2024-05-26 10:57:37The next day, Aberon indeed brought Asher to attend the executive meeting, making relatives who desired Dixon company assets feel anxious. Rumors about the handsome young man walking beside Aberon being his true son and heir added to the tension.
The staff lined up neatly to welcome their master, bowing their heads respectfully. The meeting that ensued promised to be intense and shocking. Asher's hesitant steps halted at the meeting room door; he glanced briefly at Aberon and took a slow breath to calm his nerves. The door swung open wide, and Aberon invited Asher to enter the room with him. For a moment, the executives' attention shifted to the young man next to Aberon, and then they all bowed in greeting and respect to their leader. Aberon exclaimed, holding Asher's back upright, "Before we begin the meeting, I'd like to introduce my son." The executives exchanged looks, whispers barely audible. Faces displayed surprise and doubt regarding Asher's legitimacy among them. Aberon looked around, then spoke loudly and firmly, "Asher Dixon, my only son and heir, will take over my position and assume full control of this company." He surveyed the room. "Therefore, I look forward to your cooperation." After this sudden introduction, the meeting resumed, discussing stocks, projects, and contributions to the education foundation. During the meeting, Asher observed the new faces in the room. Their gazes hinted at various things; some were supportive, while others opposed Asher taking control of the company. Asher didn't concern himself with them. If anyone opposed him, Asher would remove that person. He was halfway to his goal. The meeting, which lasted over an hour, concluded with the decision that Asher would lead the construction project of the five-star Celestial Haven Hotel, replacing Aberon. Subsequently, the executives began to leave the meeting room one by one. Before leaving the room, Aberon patted Asher's shoulder. "Asher, let me introduce you to your secretary. He'll manage your schedule, accompany you, and provide various company documents." Aberon gestured towards a man in a navy suit with brownish-blond hair. Kailos Oberoi bowed respectfully, introducing himself to Asher. "He will also show you around the company," Aberon added. Asher nodded in understanding. What Asher needed now wasn't a tour but to start working so he could achieve his goals. "Can I start working, Dad?" Asher looked at Aberon for approval. Aberon smiled happily at Asher's enthusiasm. "Of course. You can start working anytime; you're the leader here now." Asher returned the smile, pleased to hear that. He left the meeting room with Kailos, heading to the office Aberon used when working in the company. Arriving at his own office, Asher faced Kailos. "Can you bring me the documents regarding the Celestial Haven Hotel construction project? I want to delve deeper into its progress and concept." "Sure, Sir. I'll fetch those documents; please wait a moment," Kailos replied, bowing, then walked out of the room to retrieve the documents from his desk. Shortly after, Kailos re-entered the room, handing Asher neatly arranged documents with paper clips. Asher walked towards his large chair and focused on reading every word in the documents. Asher looked up at Kailos, then asked, "Is this project involved with other companies?" Kailos nodded, affirming the question. He then explained, "Yes! This major project involves collaboration with Alexander Company and its subsidiaries." Instantly, Asher's lips curved into a thin smile. Interesting; in just a moment, he found an opportunity to retaliate against the betrayer. Asher gave the order, each word pressing, "Cancel the collaboration with Alexander Company!" Kailos was slightly surprised; he looked at Asher with a questioning gaze. "I'm sorry, Sir. What's the reason for suddenly wanting to terminate the collaboration with Alexander Company?" Asher narrowed his eyes sharply, displeased, and his tone turned cold, no longer tolerating any debate. "If you've been instructed by your superior, then do it. There are many other companies with good concepts to build this hotel. Besides, Alexander Company's proposal is not appealing." Kailos nodded in understanding. There were no more comments about why Asher wanted to terminate the contract with Alexander Company. He immediately called the responsible person from Alexander Company to inform them about the project termination. Asher smiled pleased to see Kailos carrying out his order. At least, this was the first shot to teach Darren a lesson. He was very curious about the arrogant man's reaction when he found out that his father's company had failed to maintain a collaboration contract with Dixon Company. "My plans have just begun," Asher murmured.

CHAPTER 150
Waldric winced in pain, his face bruised as Jorge—his loyal secretary—sat beside him, cleaning the wounds gently. Jorge’s fingers were skilled, but every touch still made Waldric flinch. He had been beaten by Kaylery, all because he had been overconfident that he could control that man. It turned out Kaylery was just as crazy as Asher—if not worse.“Arghh! Slowly, Jorge... slowly!” he snapped, brushing away the man’s hand as it touched the swollen cheek.Not only his face, but his entire body was battered. He had been lucky to escape that chaos. If he had been just a moment later, he probably would have been cold on the floor of Kaylery’s factory.“Argh! Damn it!” he yelled, kicking the table in front of him. Jorge froze, not daring to speak—just waiting for orders, as always. Meanwhile, Waldric’s eyes burned with anger.“Since when did Asher know that I was behind this?” he muttered, almost asking himself.He had arranged everything neatly, ensured the logistics went without gaps, an
CHAPTER 149
The room was silent. Too silent for Kaylery, who had just lost half the power he had held. Her hand was clenched on the edge of the glass table, which was now covered in cracks. Her breathing was rapid—not from fear, but from anger he could barely contain. Project documents,, once filled with profit number,s, were scattered uselessly across the floor. Some had even caught fire near the ashtray, their smoke blending with the thickening smell of hatred in the air. “Damn it… DAMN IT!” Kaylery’s scream erupted. A vase shattered against the wall, followed by her family photos crashing to the ground with a splintering sound. He grabbed the monitor screen and slammed it onto the desk, creating more cracks—glass shards embedded in her palm. He ignored the blood starting to flow. He wiped her sweaty, dusty face roughly. Her eyes were red—filled not just with anger, but with a thirst for revenge. Her hands trembled—not from weakness, but from the effort to resist destroying everything in fr
CHAPTER 148
Asher was standing in front of Alicia’s apartment door. He held a bouquet of pink roses and a high-end box of chocolates wrapped with a black ribbon. A calm smile adorned his face, but the corner of his eye shifted sharply to the left. Someone had been following him—quiet steps, but not stealthy enough to escape Asher’s notice. Now, he could hear a thought whispering from behind the bushes: “Damn! They’re still close? If this meeting started with even a small kiss… enough to make headlines. Barnnet could be in trouble!” Asher’s smile changed. It was no longer gentle, but a sly smirk was barely visible. He knew this was a golden moment. One shot, and it could overturn many of the hidden plans—especially Barnnet’s. He was curious to see how Kaylery Barnnet would react later. Click. The door opened. Alicia stood in the doorway. Her wavy black hair fell naturally, and a dark-gray knee-length dress framed her elegantly. Her gaze was calm, as always, until that moment. The next second,
CHAPTER 147
Jett Carter stood calmly in the center of the boardroom, his gray suit neatly fitted, though the dust of travel still lingered in his breath. In his left hand, he held a black folder containing the investigation files from the Baltimore port. In front of the Dixon executives, he opened each page with quiet confidence, backed by the results of his sleepless efforts."Asher," Jett Carter said firmly, "the Baltimore logistics are clean."He handed over the documents complete with port authority stamps, sample test comparisons, and recorded confessions from the local distributor. The evidence that had only circulated as whispers was now clearly written. All of this had started from a small strategy by Asher, who had deliberately inserted legal comparisons into Dixon’s distribution line, as a diversion."They accepted our report," Jett continued. "They realized that Dixon’s products were not part of the smuggling chain. The illegal goods were inserted from outside, not from us."A few exec
CHAPTER 146
Problems were divided equally, like a chessboard that needed to be cleared square by square. Asher dispatched Jett Carter to finalize the logistics issue—the smuggling of drug-laced candies that had infiltrated the port city of Baltimore. The city never slept, and from the docks to hidden alleys, the illegal goods circulated smoothly. Too smoothly.Meanwhile, Asher himself was buried in piles of files and data. His main focus was on the former construction company owned by Alexander. Every project in the Detroit area was monitored one by one. He reviewed all the reports, checked the contract documents, and even re-examined the field workers. No matter how exhausting it was. He forced himself to finish that day, even though time was insufficient. However, Asher never believed in the word “later.”It had been the fourth week since the conversation about his wedding date with Alicia. And since that day, Asher had not seen her even once. The scandal that struck Dixon had forced him to wor
CHAPTER 145
Asher's gaze was piercing, hinting at a fury on the verge of eruption. After finalizing his wedding plans with Alicia, set for two weeks from now, he knew he had to resolve the scandal surrounding her. He needed to clear his fiancée's name in the public eye. Without delay, he contacted Joseph—his cold tone leaving no room for refusal. He demanded the truth behind the photo. Moreover, he instructed Joseph to dig deeper—into Kaylery. Yet, before his anger could subside, another blow struck. A logistics issue shook the company. Not only was Asher taken aback—even Aberon was stunned. The entire executive team gathered with tense faces, discussing Dixon's shipment to a neighboring country. A question hung in the air: how could their product cause such a problem that it involved international police? "Sir, disaster!" A staff member burst in, his face pale. "There's dangerous contraband inside our product. The logistics team ... they've been detained. You need to intervene immediately
