Chapter 34
The next morning, Ethan arrived at the company early for the board meeting.Ethan stepped out of the elevator, adjusting his cufflinks. The board meeting was about to begin, and he knew James wouldn't waste this opportunity to turn their father against him.Chloe followed behind him, holding a black folder."Sir, all the documents you requested are inside," she said, handing it to him. "I've checked everything twice."Ethan glanced at her. "Good. Stay alert and let me know if anything unusual happens.""Of course, sir."He took the folder and walked toward the boardroom.Inside, Mr. Titan sat at the head of the table, surrounded by the board members. James was already seated, wearing a confident smile that disappeared briefly when Ethan entered."You're right on time," Mr. Titan said.Ethan took his seat. "I wouldn't want to keep everyone waiting."James chuckled. "Let's hope you've come prepared. This project is too important for mistakes."Ethan looked at him calmly. "Then I hope ev

The next morning, Ethan woke up to a message from Chloe.Chloe: Sir, I traced the number, but nothing suspicious is connected to it. I'll keep investigating.Ethan stared at the message for a moment, then dropped his phone on the bed.Who was this person, and why were they helping him? An ordinary person would not know so much about what was happening inside Titan Group. But if they were connected to the underground world he had built, why hadn't they shown themselves? He thought to himself as he got out of bed and walked to the window.Yesterday's incident was no coincidence. Someone had altered the contract, and the HR manager had taken the blame too easily. Now a stranger was warning him about the board meeting.Ethan had built his business from nothing and kept his identity hidden from the world. He had learned to trust very few people. Perhaps it was time to find out who was standing behind James.He picked up his phone and called Chloe."Good morning, sir," she said "Good morni

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
