Sarah looked at the document Damian gave her and gasped in shock upon seeing what it was. “M-My removal as a member of the board? Are you joking with me right now?” Sarah asked, carefully looking at the documents by flipping them one by one. “I know that you lack work experience, but are you going to show it like this? There is a proper way of removing someone from the board, and this isn’t like this!”Before she could even finish reading the whole document, Sarah threw it on the table—Specifically in front of Damian.But despite being desperate to intimidate Damian, the latter only smirked and held the document.“Of course, I know that this isn’t the proper way, but if everyone knew here that you are taking bribes from the Hellion Corporation to gain crucial information in this company, do you think they would be in opposition to your removal?”Everyone gasped in shock upon hearing Damian’s statement. The tension filled the air, and all members looked at Sarah with dismay and contemp

THE reporters were twice as shocked after hearing Damian’s revelation. Damian smirked because he knew that Carter would also feel the same thing.‘He thought that I would not share something like that with the press, especially since it could affect me, Veron, and the market confidence we have in the company, but I guess he underestimated me that much,’ Damian thought, his teeth clenching. ‘I’m more determined to take him down than hide my past down the grave.’“Torture?” asked one of the reporters, his eyes widening—the same as his colleagues. “Could you share more details about it, Sir Damian?”Damian nodded, smiling. He took a deep breath before telling everyone about his past. “Before, I had a huge scar on my back. It was horrible. Even my father was shocked, and he cried after seeing it.” He laughed sadly, remembering the first time he met Veron. “I couldn’t remember anything about it, but recently, I remembered my past. My back was intentionally burned with a gas lighter.”Ever

Bryan’s mouth widened as he couldn’t believe what he just heard. Damian trusts him? He couldn’t even trust himself, which is why he immediately hid away from the spotlight after the company faced troubles upon their parents’ death.And that is not the only evidence of his cowardness.“I was the one who told Sabrina about Correl’s plan before, but instead of solving it, I begged for her to come back, even if it meant forgetting about all of you.” Bryan forced a laugh. “I don’t want her to be involved with the Ferremento family’s issues. But you know what? If only I had helped her back then, maybe she is still alive…”Damian smiled sadly, shaking his head. “There are also many what-ifs in my mind, too, but thinking about the past can’t do anything right now. We could only focus on the present and stop those two from doing their evil deeds.”As he said those words, Bryan remembered something from his statement earlier. “Wait, did you just mention Carter? Correl’s eldest son?”“Yes. He is

TAKING THE phone from his pocket, Carter called one of his people. “I want you to transfer the house I recently bought to Carson’s name. Do it immediately, and inform me when you are done.”“Yes, Sir,” the person on the other line affirmed.“And one more thing. All the investments I gave to one of Ava Medivien’s subsidiaries… Pull it immediately,” Carter commanded, causing Carson to look at him in shock. “I want you to take care of everything as cleanly as possible. Do you understand?”“I understand, Sir.”Carter ended the call afterward. A few seconds later, he got a message that the house transfer had been processed, and his investments had been pulled out.“I already transferred one of my houses to your name. It was located in the suburbs, so you and Ava would have privacy, and at the same time, it was near the City. Hence, the less travel time,” Carter said, mainly explaining why he bought that house in the first place. “You can ask Ava to evacuate this instant.”“Wait… That fast?

MEANWHILE, Damian went to the warehouse to sort some things out. Despite Leo managing to stop the chaos of the employees, the tension was still all over the place.The employees thought that one of them was a possible traitor, which is the reason why the secret room was infiltrated.“If there is something we need to do in a critical situation like this, it is to trust each other,” Damian said, trying to meet everyone’s gaze. “Whoever the traitor was, I’m sure that he or she will be caught soon. It has nothing to do with all of you.”“How can you still say that despite knowing that one of us here could stab you in the back, young master?” asked one of the employees, and the confusion was evident in her tone.“My wife told me that one who cannot trust someone, can’t be trusted.” Damian smiled, remembering how those words were ingrained in his heart. “So, continue doing all your tasks like nothing happened. I and the management will solve this. Meeting adjourned.”Damian left the podium
