Chapter 214: Losing More
“Shit,” Trisha muttered, her gaze turning to Denver, hating and pitying him at the same time. “It’s over. The company is in his name now.”Upon hearing those words, Denver clenched his fists in anger, not even bothering to hide it.“No. Fucking now,” he snapped, his eyes burning with fury. “This isn’t the end. There is still a way to take back the company.”But the truth is, Denver was also just trying to convince himself through it.He didn’t have any idea how to take the board members onto his side, especially now that they knew about the debt.“Are you crazy? Wake up!” Trisha exclaimed to Denver, clenching her fists until her knuckles became white. “We’re just wasting our time, and you’re just humiliating yourself!”Denver looked at Trisha, feeling ticked off by her words.Tilting his head, he went to Trisha, the anger evident in his eyes.“This is what you wanted to see, so why are you acting like you’re goddamn concerned about me?”“Concerned?” Trisha repeated as the side of her
Chapter 213: Takeover
Denver clenched his fists until his knuckles became white.“This can’t be yours,” Denver told him, his voice authoritative as he gave Oliver a deadly glare. “Not only did I lose grip on it, but this isn’t for sale.”“Of course. This isn’t,” Oliver answered, finally raising his head, looking Denver in the eye. “Not by you. But your lender did.”Hearing those words, Denver’s brows furrowed, confused. “What the fuck are you talking about?”Oliver didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he placed the folder on the side and stood up.Although Denver was taller, Oliver’s overwhelming presence instilled fear in him.Even Trisha, who was just silent beside Denver, also felt the chills down her spine.“You always act like your company is in the best shape, and despite all the negative rumors about you, you never showed anyone what you were going through,” Oliver stated, his tone low.“But in reality, it was the opposite.”Oliver walked to the side, not letting the table hinder them now as he went
Chapter 212: Now, It's Mine
Denver didn’t answer. For a second, his grip tightened more, making the woman wince, before she let her go.“Follow me,” Denver told Trisha, and both of them went inside the elevator and clicked onto the top floor.It was only the two of them, so they could speak freely on their quick ride.“I wonder if that woman’s okay…” Trisha muttered, her voice laced with curiosity and concern.Hearing those words, Denver raised an eyebrow. “You’re taking her side more than me?”“Hah.” Trisha rolled her eyes and folded her arms. “As much as I wanted to take her side, I wouldn’t. It’s not beneficial.”“But do you know how it could affect you when that woman complains of harassment?” Trisha added to ask.Denver smirked.“As long as I’m still the owner of this company, she won’t be able to do anything,” he replied. “I’ll even make things difficult for her and ruin her life.”Upon hearing those words, Trisha wasn’t able to answer. She hated the fact that Denver still affected her, especially when his
Chapter 211: Compromised
Denver’s jaw clenched.He wasn’t afraid of her, but he was beginning to question whether sticking around was worth the trouble. Yet, despite his growing anger, something held him back. Denver couldn’t afford to walk away from her now, not when he had his own ambitions that needed to be served.“We will find another way to fix this,” he said, his tone low and firm. “But you better fix this, Trisha.”He added, “If Oliver finds out that I’m involved with this, it will all fall apart. That’s not in our agreement.”Trisha’s lips curled into a tight smile, forcing herself to think that everything was still alright.“Good. At least we are still on the same page,” she said, stepping closer to him. “That document will be signed no matter what.”She added, “After that, you can do anything you want to him.”Denver’s smirk widened, nodding, while Trisha’s mind was already working, planning her next move.‘I’m sure that there will be another way for Oliver to unlock the fund,’ she thought, her e
Chapter 210: Hostile
A few seconds later, Oliver spoke again.“I’m leaving,” he said quietly as he walked toward the door and exited the room, leaving Trisha and Richard together.As soon as the door closed, Richard’s professional and calm demeanor immediately faded. He clenched his jaw and his gaze darkened.“This isn’t what you told me would happen, Henverton,” Richard said, his tone low and dangerous. “You told me that he was easy to manipulate. That this would be quick.”Running his fingers through his hair, he added, “But what is this? Not only did he refuse to sign, but you made me look like a fool in front of him.”Although his voice was almost in a whisper, the burning anger was evident in Richard’s expression.Richard has a reputation to maintain.He wanted to achieve the same position as Rebecca, and for him to do that, he needed to engage in some dirty tactics.But Oliver’s characteristics made him realize one thing: that he wasn’t on the same par with Rebecca. Not even close.“You know… Oliver
Chapter 209: The Way To Unlock The Fund
“You’ll need to sign this to unlock the fund, Oliver,” Blackwell explained quietly, his tone professional but oddly distant. “It’s that easy.”Oliver’s hand hovered over the folder, but he didn’t open it just yet. His instincts were screaming at him, and the air in the room felt suffocating.‘Why did Trisha need me to sign this now?’ Oliver asked, his brows furrowing. ‘What was she planning?’“I’ll need a moment,” Oliver said, his voice low. “I also need to personally check my account and see if I can withdraw from it or not.Trisha’s smile faltered just slightly, though she masked it quickly. “Sure. He could do it, right? Mr. Blackwell?”“You can, Mr. Hunt,” answered Richard with a professional smile. “And if you can’t withdraw from it, you can go back here and let’s talk for a little longer.”Oliver nodded, and without hesitation, he went outside the private office.Just to be sure, he went to the reception area and asked, “Is Rebecca Carter in the VIP room?”“No, Sir,” the receptio
Chapter 208: Locked Account
Oliver paused, and a few seconds later, he stood slowly.“Let’s go, then,” he said in a low tone.Trisha blinked, caught off guard. “You’ll come?”“I’ll come,” Oliver replied. “But not for you. I want to see who else is trying to get their hands on my money.”Upon hearing those words, Trisha suddenly froze in her spot. ‘For sure that I didn’t make my words be interpreted that way,’ Trisha said, biting her lower lip.‘But how did he come to that conclusion?’Trisha was about to ask that question, but before he could speak, Oliver beat her to it.“Aren’t you coming with me?” Oliver asked, his brows furrowing as he was ready to leave the cafe at any time.“Y-Yes,” Trisha answered, taking a deep breath. “Wait for me.”*****The bustling streets outside Umbrella Bank seemed distant as Oliver and Trisha walked in silence. Trisha’s high heels clicked against the pavement, creating more tension in the air. Oliver, on the other hand, kept his eyes ahead. His mind was sharp, processing every
Chapter 207: Business Conversation
“That’s the spirit,” Denver said, giving her a short nod of approval. “Then we have a deal, Trisha. I’ll help you get what you want.” Just remember, when the time comes, I’ll expect you to return the favor,” he added, a menacing smirk creeping to his face. “We’ll be working together on this.”Trisha didn’t even hesitate. She held his gaze firmly, a smile tugging on her lips. “Deal.”Both of them extended their hands, shaking hands as if they were doing a business agreement.Then, as Denver got up to leave, he gave her one last look. “Oliver won’t know what hit him. We’ll make sure of that.”It gave Trisha a sense of fulfilment, although they aren’t executing their plan just yet. But she has a good feeling about this.“We will.” Trisha nodded. “And even though we’re not starting yet, thank you for the help, Denver.”Denver only nodded in response before walking away, leaving Trisha sitting in the dimly lit bar, her mind now working with a sense of certainty. She had her plan, and wi
Chapter 206: Mutual Advantage
Denver leaned back, his posture relaxed but his eyes sharp. “I’ve just been hearing a lot about you, Trisha. Especially about what happened last night.” He grinned. “You’ve got quite a... complicated situation going on with Oliver. And he humiliated you? At the parking lot?”Trisha did her best not to look shocked as soon as Denver said those words. But her eyes blew it all away.At the same time, she wasn’t that surprised with how much Denver knew. He had too many eyes in different places. Basically, now that Zayne was gone, the town was practically his.“I know that you’re not interested in gossip, and it’s the same as mine,” Trisha scoffed, rolling her eyes. “So, stop beating around the bush and tell me what you want.”Trisha couldn’t hide the annoyance in her voice. She was in no mood for anyone to waste her time, especially now that she was thinking of a plan to bring Oliver down.Denver’s smirk grew wider, and he leaned forward slightly.“I know you, Trisha. You’re thinking of
