Dexter sat in his office, his mind racing as he replayed the entire scene and Richard's shocking revelation over and over again. It hit him like a ton of bricks as he realized the magnitude of his mistake -- he had trusted Ryan all this time.“How could I have been so blind? I thought Ryan was on our side, a loyal ally. But all along, he was the mole, leaking information right under our noses.” His voice filled with regret and frustration, Dexter couldn't help but soliloquize, pouring out his thoughts and emotions.“I trusted him with sensitive information, shared my plans, and now it feels like everything has come crashing down. How did I miss the signs? How did I let this happen?”His voice trailed off, filled with a mix of self-doubt and anger. Dexter's mind was filled with a whirlwind of thoughts, questioning his own judgment and grappling with the consequences of his misplaced trust.“But I won't let this betrayal define me. I will find a way to make Ryan confess to his evil doin

He couldn't shake the feeling of unease that had settled over him since the meeting.As he pondered the events of the day, there was a knock on his office door. "Come in," he called out, and Richard entered, his expression a mix of frustration and disappointment.“Dexter, I need to talk to you," Richard began, his tone tense. "I just don't understand why you were so dead set on letting them talk to you in that manner, you seem to have forgotten that you're more powerful than them but it's just you not wanting to brag but remain humble.”Dexter looked up, meeting Richard’s gaze with a cool composure. "I assure you, Jack, my intentions are to lead this company to success. I've worked hard for this position, and I won't let it go without a fight."Richard's eyes narrowed as he leaned against the doorframe. "But why? You've let a lot of people cross you, but you still choose to be humble? You know as wel
Sandy watched in shock as her mother's composed demeanor shattered. Priscilla's eyes widened, and her hands trembled as she clutched the edge of the couch."Ryan owns what? How could this happen?

Why's he in possession of your father's property?” Priscilla's voice rose in panic, her tone laced with disbelief.Sandy reached out to touch her mother's hand, trying to calm her. "Mom, I told you he had a showdown with Dexter yesterday, this was also part of what he fought for Mum. But we need to stay calm and figure this out together.

Alex and Jack sat in Alex's room, the tension choking in the air. Jack's frustration was evident as he slammed his hand on the desk, expressing his anger over not being appointed chairman."I can't believe this! How could they overlook me for the chairman position? I've worked so hard for this company, and they just brush me aside like that!"Alex tried to calm his brother down, speaking in a soothing tone. "I understand you're upset, Jack, but getting angry won't solve anything. We need to figure out our next steps and move forward from here.

Sensing the tense atmosphere, she inquired about the problem."What's going on, gentlemen? Why the long faces?"Jack quickly filled her in on the disappointing outcome of the meeting, his frustration evident in his voice.“It's your god forsaken cousin Dexter, he bribed the executives to vote for him in his favor, tossing me t

"I'm the mystery man, Dexter. I am the one behind everything that has befallen you, behind Ivy's gunshot, the rumors surrounding the Richmond empire, and those cryptic messages you’ve been receiving."Dexter's eyes wi
Ivy sat anxiously by her mother's side at the hospital, relieved that she had regained consciousness.

Why had she heard her dad's voice on her phone?With a mix of concern and confusion, Ivy looked into her mother's eyes, waiting for an explanation. The room fell silent, the air heavy with anticipation, as her mother took a deep breath and began to speak.“I had only found out a week ago, Sandy. I got a strange call from a number and it turned out to be your dad, I was surprised but then he asked me not to reveal this to anyone.
