CHAPTER 171
The room went silent.Shane stared at him for a moment, then he laughed. A deep, dangerous guffaw escaped his throat.“You think I’m stupid?” he asked, shaking his head smugly.“If you fire me,” Shane said calmly, his eyes gleaming with mischievous cunning, “I’ll go straight to Hilton and expose everything.”Vale’s expression froze.Shane leaned forward slightly.“I’ll tell him how we’ve stolen more than two billion dollars from his company. In simple terms; if I am screwed, so will you.”Darren clenched his teeth so tightly they almost snapped under the pressure. He couldn’t believe just how much these two bastards had stolen from his family’s company. From his company.All that was swirling through his mind right now was the thought of breaking all their limbs. But he managed to hold himself. At least for now.Vale’s face turned red with fury after hearing Shane’s threat.“You bastard!” he cursed through gritted teeth.The tension in the room became suffocating. For several seconds,

Shane’s eyes shifted toward her. His expression remained dark as he stepped away from Darren.“Give it here.”He snatched the A4 paper from her hand and glanced at it.For a moment, his brows furrowed. Then his eyes narrowed slightly.“What is this?”The secretary rolled her eyes as if the answer should have been obvious.“Approval documents,” she replied casually. “For the twenty million barrels.”The moment those words left her mouth, Darren’s ears sharpened.“Twenty million barrels?” His mind instantly connected it with what he had heard earlier in Vale’s office.Shane leaned against the desk and scanned the document more carefully.“Ah… so Vale has already finalized the plan,” he muttered.The secretary nodded.“Everything is ready,” she said. “But it won’t move forward until you sign.” Her voice did not sound excited, as if she was not pleased that the documents had to pass through the CFO for approval.She drawled, “You know how it works. As CFO, the financial approval must carr
CHAPTER 169
Darren slowly lowered the phone.“So it’s him…” he muttered under his breath.His gaze drifted toward the elevator where Agnes, Juliet, and the middle-aged man had disappeared minutes earlier. His eyes gradually darkened as the realization settled in his mind.Matt Shane.Not only was the man entertaining women in his office during work hours, he was also Vale’s accomplice—the very man helping siphon billions from the Hilton family company.Darren’s grip tightened around the mop handle.“So the money they’re stealing from the company… that’s what he’s spending on these two shameless girls.”His blood boiled instantly.The thought of his grandfather working for decades to build this company into what it was today, only for corrupt men like Vale and Shane to squander the money on wine, luxury cars, and college mistresses, made Darren’s jaw clench painfully.But instead of frowning, what better way to express his anger than by making sure these two paid for what they had done?But for th
CHAPTER 168
Darren’s brows slowly knitted together as the two girls stepped into the lobby.“Agnes and Juliet?” he muttered under his breath.These two girls were among the popular girls on campus. Their reputation preceded them everywhere they went. If someone mentioned flashy clothes, designer handbags, or expensive perfumes on campus, their names would definitely come up.They exchanged designer outfits almost every day like it was a normal routine. Today it would be a Louis Vuitton bag. Tomorrow it would be a Dior clutch. The next day, a Chanel purse would mysteriously appear.Very few female students could compete with them when it came to flaunting material things.Nobody except Darren actually knew where they sourced money to be able to afford all these luxurious items.Which was the reason the two girls hated him so much. Their hatred toward him wasn’t random.Months ago, when Darren was still working as a delivery boy, one of his errands had accidentally led him to a luxury hotel across
CHAPTER 167
Darren lowered his head slightly and forced a grateful expression onto his face.“Thank you very much, sir,” he said with exaggerated excitement. “I promise I won’t disappoint you.”The manager, Mr. Vale, waved his hand dismissively, as if brushing away an annoying fly. “Yes, yes. Just do your job and don’t cause trouble.”Darren nodded repeatedly, like someone who had just been given the opportunity of a lifetime.“Of course, sir. Thank you again.”Inside, however, he felt disgust.This man was sitting in an office built by his grandfather’s sweat and intelligence, drinking wine worth nearly a million dollars before noon, openly confessing to stealing billions, and behaving like a shameless animal with his secretary.At that moment, Vale’s phone rang on the desk.He glanced at the screen and frowned slightly before answering lazily.“Yes?”A nervous voice came from the other side of the line.“Sir, this is Martin from the operations department. I’m calling to remind you that the admi
CHAPTER 166
The receptionist’s lips curled even further when Darren handed the form back to her.She looked at it briefly, then at him, and let out a dry scoff.“Well, janitor,” she said loudly, ensuring a few nearby employees could hear her, “the moment I saw you, I knew you were a janitor.”Darren’s fingers tightened slightly at his sides, but his face remained calm. The receptionist was not being nice.Why do all receptionists have to be like that?She leaned back in her chair. “Go to the waiting area. I’ll inform you when the manager asks for you.”Her tone carried an invisible insult — as if she were doing him a huge favor just by allowing him to stand inside the building.Darren nodded politely. “Thank you.”He walked toward the waiting area and took a seat on one of the plush leather chairs arranged neatly around a glass table.Behind him, the receptionist resumed typing aggressively on her keyboard.After a few moments, she raised her head. When her eyes landed on Darren, her face darkene
