“You don’t have to keep apologizing,” Nolan replied calmly from the other end of the line. “I don’t think you did anything wrong. And if I’m being honest with you, I think you did the right thing.”

There was silence on Cherry’s dad’s end.

“What… I… I don’t understand. You’re not angry at what I just said?” he asked, clearly confused. His voice was filled with disbelief.

He was expecting anger, coldness and was even expecting threats from Nolan but he sounded too calm.

    “Yes, Ronald, the team leader is right. I’m not in support of this, and I’m definitely not doing it,” one of the men who hadn’t been affected yet spoke up firmly.“Ronald, the other party’s capital is more than what we imagined. Even if we inject another twenty or thirty companies’ assets, we can’t win at all. I’m saying this with confidence because I know what I’m seeing. If I would advise you, the best thing you can do for yourself and your men right now is to leave immediately. Call it quits.” the leader said again. But Ronald had gone too far to just pull out and right now, he wasn’t even thinking clearly. He was like a gambler who had already lost too much but still believed the next round would bring everything back. He only wanted to win and there was no way he was going to listen to anyone.“Shut the hell up!” Ronald yelled angrily at the leader of the hacking team. “Who are you to tell me what to do!? Did I employ you so you can give me unsolicited advice!?”“I pay you so yo

    “I wouldn’t lie to you, Ronald. You yourself know us and the kind of work we do. We are not liars. We have actually done everything we could, and we’re still confused at the result. It’s not supposed to be like this,” the hacking team leader replied seriously.“The only thing that makes sense right now is that the funds the other side is injecting into the stock market is a crazy amount of money. It cannot be compared to what we are injecting. In fact… it is nothing compared to it.”The leader of the hacking team had never experienced something like this before.As shocked as he was…He was also confused.Even though he had been told the kind of powerful person he would be facing today, he didn’t expect this. He didn’t expect that the capital being put into the market on Cherry’s dad’s side would be this massive. He didn’t expect that the person behind everything would be so powerful, far more powerful than Ronald himself, so powerful that it was beyond his imagination. He didn’t even

    The next morning, around 7 a.m., Cherry’s dad was already in his office. His laptop was placed right in front of him as he carefully observed the stock market but it wasn’t going well for him. The share price of his company was still going down.Cherry’s dad was so confused. It was almost like he wanted to enter inside the laptop screen and physically stop the numbers from falling.“Why is this falling again?” he mumbled to himself as he rubbed his temples, clearly frustrated.The red numbers kept appearing and the graph kept dipping. His heart was beating faster with every second that passed.Soon, his executive members walked into his office one after the other. They all sat down quietly. Their emotions were clearly written on their faces, none of them could hide how they were feeling.“I’m afraid there is nothing we can do, CEO. This time, the stocks have gone down so fast that this is the first time I’m seeing such a thing happen to a company,” one executive member said seriousl

    MNolan was starting to get uncomfortable with Cherry’s dad’s behavior. Honestly, if he was going to consider the way Cherry had been behaving toward him all this while, he wouldn’t have even given her dad the chance to sit with him like this or explain anything.But because of how he had made his parents happy… and because of how he was able to give them a villa and change their lives, he still gave him a chance.He owed Cherry’s dad for that opportunity, so he had to let this happen.Cherry’s dad then told Nolan everything that happened after he ended the call with him. He explained how Ronald’s company was suddenly revived. How it skyrocketed within minutes. And how, almost immediately after that, his own company’s stocks started crashing badly.He also told him that he believed Ronald was behind everything.“So it’s this same Ronald again…” Nolan muttered under his breath, crossing his arms.He rubbed his temples slowly as he tried to gather his thoughts.This time around, the att

    Cherry’s dad couldn’t even pretend to be calm. The news had hit him too hard. His mind was completely blank. He didn’t even know what to say or where to start.“Dad… Dad… look at me,” Cherry said suddenly, snapping her fingers in front of his face.When she finally got his attention, she took a deep breath and spoke quickly.“Dad, you need to find a way to reach out to Nolan. In fact, you have to see him. He promised to help our company through any problems that it might have, and he did before. But it’s looking like it is his fault that we are in this mess right now. It is because of him that we are in this mess!” Cherry yelled angrily.Even though Cherry’s father was not in support of what she said about Nolan, he remembered something very clearly. He knew very well that the only person who could actually save him from this mess was Nolan.He slowly turned to his personal assistant.“Get the car ready. I need to go and see Nolan personally. I need to beg him to help me in this situa

His voice was filled with disbelief.He was expecting anger, coldness and was even expecting threats from Nolan but he sounded too calm.“If someone held your daughter and threatened to strip her, what else were you supposed to do?” Nolan continued in a steady voice. “You made the only choice you could make at that moment. There’s nothing to forgive.”Cherry’s dad swallowed hard. He didn’t expect that response and didn’t expect Nolan to be so reasonable.“I thought… I thought you would be upset,” he admitted quietly.“I’m not,” Nolan replied. “The problem is not you. The problem is Ronald.”The way Nolan said Ronald’s name was calm, but there was somethin
