WHAT ARE YOU PREPARING FOR?
Xavier's gaze sharpened, but he knew she had a sharp tongue and meant no real harm, so instead of arguing with her, he simply nodded. “Yes.” “I thought you would,” Elena remarked before turning the laptop toward him.A video was paused on the screen, and Xavier immediately recognized himself in the frame. The recording showed him standing beside the black-market executive outside a warehouse, followed by footage of him carrying several sealed cases toward his vehicle.Xavier remained calm as he checked the screen. “Where did you get this?”“I recorded it myself,” Elena answered with a calm face, making him frown. “You were there?”“I was watching the building,” Elena confirmed without hiding anything. “I had been monitoring the location before you arrived.”Xavier observed her carefully. “You've been following me.”“I've been watching Genesis for months,” Elena corrected him before he
COME ALONE
“Mr. Lancaster, the number you asked us to trace is privately protected. It may take at least a week to identify its source.”After hearing that from the person he had hired to trace the number, Xavier ended the call with a quiet sigh. He glanced at the message on his phone and studied the unfamiliar number for several seconds.It was the same number that had sent him the photograph of himself and Marcus outside the bar. He had already tried tracing it through the available records, but the number had been routed through several temporary accounts before reaching his phone, making it difficult to identify who was behind it.Whoever was behind it had taken so many precautions.Xavier opened the message again.‘I know what you're doing.’He didn't respond.Instead, he forwarded the number to someone who could investigate it and placed the phone back on the table.If the sender wanted his attention, they had already succeeded.The question was what they wanted from him.A few hours later
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
