Chapter 32
Ethan drove home and saw his mother in the garden, taking a walk and touching the flowers. She did this whenever she was worried about something."Mum?" Ethan called.Mrs Sophia turned with shock because she was lost in thought. "Ethan, you are back?" she said."Yes, mum. Let's go inside first," Ethan said, helping his mother inside the house."Ethan, go up and freshen up. I'll tell the chef to prepare dinner for you," Mrs Sophia said, stopping at the foot of the stairs."Okay," Ethan said, then walked upstairs to his room.He entered the bathroom and came out shortly after with a towel round his waist and one in his hand, using it to dry his hair, when a notification popped up on his phone.UNKNOWN NUMBERIt was the same number that had messaged him before.They are preparing to destroy your reputation at the board meeting. Be careful with the documents given to you.Ethan's hand stopped on his hair. He read the message again, slowly, then picked up his phone and called the number. T
Chapter 31
Ethan and Elizabeth left the office a few minutes after Mr. Titan returned to his work. Neither of them spoke until they reached the elevator."You're hiding something," Elizabeth said suddenly.Ethan glanced at her. "Am I?""Don't play innocent with me. You knew the HR manager was lying, didn't you?" She asked A faint smile appeared on Ethan's face. "What makes you think that?"Elizabeth folded her arms. "The man walked into your father's office crying, confessed to everything, and accepted his dismissal without putting up a fight. Does that sound normal to you?""No." Ethan replied faintly "Then why did you say nothing?" She asked keeping a curious face Ethan stepped out of the elevator and turned to face her. "Sometimes, the easiest way to catch a liar is to let him believe you've accepted his lies."Elizabeth stared at him. "Do you have evidence?""Yes." Ethan answered "Then why didn't you show your father?" She asked again "Because the HR manager isn't the person I'm interes
Chapter 30
Ethan looked down at his phone. A new message had just come in from an unknown number.*"Be careful around James and Vanessa. They are trying their best to wipe you out of that house."*He read it once. Then again. His face slowly changed.Elizabeth was sitting not far from him, and she noticed the change at once."What is wrong?" she asked.Ethan locked his phone and slipped it into his pocket. He did not want to make anyone aware of what he had just seen."Nothing. I need to make a call."He stepped outside and moved to a quiet corner before calling his assistant, Chloe. She answered on the first ring."Good afternoon, sir.""Regarding today's incident," Ethan said quietly, "find out who changed the document. I want everything. Who did it, who ordered it, and who gained from it."There was a short pause."Understood, sir.""And Chloe?""Yes, sir?""Bring me proof. Not guesses.""I will."The call ended.Ethan stood there for a moment, staring at the ground. He still could not unders
Chapter 29
Author's Note: Quick correction, lovely readers! The previous chapter was actually Chapter 28, I mistakenly titled it as Chapter 29. So this chapter is the real Chapter 29. Sorry for the confusion, and thank you for understanding!.......Meanwhile, in the Titan mansion, Vanessa stood in front of the mirror, touching up her makeup. The room was quiet, except for the soft clink of her jewelry as she adjusted her earrings. She leaned closer to the mirror, checking her lipstick one more time.Then her phone suddenly rang.James's name appeared on the screen.She picked it up quickly."Hello," she said. Her voice sounded calm as she took a deep breath."James, what happened? I hope everything is going as planned," she said.On the other end, James's voice was shaky. "No, Mum. Ethan had two copies. He has evidence to prove himself."Vanessa's hand tightened around the phone. For a second, she said nothing."Mum, I think they're investigating the matter," James continued. "I hope our scheme
Chapter 29
The office stayed quiet after the HR manager left.Mr. Titan was still looking at the two contracts on his desk. One was the document Ethan had submitted. The other was the changed version. He picked them up again and compared them, side by side."Who could have changed this document?" Mr. Titan said out loud."It's someone who doesn't want me to win this competition," Ethan said."Are you suspecting someone?" Elizabeth asked."Not really. But we should start by investigating the HR manager.""That's a good idea," Elizabeth said. "But is the HR manager the only one in charge of the document?""No," Mr. Titan replied. "There are a few others. The HR department, the legal team, and some senior executives.""Then we will start from them, Titan," Elizabeth suggested.Mr. Titan immediately picked up his phone. "I'm going to have the access records checked.""No." Ethan said it quickly.Mr. Titan looked at him, confused."Dad, let me handle this quietly," Ethan said.Mr. Titan hesitated. "E

Chapter 27James stood in the quiet hallway with his arms crossed. In front of him, the HR manager shifted from foot to foot, glancing at the doors on either side as if someone might jump out and catch them."Are you sure about this?" the HR manager whispered, voice shaking.James stepped closer, lowering his voice. "You heard me. Change the document.""But Ethan already wrote it," the man said, swallowing hard."And that's exactly why you need to change it." "The payment schedule can stay. But that five-percent limit on cost increases? Get rid of it. Make it look like Titan Group agreed to cover almost every increase in material costs, no matter how high."The HR manager frowned. "And the penalty for late delivery?""Remove that too.""James, that would make the whole contract look—""Unreasonable," James finished for him, smiling. "Exactly."The HR manager stared at him worriedly, he knew the consequences if he was caught, but greed took over him.James leaned in. "When Dad reads i
