THE TIMELINE HAS CHANGED
“Xavier, aren't you really going to congratulate me even after hearing about how I handled the board?”Daisy's voice came through the phone, carrying a hint of amusement.“Congratulations,” Xavier responded without much enthusiasm.Daisy let out a quiet sigh. “That's all you're going to say? I really expected you to praise me or ask about spoilers.” “If there isn't anything important, I'll hang up,” Xavier told her, already prepared to end the call.“You're as cold as always,” Daisy remarked, but Xavier didn't respond to the comment.Daisy continued before he could end the call. “Actually, I called because I have something important to tell you. Your ex-wife is really desperate.”Xavier's attention shifted toward the phone. “What has she done now?”“She is apparently planning to collaborate with Genesis Bioengineering Group,” Daisy revealed with a suspenseful tone.Xavier's expression changed slightly when he heard the name of the company that had endangered human lives in his previ
I'LL KEEP AN EYE ON THINGS
“Kate really did manage to contact some of the best suppliers,” Xavier murmured with a smile as he checked the new payment slips she had sent him.He leaned back and sighed. “Still, there are so many things I need to stock up on before time runs out.”He compared each amount with the list of supplies before placing the documents into separate piles.Just then his phone vibrated on the table.Xavier picked it up and read the message from his lawyer.‘George has obtained photographs of you meeting the former soldier, Marcus, and several suppliers. Ms. Selene may use them publicly to tarnish your reputation.’ Xavier wasn't surprised, he opened the photographs attached to the message.The first showed him leaving a warehouse, the second captured his meeting with Marcus, and the third showed him speaking with the black-market supplier Kate had introduced him to.He went through the pictures without much concern.George had found something he could use to create suspicion, but there was no
THE EVIDENCE AGAINST XAVIER
“Bastards! How dare they treat me like this? I'll make them pay for this!” Selene stomped her foot in frustration, still furious over the humiliation she had endured at the hands of the hotel security guards.“Sister Selene.”A familiar voice reached her from behind.Selene stopped and turned around to find George hurrying toward her.“Geo, what are you doing here?” she questioned, clearly surprised to see him there."Sister Selene, are you okay? That security, they didn't misbehave with you, did they?"Selene clenched her fist but remained silent. She didn't want to mention something so humiliating and put herself through the embarrassment all over again.However, trying to divert the conversation, she changed the subject. “What exactly are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be at the company at this time?”George lowered his head and kept his voice soft. “I know all these problems are happening because of me, so I came here….”“So?” Selene prompted when he stopped.George remai
OURS?
“I'm giving you one last opportunity to correct everything, Xavier. Bring the investors back to Horizon.”Selene stood in front of Xavier with her arms crossed, her anger still visible after their argument about his shares. The only reason she came to meet him was because she had convinced herself that the situation could still be fixed if Xavier was willing to cooperate.Xavier continued working, checking the amounts against the list of supplies before placing each document into a separate pile and giving Selene his attention.“Under what authority are you ordering me to do that?”Selene frowned at him. “What kind of question is that?”“You came here, argued with me, and blamed me for your problems. Now you're ordering me to bring your investors back...” Xavier replied. “I'm simply wondering why you think I'm obligated to follow your orders after you removed me from the company.” “You don't need to pretend, I know that you still have connections with them,” Selene insisted. “You ca
THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR CHOICE
“You worked there, but that doesn't make my shares yours.” Xavier kept his voice calm throughout the time. “My ownership of the company never depended on our marriage.”“You were my husband, so you should have considered me before making a decision that could affect Horizon,” Selene insisted, as though being his wife gave her authority over his decisions.“And you still demanded that I transfer my shares to George,” Xavier pointed out the decisions she had made before. “What happened to the role of a husband then? When I sell my own shares, I have to consider your opinion and worry about hurting your feelings, but when you demanded that I give those shares to an outsider, did you consider my opinion? Did you worry about hurting my feelings?”Selene paused, but only briefly before defending herself. “That was different. Don't try to act smart by mixing up two completely different things. Geo wasn't an outsider. He was by my side like a little brother, and he did a lot for me and the co
NO, IT DOESN'T
“Kate really did a wonderful job. I made the right decision by trusting her.”Xavier sat on the sofa in his hotel room, carefully reviewing the payment slips Kate had sent him for the supplies she had purchased for his preparations.He had already approved several large purchases, and Kate was sending him the receipts and payment records as each transaction was completed.The bell rang before he could finish checking the latest batch.He placed the documents on the table and walked toward the door. When he opened it, he found Selene standing outside.His brows drew together.“What are you doing here, Ms. Selene?”“I should be the one asking you what the hell you're doing,” Selene fired back as she stepped inside without waiting for an invitation. “What did you think, hiding in a hotel would make you invisible? How could you sell your shares to Daisy? Who the hell gave you permission to do that?”Xavier closed the door behind her and remained calm. “They were my shares, so it was my ch
