Chapter 70
Melissa was on the phone, her legs crossed over each other, her mind reeling. She had just gotten off the phone with Peter who had affirmed that the vessel would still be used a week from now, and all she had to do was make sure to file it with the correct authorities, and maybe spend a bit of money to clear the way so that they won't have to go through any hitches.Her eyes thinned over the rim of her glass as she kept calculating how much profit it would make. Definitely in the millions. Add to that Caleb's venture. That would be yet another profit stream. Then the video she had, edited and carefully curated, waiting for the NS Corp party so she could drop it like a bomb.She gave a small smile. God seemed to be on her side once again.Suddenly, her phone started to ring. She turned. Her assistant, Anna. Her brows immediately furrowed. Due to the failure of the company to go public, the work was minimal, and Melissa rarely ever heard from Anna.She picked up the pgone and brought it

Caleb slowly took the elevator to the fifth floor, his eyes wide like he had just seen a ghost, his hands still tapping against his thigh like he was trying to wake himself up.Coulter. How could that man maintain a lie for so long? How had none of them even thought about it?He closed his eyes, remembering how the guard at the villa had literally almost bowed to Coulter. The elevator stopped at the fifth floor and opened. He made no move to get out. He needed to be sure. He couldn't possibly go to Dexter and act like he could do anything sensible when there was a possibility that Coulter was out there, watching them all play into his trap like fools.Besides, if Coulter was exactly what he thought Coulter was, then that was probably a much bigger prospect than whatever mediocre deal Dexter could offer him.He pushed the elevator buttons, his resolve hardening. Once the elevator opened at the down floor, he ran out to the parked car outside.He got in, and turned around, pushing the

Caleb closed the door after him, then immediately pulled out his phone. Melissa had given him full written permission to use the vessels. He had gotten it pretty easily, especially due to her own greed, and she had been all took willing to write the permission once he told her that the main man in the business would require it to make sure Caleb wasn't speaking an unauthorised vessel."Hello?" Caleb said once the phone was picked."You either tell me my money is ready or that you got the vessel instead. I don't have patience fo4 your nonsense."Cal3b gave a small smile. "The vessel is ready. Where do I meet you?"There was a slight pause on the phone before Dexter gave a small laugh. "You got that bitch wrapped around your finger, huh? Fine. I will text you an address. If you don't come alone... you know how crazy I can get."Caleb nodded. "I wouldn't dream of it. I will come with the written permission too."The call quenched after that, and Caleb went to the floor, his chest heaving
Chapter 67
"No, I don't want anything ostentatious or too flashy. I don't want a lot of guests either. Just a few frontrunners, the board that stayed during the bankruptcy phase, employees who remained loyal, and a few media persons just for coverage. Nothing too big."Amelia's secretary scribbled fast, then took a step back. "I will put the guest list together for you. I will handle the invited. Currently, the gold embossed invited are a trend among elites. We were thinking of ordering them...""Scratch that," Amelia said, leaning back on her chair. Her hair was pushed back in a ponytail, and she was wearing a simple double-breasted black suit.She looked every inch, the CEO who now had the X shares, a public company, and the man who, unbeknownst to her, ruled the world."I don't want to follow some trend amongst the elites. I want something economical and sensible. There is absolutely no need to spend so much money on an invite that will be thrown out after the event. Please keep that in mind.
Chapter 66
Caleb parked the car in front of the apartment building, then took the elevator to the penthouse. It was eerily quiet by the time he reached there, and something ominous settled in his chest.He mustered the last of his courage and rang the bell.Victoria, the househelp, opened the door, then gave a respectful nod and stepped away."Caleb?"Caleb looked up, his eyes meeting Melissa's. She was now in a loose gown, her hair falling to her back, her eyes still dark with tears, but much, much clearer than it had been in her haze last night."Hey. I came to check on you."Melissa raised a brow but immediately nodded. "Do you want to come up?"Caleb gave a small sigh and pretended to hesitate. Of course, he wanted to come up. He didn't just want to come up. He wanted more. Nut slowly. Baby steps, right?"Fine, I will."Without a word, Melissa backed away, letting the robe she was wearing over the tiny slip silk gown fall, exposing her back and the material that barely reached her thigh, be
Chapter 65
Coulter went through all of the incriminating documents and recordings that Ian had put together on Caleb. His eyes were narrow, and the reading glasses perched on the bridge of his nose as his eyes went through every single line.He finally closed it and leaned back on his seat, his fingers clasped over each other. "Interesting.""It is," Ian said, nodding. "After your earlier request, I tried to check how Melissa and Peter knew each other, to make sure it wasn't just through you, and why he decided to contact her before his own brother."Coulter simply nodded, his eyes still scanning the document in front of him. "There is still no trace yet, but I will dig more. I will make sure to bring you results in a few hours.""I need one more thing." Ian stopped and turned. "Yes, sir?""I was there when Caleb left Amelia to go abroad. He didn't look like someone who cared about her enough back then, and I can't help but realize that she had not started Martinez Corp back then, since I only
