CHAPTER 159
Instead of panicking, Slayde simply followed his normal routine.He pulled a fresh paper towel from the dispenser and slowly dried his fingers one by one. Bending over the sink, he turned on the cold water and splashed his face again, letting it wash away his tiredness. He tossed the wet towel into the bin and used a dry cloth to pat his skin dry. Through all of this, the shadow in the doorway stayed still, waiting for the right moment to strike.Slayde turned off the tap. The room fell silent, except for the soft hum of the air vent above.He slowly turned around and leaned back against the marble counter. Putting his hands into his suit pockets, he looked right at the dark corner where the killer was hiding."Are you going to keep following me?" Slayde asked, his voice low and calm, "or are you actually going to try something today?"The silence stretched before a slow laugh echoed off the walls.A tall figure stepped out from behind a dark wooden partition. The man pulled bac
CHAPTER 158
With Pendleton’s signature on the document, the rest of the board members quickly followed suit, their hands trembling as they wrote their names on the lines.Every single man in the room had a dozen burning questions. They wanted to ask about Slayde’s real background, how he managed to find Pendleton’s secret offshore accounts in a single night, and what other deep secrets he was holding over their heads.Yet, as they looked up at Slayde’s stone-cold face, no one dared to speak a word. The silence in the boardroom was total. They had all realized that this was not a man you questioned; he was a storm you simply survived.Slayde stood up, buttoning his jacket smoothly."Viktor will handle the press release," Slayde said softly, taking his leather gloves from the table. "I expect full cooperation from every single department by tomorrow morning."Without waiting for an answer, Slayde turned and walked out of the boardroom, his heavy footsteps fading down the marble hallway.Meanwhil
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
