CHAPTER 100 PART 2
He walked toward Roden's office with steady steps, ignoring the whispers and speculation that erupted behind him.Alicia watched him go with concern etched on her face, her hands clenched into fists on her desk.Meanwhile, across the city, in the sprawling Downey family mansion, a very different scene was unfolding.The main hall of the Downey estate was enormous—a vast space with marble floors, soaring ceilings, and expensive artwork adorning every wall. It was designed to impress, to intimidate, to remind anyone who entered exactly how powerful and wealthy the Downey family was.At the far end of the hall, elevated on a platform that made it look almost like a throne, sat Tony Downey—patriarch of the family, chairman of Downey International, and a man whose word could make or break businesses across multiple industries.He was in his late sixties, but his presence was still commanding. His silver hair was impeccably styled, his suit custom-tailored, and his expression as hard and co
CHAPTER 100 PART 1
Anna stood rooted to the spot as Aria's cold gaze settled on her. But before Aria could speak, Pervis stepped forward slightly, his voice calm and measured."Ms. Coleman," Pervis said, using Aria's formal title in front of the remaining witnesses, "I appreciate your intervention, but I believe the situation is now under control. These employees have been appropriately disciplined."Aria's expression softened marginally as she looked at Pervis, though her eyes remained hard. "Very well. I trust you can handle the rest of your morning without further... interruptions?""I can," Pervis confirmed.Aria nodded once, then turned back to her Maybach without acknowledging Anna at all—a deliberate slight that didn't go unnoticed.The engine purred to life, and within moments, she'd driven away, leaving the parking lot in stunned silence.Pervis straightened his jacket, picked up his briefcase, and walked toward the building entrance without a single glance back at Anna.The remaining employees

She turned to Rodriguez's two colleagues, who'd been standing frozen behind him. "Escort him off the premises. Immediately. If he resists, call the police and have him removed for trespassing.""Ms. Coleman, please!" Rodriguez dropped to his knees right there in the parking lot, his professional dignity completely abandoned. "Please, I'm begging you! I didn't know! How could I have known? They all said he was violent! They said he attacked someone! I was just trying to protect people!""You were trying to look important," Aria corrected coldly. "You saw a crowd and an opportunity to play the hero, and you didn't bother to think or investigate or use even basic common sense. That kind of stupidity doesn't belong in my company.""I have children!" Rodriguez's voice broke as tears began streaming down his face. "Three children! My wife doesn't work! How am I supposed to—""That's not my concern," Aria said, her expression unchanging. "You should have thought about your family before you
CHAPTER 99 PART 1
Chapter 94The parking lot fell into hushed silence as Aria Coleman emerged from the Maybach.She was dressed impeccably in a tailored business suit that probably cost more than most of the watching employees made in a month.Her heels clicked sharply against the pavement as she closed the car door with deliberate precision.Every eye was fixed on her—the legendary CEO of Whitewater Corporation, a woman whose business acumen and family connections made her one of the most powerful figures in the city.Her reputation preceded her: brilliant, ruthless, and completely intolerant of incompetence or disorder.The group of angry workers instinctively quieted, their aggressive posturing fading as they suddenly remembered where they were and who employed them.Even their righteous anger about their destroyed phones seemed to shrink in the face of Aria Coleman's presence.Rodriguez, the lead security guard, saw this as his opportunity to report the situation to someone with real authority.He
CHAPTER 98 PART 2
Pervis stood his ground, his expression unchanging as the crowd surrounded him. He looked around at their angry faces, their clenched fists, their self-righteous fury, and felt nothing but cold contempt."I'm going to make sure you lose your job," one employee threatened, stepping so close that Pervis could see the spittle flying from his mouth. "I have connections in HR. You're getting fired today.""Good luck finding another job after this!" another voice added. "We'll make sure everyone knows what you did!""You're going to regret this for the rest of your pathetic life!"Pervis finally spoke, his voice cutting through the chaos with quiet authority. "I suggest all of you think very carefully about your positions in this company. Think about your jobs. Your careers. Your futures. And then think about whether continuing this confrontation is worth risking all of that."The crowd fell silent for a moment, confused by his calm threat.Then someone burst into laughter—harsh, mocking la
CHAPTER 98 PART 1
Anna staggered backward from the force of the slap, her expensive heels clicking frantically against the pavement as she fought to maintain her balance. One hand flew to her reddening cheek while the other windmilled at her side. She managed to catch herself before falling completely, but her carefully constructed image of control and authority had shattered along with her composure.Her eyes were wide with shock and disbelief, her mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water. No words came out—she was too stunned to speak, too overwhelmed to process what had just happened. Pervis had actually hit her. The gentle, patient man she'd walked all over for years had just slapped her in front of dozens of witnesses.The crowd's shocked silence lasted only a moment before chaos erupted."Oh my God!" someone shouted."Did he just hit her?""He actually struck a woman!""Someone call the police!"At least a dozen phones came out simultaneously, people raising them to capture the aftermat
