"Look who finally decided to show up," the familiar voice sneered. "I almost thought you were dead or something. You poor shrimps always find new ways to avoid paying up your debts." The voice belonged to Punch Walker, the notorious school lender who didn’t play about his money, even if it meant death. "Pu—Punch?..." Peter was startled. He knew a day would come when Punch would pester him for the money, but he didn’t expect it tonight. What terrible timing... He had just spent all his earnings on a diamond ring he planned to gift Sophia as a proposal. But Punch didn’t look like he was ready to hear any of that. "I’ll be quick and snappy with you. You got my money?" Punch asked with a cruel frown. Peter was short of words. He didn’t know how to respond because, truthfully, he didn’t have it. His words stumbled over each other as he searched for the perfect lie. "I... I... Uhm..." "I guess that means no." Punch chimed in curtly. "it’s not like that, Punch. I’ll get you
Chapter 055 ~ Something To Talk About
One Hour Later. Peter stepped out of the factory building with Ms. Price—Valentina. She had just given him a tour around the factory, showing him how most of their expensive collections were made, from the bags, to the designers, to the shoes, boots, leather gears, and many others. After the tour was over, they decided to head back to the HQ, because Peter needed to wrap up for the day and head back to school. When they entered, all eyes suddenly fell on them. Every worker turned their heads, pointing secretly toward Valentina and Peter as they walked side by side toward the elevator. “Who’s that with Ms. Price?” someone asked among the curious eyes. “I saw him earlier at the office entrance. He looks like a beggar. Maybe it’s one of her many charity cases. You know how kind and compassionate Ms. Price is.” “I agree,” another voice chimed in. “Just take a good look at him. Poor thing. He looks like he might break in half anytime soon.” They all laughed, hiding their exp
Chapter 054 ~ Surprise, Surprise
Howard flinched. His heart skipped a beat. He couldn’t comprehend why Peter would be requesting the books of account for the last five years. Victor Howard was the Head of Finance of the company. He had been working in that position for the past nine years, ever since the business became extremely profitable. Howard had done things no one in the company could even figure out—not even the Chief Accounting Officer, who had several years of experience. So when Peter requested the books and financial statements of the company, his heart sank for a minute before he composed himself again, his voice smoothing over. “Why… would you request the company’s financial statements and other books of account?” Howard asked, a dangerous glint appearing in his eyes. “Why wouldn’t I?” Peter fired back, his tone indifferent. “I am the new C.O.O, and last I checked, as one of the shareholders of this company, I have the right to request the company’s records. Isn’t that right, Mr. Howard?” he as
Chapter 053 ~ Power Shift
Immediately Peter entered the boardroom as Ms. Price trailed behind him. The moment he stepped in, his eyes landed on the company’s shareholders seated proudly on their soft, comfy leather executive chairs. All their eyes landed on the twenty-one-year-old standing right before them. Most of them couldn’t believe their eyes. Was this the new Operating Officer who was supposed to be introduced to them today? The looks on their faces were ones of pure disbelief. Peter, however, walked in, making his way toward an empty seat obviously left for him. He studied all their expressions and body language. Some even began to murmur among themselves. His eyes fell particularly on one elderly man who looked to be in his late fifties. The disgusted frown on his face made it clear he was going to be a pain in the ass. The board members were seven in number. Peter counted them inwardly before settling down. Thirty percent of them looked elderly, some with grey hairs, while the other seventy perc

“What the hell is going on here?!” the new voice rang out. Heels clicking against the tarred ground as every head spun toward the source of the voice. The approaching figure was Ms. Valentina Price, one of the shareholders of Gramont and a trusted ally of the Grahams. Valentina had been friends and classmates with Madam Margaret even before she got married. She had been around the firm for a really long time and was among one of the most respected figures in the company. Peter observed carefully as the woman catwalked majestically. She was so beautiful and looked young as hell, which made it quite difficult to estimate her age. Her hair was packed neatly in a knotted ponytail, her scent glorious. She emerged with a vicious frown on her face, eyes piercing through the silly security men. “Ms. Price, we caught this intruder wandering around the premises without invitation, but don’t worry, ma’am, we’re about to bundle him out of here before he causes more trouble.” one of the s
Chapter 051 ~ Gramont HQ
Peter arrived at the Graham Company. The place was exactly as pictured. Almost everywhere in the building was made of glass. The tarred roads leading to the company were so neat they lacked an atom of dirt. The company name and logo displayed boldly on the rooftop, on a rectangular waterproof LED screen. He climbed down from the cab he had used to arrive at the company, staring at the place where he’d be serving as the Acting Chief Operating Officer at just twenty-one years old. He couldn’t believe his dreams were slowly coming to pass. Just last year, he had gotten admitted into Primeton University after series of countless rejections to study Business, he had a bold dream of owning a multi-billion-dollar company that would someday dominate most of the countries of the world. And now? He had just discovered that his real family were the founders and major shareholders of Gramont. Gramont was a very popular fashion brand in America. It was among the top five in the world.
