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
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
