Your company partnering with Riverstone Corp is practically the same as the Vale family partnering with them. Why are you making this so complicated?"
Camille understood nothing about business. To her, the logic was simple, almost childlike: family was family, and what belonged to one belonged to all.The other Vales who had come alo

Rosalie Chambers clenched her small fists tighter, her frustration mounting with every passing second. If he hadn't started that company, one person could never spend all that money in an entire lifetime. Yet somehow, Aaron Holmes, an ordinary man with no background to speak of, wasn't satisfied with any of it."The more I think about it, the angrier I get!" she burst out. Right now, she wanted nothing more than to track down Aaron Holmes and beat him senseless with her own two hands.Mr. Chambers spoke in a low, measured tone. "Enough. Getting angry won't solve anything. What matters now is finding a way to eliminate the trouble Aaron poses. If we wait until he comes knocking on our door, it won't be nearly as easy to handle."His words struck a chord. Rosalie's eyes suddenly lit up as a memory surfaced."Oh, Grandfather! Something major happened last night with the Vale family and Vale Group. The Vale family secretly transferred funds out of Vale Group's accoun

Felix Vale looked like he'd aged ten years overnight. If someone, anyone, was willing to help the Vale family, he would pay any price they asked."Felix, right now we should be grateful those vultures aren't circling to pick our bones clean. Who's going to stick their neck out for the Vale family?" Brandon Vale let out a long sigh, his voice heavy with resignation."So we're supposed to just sit here and wait for the end?" Felix Vale snarled, his frustration boiling over.Serena Vale and Camille Vale stood off to the side, silent. There was nothing left to say."No need to wait for anything. Give it a little time and I'll have this sorted out."Aaron Holmes walked through the door, his tone calm and unhurried."Aaron!"Serena's eyes lit up instantly, as if she'd spotted a lifeline in a stormy sea. Relief flooded her features, softening the tension that had gripped her face moments before.Camille Vale, however, pursed her lips dismissively. "O

"Felix Vale, Brandon Vale, your Vale Holdings accounts are completely empty. Where exactly did you transfer the money? I suggest you come clean now."The director of the Consumer Protection Office fixed them with a hard stare, his voice low and severe."No money?"Felix Vale and Brandon Vale both stared in disbelief, their eyes widening in shock. The statement didn't make sense. It couldn't be real."That's impossible," Felix protested."Vale Holdings still has a hundred and twenty million in the account. How could there be nothing?"The Consumer Protection Office director studied their genuinely shocked expressions, and his own confusion deepened. Something didn't add up here. These men looked truly blindsided."What's really going on here?" he muttered. "Didn't they take the investment from Vale Group? That was over seven hundred million. How can every last cent be gone?"One of the Consumer Protection Office's technical staff kept his eyes

"Fine. But if we can't recover the money this time, the Big Three's investment will be completely lost!" Serena Vale said urgently.Aaron Holmes fell into thought. The Vale family had finally shown a spark of cleverness for once. They were starting to deploy hacker techniques.However, that meant nothing to him. None of it would work against what he could do."Don't worry. I'll head out for a bit. Serena, you should rest. This will be resolved before long." Aaron stood up and walked toward the door.He drove straight to the base of the Special Operations Reserve.Reaper and Ghost were both there. The moment they saw Aaron, they shot to their feet and delivered crisp military salutes."Lord Holmes!""At ease." Aaron waved them down, then turned his gaze to Ghost. "Vale Group's accounts were hit by a hacker. Can you track down the missing funds?"Ghost hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Lord Holmes, I'll have someone investigate immediately.

Serena Vale headed straight to the Vale family estate.The moment she stepped inside, she found Felix Vale and Brandon Vale sitting in the living room, teacups in hand, looking entirely at ease."Serena, you're here. Have a seat." Felix Vale's tone was casual, almost cordial.Neither man showed the slightest hint of alarm. If anything, they seemed to have been expecting her arrival all along.Serena strode toward them, her voice tight with anger. "Uncle Felix, Uncle Brandon, the funds in my company's accounts, did you two take them?"Felix took a leisurely sip of his tea before answering. "That's correct. I moved the money. It should be transferred into Vale Holdings' accounts very soon.""Uncle Felix, why would you do this? Those funds were investments from Riverstone Corp, Skyhonor Group, and the Thornton family. They're earmarked for the project." Serena had anticipated this confrontation, but hearing him admit it so openly still sent a chill through

There was no way he could actually go to prison, could he?Felix Vale had no intention of spending the rest of his life behind bars."Is there really no other way?" he asked, his voice tight with worry.Brandon Vale grew agitated. "Felix, Adrian has a point. As long as we get our hands on Vale Group's funds, the Vale family can definitely launch plenty of new projects. By then, we might even become Haven's number one Great Family.""I know that," Felix replied, his brow furrowed. "I'm just worried that if Serena Vale really doesn't care about family ties, we'll be in serious trouble."Brandon quickly shook his head. "Felix, last time we took a hundred million from her and she didn't say anything. This time we're just taking a bit more. If we get caught, we'll just play the emotional card. We'll say the Vale family was facing a crisis and we had no other choice. Serena's always been soft-hearted. She'll probably let it slide."He leaned forward, his tone
