2025-11-25 07:00:50The next morning, Zane waited for Luna in the lobby of Vance Corp. His expression was dark, unable to hide his worry and irritation.
“Luna, we need to talk,” Zane said the moment his sister stepped out of the elevator.
“I have a meeting soon,” Luna replied, feeling slightly bothered by the tension around him.
Zane gently pulled her aside to a quieter corner. “This is more important than your meeting. You need to fire Amalia. Right now.”
Luna took a breath, her irritation rising. “What now, Zane? You’re always suspicious of everyone close to me. First Edwin, now Amalia. What did she do? She just brought back a lot of clients. She even saved us from a huge loss, and now you want me to fire her?”
“She’s manipulative, Luna. Louis told me she’s trying to use you to get close to him while tearing you down at the same time. She praises you and then insults you. She wants you gone.”

“Zane…” Luna’s voice trembled, a mix of embarrassment and anger burning in her chest. Amalia had been right—Zane always suspected everyone for no reason. And now, after everything Amalia had dedicated to Vance Corp, he was accusing her of something this cruel, all based on evidence that could easily be forged with advanced tech.“Are you really doubting me?” Zane’s voice sharpened. “Did you already forget about what happened with Edwin?” His disappointment cut through every word.Luna froze, torn. Who was she supposed to trust? She was stuck between respecting her brother and being grateful to Amalia.But Zane’s accusations—always a storm waiting to ruin things—came back to haunt her.“Luna, look at the evidence carefully,” Zane urged, stepping closer. “This isn’t fabricated—”Luna lifted her hand, signaling him to stop. Her jaw clenched, fighting back tears born from frustration

Luna sat anxiously at the conference table. Zane still hadn’t shown up, even though his presence was badly needed.“Luna, excuse me, but are we still having this meeting?” Roy, the owner of Aether Tech, sounded slightly irritated because the meeting hadn’t started due to Zane’s absence.“Please be patient, Sir. Zane will arrive soon.”Roy was annoyed. If Louis hadn’t told him to invest in Vance Corp and promised him a major project, he would never have agreed to work with such a small company.“You should give the Vice-CEO position to someone else. Zane is completely incompetent. I’m afraid his carelessness will destroy Vance Corp,” Amalia whispered, trying to hide her irritation.From the beginning, she disliked Zane because she felt he was taking advantage of Louis. His behavior didn’t reflect that of a company executive.“But Zane is my brother.”&n

That afternoon, Luna sent a message to Zane.[Zane, you need to know this. Amalia is very competent. She managed to bring Helios Digital back. I think choosing her as Vice-CEO was the right decision. You should see her—she works nonstop.][Be careful, Luna. Don’t trust someone too easily. You don’t want what happened with Edwin to happen again, right?]Luna exhaled softly. She knew Zane cared, but his suspicion toward Amalia felt unfair now. To Luna, Amalia was the most reliable ally she had, someone who gave her the validation and confidence she’d been searching for.Meanwhile, Amalia continued executing her plans. Using her new position, she began enforcing several major changes in Vance Corp’s policies. She reassigned staff who were loyal to Zane into unimportant departments and promoted those who praised her quickly and were easy to control. She did all this using the excuse of “Christopher’s sug

Meanwhile, at Le Fleur Restaurant, Manager Arlo walked back into his office with proud steps.“Mr. Arlo, you were amazing,” Sandra the receptionist whispered, her eyes filled with admiration. “You actually dared to turn away that cheap former CEO of Vance Corp. Mr. Christopher will definitely be proud of you.”“Of course,” Arlo replied smugly, adjusting his tie. “In this world, reputation is everything. We must protect Le Fleur’s status as a restaurant for the elite. She does not deserve to dine here.”His phone suddenly rang. Arlo glanced at the screen. It was a call from Nicolas Gwen, one of Le Fleur’s major investors and a very conservative real estate businessman.Arlo answered immediately. “Good evening, Mr. Nicholas. It is great to hear from you,” he greeted cheerfully.“Arlo, what did you just do?!” Nicolas shouted without hesitation.Arlo stiffened. “What do you mean, Mr. Nicholas? I do not understand.”“Do not pretend to be stupid. I just got a call from someone very importan

Zane nodded obediently. He tapped something on his phone, which was already connected to the large screen displaying the Kings Corp logo. It now showed several screenshots of a conversation. The screenshots contained private messages between Edwin and his boss, Jerome.[Edwin: I already found a new target, Boss. Her name is Luna. She just became the CEO of Vance Corp under Chrizen Corp. I’m going to persuade her to become an investor in Kings Corp.][Jerome: How are you going to convince her?][That woman is too easy to take advantage of. Luna was my friend back in elementary school. I’ll pretend my little sister is sick. I’m sure she’ll immediately offer an investment.][Jerome: Good, Edwin. Once she agrees to become an investor, you will be promoted straight to Vice-CEO.]The conversation ended. Silence fell over the hall. Edwin’s face turned pale, and Jerome didn’t look any better. They had been humiliated in front of all their colleagues.Luna stared at Edwin, and the tears she ha
