Chapter 17
As soon as Logan finalized the contract, he hopped on his old motorcycle, rode through the quiet streets of Elleville and pulled into the Sullivan family’s driveway.The deal had gone smoothly and he was planning to give Charlotte a big surprise!Just as he pulled off his helmet and pushed opened the door, voices from the living room floated over. And he immediately recognized the grating voice of Harry Sullivan—Charlotte’s uncle and Ava’s father.“I’m only saying this for your good, John,” Harry said smugly. “Be smart. Elysian Bloom is a sinking ship, and you’re clutching the wheel like a fool! Sell the company shares to me now, and I’ll make sure you get something out of the wreckage.” “A couple hundred thousand. Maybe even a house in the outskirts.” “But if you wait until that company collapses—and it will—you’ll be begging on the streets!”Logan could even hear the arrogance and entitlement in Harry’s tone.Harry took a leisurely sip of red wine, and smirked, “You’re my brothe

BANG!The call ended with a loud crash.Liam’s breath caught in his throat.Logan? That powerless nobody, that loser, that unwanted son-in-law, was the new CEO of Rhine Group?!The phone slipped from his trembling fingers and clattered to the floor. “Done reporting?” Logan sneered with suppressed rage as his voice echoed in Liam’s ears.Liam staggered backward with his eyes wide with terror as the meaning of Felix’s words settled in.After a long pause, fear finally choked his defiance and he collapsed to his knees.“S—Sir,” Liam stammered with his eyes wide with panic.Logan waved him off, his voice satirical.“Sir? What sir? Aren’t I a loser son-in-law desperately seeking for money? Weren’t you asking for my wife to keep you company? Remember?” Realization dawned.Liam dropped to his knees with a loud thud.“I swear, I didn’t know who I was dealing with. I was blind! Please, Sir—Logan, please! Please forgive me!”He cried out and his already swollen face trembled furiously. Loga

Liam’s rage erupted and his voice cracked with fury.“Now I get it! Claudia Rennard! … so you teamed up with this bastard, huh? Playing your little power games behind my back! How dare you?"“Just wait, you’re going to regret this!” Liam spat, a cruel smile crept onto his face. “I swear, you’ll wish you never stepped foot into this company, let alone became Vice President. The moment I speak to Mr. Graves, you’re done! Finished!”Logan raised an eyebrow, amused by the pathetic display. The empty threats were almost entertaining. He leaned back with his lips curled into a smirk, watching Liam dig his own grave.“And look what a fool you are, Claudia!” Liam continued, as he pointed at Logan. “If you wanted to take me down, why didn’t you find a better actor? Why pick this damn loser? Him? The new CEO? My ass! At least dress him better—he looks more like a beggar!”Claudia couldn’t help but look at Liam as if he was an idiot.Claudia’s silence seemed to have added fume to Liam’s ange
Chapter 14
Meanwhile, after seeing the others up the elevator, Melanie, Claudia’s secretary, got back to the procurement department’s conference room.She frowned at Ava, who was fidgeting nervously.“Why are you still here?”Ava glanced uneasily at the woman in front of her—barely two or three years older than her, but already the secretary to the Vice President of Rhine Group.Definitely not any commoner she could easily afford to offend.So she brushed her blouse and straightened her posture, trying to appear more professional.Then, she forced a polite smile and said, “I’m here to discuss a signed proposal.” “You? To discuss a signed proposal? With Liam?” Melanie gave Ava a once-over, eyes full of disdain at her half unbuttoned blouse.“Aren’t you Liam’s mistress?”As the eldest daughter of the Sullivan family’s third branch, Ava had never felt so humiliated before.Melanie’s words were like a sharp slap on her face, which flushed as red as the butt of a monkey.She stood up, ready to curse
Chapter 13
Upon hearing this, the young secretary couldn’t help but stood froze, unable to process what Liam had done to enrage her superior so thoroughly.But luckily, she recovered soon enough. “Yes, Miss Rennard,” Melanie replied sharply with a crisp nod before quickly excusing herself and hurried off toward the HR department.Meanwhile, in the procurement department’s conference room, Liam Hayes reclined confidently in his seat. He and Ava were alone, surrounded by design boards, prototype catalogs, and samples from Elysian Bloom’s spring collection.Unaware that his downfall was imminent, Liam spoke smugly.“Ava, this partnership is foolproof. You’ll take over Elysian Bloom and Charlotte’s name will be nothing but dust in this city. How are you thanking me for it?”Meanwhile, he couldn’t help but sneak a glance at Ava’s ample cleavage, swallowing hard.Lifting his wine glass, Liam too a sip of the premium Franci red.“You know what, I’ll be promoted to the board soon after this deal. So,
Chapter 12
Logan and Claudia took the executive elevator to the top floor of the Rhine Group headquarters. The elevator opened to reveal the CEO’s office which was an expansive and exquisitely furnished domain. Its velvet-lined walls, rich walnut furniture, handcrafted chandelier, and floor-to-ceiling window overlooked the skyline of Elleville City. Logan stood before the glass, hands clasped behind his back. The weight of his new role didn’t intimidate him—it ignited him.Within moments, Claudia set a tray of Blue Mountain coffee on the meeting table and spread out several documents.She moved with graceful elegance and light steps, yet her actions were crisp and efficient, which made Logan glance her way.Before arriving here, Logan had carefully reviewed the background information on Claudia that Felix had sent him.The woman standing before him wasn’t just beautiful and strikingly well-proportioned, she also possessed a brilliant mind.As a top graduate from Stenford University, she had

“What did you say?!” Ava looked horrified. “Apologize to Mr. Hayes! NOW!”“Logan, I’ll give you one last chance. Tell Charlotte to show up at my house tonight.” Stepping foward, Liam’s piggy face quivered with rage. “As for you—get on your knees and kiss my ass, or I’ll make sure you rot in the pit.”A chill flashed in Logan’s eyes, his lips curled into a cold smile. “You think I’ll kneel to you, a pumpkin-headed joke?”He wasn’t the same man they used to step on. He was the real power behind Rhine Corporation now.“Shut up, you filthy mouth!” Liam’s face darkened.Then he raised his head arrogantly, “You’re just scum—what could you possibly understand?”“I’m Rhine’s COO. I could crush your wife’s company with simply one phone call! And all you can do is coming back to me and kiss my ass.”“If that’s the case,” Logan said lightly, his expression calm and indifferent, “then I suppose I’ll just strip you of everything today.”What the fuck?!At Logan's words, Liam and Ava exchanged
Chapter 10
“What I do is none of your business,” Logan said coldly.He didn’t like this woman.Ava had always treated him like dirt.Just as he walked past her, hoping to avoid another pointless confrontation, Ava stepped forward, blocking his way.“Piss off, won’t you?” she mocked. “You think someone like you can get inside Rhine Group? I know Charlotte’s trying to secure a partnership with them, but ALAS — Mr Hayes already promised that deal to me.”“And when I take it, Charlotte’s days as CEO at Elysian Bloom will be numbered.”"Watch your wife’s empire crumble from the sidelines, you peasant!"Logan stared at her, his eyes cold and motionless. “You know what? You’re a perfect illustration of a rotten brain with wild dreams.”The third branch of the Sullivan family had always looked down on Charlotte and him. There was no warmth between kin—only cold, calculating greediness.“Fuck off!” Feeling unease under Logan’s cold gaze, Ava took a big step back and snapped。“You damn bum. Useless tra

Pain coursed through Liam’s body as he slowly regained consciousness. His head throbbed, and his jaw ached from Logan’s final blow.The memory of what happened still terrified him.But at least, the nightmare was over—he had finally seen that masked devil off.Groggily sitting up, he noticed his phone buzzing nonstop—flooded with notifications.BANK ACCOUNT FROZEN DUE TO CREDIT ISSUES.ASSET SEIZED: SUNCREST ESTATE.ASSET SEIZED: HAYES YACHTS.ASSET SEIZED: LUX MOTORS.“No… no… this can’t be happening!” he bellowed, almost passing out on the spot.All his accounts frozen?Not a cent left?Even his villas and luxury vehicles gone?Ah! It must be that masked devil! He did it all!Liam attempted to stand but collapsed hard against the wall.The sudden pain was unbearable!He wanted revenge but the pain reminded him how mysterious and powerful the masked man was.He didn’t dare.Looking in the mirror, Liam’s swollen face was a horrifying mess.How would he be able to show up like this at
