CHAPTER 157
"You didn't build this company, Harlyn. You were just keeping my seat warm," Slayde said quietly. He took a single paper from his jacket and placed it neatly on the table. "And now, I'm taking it back."Harlyn stood completely still, her eyes wide with shock. Her breathing became fast and shallow. The man she had treated like a useless servant for years was actually the person behind her family's fortune."That's a lie..." Harlyn whispered. Her voice was no longer angry, just filled with fear. "You're making this up. I built this company myself, with help from Dominic and others. You are nothing! I don't know who is helping you, but this won't last long.""Security," Slayde called out calmly to the four guards by the door. "Take Miss Harlyn and Mr. Dominic out of the building right now. Take away their access cards, pack up their things, and make sure they are banned from all Malx Holdings properties."The lead guard answered immediately. "Right away, Chairman Burgess.""Touch
CHAPTER 156
"How is this possible?!" Harlyn screamed, backing away as if the screen were on fire. "I didn't sign anything! I own thirty percent of those shares, and my father controls another twenty! I haven't signed a single share transfer document! Without my signature, ownership cannot change! Tell him, Mr. Sterry! Tell him it's impossible!"Mr. Sterry frowned, his eyes moving from the screen back to Harlyn.The other board members began whispering to each other, looking confused and doubtful."Is this true, Harlyn?" Mr. Sterry asked sharply. "Did you and your father own those shares directly? If your family signed no transfer papers, these documents cannot be real!""Yes! It's true! We never signed anything!" Harlyn yelled, her chest moving fast as she pointed a shaking finger at Slayde. "He's lying! He made up these documents! Without my signature, he can't touch my family's power!"Slayde did not look bothered at all.He slowly tapped the arm of his chair, a faint smile on his face."You're
CHAPTER 155
Slayde paid no attention to Dominic's panic.He walked straight past the trembling woman and pushed open the heavy doors of the main boardroom, where the top board members of Malx Holdings were already waiting for him.Viktor followed right behind, setting the leather briefcase down on the long marble table. Thud!"Good morning, everyone," Slayde said, his voice low and firm as he sat at the head of the table. "Let's begin."Harlyn stood in the hallway with her mouth open, staring into the room in total shock. The list of shareholders she had been checking meant nothing now.She completely snapped.Panic and rage took over as she ran to the wall phone near the boardroom door, her high heels clicking loudly against the floor. She slammed her hand on the intercom button and shouted frantically into the speaker."Security! Get up to the forty-fifth floor right now!" Harlyn screamed. "We have an intruder in the executive boardroom! Drag him out of this building right now!"Inside the b
CHAPTER 154
"Make sure they don't fail this time," Harlyn spat, her voice laced with venom as she gripped the phone tighter. "I want him brought down. I want him on his knees begging for mercy!""Save your whining for later," the voice snapped back cold. "Just make sure Dominic keeps his mouth shut about who hired those men tonight. If Viktor or Delyas's security tracks those thugs back to my organization, you and Dominic will be the first ones I throw to the wolves."The line went dead.Harlyn stared at her phone, her chest heaving as a cold chill ran down her spine. She threw the phone onto the velvet sofa, her hands shaking with a mix of fury and growing panic. Across the room, Dominic sat in an armchair with a thick ice pack wrapped tightly around his swollen, bandaged wrist, groaning every time he shifted."Did... did he say he's sending more men?" Dominic asked nervously, his face pale. "Harlyn, maybe we should back off for a bit. Slayde isn't the same guy anymore. You saw what happened t
CHAPTER 153
Maya smiled, stepping forward to give him a gentle hug."I'm fine, Slayde. The doctors came by this afternoon, and they said my vitals are completely stable now."She pulled back, looking up at his face with a small frown."What about you? You look tired... and something feels off. Did something happen tonight?"Slayde did not answer her question right away. Instead, he reached out and gently held her chin, inspecting her face under the bright hallway lights.Thick white bandages still covered her cheeks and jaw from the surgery she went through a few weeks ago. Her short dark hair was loose, framing the top half of her face. Her big brown eyes looked directly at him with clear worry.He checked the edges of the medical tape to make sure her skin was healing well. Seeing no swelling, he dropped his hand and let out a quiet breath."I'm fine," Slayde said, brushing off her question about the gala. "It was just a long night."He walked into the living room and sat heavily on the grey
CHAPTER 152
"Stop making excuses for her, Slayde," Raina said firmly, her tone cutting through his quiet mood. "She is the exact same person. She didn't turn into a monster overnight. She just stopped pretending the moment she thought you had nothing left to offer her."Slayde stayed silent, taking in her words."She only loved the version of you that served her," Raina added, her voice softening just a bit, though her eyes stayed intense. "The moment you stopped playing the weak, obedient husband, her real self came out. Don't give her credit by calling her a different person. She was always this bitter and self-centered. You just finally opened your eyes.""That's enough, Raina," Slayde said, his voice dropping into a cold tone that filled the car. He turned toward her, his dark eyes empty of warmth. "You don't know everything about my past. And for all I know, you might be no different from her."The words hung heavy in the quiet sedan.Raina went completely silent. The sharp reply on her t
