Chapter 221: Number
“We’re fine here. Anastasia could go to school now, but she still needs to be in the hospital for medications and further monitoring,” Seraphine added, her tone reassuring.Oliver didn’t answer on the other line, bringing silence to their conversation.“Your silence is scaring me,” Seraphine admitted, her tone low as she took a deep breath. “Did something happen?”As he remained silent, Oliver opened his mouth, then closed it again, hesitating whether to tell Seraphine everything.“Oliver?” Seraphine called again, thinking that something was wrong with their communication. “Are you still there?”“Someone… called me. It was the person who framed us with our mission in the past,” Oliver answered, his tone low, not sure how to tell her everything.But still, he did.“That person threatened me, and to be honest, it would have been better if it was just me,” he added, heaving a sigh, the nervousness seeping through his chest. “But he knew about you and Anastasia.”Upon hearing those words
Chapter 220: Crack and Fall
The panic was evident in Rebecca’s voice, but she remained composed. “But don’t worry. I will make sure that we’ll be able to retrieve it before he can get anything—”“He’s not after the money,” Oliver interrupted, not letting Rebecca finish her sentence. “He’s after me.”The silence followed as Rebecca didn’t speak on the other line, indicating that he agreed with Oliver’s words.“If he really wanted the money, he would have taken everything from it as soon as he managed to hack the account,” Oliver added, his voice low. “But instead of taking it, he locked it.”“Whoever it was, he wanted to make you suffer and help Trisha unlock her account…” Rebecca muttered, her worry increasing.She added, “Could it be that the enemy was… close?”“Highly likely.”Suddenly, his phone beeped. There was another incoming call on his phone.“I need to end the call for now,” Oliver told him, his voice authoritative. “Thank you for informing me about this, Rebecca.”“No prob,” she answered, her worry g
Chapter 219: Main Target
Oliver nodded. “Alright. I’ll take your word for that.”A few minutes later, their order arrived, causing the tension to ease for both of them for a while.“Enjoy your meal,” the barista told them enthusiastically, to which Rebecca responded with a smile.The barista exited afterward, leaving Rebecca and Oliver alone.Rebecca was busy typing onto her phone, not giving a glance to the coffee and croissant on the table.She was looking at Oliver’s past transactions, checking if she had overlooked a detail.Something that might be the reason to lock the account.“According to my internal access log, there’s no action taken from my end,” she muttered, biting her lower lip. “I’m the only one who could have access to this account, either.”“And maybe someone who had a higher authority than you,” Oliver answered, sliding the plate further onto Rebecca’s side.“You can check it later. You should eat first.”Rebecca snorted playfully. “After you called me here on the spot, you’ll act like you
Chapter 218: A Taste of Their Medicine
“Another account manager like me who could have been connected to your account,” Rebecca muttered, her brows furrowing deeply.Then, she looked at Oliver as a realization struck her.“Wait, your account is connected with Cole Henverton, right?”“You know about that?” Oliver asked, raising an eyebrow.“Of course. I've only handled Cole Henverton’s account before,” she answered, then looked again at her phone, checking for something. “According to the document, your account was connected to Mr. Henverton’s, and that is why Trisha could only withdraw money periodically, not the entire savings.”She added, “When you, a VVIP client, arrived, I needed to let go of another account so I could fully address your needs. I chose to let go of his account.”Oliver nodded, a memory recurring onto his mind.“Right. She keeps on getting my consent for her to unlock the entire fund,” Oliver told her, his tone serious. “Not only that, but my necklace was also needed.”“Do you know why?”“I have a hunc
Chapter 217: All Bark and No Bite
Oliver didn’t answer. Instead, he ended the call.True to her words, Rebecca arrived at the town after fifteen minutes, and she immediately informed Oliver about it.“I’m in town now,” Rebecca said, her heels clicking as she went inside Umbrella Bank, her other hand holding tightly onto the luggage. “Where would you want to meet?”“At a coffee shop near that place,” Oliver answered as he stood up and fixed himself. “I’ll meet you there immediately.”“Got it.”As Oliver hung up the call, Rebecca continued walking toward her office, ignoring the confused expression of the other employees. However, some had a wicked smirk on their faces. They were the ones who felt jealousy and envy toward Rebecca.Those people thought that Rebecca was kicked out of the international meeting for a valid reason.Whatever it was, they didn't care. As long as it resulted in Rebecca being humiliated, then they would be more than delighted to see her back.“How does it feel to be flying in the sky, only to f
Chapter 216: Loyalty Test
“No. I’m not saying anything like that,” Oliver answered. He said those words calmly, not insinuating anything. “But for the employees there, they either knew it or they looked the other way.”He added, “It doesn’t matter which, though.”There was a pause in the conversation. Tension arose in the air.“Competence doesn’t mean trustworthy,” Oliver said as he leaned to the chair, glancing at everyone in the room. “I need a clean slate.”Upon hearing those words, the board members shift uncomfortably.They knew that they were positioned longer as the members of the board, so someone like Oliver shouldn’t intimidate them.But for some reason, Oliver, although he didn’t look like a businessman, sent shivers down their spine.“Replace them. All of them,” he commanded, not giving space for arguments. “Before they bury something else, we can’t afford to find it too late.”Those were Oliver’s last words before standing up and exiting the boardroom, leaving all the board members in shock.***
Chapter 215: Accounting Department
“What?” Trisha exclaimed, her eyes widening in shock as she looked at Oliver. “How could that happen?!”At this point, Trisha wasn’t even thinking of Oliver's motive to buy Denver and Jay’s company.She was thinking about how rich Oliver was to buy two companies at the same time.‘Although the prices of their companies aren’t comparable to the Capital, that was still a huge sum of money,’ Trisha thought. ‘How much money does Oliver have?’In every second she was pondering, Trisha regretted all the decisions she had made in the past.Oliver was her diamond, someone under her beck and call, yet she threw all those opportunities to waste.And in this fight between them, Oliver had already won. The battle was over.“Jay’s company was connected with yours. You even used this as collateral to get a higher loan,” Oliver said, looking Denver in the eye. “So, why can’t I take that as well?”The shivers sent down Trisha’s spine upon hearing those words. For her, Oliver looked like a villain wh
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
