The silence that followed Robert Depp's words lasted only a few seconds before Logan Lohan slammed his palm down on the conference table hard enough to rattle every teacup on its surface.The crack of impact cut through the room like a whip.Logan's face had gone a deep, bloodless gray, the kind of color a man's complexion turns when anger overtakes reason. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" he said, voice rising. "You already secured one parcel, and yet here you are, sitting at this table, telling us you intend to compete for the rest. A man who reaches for too much has a way of choking on it."Others around the table were quick to pile on."You got what you came for. Why push it?""Mr. Gold has pull in Liverton, sure, but he doesn't own this city. Keep this up and you won't just burn yourself. You'll drag him down with you.""Think carefully before you put Northgate Group in a position it can't walk back from."The chorus of warnings came

By the time Lily Lohan made it home, her eyes were red and swollen. She had held herself together the entire way back, jaw tight, breath carefully controlled, but the moment she saw the familiar front door, something inside her gave. The effort of suppressing it all afternoon had taken more out of her than she realized."Sweetheart, what happened?"Brit Lohan had just stepped out of the kitchen, still drying her hands on a dish towel, when she caught sight of her daughter standing in the doorway with her head down. She didn't finish drying her hands. She crossed the room in quick, worried strides and reached for her daughter before Lily had a chance to say a word.The sound of quiet sobbing carried through the apartment, and Austin Lohan wheled himself in from the balcony. He took one look at his daughter and his brow furrowed deeply."Lily, what's going on? Did someone do something to you?"That was all it took. The concern in their voices broke through the

Lily Lohan had truly had enough. For a long time, she'd tried to put up with Robert Depp. Before, she had thought he was merely making things difficult for her, perhaps because of some disagreement or dissatisfaction with the way she handled things. But now, in her eyes, there was no longer any doubt. Robert was deliberately targeting her, and he wasn't even trying to hide it anymore.The thought of continuing to work under him filled her with exhaustion. If she stayed at Northgate Group, she couldn't shake the feeling that sooner or later, Robert would push her to the point of a complete breakdown. She had endured enough pressure already, and she no longer saw any reason to keep forcing herself to stay in a place where she felt constantly harassed and undermined.If leaving was the only way to put an end to all of this, then so be it.She would resign.She would walk away from Northgate Group and never have to endure Robert Depp's torment again.A bitter sm

"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.
