In accordance with what the bodyguards wanted, Dylan and Maya decided to get out of the car. The two of them walked with moderate steps leaving the motorcade that was parked to arrive around Thiago's house.When Dylan arrived at the place, the first impression that crossed Dylan's mind was that the atmosphere was so quiet and desolate, like the house had not been inhabited by humans for a long time.The guards who had asked Dylan and Maya to come were at the back of the house, right after they managed to break down the door firmly. Dylan stepped around the place, Maya did the same by walking beside Dylan.Dylan's attention was drawn to an open wooden door, which revealed the inside of the small house previously thought to belong to Thiago and his family."What's going on here?" muttered Dylan, wondering.Maya walked over to the entrance, and she was just as surprised as Dylan was. Both of them saw the scattered and falling furniture in the house, broken glass plates with wall decorati

***The next day.Dylan was ready to welcome the representatives of the shareholders in Monarch, from the Rockefeller and Lawrence families. Dylan had deliberately not invited Sean because it was pointless to do so.That day, Dylan planned to discuss the latest news he had heard from Monarch, the news of employees being reinstated. This, of course, went against the agreement that had been made between the shareholders and Robert.Not only that, Dylan would also make the family representatives a lucrative offer. He wanted to buy both of their shares at a high price.Dylan was still setting up in his room, wearing a neat suit with a vest over his shirt. Now, he looks as stunning as ever to those who see him.The door to the room opened, Maya walked in wearing a formal suit again. She looked even more elegant than usual, her face bright as if she had something to be happy about today.Dylan saw clearly from the direction of the mirror in front of him, Maya walking over with a sweet smile

Maya immediately invited Thiago's wife and daughter to talk in the black sedan. Dylan agreed to Maya's request as he thought it would be pretty dangerous to talk outside.Dylan entered by sitting in the front seat, while Maya sat in the back passenger seat along with Thiago's wife and six-year-old daughter.The mother and daughter's expressions were distressed, with their breathing ragged and their heads constantly turned to the right and left. Thiago's wife seemed to be ensuring the place was safe, as did Thiago's daughter, who was forced to accept this."You don't need to worry. There's no one here to—"Dylan's eyes narrowed sharply when he looked to the right, precisely to Thiago's neighbour's house, which Dylan had been suspicious of yesterday. Now, someone was coming out of the house with an axe, two people with axes."I knew it. There was something strange in that house," Dylan explained.Maya grabbed her handy talky and called t

"What? Quit Monarch?" asked Thiago, surprised to hear such a thing."I'm asking you to do that because I've heard everything from your wife. Tell me honestly, do you know who kidnapped you?" asked Dylan.Thiago gasped with a beating heart, his eyes occasionally looking at his wife, who was currently sitting beside him. Thiago's woman nodded slowly and smiled broadly.It was a sign that she had told Dylan about the kidnapping case yesterday. So, Thiago didn't have to wonder how Dylan knew about yesterday's incident."You don't need to be angry at your wife. It's not a disgrace that you need to cover up. They're after you because they suspect you're in cahoots with the people behind the demonstration," Dylan explained."They di

Richard returned to the Sullivan residence, leaving Dylan alone with Maya outside the house. Dylan's eyes were still fixed ahead, precisely at Sullivan's compound gates, which had begun to close after being opened to let the Watson family representatives leave."Do you think what I said is a good idea?" asked Dylan.Maya had the capability to analyze well. The woman knew very well what was good and bad for Dylan. The idea of agreeing to Watson's request was one that Maya thought was a good thing to do."I think it's a good idea. With Sullivan allowing this traineeship, their suspicions against us could fade away," Maya replied."Not only that, with the employees being trained by Sully Corp employees, their skills are expected to increase Monarch's revenue," Maya added."With Monarch's reputation on the rise, it will work in your favor when you take their shares completely," Maya continued.Dylan cleared his throat at that. Taking complete ownership of Monarch was his ultimate objectiv
