Chapter 58 The Doom and The Shock
Carter frowned immediately.His hand trembled slightly as the realization settled in.He knew it—Greenfield was a nation blessed with a stable power supply.There was almost never a time the electricity went out without notice.So there was no way Credit Ally’s phone would be off unless he had deliberately turned it off.And if he did that—Then something was wrong.Very wrong.Carter didn’t waste another second.He turned instantly, stepped into his car, and drove off.The engine roared to life as his thoughts raced ahead of him, piecing together possibilities he didn’t like.The drive felt longer than usual.Every passing second stretched, tightening the knot in his chest.By the time he reached the countryside, his patience was already worn thin.He stepped out of the car and walked toward the door.The house stood in silence.Too quiet.He paused briefly and checked the time.“11pm.”At an hour like this, he knew it—most homes still had at least a light on.A sign of life.A sign
Chapter 57 Work The Work
“Since Carter hired you to frame me up, why not do some digging about him and find out what he is hiding from the public?”The moment the words left Liam’s mouth, the air in the room seemed to tighten again.Credit Ally, who had just managed to steady his breathing, felt his chest constrict all over.“Okay sir, I can do just—”“You have ten seconds,” Liam interrupted, his voice firmer than before.The statement didn’t sound like a threat.It sounded like a verdict.Credit Ally’s eyes snapped fully open.Ten seconds?To investigate Carter using his tech-savvy skill was not the problem. That was what he did best.But to do it under ten seconds?“Sir—”“10,” Liam interrupted, already counting down.No negotiation.No mercy.“9”“Oh shit,” Credit Ally exclaimed under his breath.His mind raced faster than his fingers could keep up.If he tried to explain, he would lose time.If he hesitated, he would lose his life.He didn’t need another warning to understand that.He lunged toward the ke
Chapter 56 Confession
Credit Ally understood it completely.There were three types of power. One, the power that couldn’t control itself because the man issuing the power was nothing more than a puppet.Second, the type of power that bends to a higher authority. And lastly, the power that already carries authority within itself.Right now, in this room, all three definitions felt real.Seeing how Liam sat in the chair in his living room, composed and unmoved, and how a man in a suit held him against the wall, it was clear which powers were present.There were two of the three types of power controlling him right now.The one that listens to higher authority… and the higher authority himself.The realization didn’t come as a thought. It came as fear—cold and suffocating.“I can’t breathe…” he struggled to sound. His veins cropped out through his forehead as his body strained against the grip on his neck.“That’s not the answer to the question I asked,” Liam said firmly, his tone calm in contrast to the chao
Chapter 55 Convince Against Liam
Betty looked at Carter, confusion flashing across her face. What the heck was he saying?It was common knowledge. Grandfather Berry knew Liam so well that he gave her to him and Liam loved her like his heart. That was not something anyone could deny.It was her who chose not to love him back. It was her who was caught cheating on him. And it was her who even demanded a divorce. Those facts were clear, and she had never once tried to deny them.Carter chuckled softly, watching her expression shift. He already knew what was going on in Betty’s heart. The hesitation, the guilt—it was all written on her face. He needed to change her mind immediately before it was too late.“Look, I know we treated him unfairly. That is right. But, do not underestimate what a poor thing like Liam was capable of,” he said, his tone lowering as if revealing something hidden.“Let me show you this.” He slipped his hand into his pocket and brought out his phone without delay.Earlier on, when Mike sent him the
Chapter 54 Carter TO Betty
After Carter sent the money, he walked to the bathroom. The tension in his shoulders followed him in. He washed his face and stared at himself for a moment, water dripping slowly down his chin.His thoughts struck him hard, sharper than before. “Liam, you just wait!” he smirked into the mirror as though he could already see tomorrow unfolding in his favor.He stepped out of the bathroom and headed straight to his closet, his steps more deliberate now. He picked out a fresh and clean shirt and a new pair of pants and wore them without hesitation.He rolled his sleeves to half arm length, a habitual gesture that signaled readiness, hence he stepped out of his villa.****“Ma’am, I prepared a fresh fruit juice, please drink.” Lilian bowed as she carried the tray in her hand, careful not to make a mistake.On the tray was the orange juice. She gently placed it down beside Betty, watching her cautiously.Betty was still lying on the bed, unmoving. It had been over 24 hours since she’d retu
Chapter 53 Alexander Wraithford
Alexander Wraithford sat in his office. As the president of the company, he was the first to arrive and the last to leave every day.Contrary to other types of bosses, he kept working hard to push the company more forward. “10:55pm,” he muttered the instant he turned his eyes to the wall clock in the office, the ticking sound suddenly more noticeable in the quiet room.“I should be going home now,” he said again, though his tone carried reluctance more than decision. Then, he rose up slowly, carried his briefcase and was about to step out of the office when a man walked up to him with hurried steps.“President, someone is trying to hack our security on the backend,” the man, Bossman, bowed as he spoke, his voice carrying urgency.Alexander paused mid-step and turned to him fully.“How?” he asked, his brows narrowing slightly.He had invested a lot of money into the Kingsford Supreme Collective’s security. The system was designed to be nearly impenetrable. So, he didn’t expect that an
