There was a short laugh that could be heard over the phone, and the officers focused their attention on Darius, straining their ears to hear whatever he was discussing. "That won't be easy, it's going to cost you."Darius clenched his jaw, swallowing his pride. "I’ll pay whatever it takes. Just get me out."After another pause, the voice replied, "Consider it done. You’ll be out in less than two hours."With that, Darius hung up the phone and leaned back in his chair, a satisfied smirk playing on his lips.The officer who had been watching him raised an eyebrow.They were so interested in putting him behind bars, in fact, they had just threatened him with a list of sentences, and he was smiling?What the hell is wrong with him? They looked at him with irritation.Or did he have some connections or something?"You really think a phone call’s gonna fix this?" the officer scoffed angrily. "We’ve got enough to keep you here for a long time."He was trying to remind him that there was no h

“I need to see for myself what’s really happening,” Nathan replied firmly. “If I go like this, no one’s going to tell me the truth because they know who I am.""If I go in as Steven Harris, an ordinary cleaner, no one will recognize me, and I’ll be able to uncover what’s really going on.”Vanessa shook her head, placing her hand on the table as if to steady herself.“Nathan, do you realize how dangerous this is? What if someone finds out? What if something happens to you?""You’re not just anyone, you’re Lord Cloud, the most powerful man in the country.""You can’t just decide to pretend to be someone else!”“I know it sounds crazy,” Nathan admitted, “but this is the only way to find out who’s responsible. This company is mine, Vanessa.""I spent years building a name for myself, and I won’t let anyone drag it through the mud.”Vanessa pushed her plate aside, her appetite now completely gone. She stared at Nathan, her worry growing by the second. “Nathan, this isn’t just about the com

Grace’s eyes widened in shock, while Nathan's face twisted into a frown.Grace knew that Jane wanted to humiliate her in front of everyone.Jane had purposely made the mess to make a point, and Grace had just walked right into her trap.“Well, Grace,” Ms. Foster said coldly.“Since you’re so eager to help, why don’t you clean up this mess? After all, that’s your job, isn’t it?”Grace’s hands trembled as she bent down, mop in hand, ready to clean up the deliberately spilled coffee. Her heart raced with humiliation as the coffee continued to spread across the floor.Everyone knew. Ms. Foster had created the mess with every intention of humiliating her in front of the entire staff, and Grace, always the one to keep her head down to avoid trouble, had now walked right into it.But just as Grace was about to touch the mop to the floor, a firm voice cut through the silence.“Stop.”Grace’s eyes widened as she looked up, startled. Nathan, still disguised as Steven Harris, had stepped forwar

The room froze in shock as the door swung open. The sudden interruption froze everyone as they all turned to see who had walked in.Ms. Foster’s hand, which had been poised to strike Nathan across the face, hung in the air, her rage now mingling with confusion as her head snapped towards the door.Standing in the doorway was Bianca, Nathan's trusted assistant, dressed in an impeccably tailored suit, every inch of her exuding authority.The presence of the personal assistant of Lord Cloud immediately commanded the respect and attention of the entire room.Her sharp eyes scanned the room, taking in the tense atmosphere and the scene unfolding before her—Ms. Foster, seething with anger, standing inches from Nathan.Grace was trembling and pleading, and the gathered employees watched the scene with fear and anticipation.Bianca’s gaze narrowed as she locked eyes with Ms. Foster, who was about to strike Lord Cloud.Her command had caused Ms. Foster to stiffen, and she slowly lowered her h

Nathan, still in his cleaner's uniform, watched the entire scene with a smirk kn his face. The way Bianca handled the situation made him him impressed, she had probably learnt from the best, which is him of course. She had destroyed Ms. Foster without even exposing his identity.Bianca turned her head slightly, catching Nathan's eye for like half a second There was a flicker of recognition, but she gave nothing away, she could not tell what Nathan was thinking but he was most likely proud of what she had done. No one else in the room could guess that the humble cleaner standing before them was actually Lord Cloud, the man who commanded empires. But Bianca knew. She had always known. Ms. Foster remained on her knees, her hands trembling as she slowly stood, avoiding the gaze of her colleagues who now stared at her with a mix of pity and disbelief. How could she come back from this?The woman who had once terrorized the office was now reduced to nothing, her authority stripped fr
