""I don't like people who lie and try to deceive me. If you’re actually working for Clara, you can resign right now, Sam," Rose sa
Chapter 48: The Shattered Façade
"I’m not lecturing you," Samson replied calmly. "I’m simply saving my associates' assets from a fraudulent investment."Rose, who had been listening with a tense expression, turned to Emran with a demanding gaze. "Emran, answer me honestly. Is there really a land dispute? Why wasn't my father informed about this?""Rose, darling, it's merely a minor issue that the legal team is addressing," Emran stuttered. He tried to reach for Rose’s hand, but she pulled away."The Green Residence project is new. If there is indeed information regarding a land dispute, I will personally re-examine it and ensure there are no future issues," Rose explained. Emran's defense was a necessity for her, given the project's connection to her family's corporate reputation.Hearing Rose’s explanation, Samson felt a tightness in his chest. He knew how fiercely Rose protected her family’s business and the heavy burden she carried to maintain their honor—to the point where she was willing to push aside her happin
Chapter 47: The CEO Identity
"Impossible, Emran. He just returned from London," Clara said, immediately shielding Samson, who remained silent, returning Emran’s gaze with a sharp, piercing stare."Ah, I see. Yes, I suppose it’s impossible for someone like him to be here anyway," Emran remarked."Someone like him? Who exactly do you mean?" Clara challenged."Oh, no one. Just an unimportant person," Emran replied dismissively.If Emran knew that the man he regarded as trash was currently standing right in front of him in a suit far pricier than his own, he would likely lose his nerve instantly."Unimportant people are usually the ones who know our deepest secrets best, Mr. Emran," Samson interjected, his voice a deep, steady baritone. He intentionally shifted his intonation to sound more authoritative.Emran was momentarily stunned, surprised by the boldness of this "Samuel" he had only just met. "Hahaha, you have a point, Samuel. But in the business world, what matters is who holds the power, not who knows the mos
