Chapter 22
Without hesitation, every member of the Gatwick family rushed to pull out their phones.Even Scott leaned forward sharply.Fred narrowed his eyes and immediately opened his own device.Within seconds, the room filled with the frantic tapping of screens, scrolling, refreshing, searching.And then—it appeared.The official Aurelios Group announcement. It was a certified corporate statement. Gatwick Investment has been approved for partnership with Aurelios Group with Greg Barnsley representing them. A shockwave of silence followed. Then chaos.“What…?”“It's real?”“No way…”The disbelief spread instantly across the room.People checked again.And again.Some even refreshed their screens repeatedly, as though the truth would change if they looked away long enough. But it didn’t. It was real. Greg had secured it.Fred’s face stiffened the moment he saw it properly.His fingers slowly loosened around his phone.For a brief moment, all his arrogance disappeared.Before today, he had alw

As soon as Ben and Eva left the Aurelios Group headquarters, Greg returned to his private office without a word.He sat down behind his desk and pressed a single button on his internal communication console.“Leah,” he called.A moment later, the secretary stepped in.“Yes, sir,” she replied respectfully.Greg leaned back slightly, his expression unreadable.“What is the third company on the current Aurelios Group partnership list?” he asked.Leah checked her tablet immediately.“The third approved company is Stratex Marine Logistics,” she answered.Greg paused for a brief moment.Then his tone changed—calm, but firm.“Cancel Stratex Marine Logistics,” he said.Leah froze slightly.“Sir?”Greg didn’t raise his voice.“I want it replaced,” he said evenly. “Add The Stephens Group in their place.”Silence followed.Leah’s eyes widened slightly.“The Stephens Group…?” she repeated carefully.She hesitated, clearly trying to piece it together. From what she understood, Ben, who stood as th

Ben paused for a fraction of a second. At Eva’s words, a faint smile crossed his face, carefully controlled so none of what he was actually feeling showed through.“It was great,” he said simply.Eva blinked. “Wow! That's good news."Ben nodded once, slowly, as if confirming something already settled.“Yes,” he continued smoothly. “Everything went well. I’ll tell you more when I’m back…”A ripple of relief passed across Eva’s expression.“Back… where are you going?” she asked, stepping closer.Ben raised a hand slightly, as though to calm her curiosity.“I need to leave for Virgo Holdings immediately,” he added, smoothly shifting the topic. “There’s an urgent matter that requires my attention.”His tone was firm and final.Eva hesitated, but only for a moment.The urgency in his voice convinced her. If he was being called back so quickly, then whatever had happened at Aurelios Group must already be in their favor.She exhaled softly, a satisfied smile forming.“I understand,” she said

Leah nodded once. “It has been confirmed that you are no longer serving as Vice Controller of Virgo Holdings.”For a brief moment, Ben simply stared at her.Then he let out a short, disbelieving laugh.“That’s impossible,” he said confidently. “I am still Vice Controller of Virgo Holdings.”Leah remained calm. “I’m afraid that is incorrect.”Ben shook his head, still smiling as if it were a misunderstanding.“This must be some internal error,” he said dismissively. “You people are confused!”Leah said nothing in response.Instead, she turned her tablet toward him.On the screen was an official termination notice—complete with corporate seals, executive authorization, timestamps, and verified internal signatures from Virgo Holdings.Ben’s expression changed instantly.The smile vanished as his eyes locked onto the document.“No…” he muttered. “That’s not possible.”His voice dropped slightly as he scanned it again and again, searching for anything that would prove it wrong.How on eart

Ben Royston and Eva stepped confidently into the reception hall of Aurelios Group.The atmosphere inside the building was as imposing as ever—gleaming marble floors, soft golden lighting, and quiet efficiency that made every movement feel important. Staff members moved with precision, and the reception desk alone looked more like a command center than a waiting area.Ben adjusted his suit as he walked in, carrying himself with exaggerated confidence.Beside him, Eva smiled proudly.“This is it,” she whispered. “Once this goes through, the Stephen family will finally recognize my worth.”Ben nodded with a confident smirk. “Don’t worry. I’ve already made the necessary contacts.”Across the reception area, Fred Nelson was already seated in a private waiting lounge, quietly waiting for the results, after submitting the required documents. He too had come prepared—on behalf of Gatwick Investment—to secure collaboration with Aurelios Group.Meanwhile, Greg had just entered his private offi
Chapter 17
The instant Eva's eyes landed on Greg near the entrance, her expression darkened immediately.Shock quickly turned into irritation.What was he doing here?Before Ben could even react, Eva suddenly pulled away from him and strode briskly across the lobby toward Greg.Her heels clicked sharply against the polished floor, drawing the attention of a few nearby staff members.Greg stood calmly with one hand in his pocket, entirely unbothered by the tension approaching him.Eva stopped directly in front of him and her eyes swept over him disdainfully before she spoke.“What exactly are you doing here?” she demanded sharply. “How did a loser like you even get into Aurelios Group?”Several people nearby glanced over curiously.Greg looked at her calmly for a moment before replying.“I should be the one asking you and your new boyfriend that question.”His tone remained steady and unmoved.Eva frowned instantly.Before she could respond, Ben slowly walked over beside her, adjusting his suit w
