Chloe sat quietly in the room, staring at the closed door with frightened eyes. Slowly, she turned to the bodyguard standing near the wall, his arms folded across his chest. He had not said a word since Ethan left, and his silence made the room feel even smaller.Then she thought of her dad. He would be worried sick about her. She needed to tell him what was happening."Excuse me, please," she whispered. "Can I have my phone? I need to make a call."The bodyguard looked at her strangely and gave a small laugh."What's funny? I just need my phone to contact my dad. It's important," she snapped."Why would you think I will give you your phone?" he asked. "Besides, I was instructed not to let you contact anyone."Chloe sighed. She knew he would never give it to her, no matter what she said. She was not even sure what Ethan planned to do with her.Lost in her thoughts, she did not notice the door swing open. Ethan walked in. His face was cold."Stand up," he ordered.Chloe rose at once, h

Ethan arrived at Titan Group earlier than usual.He placed his briefcase on the desk and immediately turned to the documents Chloe had left for him the previous evening.The altered proposal.He had already examined the figures, the approval records, and the changes made to the delivery schedule. But something still bothered him.The modification had been made before the board meeting, yet nobody had noticed it until the presentation.Someone had prepared everything in advance.A cold anger settled in his chest, quiet but heavy.Ethan opened his laptop and accessed the internal records.His fingers moved quickly across the keyboard as he searched through the authorization history. Several names appeared, but one department kept showing up in the records.Chloe's department.His expression remained unreadable, but something inside him tightened painfully. He did not want it to be true.He checked the access history again, comparing the timestamps with the time the proposal had been mod

Ethan arrived at Titan Group earlier than usual the next morning.The failed board meeting had left too many questions unanswered. He would not let James turn one incident into proof that he was unfit to inherit the company.He entered his office and found Chloe already waiting with a tablet in her hands."Good morning, sir.""Any progress on the altered proposal?"Chloe stepped forward. "I checked the access records again. The files were changed after you submitted your original version, but the person used an account with authorized access.""Can you identify the account?""Not yet. The system shows several permissions, and I'm narrowing them down."Ethan studied her for a moment. "Keep looking. I want the original files, the changed copies, and every record showing when they were opened.""Yes, sir."She turned to leave, but Ethan stopped her. "Chloe. Did anyone ask you about my proposal before yesterday's meeting?"For a brief moment, her fingers tightened around the tablet."Jame

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
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
