Later that afternoon, after the luxury yacht returned to the private marina, the guests gradually disembarked and headed back toward the island resort. Just as everyone believed the investment session had ended, several security officers quietly stopped Mark before he could leave the dock.

Their serious expressions immediately drew attention, causing nearby g

    After Mark stormed out, Natalie's parents entered her office and immediately demanded to know what she planned to do about the company's worsening situation."Natalie," her father said, striding in without knocking, her mother close behind him, "we need to talk. Now.""Not now, Dad," Natalie said wearily, still standing behind her desk, her nerves frayed from the confrontation with Mark."It has to be now," her mother said sharply. "The Whitfield deal just collapsed."They told her that the executives were already putting pressure on them and that they needed a solution before Harrison Group lost the client's business and their position in the company became unstable."The board's been calling us all afternoon," her father continued. "They want answers, Natalie. If we lose Whitfield's business entirely, our own position at this company becomes unstable."Natalie insisted that she had already done everything she could, but her parents refused to accept that."I've already done everythi

    Annoyed, Mark mentioned Joshua and the divorce."Maybe you should ask Joshua for help then," Mark snapped, his frustration boiling over. "Since apparently he's suddenly capable of fixing anything. Or is he too busy enjoying the divorce he probably wanted all along?"Natalie's expression changed.Her face went rigid, the earlier fury sharpening into something colder and far more dangerous.She stepped forward and slapped him across the face.The sound cracked sharply through the office, Mark's head snapping sideways from the force of it.Mark froze, unable to believe she had actually hit him.He stood there, stunned, one hand rising slowly to touch his reddened cheek, staring at her in genuine disbelief.Natalie angrily told him that he had no right to use her divorce against her after everything that had happened."You do not," Natalie said, her voice shaking with rage, "get to use my divorce against me. Not after everything that's happened. Not after everything I've already been thro

    After leaving the restaurant, Mark received an urgent call from Natalie ordering him to return to Harrison Group immediately."Get to my office. Now," Natalie's voice snapped through the phone, sharp with fury.He rushed back without realizing how serious the situation had become.Mark hurried through the front doors, still wearing his wine-stained jacket, his mind racing through possible excuses.The moment he entered her office, he noticed the anger on her face.Natalie stood behind her desk, arms crossed, her expression colder than he'd seen in weeks."Natalie, what's—"Natalie told him that the executives were already discussing whether she should be removed from her position because the client she had promised to secure had withdrawn from the deal."The board is already discussing whether to remove me from my position," Natalie said, her voice tight. "Do you understand that? Whitfield withdrew from the deal, Mark. The exact client I sent you to secure."She had sent Mark to obtai

    "Are you kidding me?" Mark shouted, shoving his chair back and rising sharply, staring down at the dark stain spreading across his jacket.He shouted at the waiter and demanded that the restaurant manager come immediately."Do you have any idea how much this suit cost?" Mark snapped, his face reddening. "Get your manager. Now."When the waiter apologized repeatedly, Mark threatened to have him fired and started bragging about who he was and the kind of people he could call."I'm so sorry, sir," the waiter stammered, grabbing a napkin, his hands trembling. "It was an accident, I'll clean it immediately—""You'll be cleaning out your locker by tonight," Mark snapped, cutting him off. "Do you have any idea who I am? I could have this entire restaurant blacklisted with one phone call. I know people who could shut this place down."Kate's expression slowly changed.Her earlier polite indifference hardened into visible discomfort, her gaze flicking between Mark's furious outburst and the te

    Mark had gone to an expensive restaurant for a business lunch on Natalie's behalf. He sat alone at a reserved table, checking his watch every few minutes, the meeting still fifteen minutes out.While waiting for the person he was supposed to meet, he noticed Kate entering the restaurant.He glanced up as the hostess guided a familiar figure toward a nearby table, Kate's sharp business attire and confident stride catching his attention instantly.Since he had already been interested in getting closer to her, he immediately saw the opportunity.There she is, Mark thought, straightening his jacket. Perfect timing.He approached her with a confident smile and invited her to sit with him."Kate," Mark said, intercepting her path with an easy smile. "What a coincidence. Care to join me while I wait for my meeting?"Kate agreed, mostly out of politeness."I suppose I have a few minutes," Kate said, glancing at her own watch, taking the offered seat more out of courtesy than genuine interest.

    The leader finally admitted that they had arranged the fake documents, stopped Peter's shipment, and ordered the attack because he refused their investment deal."Fine," the investor gasped, still pressed into the chair, his face pale with fear. "We arranged the fake documents. We stopped the shipment. We hired the men who attacked the warehouse. All of it, because Bertan refused our deal."Joshua listened without changing his expression.He stood perfectly still, hands clasped behind his back, his gaze fixed on the man with cold, unreadable patience.He then leaned closer and calmly told him that he had made a serious mistake."You made a serious mistake," Joshua said, crouching slightly to bring himself level with the investor's eyes, his voice quiet and deliberate."You wanted Peter's company. Instead, you brought yourself to me."The man tried to apologize, but Joshua had already ordered his men to collect every piece of evidence connecting them to the operation."Please," the inv
