The burden of the day still hung over Rowland as he left the Jones Company building. His thoughts were not much calmed by the cool evening air. He walked carefully to his sleek black taxi, a car as modest as his manner. .

He was going to a large estate on the outskirts of the city, his home. The mansion of the Fence family, which was surrounded by well-kept gardens and stately oak trees, was a reminder of the strength and legacy that his father, Mr. Fence, had accumulated over many years.

The double doors opened as Rowland got closer to the grand entrance, revealing Mr. Fence. His face was already filled with a warm smile.

"Rowland," his father said with a friendly greeting, holding out a hand that Rowland firmly grasped before entering.

"Father," Rowland answered in a dignified but calm voice.

Together, they entered the study, a space filled with bookshelves and decorated with pictures of their families. Mr. Fence took a seat in a leather armchair after pouring them each a drink from

  • Chapter 98: Hidden Truth Exposed

    There was an oppressive tension in the room. The old man who had just turned the entire meeting upside down had everyone sitting motionless, staring at him. He repeated himself in a steady voice that was rough with age."Amaya is my biological daughter. The daughter I lost years ago."There was a new round of whispering among the board members and investors. As others shook their heads in shock, others leaned forward, curious for more information.Mr. Mark narrowed his eyes and spoke suspiciously to the old man."The last time you interrupted a meeting like this, you claimed that Mr. Rowland was your son," he said slowly. "Is this implying that Rowland and Amaya are siblings?"His question hung heavily in the air. There were more gasps. All eyes shifted between Amaya and Rowland, attempting to process the possibility.Rowland's face was bright, but his expression was unclear. Amaya, on the other hand, appeared totally lost. As though she needed to hold onto something to steady herself

  • Chapter 97: The Old Man Interrupt Again

    There was silence in the room as soon as the heavy doors opened. Heads turned, eyes grew wide, and there were whispers in the air. The atmosphere in the hall changed from tension to complete confusion."It is him again," someone in the audience said, their voice full of wonder and disbelief."How does he manage to get past security every time?" Another voice whispered, looking at the guards, who stood motionless, unsure what to do next.Even though the old man at the doorway was a little crooked from age, his presence demanded notice.His eyes were burning with resolve, but his face was wrinkled and his clothes were worn.He seemed to have fought his way here, and he had no plans to back off without making his voice heard.Amaya's lips gradually curled into a smile as she realized what had happened. Her eyes sparkled with confidence, in stark contrast to her earlier hesitation.Already she sensed that trouble was coming for Rowland, and it was coming at just the right moment.She shif

  • Chapter 96: Say Something Amaya

    Amaya's heart was beating so loudly that she was unable to think as she stood motionless. The investors' stares pressed down on her, and she could sense their doubt growing by the second.Her mind raced, desperately looking for a way out of this situation, but nothing came up. The fact that Rowland would never be able to prove his claim had given her such confidence.And yet, here he was, standing firm on undeniable evidence.Clinton clenched his fists while he remained seated next to her. He stared at the screen that displayed Rowland's creation logs and design drafts, his jaw clenched.He wanted to believe his wife, but something inside him said otherwise.Rowland had provided evidence that was too specific and detailed to be fake. Even so, he could not allow Amaya to collapse in this manner—not in front of these investors."This is ridiculous!" Clinton jerked to his feet. His anger was barely contained as he pointed at Rowland. "You think we will assume you are the legitimate owner

  • Chapter 95: The Design Proof

    When Rowland finished speaking, the grand hall fell into a thick silence. His charge had struck like a clap of thunder, upending the foundation of what had appeared to be a successful and seamless presentation.However, instead of immediate acceptance, the reaction was far from what he had expected.The audience started whispering."He is just making this up," someone whispered."He can not take the fact that Amaya got the deal instead of him," another voice scoffed."I have heard he is been having personal problems recently. Perhaps this is just another desperate attempt to stay relevant," muttered a man in a navy blue suit to his colleague.With skeptical looks on their faces, a few heads nodded in agreement. They saw Rowland's claim as nothing more than a bitter outburst from someone who had lost the deal at first in the company.Clinton jumped out of his chair at that precise moment, his face flushed with rage. He raised a trembling finger to Rowland."Enough with this nonsense!"

  • Chapter 94: Another Presentation Day

    The day of the final presentation at Fence Emerald Company arrived with much excitement. The venue was a grand hall that had been meticulously decorated with golden drapes and silver accents to create an elegant and formal atmosphere.The floor was lined with rows of neatly arranged tables, each reserved for a prominent figure in business. As attendees began to arrive, the room was filled with low murmurs and excited chatter.Mr. Mark and a group of prominent investors were among the invited guests from a variety of industries.Clinton, the Fence Emerald Company's vice president, was seated at a prestigious table close to the front with Mr. Fence, the company's chief executive officer, and Khalid, his personal assistant.Mr. and Mrs. Jones soon followed, their triumphant, self-assured steps announcing their arrival.Discreetly enjoying the fact that their plan appeared to be going well, they dressed immaculately and greeted other guests politely."Today is the day," Mrs. Jones muttere

  • Chapter 93: Rowland Got Mia Fired!

    That same day, the atmosphere at the Jones Company was tense. Rowland sat at his desk, looking composed but determined.He had just signed off on a letter that he knew would cause a stir throughout the company—a termination letter for Mia.He put the letter in a folder and a few seconds later Beauty, the secretary, came into the room. She noted his unusual stillness and furrowed brow as he slid the document across the desk toward her."Sir, Is there anything urgent?" Beauty inquired cautiously."Yes," Rowland responded, his tone even yet firm. "This is Mia's termination notice. I would like you to personally deliver it to Mr. and Mrs. Jones. I want them to sign it too."Beauty stood stunned, her eyes widening in disbelief. "Sir... Mia? Are you certain?”Rowland responded with a nod. "It has been authorized. Please ensure that it gets to them as soon as possible."Beauty paused, searching his face for an explanation, but his expression was unreadable. Knowing better than to inquire fur
