2026-08-31 21:09:47The violent pounding on the front door echoed through the apartment like thunder, shattering the fragile morning peace. Brit Lohan and Austin Lohan immediately knew who it was the same ruthless debt collectors who had terrorized them the day before.
"Oh God, why are they back?" Brit whispered, her face draining of color. She paced frantically near the kitchen, wringing her hands in panic. Then realization struck her.
"It has to be him. Robert Depp must have gone looking for them

"Why?" Lily Lohan stared at him, confusion written all over her face. She hadn't expected that answer at all, and after a brief pause, she immediately pressed for an explanation. Her brows drew together as she searched his expression, clearly trying to figure out what had prompted such a sudden decision.Robert Depp met her gaze without looking away. His expression remained calm and unreadable, his tone so flat that it barely carried any emotion."I've thought this through," he said, each word measured and deliberate. "You're not suitable to continue leading this project right now."The bluntness of his answer left little room for argument. Robert didn't raise his voice or offer any further explanation. He simply held her gaze, making it clear that this wasn't a decision he'd made on impulse.He went on without missing a beat. "You know Sunrise Senior Living, right? One of their staff members went back to their hometown for a family visit. They're short a janitor

"What's wrong?" Robert Depp caught the flicker of anxiety on Nicholas Hoult's face. He immediately set aside the documents in front of him and looked up, giving his colleague his full attention. Something about Nicholas's expression suggested that whatever had brought him here was more serious than an ordinary business matter.Nicholas Hoult didn't waste time with pleasantries. He stepped closer and got straight to the point."We're the first company to successfully acquire a land parcel. Now Mooncrest Group has rallied a coalition of cosmetics manufacturers, and they're demanding that we pull out of the remaining acquisitions. They want us to stop competing for the other three parcels."His voice carried a trace of concern. The situation had clearly escalated beyond a simple bidding competition. What had started as individual companies competing for valuable land had now turned into a coordinated effort to pressure Northgate Group into backing down.A faint smir

Liverton sat beneath a gray morning sky, its streets already bustling with the familiar rush of commuters, delivery trucks, and street vendors. People hurried along the sidewalks, absorbed in their own routines, while the cold wind swept between the buildings.Outside the glass facade of Northgate Group's headquarters, however, a pathetic figure dragged itself across the cold pavement. His clothes were disheveled, his body battered and barely able to move, yet he continued crawling toward the entrance as if sheer desperation were the only thing keeping him going."Help me. Please, someone help me."Frankie Muniz clawed at the concrete, his fingers scraping uselessly against the rough pavement as he pulled his ruined body forward inch by agonizing inch. Every movement seemed to cost him the last of his strength, but he refused to stop. His voice cracked with each word, desperation bleeding through every syllable as he desperately tried to attract someone's attention.

"What relationship?" Raymond Lohan and Austin Lohan asked in unison, their voices sharp with curiosity. Neither of them had expected Mr. Gold to have any connection to Robert Depp, let alone one strong enough to make him personally intervene.Garrett Lohan's expression darkened. He shifted uncomfortably in his seat, clearly reluctant to bring up what had happened years ago. After a brief pause, he finally spoke in a low voice."Years ago, Mr. Gold fell seriously ill. He was on death's door, and the doctors he'd seen were powerless to help him. It was Robert Depp's mother who treated him at her clinic and ultimately saved his life."Raymond and Austin exchanged a stunned glance, listening intently as Garrett continued."That debt is the reason he's helping Robert now. Mr. Gold hasn't forgotten who saved his life, and this is simply his way of repaying that debt.""What clinic? I've never heard of this," Raymond said, his brow furrowing deeply."Depp Clin

The land by the artificial lake had finally been secured, and at a price of nine million dollars no less. The deal had once seemed impossible, but Robert had delivered exactly what he promised. There was no longer any doubt that he had pulled it off.The news quickly rippled through Northgate Group, spreading from one department to another. Wherever the deal was mentioned, so was Robert Depp. Only hours earlier, many people had regarded his nine-million-dollar offer as little more than an outrageous joke. No one had seriously believed that he could actually secure such a valuable plot for that price.But Robert had done it.Against all odds, he had turned what everyone else considered an absurd proposal into a successful deal. The same people who had laughed at his offer now found themselves quietly reconsidering him, their earlier doubts replaced by a mixture of surprise and respect.Lily Lohan barely remembered walking back to her office after signing the contr

The buzzing crowd fell silent in an instant after Mr. Gold's words. Mr. Gold had come to the company not for revenge, but to sign a land sale contract with Northgate Group?Frankie Muniz, who had been talking the most, immediately shut his mouth. Shock and bewilderment washed over his face. He had just called Adrian Lohan earlier and learned that Robert Depp had made a move on Mr. Gold's turf. Adrian had even assured him that Robert was as good as dead.So why on earth was Mr. Gold here with so many men to sign a contract?What had happened? What the hell had happened?Mr. Hoult quickly recovered his composure and said at once, "Mr. Gold, Robert Depp has not been fired. He is the CEO of our company. I'll call him right now and have him come explain everything to you."Nicholas did not spare Frankie a glance when he said it, but the correction was deliberate. A few words spoken in panic had nearly severed the company from the contract. He could not undo what
