Ricardo was frozen in his seat when Oliver placed the documents on the table, and the explanation followed. He couldn't seem to understand what Oliver was trying to pull off.Bill had contacted him just yesterday, saying The Oliver Lionheart wanted an audience with him. It had caught him off guard because he wasn't worthy of such an opportunity. He was just a lowly entrepreneur to whom life seemed to dish out all sorts of trouble."Y-you want me to take over Grey's Pharmaceuticals?" Ricardo asked in disbelief as he stared down at the documents. "Me? I don't understand."Oliver leaned back, fully aware of how much of a shock it'd be for the poor businessman. He clasped his hands together and explained. "In 2013, while you worked under Mason Oils, you developed project Agatha, didn't you? The now famous oil distribution method."Ricardo nodded slowly while Oliver continued. "The idea was stolen and taken over by the CEO, after which you were fired and sought a Job in another company. Y

His driver parked at the entrance of the bar as Viktor alighted with his bodyguards. The anonymous person had led him there to meet.Viktor still didn't know who it was, but he was eager to meet them, especially after the conversation they had. This person seemed to know much about him. While aware that this could either be an opportunity or a trap, Viktor gestured to his bodyguards. "Wait here, I'll be right back."They nodded in unison as he walked in. Upon entering the VIP section, Viktor's gaze swept the room until his eyes landed on the figure that had called him to meet. A shock of disbelief flickered across his face as he stared at the person who stood before him—his sister, Gianna. Time seemed to freeze momentarily as the siblings locked eyes, and Viktor's heart skipped a beat. First, it was Alexander, now Gianna? She was deadly, way deadlier than Alexander, and meeting with her rarely resulted in anything good.Gianna, breaking the silence, rose to her feet with a warm yet

Gianna's sudden decision had Viktor's mouth agape as he stared plainly at her, listening as she narrated her ordeal with Oliver. "...And so he agreed to sell it to me," Gianna finished, her lips pulling into a grin. "Acquiring Lionheart group would be his undoing. I never would have thought he would have agreed to the deal. What do you think?""Oliver?" Viktor echoed, "He agreed to sell his company to you? On what count?" It wasn't only surprising. It was shocking and seemed tricky.There wasn't a way in hell Oliver just randomly agreed to sell his entire company to Gianna.A glint flashed in Gianna's eyes as she explained. "I don't know the reason, but I'm not waiting to find out. If Oliver Lionheart wants to sell his company then I'd be first to benefit from it."Viktor pursed his lips as his brows drew together, her unwise response lingering over his head like a dark cloud. "Don't you think this is too much of a hasty decision, though? I've been in this town for longer than you ha

Pascal turned off the engine when he got to the interception; he was meant to find the person who asked to meet him. It was a quiet road in the middle of nowhere.Though he knew he could take care of himself, the doubt still lingered. Pascal hadn't told anyone that he was meeting them. Barely one minute after his arrival there, a black SUV parked before him.He startled back, watching from a safe distance as some men began to descend the vehicle. They were book-accurate "Men in Black." All clad in black suits and formidable black sunglasses.Reaching for his pocket, Pascal held his gun firmly in case anything happened that he didn't expect. The men approached him, their formation posing no threat."Mr Pascal?" One of them asked. Pascal inhaled deeply, unsure of where this led to."Yes, that's me," He responded, diving into the enigma this situation seemed to appear as. "Who am I meeting?"They glanced at each other before turning back to him. "Our boss. You'd have to come with us."D

Pascal, fidgeting with the edge of his napkin, looked up as Mia approached, a subtle smile playing on his lips despite the turmoil within.He'd been waiting for her at the outdoor restaurant that she picked, though he initiated the meeting. There was a lot on his mind that he needed Mia for. "Hey, Mia," he greeted, standing up to pull out a chair for her. "It's been a while."Mia, dressed in a chic yet professional outfit, returned the smile as she took a seat. "I'm sorry I'm late, Pascal. Work's been crazy lately." She sighed. "You need to see the amount of files on my table!""No worries," Pascal replied, waving off her apology. "I get it. Life can be hectic."As they exchanged pleasantries, tension lingered within him. Pascal couldn't shake the weight of the recent revelations about his family, but he pushed it aside for the moment. He'd bring it up at the right time, and it definitely wasn't now.They exchanged pleasantries, and Mia was eager to catch up. After a brief pause,
