CHAPTER 159: Dilemma
Ven sat in the back of his vehicle, its windows tinted so darkly that the city outside seemed a blur of indistinguishable shadows. Bryan sat across from him, tablet in hand, scrolling through detailed profiles of the men they were about to meet. Ven’s expression was unreadable, calm on the surface, but underneath burned a slow, simmering determination.“Murdoch first,” Bryan said, glancing up briefly. “Full seven percent stake. Old money, cautious investor, but not immune to persuasion,bespecially if you can make him feel like he’s backing a winner.”Ven gave a small nod. “And Marquez Holdings?”Bryan hesitated for a moment. “Opportunists. Purely profit-driven. They have no loyalty, just greed. They will sell to the highest bidder, and right now, Davis and Henry have made them very comfortable.”Ven leaned back in his seat, eyes narrowing as he stared at the passing lights. “Then I will make them uncomfortable.”The meeting with Murdoch took place in a private room of an elite gentlem
CHAPTER 158: Getting them over
Davis stood in front of the vast window of his office, the skyline of the city sprawled out beneath him like a map of opportunities waiting to be seized. His mind was on the coveted chairmanship of Brown Empire. It wasn’t just a title to him,it exudes power, legacy, and the final proof that he Davis Brown, won at last the coveted seat and the dream was achieved.He took a slow sip of his whiskey down his throat.On the outside, he wore the mask of unity playing the loyal younger brother standing behind Henry as the current chairman, pretending solidarity with Victory, making public statements of strength and cooperation to reassure shareholders and the public alike. But beneath that calm exterior lay a meticulously calculated plan to claim the throne of Brown Empire for himself.The annual shareholders’ voting meeting was drawing closer with each passing day. That meeting would decide the company’s future leadership,either to retain Henry as chairman, elect someone else, or even intro
CHAPTER 157: Finally Free
The courtroom was colder than she expected, she had never liked here but just had to. Elisa stood still, her palms pressed against each other, fingers trembling slightly despite the composed expression she wore. This was the moment she had anticipated for so long, her freedom. Freedom from a marriage that had been nothing but a cage, and from a man she once believed she might grow to tolerate, only to discover the depths of resentment that had festered between them.Alex sat a few seats away, his dark hair slicked back neatly, a navy-blue suit hugging his frame as though he were attending a board meeting rather than his own divorce hearing. His face was expressionless, but she knew him well enough to catch the tightness around his jaw, the faint clench of his fists resting on his thighs. He was letting her go,but not without internal battle.The judge’s voice rang out, firm and decisive.“By the mutual consent of both parties, and in accordance with the state’s matrimonial laws, this
CHAPTER 156: Game Changer
The night was still young when Ven returned to his house after swallowing a pill of surprise. He is just happy he went as promised.Bryan was already waiting in the main room, leaning casually against the table, though his sharp eyes betrayed his tension. Multiple encrypted screens glowed behind him, displaying real-time stock values, surveillance feeds, and a live monitor of Brown Empire’s financial backbone,it has become the daily meal. Checking the values and analysis of Brown Financial assets and liabilities.Ven walked in, silent as ever, removing his coat with deliberate slowness. Bryan straightened.“You were gone longer than expected,” Bryan remarked, voice cool but edged with curiosity. “Did the meeting yield anything useful, or was it another dead end?”Ven approached the table, pulled out a chair, and sat down. "Not a dead end," he said flatly. “A turning point.”Bryan raised an eyebrow. “Oh?"Ven reached inside his inner coat pocket and produced the envelope Rosav had giv
CHAPTER 155: Rosav
Ven arrived at Warehouse Thirty-Two just as the clock struck midnight. He had come alone as instructed, his black vehicle parked two streets away, just to ensure the place is secured without notifying that someone was around.He moved silently across the warehouse, the soles of his boots barely making a sound. In his pocket, his encrypted device remained active, transmitting a silent signal to Bryan. It's a switch in case anything went wrong. He wasn’t careless, trust was a luxury he had learned to bury deep.The heavy steel door creaked as he pushed it open. Inside, the space was dimly lit by a single overhead lamp swinging slightly in the draft. A figure stood beneath it. An older man, tall, with broad shoulders that age hadn’t entirely diminished. His hair was mostly gray, swept back neatly, and his face bore the lines of a man who had lived too many lives and experienced a lot."You came," the man said, his voice steady, carrying the weight of old convictions.Ven approached slo
CHAPTER 154: A Call
The room was silent save for the soft hum of the ventilation system. Ven sat behind the desk in his private office, one hand resting over the armrest of his chair while the other tapped lightly on the desk. The walls were lined with discreet monitors some showing global market movements, others tracking the fall of certain stocks linked to the Brown Empire. It was late evening, yet he had been at this since dawn, sifting through layers of numbers, consolidating his position quietly and efficiently.Bryan stood opposite him, a digital tablet in hand, his posture straight but his eyes sharp and alert. “The purchase through Fez’s trusts has been completed. We now hold a direct twenty-four percent in the primary holding company.” He swiped across the screen, revealing figures and shareholder names. “Additionally, with the minority shareholders we’ve secured through private agreements, your effective influence stands at thirty-four percent.”Ven’s eyes didn’t waver from the screen on his
