The tension in Gregory’s office was palpable. The walls, once a symbol of his control, now felt like a prison. He sat at the large, polished desk, the weight of his responsibility sinking into his bones.

He had to protect everything, his family’s legacy, his father’s empire, and most of all, his birthright. But Cartwright’s shadow loomed larger with every passing minute. “Do you trust her?” Lucas’s voice broke through the silence.

Gregory didn’t immediately respond. He knew exactly who Lucas was referring to: the woman in the corner, the one who had spoken cryptically about Cartwright’s weaknesses.

She had shown up out of nowhere, claiming to have information that could help him, but Gregory had learned the hard way that in his world, no one was ever truly trustworthy. Not even those who claimed to be allies.

“I trust that she knows something we don’t,” Gregory finally said, his voice low and contemplative. “But trust? That’s a different story.”

Lucas gave him a pointed look. “We don’t

  • Chapter 186: A Shocking Revelation

    The door crashed open with a violent bang, and all eyes turned to the newcomer. Standing in the doorway, breathless and disheveled, was none other than Jason, Gregory’s childhood friend, someone he hadn’t seen in years. The sight of him now, standing there in the middle of this explosive moment, was almost surreal.“What the hell are you doing here?” Gregory asked, his voice a mix of surprise and confusion. He had no idea what Jason was even doing at the company building. And given the situation, his presence couldn’t have come at a worse time.Jason glanced between Gregory, Olivia, and Cartwright, his eyes darting with urgency. “I need to talk to you,”he said quickly, his voice sharp. “This can’t wait.”Gregory opened his mouth to protest, but Jason held up a hand, cutting him off. “It’s about your father,” he added, his voice low, almost whispering, as if afraid someone might overhear.Gregory’s blood ran cold. “What about my father?” he asked, his tone suddenly all business. The m

  • Chapter 185: The Hidden Hand

    Gregory’s heart skipped a beat. The voice that had interrupted the confrontation didn’t belong to anyone he had expected to be in the room. He turned swiftly, his eyes narrowing as they settled on the figure in the doorway.Standing there, arms crossed, was a man he had only seen in fleeting moments before, a man who had always stayed in the shadows, always elusive. But now, there he was, making his presence felt with undeniable authority.It was none other than Robert Cartwright, the very man Gregory had been at war with for months. His icy blue eyes locked with Gregory’s, filled with an unsettling mixture of amusement and cold calculation.Gregory’s mouth went dry. Olivia, too, seemed caught off guard, though she quickly masked it with a slight nod.“Well, well,” Cartwright said, stepping into the room with an easy swagger. “This is turning out to be quite the family reunion, isn’t it?” He cast a glance at Olivia, who only nodded again, seemingly calm in his presence.“You’ve been w

  • Chapter 184: Betrayal in Plain Sight

    The door to the conference room clicked shut behind Gregory, and the tension in the air became suffocating. He felt as if the very walls were closing in on him.Every instinct told him to turn around, walk away, and take a moment to process the shocking revelation. But he couldn’t afford the luxury of hesitation. Not now.Olivia stood by the long, polished conference table, her posture rigid, her arms crossed. Her usual warm, friendly demeanor was gone, replaced by something Gregory couldn’t quite place a coldness, a steely resolve. “You’re here,” she said, her voice low and almost impersonal.There was no hint of the usual warmth she always extended to him. She hadn’t even smiled. “Olivia,” Gregory said,his voice firm but betraying the shock he was still struggling to process. “What the hell is this?" Lucas said. “I know what Lucas said,”Olivia interrupted, cutting him off. Her eyes locked with his, unblinking. “And yes, it’s true. I’ve been working with Cartwright. And I’ve been

  • Chapter 183: The Dangerous Game

    Gregory’s pulse raced as the elevator doors slid shut, the rhythmic hum of the cables lifting him upwards as the weight of the situation pressed down on him.Whoever was inside his organization, feeding Cartwright and his team with inside information, was playing a deadly game. And Gregory was determined to beat them at it.The message on his phone, the one that had just sent a cold chill down his spine-gnawed at him. “They know you’re coming.” The words seemed to echo in his head, growing louder with every passing second. It was as if someone, somewhere, was always one step ahead of him, pulling the strings in the background.Gregory glanced at the message again, trying to decipher any hidden meaning. Who had sent it? The question lingered like a shadow in his mind. It could be anyone, someone in the company, someone close to him.But why would they warn him unless they wanted to ensure his defeat? Was this an attempt to rattle him, to make him second-guess his next move? Or was it s

  • Chapter 182: The Inside Betrayal

    Gregory’s heart skipped a beat. Someone close to him? The weight of Lucas’s words hit him like a ton of bricks. He had trusted everyone, his staff, his colleagues, even his own family.The idea that someone from within his inner circle was working against him felt like a betrayal on a level he wasn’t ready for. “Who is it?” Gregory asked, his voice low and strained.“We don’t know yet,” Lucas replied, his voice tinged with frustration. But we’re narrowing it down. We think it’s someone with access to your father’s personal files."They’ve been making moves behind the scenes-subtle things at first, but now... now they’ve escalated.”Gregory’s mind raced. The thought of someone close to him sabotaging everything he’d worked for filled him with a growing sense of dread.He had always prided himself on being able to read people, to trust his instincts. But if someone had been playing him this whole time, he had missed every sign.“Where’s the leak coming from?” Gregory pressed, trying to

  • Chapter 181: The Hidden Empire

    Gregory’s mind spun with Michael’s revelation. A hidden empire? What was he talking about? The weight of his brother’s words pressed heavily on his chest. Every instinct told him that something much larger was at play here, but the notion of it being orchestrated by a hidden empire, one that operated in the shadows, was almost impossible to believe.Michael’s calm demeanor contrasted sharply with the storm raging in Gregory’s mind. The years of bitterness, of betrayal, were difficult to suppress, but Gregory knew one thing for sure: the stakes were toohigh to let personal grievances cloud his judgment.“You’re telling me there’s a whole empire behind Cartwright?” Gregory asked, his voice taut with disbelief. “And you’re just now telling me this?”Michael took a slow breath, his gaze unwavering. “It’s not just Cartwright. He’s a pawn in a much larger game. I couldn’t tell you before because I didn’t know the full extent of it. But now... now I do.”Gregory’s eyes narrowed, studying Mi
