Alex's face twisted with anger. "You're making a grave mistake, Elena. Mother will not stand for this."Elena met his gaze with steely determination. "The grave mistake mom would do is making you the company's CEO, and I will make her understand.""Oh, she'll understand, alright. She'll understand that her own daughter is tearing apart the family legacy!" Alex retorted, his voice dripping with scorn.Elena's resolve remained unshaken. "Calm down, Alex. Why are you in pain?"Alex scoffed, shaking his head in disbelief. "Are you doing this because of that lowlife? Do you think he can protect you, Elena?"Mr. Collins's face flushed with anger, his fists clenched as he slammed his hand on the table. "This is preposterous! As far as I'm concerned, this lowlife dirty human here, or whatever his name is, will not be a staff, let alone a board leader in this company!"The other board members nodded in agreement, muttering their support for Mr. Collins's stance."He's a nobody, a thug. We can'

Oliver raised an eyebrow, trying to contain his surprise. "That's funny, you know.""Yeah, it is funny, but really important, Oliver," Elena stated."I think this situation is already chaotic enough without adding a marriage into the mix," he said.Elena's expression remained resolute. "I'm serious, Oliver. I need you. You heard what Mr. Liam just said. I need to get married to get my assets before Mother does something stupid. Please, I really need you," she insisted, her voice steady despite the turmoil in her heart.Oliver chuckled incredulously. "Boss, this is getting more serious, but it can't happen. I can't be married by you. You know your family will even kill you if they hear about it," he countered, trying to reason with her.But Elena's gaze was unwavering. "I know it sounds impulsive, but I trust you, Oliver. You've been by my side through this mess, and I can't think of anyone else I'd rather have as my partner in this. I don't have any boyfriend or fiance, this is just s

As Eden grinned, anticipating Elena to undress, the tension thickened in the room. Just as Elena was about to comply, the door flung open, and there stood Oliver.Eden's smile faded instantly, replaced by a mix of shock and fury. "What... what, what are you ...?" he bellowed, scrambling to cover himself.Oliver's gaze bore into Eden. "It seems I just spoiled your enjoyment."Elena's eyes widened in relief and disbelief as she rushed towards Oliver, "Oliver..., you are safe.""Yeah, and you should have just wasted your pride on this animal," Oliver stated, and then Sophia entered followed by other soldiers. They all bowed for him, "Sir...""Take him away," Oliver prompted. Elena was surprised by the way Oliver was commanding the soldiers.Eden popped his eyes in disbelief. "How dare you do this? Who are you? How dare you order some people to just take me away?""Because I can simply do that," Oliver answered. Eden frowned, confused and furious. What could have made Oliver control soldi

“Could you please just remain calm? Why do you always seem so sensitive?” Mr. Cory pleaded with Sophia, who stood unwavering, her grip firm on the gun pointed at him. Mr. Cory reached into his coat pocket, retrieving a small, weathered piece of paper, which he then handed to Oliver.“This letter was entrusted to me by your father before his passing. He implored me to safeguard it and to do everything in my power to protect you and the clan from any destruction,” Mr. Cory explained.Oliver silently read the content. he could recognized his own father hand writing.Sophia interjected sharply, “But your actions led to the opposite outcome. You took nearly half of the clan with you when you left.”"I understand why you would think that," Mr. Cory replied, his voice measured. "But what I did was necessary to ensure the clan's survival. We were losing back then, and we faced many threats. We couldn't support ourselves financially, so I had to make a difficult choice. I took a group of soldie

As Amelia stormed into the Jay Group company, hyperventilating and breathing heavily, she marched straight to the receptionist's desk, her jaw clenched in anger."Where's Fred?" she demanded, her voice sharp and commanding.Taken aback by Amelia's intensity, the receptionist stammered, "I-I'm sorry, can I help you with something?""I said, where the hell is Fred!" she shouted."Ma'am, you can't just walk in here and act this way. Please, be calm," the receptionist calmly said.Amelia nodded, trying to contain her anger. "Okay, okay, where is he?"The receptionist checked her records, then looked up at her and said, "No, he isn't here."Amelia's frustration boiled over, and she slammed her fist on the desk. "Damn it! This can't be. I need to speak to him immediately!""Ma'am, he is not here at the moment. Who are you, and how are you related to Mr. Fred so I could deliver your message to him?"Amelia's anger burst forth. "I am not here for that! I want him now, or Mr. Jay himself. He c
