CHAPTER 152 PART 2
"By attacking William Coleman's daughters?" Magnus's voice dripped with disgust. "By making enemies of the most powerful family in the region? That's how you protect our interests?"Gerald spoke up tentatively. "Mr. Devoe, perhaps if we explained the situation to Mr. Coleman—""Explained?" Magnus cut him off. "What's there to explain? That my son is an obsessed fool who can't take no for an answer? That he hired thugs to kidnap innocent women? What explanation makes that acceptable, Mr. Roden?"The office fell silent except for Magnus's heavy breathing on the other end of the line."Chris," Magnus said finally, his voice now ice-cold, "you will come home immediately. Not in an hour. Not after you finish whatever pointless scheming you're doing right now. Immediately.""Father, I have meetings—""Cancel them," Magnus commanded. "Or I'll have security drag you out of that office myself. You have exactly thirty minutes to arrive at the villa. If you're even one minute late, I'll have you
CHAPTER 152 PART 1
Chris Devoe stared at his phone screen, his father's name flashing insistently. His hand trembled slightly as he swiped to answer, pressing the device against his ear."Father, I—""Shut your mouth!" Magnus Devoe's voice exploded through the speaker, loud enough that Gerald flinched from across the room. "Do you have any idea what you've done, you incompetent fool?"Chris's jaw tightened. "Father, if you'd just let me explain—""Explain?" Magnus's laugh was harsh and bitter. "Explain how you sent thugs after the Coleman sisters? Explain how you've single-handedly destroyed a business relationship our family has maintained for over two decades? Is that what you want to explain to me?"Gerald shifted uncomfortably, his eyes fixed on the floor. The veins in Chris's neck bulged as he struggled to maintain composure."Those sisters have been interfering with my plans," Chris protested. "Grace has rejected me repeatedly, and that bottom-feeder Pervis—""That bottom-feeder?" Magnus's voice d
CHAPTER 151 PART 2
He walked right up to Gerald, getting in his face. "You're a liability now, Gerald. A weak link. And weak links in my organization get severed before they cause more damage."Gerald went pale. "Mr. Devoe, I've been loyal to you for years—""Loyal?" Chris laughed bitterly. "You call this loyalty? Bringing me failure after failure? Making me look weak and stupid? Exposing me to legal consequences and family disgrace?"He stepped back, his expression cold now instead of simply angry. "The only reason I haven't cut you loose already is because you know too much about my operations. But don't mistake that for job security, Gerald. It just means I need to decide the best way to handle your... disposal."The word "disposal" hung in the air like a threat. Gerald felt sweat beading on his forehead. He'd worked with dangerous people before, had seen what happened to those who became liabilities. He'd never expected to be in that position himself."What makes this worse," Chris continued, moving
CHAPTER 151 PART 1
Chris Devoe's office was on the top floor of the Devoe Industries building—a sprawling glass and steel structure that dominated the downtown skyline. The office itself was ostentatiously decorated with expensive art, imported furniture, and floor-to-ceiling windows that overlooked the city like a throne room surveying its kingdom.But right now, none of that opulence mattered.Chris stood behind his massive mahogany desk, his face contorted with rage, his hands trembling with barely controlled fury. Gerald Roden had just finished explaining the day's events at Whitewater Corporation—Linda's spectacular failure, Pervis's methodical destruction of the accusations, the evidence that had turned the entire office against their planted agent.For a moment, Chris just stood there, breathing heavily, his jaw clenched so tight it looked painful. Then, with a roar of pure rage, he swept his arms across his desk, sending documents, pens, his laptop, his coffee mug—everything—flying across the ro
CHAPTER 150 PART 2
At the mention of Alicia's name, Pervis felt his face warm slightly. Aria noticed immediately and smiled knowingly."Speaking of Alicia," Aria said, her tone shifting to something more personal, "I wanted to discuss her situation with you.""Her situation?" Pervis asked cautiously."Her mother's surgery is scheduled for this week," Aria said. "I've made sure she has the time off she needs and that the medical team understands this is a priority case. Full VIP treatment, the best surgeons, comprehensive post-operative care.""That's very generous of you,"
CHAPTER 150 PART 1
Aria walked back to her desk, pulling out her phone to make a note about tomorrow's emergency board meeting. "You're absolutely right about cleaning house, Pervis. I've been wanting to do this for months, but I needed someone I could trust completely to help lead the charge. Someone who understands what we're trying to build here, not just someone protecting their own interests."She looked up at him with a slight smile. "I'll help you in any way possible. Whatever resources you need, whatever support you require—consider it done. We're family, and family protects each other. Especially when we're taking on entrenched corruption."Pervis felt a weight lift from his shoulders at her words. He'd been prepared to do this alone if necessary, but having Aria's full support—her authority as CEO, her resources, her strategic mind—made everything significantly more viable."There is one thing I need immediately," Pervis said. "A private investigator. Someone trustworthy and efficient. Someone
