"Julian!" Elena hurriedly stood up,

CHAPTER 48: The Arrival of the Defender of the Lower Class
Morning finally arrived, bringing light clouds to the Riverdale sky. At exactly nine o'clock—just one hour before the deadline to submit the three-million-dollar cash guarantee to the bank expired—Julian sat in his chair with dark bags under his eyes.He wasn't exhausted from thinking of a solution, but rather from staying up all night to celebrate his euphoria.Just one hour left! If the guarantee fails to be submitted at exactly ten o'clock, the company's assets will be officially frozen. Arthur Sterling wins, the bank confiscates the computers, and my cash goes back to zero. Perfect!Julian thought. He stared at the wall clock hopefully, yearning for poverty.Slam!The sound of the lobby door slamming on the ground floor could be heard all the way upstairs. The footsteps of a large, loud, and noisy group echoed in the corridor, instantly stopping the bickering between Chloe and Elena, who were just about to enter round two.<
CHAPTER 47: The Cracking of the Alliance at the Round Table
The night was getting late on the executive floor of Apex Tower, but the lights in the main meeting room were still shining brightly. On top of the mahogany table, the bank's demand document for a three-million-dollar cash guarantee lay resignedly like a death sentence.Chloe Sterling paced back and forth restlessly. The rapid clicking sound of her high heels on the marble floor showed just how chaotic the CFO's mind was. Her spoiled nature was now masked by frustration due to her own father's cunning maneuvers."I've checked all my personal financial portfolios and the remaining cash from my cosmetics company, Julian!" Chloe said, stopping right beside Julian's chair. Her tone was shr
CHAPTER 46: The Alliance of Old Wolves
While the atmosphere at the Tengda Experience Center was filled with drama and misunderstandings, a much more cunning move was being devised in the most exclusive corner of Riverdale City.On the sixtieth floor of Sterling Tower, Arthur Sterling's private cigar lounge was filled with the smoke of premium Cuban tobacco. The oak-paneled soundproof room was specifically designed for making dirty decisions that could shake the stock market overnight.Arthur sat in his large leather chair, staring out the window with a flat expression. The news on the giant plasma television on his wall was still showing Julian Vance's face surrounded by reporters with the headline: "Oligarchy's Oppression
CHAPTER 45: A New Trap from the Financial Tower
Inspector Tarantino's departure from the archive room corridor did not immediately bring peace to the Tengda Experience Center. Outside, thousands of people were still screaming hysterically, demanding the lobby doors be opened immediately. However, Julian knew his war was not over yet. The fate of his ten million dollars was still hanging in the balance.While Chloe was still absorbed in staring at her phone screen with a proud smile, and Elena affectionately leaned her head on Julian's shoulder, Harry suddenly came sprinting from the direction of the executive elevator. His skinny face was drenched in sweat. His hand gripped an official telegram from the bank."B-Boss Julian! Miss Chloe!" Harry panted, his eyes bulging in panic. "Crazy! Arthur Sterling didn't just send tax officers. He just launched a new financial attack!"Chloe immediately let go of Julian's arm. Her affectionate expression turned serious the moment her father's name was mentioned again. "What is that old geezer u
CHAPTER 44: A Fierce War of Public Opinion
In the archive room corridor, Inspector Tarantino stood frozen in front of the door that was tightly locked from the inside. His face looked stiff as he stared at the doorknob that could not be turned at all."This is outrageous!" Tarantino turned around, glaring sharply at Julian Vance. "Mr. Vance, locking oneself in the archive room under the pretext of a 'Tranquil Flow Audit' is a form of sabotage against a state investigation! I can request a forcible arrest warrant for you and the entire board of directors of Tengda Corp on charges of obstructing an investigation!"The lawyers from the Sterling Group behind Tarantino immediately leaned in, whispering something to stir up trouble. They knew that every minute wasted in this corridor would become free ammunition for Tengda Corp to strike back at Arthur Sterling in front of the public.However, before Julian could tell Tarantino to break the door down—because he desperately wanted the evidence of Hendrik's corruption to be exposed im
CHAPTER 43: Stalling Tactics in the Archive Room
Frank's loud shout in the lobby of the Grand Riverdale Mall brought the atmosphere to an instant standstill. However, to the dozens of reporters, it was first-class news material. Camera flashes immediately focused on Frank, who stood panting heavily with a face flushed from alcohol."What audacity!" Inspector Tarantino felt humiliated by Frank's actions. In all his years of leading confiscation operations, this was the first time a corporate staff member had dared to threaten him with a pocket knife and a liquor bottle in public. "Officers! Secure this drunkard! He is resisting officers on duty!"Two burly officers immediately stepped forward to apprehend Frank. However, in Chloe Sterling's eyes, this was part of Julian's psychological tactics. Her misunderstanding resurfaced. She was certain that Frank was a pawn intentionally sacrificed by Julian to provoke the authorities into using violence in front of the media."Journalists, look at this!" Chloe shouted loudly. She pointed at t
