Chapter 230: One Way
His boss ended the call.Dominic’s grip on the phone tightened, fighting the urge to throw it on the wall.He even told Denver arrogantly that he will be removed from the position, knowing how close his connection was to the boss.It felt like a punch to his gut.But he could still turn things around.Dominic dialed Denver’s number again, and the latter answered in just a few rings.“Sir,” Denver answered in a low tone, edged with nervousness.“The boss decided to give you a second chance,” Dominic said on the other line, clicking his tongue. “He wanted you to work for me at Argus Industries.”The last sentence was a lie. Dominic was sure that his boss didn’t mean it that way.However, this is a way for him to save his pride and to keep Denver under his control.“Argus Industries?” Denver asked, his eyes widening in shock. “In the Capital?”“Yes,” Dominic answered. “I will take care of your requirements. Go here as soon as you can.”“O-Okay. I will fix my things right now, Sir!”The h
Chapter 229: Last Chance
If this is the way Oliver had been taking revenge on him, then he was doing it right.Because even though Denver looked calm now, he was already falling apart, more than he had expected to be.And to be honest, Dominic, who was now in his office at Argus Industries, was feeling the same thing.He was walking back and forth, biting his thumb, as he contemplated whether to call his boss or not.“Once he knew about this, not only would Denver be taken away from his position,” Dominic said as his movement halted. “Me, too.”Dominic had protected his position for the past years, making sure he would follow every command his boss gave, and not do anything that would compromise it.But this one was an exception.Because he wanted to please his boss so much and have more money as a result, what happened was the exact opposite.“Shit,” Dominic said, letting out a sigh of frustration. “He will know it sooner or later, leaving me no choice but to tell him everything now.”Dominic took his phone
Chapter 228: More Terrifying Than Death
Denver didn’t answer immediately.Instead, he ran his fingers through his hair and leaned onto the car, ignoring the pain traveling toward his body.“I don’t know,” Denver answered honestly, letting out a frustrated sigh. “Maybe tell Richard to lie low for a while.”Upon hearing those words, Dominic snorted.“Are you kidding me right now?” he asked, his voice barely containing frustration. “Don’t you know who Richard Blackwell is?”“He’s one of the account managers at Umbrella bank, and the one handling my… ex-lover’s bank account,” Denver answered, voice slightly trailing off.At this point, Denver doesn’t even want to tell everyone that Trisha is still his lover, especially not after what Trisha did to him.“Richard isn’t just an ordinary bank manager, Denver,” Dominic said, his voice becoming dangerously low. “He was one of my boss’s right-hand men, especially when it comes to finances—”“And I messed him up,” Denver interrupted, the mixed exhaustion and frustration evident in his
Chapter 227: Denver's Misery
Meanwhile, Denver had already reached his target destination: the bar where he had found Trisha drinking alone before.This should be the day when he was celebrating another achievement.If only Trisha had properly pulled off their plan to gain Oliver’s signature and unlock Cole’s fund, then he might have taken the money in Oliver’s account as well.And Trisha might have never been involved in this mess in the first place, because instead of her, Oliver would be the scapegoat.But upon losing their companies, everything was over now.“Shit,” Denver muttered, his grip on the steering wheel tightening. He was still in the parking lot, “I should have questioned why he suddenly returned to town.”At first, he thought it was just for vacation or something else.He never thought that Oliver was planning to take revenge against them.This time, he succeeded.Denver took his phone, trying to call Jay again.It was only ringing, but Jay wasn’t picking up the call yet.“Answer it, Jay,” Denve
Chapter 226: A Mother's Advice
“We’re not yet done,” Jay muttered, his voice barely containing rage. “Once you involve me with this mess again, I’ll fucking kill you with my own hands.”Jay gritted his teeth and finally let Denver go.Then, he also left the place.As much as he wanted to follow Trisha, one of his real friends he had, Jay didn’t do it.He knew that no matter how much he explained himself, Trisha wouldn’t take everything lightly.So he would pour his attention onto something else instead, something fixable and more worthy than any friendship.The company.‘If I can just make Oliver believe that I’m asking for forgiveness, then maybe he’ll give me even the management rights,’ he thought, his smirk widening.‘Alright. Let’s just act like we’re moving to his side for now,’ he added as he walked to the other side, where his car was parked.Jay went inside the car and left, and Denver did the same thing.*****Now, it was only Trisha who was still in the company’s vicinity.Trisha hopped in with Denver as
Chapter 225: Long-Time Friend
Denver snapped.“Stop acting like I’m the only one who wants this. The two of us were in this together!”“Yeah? I only wanted the good part. Like everyone does,” Jay mumbled with a frustrated smirk, pushing himself further toward Denver.“But never did I wanted you to use my company for your personal fucking loan and make it a collateral!”Because Denver kept on pushing him onto the edge, Jay snapped as well.His ears were burning red, teeth were gritting.Not only was his company at stake, but his family’s approval of him as well.“This is the only way I could prove my worth to my family, and you know that,” said Jay in a low tone, his grip tightening as he didn’t let go.He added, “Without it, how can I even do that?”“Maybe you didn’t need to prove your worth at all,” Denver answered, his lips curving into a smirk. “Because who are you deceiving? Everyone knows you.”“You’re the useless piece of shit here, and not me,” he added to say, shoving more pain onto Jay’s heart. “And that
Chapter 224: Partnership
Meanwhile, Denver and Trisha were outside Denver’s former company.Denver was just leaning on his car, his hands covering his face, as he sighed in exasperation.“Fuck,” he mumbled, gritting his teeth and stomping his feet. “I can’t believe that Oliver would stoop so low like this.”“And I can’t believe that you will take a loan just like that,” Trisha answered, folding her arms as she looked Denver in the eye.She added, “What were you thinking when you did that, huh? And you really took Jay’s company with you?”Denver looked at her with a frown.“Stop twisting the words like the only thing I did was to bring people down,” Denver said, his voice barely containing anger. “I did it for everyone’s sake.”“Everyone’s sake?” Trisha repeated with a snort. “Did anyone benefit from this? No. Not even you.”Trisha added, “In fact, you only made things worse. The company isn’t yours now, and I’m also trapped in this mess.”Her only dream was to live in the Capital, and it even intensified as s
Chapter 223: There's No Backing Down
The silence filled the conversation as Oliver didn’t answer immediately.“Are you saying that this was… Alien?” Oliver asked.His voice wasn't filled with disbelief, but nervousness. Fighting against someone who isn’t on their par gave him the chills.“No,” James immediately denied. “Not alien, but not human either. Just… someone. But whatever contacted you, it didn’t want to be traced.”“It made sure someone like me couldn’t even get close,” he exhaled sharply. “Not like I would be able to.”A long, tense silence passed between them.Then James leaned back, defeated for the first time.He muttered with a low and intimidating tone, “Whoever it was, they’re playing on a level way above ours.”Oliver didn’t answer on the other end.“I see…” he finally muttered after a few seconds, voice low and exhausted. “Thank you for the information, James. I’ll handle it.”“Yeah…” James hummed, looking at the computer screen.He didn’t have any idea whether the system was already fixed or not. Jame
Chapter 222: System Loop
“Maybe that person thought I wouldn't memorize the number, but I did,” Oliver added, his voice barely containing rage. “I won’t forget it. Neither should you.”James didn’t answer immediately. He gritted his teeth, his brows furrowing as he remembered how he lost his brother because of that mission.“I’m on it,” James answered, his tone determined. “And as soon as I know who this bastard is, I will inform you.”“Good.”Oliver ended the call afterward.Without wasting any time, James immediately went to the computer area.He wasn’t even washing his face or drinking any water yet, but his only focus was on finding the number Oliver asked him to track.Upon noticing the tension, Ray also stood up, leaving Nick and Samuel, who were sleeping soundly, as he silently followed James into the computer room.Even from a distance, he saw what James was typing.“01XX010,” Ray read as he took a glass of water from the side, his brows furrowing. “What was that? A code?”“No. A number,” James replie
