SEASON 2 : CHAPTER 440
The next week, the boardroom chatter shifted noticeably. Adrian moved like a serpent, his voice soft in private corners, his smile rehearsed.One by one, executives began to avoid Javier’s gaze. Their conversations quieted whenever he entered, their loyalty eroding with whispers.Valeria noticed immediately. “He’s poisoning them one at a time,” she muttered under her breath as they left another tense meeting.Javier’s expression remained calm. “The weak always look for a louder voice to follow,” he murmured. “Adrian gives them noise. I will give them silence—and truth.”But the whispers grew sharper. At lunch, two directors spoke within Valeria’s hearing. “The company bleeds while he waits. Maybe Adrian is right.”Valeria’s fists clenched beneath the tablecloth. “Careful,” she warned, her voice low but cutting. “You underestimate the man who built this empire.”The directors shifted uncomfortably, casting uneasy glances. But when they looked at Javier, he was serene, as though he hadn
SEASON 2 : CHAPTER 439
Two days later, the board gathered in the marble-lined dining hall for a luncheon. Conversations buzzed with restrained hostility, eyes flicking toward Javier with poorly veiled suspicion.An executive with thinning hair leaned toward his neighbor. “A man without pedigree has no place at the helm,” he whispered just loud enough. His lips curled into a smirk, testing the waters.Valeria’s head snapped toward him instantly. “Say that again,” she demanded, her voice sharp enough to silence the table.The man paled, caught off guard by her sudden challenge. “M-Mrs. Solano, I didn’t—”“You did,” Valeria cut him off, her eyes blazing. “You questioned my husband’s place, and by extension, mine.”Murmurs rippled down the long table. Some executives shifted uncomfortably, others leaned forward with interest.Javier, seated beside her, reached for his glass of water with deliberate calm. His expression betrayed nothing, as if the storm belonged only to Valeria.“Do you think loyalty is measured
SEASON 2 : CHAPTER 438
That evening, Valeria paced the length of their bedroom. Her arms were crossed tightly, her face shadowed with unease.“You’re letting him strike first,” she said sharply. Her tone was low, but it carried the tremor of both fear and anger.Javier sat at the edge of the bed, removing his cufflinks with unhurried grace. “The impatient always strike first,” he murmured. His calmness only deepened her frustration.“You should expose him now,” Valeria pressed. Her eyes glimmered with fierce protectiveness, a lioness guarding her mate.“And if I do, the others will only see revenge,” Javier replied softly. His gaze met hers, steady and unyielding.Valeria’s lips tightened. “They doubt you, Javier. Every whisper chips away at their trust.”“Trust is not built on whispers,” Javier said calmly. His voice carried the weight of patience honed over years of shadows.She stopped pacing, her hands clenching at her sides. “You don’t care what they think of you, do you?”“I care only that they see tr
SEASON 2 : CHAPTER 437
That night, Javier sat in the darkened study, the glow of encrypted data flickering across his face. His silence was heavier than any outburst.“Adrian is baiting you,” Valeria said softly from the doorway. Her eyes searched his profile, seeing the storm behind his calm mask.“Bait is useless unless I bite,” Javier murmured, fingers gliding across the keyboard. His tone carried quiet certainty, like a predator waiting in the tall grass.Valeria stepped closer, her arms folded tightly. “But the board—they are swaying, Javier. Adrian’s poison is spreading.”“They want a poor man’s anger,” Javier said quietly. His lips curved in the faintest smile, unreadable in the half-light.“You give them patience instead,” Valeria whispered, both proud and fearful. Her hand brushed his shoulder, grounding him in the shadows.“Patience forces traitors to reveal themselves,” Javier answered calmly. His gaze never left the encrypted files dancing across the screen.By dawn, a dossier lay finished on hi
SEASON 2 : CHAPTER 436
“Numbers don’t lie, Javier,” murmured Adrian, the CFO, his eyes narrowing as he slid the quarterly report across the table. His fingers tapped impatiently, the sound sharp in the tense silence of the boardroom.“These drops aren’t natural,” the strategist whispered. Her expression was tight, lips pressed into a thin line.“It’s as if someone anticipated our moves,” Javier said softly. His gaze swept across the boardroom, lingering on each executive in silence.“Competitors don’t usually get this precise,” Valeria commented from her seat beside him. Her eyes carried both concern and suspicion.“The data leak is internal,” Adrian pressed firmly. His stare flicked toward Javier with an edge that was almost accusatory.“Or someone is planting that idea to divide us,” Javier replied calmly. His voice was even, free from anger despite the weight of the moment.“There are whispers in the lower divisions,” muttered another executive. His nervous glance avoided Javier’s steady eyes.“Whispers
SEASON 2 : CHAPTER 435
“You see before you a man who built nothing,” the Atlas chairman declared, his smile sharp under the lights. His voice boomed with self-assurance as cameras flashed across the hall.“He is a shadow, a ghost without roots,” Rothschild added smugly. His eyes scanned the audience, feeding on their murmurs.“They want to erase you from the board,” Valeria whispered from her seat. Her nails dug lightly into Javier’s sleeve.“Let them talk,” Javier replied calmly. His gaze never wavered from the stage.Atlas executives paraded charts and false projections. Their voices dripped with confidence as they framed Javier’s empire as unstable.“They’ve choreographed th
