I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter 332: A Surprising Request.
Lilly was beside her large window, seated on a chair in her apartment. She was looking out at the city below as her apartment was on a hillside. The sun was just setting, making a soft glow to appear over the sky. This has been her usual spot for some time. She had spent the past few days thinking about certain things. She had made a decision and had been thinking if it was the best one for her. But truth is she can not pretend not to see the reality of things as it holds for her. She had to move forward with her life without the stains of her mother's name. And to make that happen, she needed help from the last person she even thought she would turn to again.Justin. Her ex-husband.She did not know what to do as she held her phone in her hand. She was hesitating if she should call Justin or not. His name was still saved there, it has not been deleted or changed to something else since then. She did not know if he would respond to her to warmly or not. Especially given what she int

Justin turned around, studying her face. “You do realize that walking away from your business means losing a significant part of who you’ve been for years, right? It’s not just about your mother.”“I know,” Lilly admitted, her voice soft. “But I can’t live with the weight of it anymore. Every time I look at my company, I see her shadow. I need to start over, rebuild from scratch, away from everything she touched.”Justin crossed his arms, leaning against the wall. “And what makes you think I can help you with that?”“You’re the only one who can,” she said, her voice trembling slightly. “You know how to navigate this world better than anyone. You’ve built your empire without relying on anyone else’s influence. But I... I need you to help me do the same.”For a moment, Justin said nothing, simply watching her, his expression contemplative. Lilly could not tell what he was thinking, if he was angry, confused, or even amused by her request. Finally, he spoke. “You’re asking me to help y
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter 334: A New Beginning.
On a cool day, in the evening, the cool breeze from the outside drifted through the opening of the window of Justin's office as he sat across from Lilly, his ex-wife. The city’s lights sparkled in the distance. Justin had reached out to her some days after their last encounter at her apartment. He had given their conversation a lot of thought and decided what to do to help her as she requested of him. But as they sat across from each other, the huge desk separating them, the conversation between them still felt different. It was weighted with the decisions that would change the course of both their lives, hopefully for good.When Justin had asked Lilly to come around to the Headquarters of Drogonuv Corporation, she had been a bit uneasy and uncertain. She wondered if Justin knew what he was talking about. But as she was led to the floor that led to the CEO’s office, her mind raced. What is happening? She knew Justin had not been an ordinary person based on the things he had been up to
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter 335: Planning
“Do you mind if I take some time to think over the details?” she said softly. “But….I think this is the right path to take. I want to start over and if you are willing to help me, Justin….I am ready.”Justin’s gaze on her softened as he nodded at what she said. “Good. We will start by reviewing your current business holdings. I will buy out your shares and make sure the transition is smooth. Once that is done, we can talk about what we should do next.”Lilly exhaled as the weight on her shoulders seemed to start lifting off. “Thank you, Justin. I….I never thought that one day, we would be sitting here, planning out something like this. After everything that has happened so far between us…..”“Lilly, it is all in the past now.” He interrupted in a gentle manner. “ I know we have been through more than we ever thought or expected. But if there is one thing I have learned, it is that you can not let the past control us forever. You have to move forward.”She smiled, the first genuine smi

After making plans to help Lilly, his ex-wife, to restart her life away from the stain of her mother’s name, Justin also started making plans for his girlfriend, Lilly. He was in his office as the morning sun spilled through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office, casting a warm glow ray across the room. The space was filled with the soft hum of productivity as he and Jolce sat across from each other on a set of chairs in the office. It was not the usual one used for official purposes. There was a table in front of them that had an array of documents spread out on top of it. They were trying to chart the course of a new chapter of their lives together.“Are you ready for this?” Jolce asked, her eyes sparkling with enthusiasm as she tapped her fingers against the stack of papers. “This is a big step.”Justin looked up at her with a big smile on his face. He sounded confident as he replied her. “Definitely. You know, I have been able to inherit a huge business empire from my father,
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter 337: Foundation.
Justin reached across the table, taking her hand in his. “This is just the beginning. I have always wanted to use my influence for good, and now we can do it together. You make this journey so much more meaningful.”Jolce pressed her hand against his tightly. She felt very grateful for what is happening. “I am so happy to do this with you babe. I know it would not be easy but i believe with you by my side, we can make it work.”With that, she stood up to leave his office. Justin also stood up to see her out. Their relationship has been quite closer since they got back to the states and after everything they have been through together, their love had also gotten stronger.Now that they have made plans about what they want to achieve, Justin reached out and assembled a team of experts, individuals who shared their vision and could bring their valuable insights and experience to the foundation. They would be the one to assist in reaching out to the local leaders of the communities, educa

The atmosphere was filled with energy as the recipients of the program in the community and the community members rallied behind them, and they were alot of positive media coverage for the event.This was something positive for the people in the community.However, they were some elements that do not seem pleased with how the foundation seems to be making efforts to change the way of life of the community members.They were whispered rumours making rounds and somehow got to Justin's attention through his network of contacts that a local politician, known for his charming smile and enigmatic charisma has been eyeing the funds of the foundation. He seems to want to control it. When Justin heard it, it made him feel uneasy. He wondered why corruption had to be intervention with a noble cause such as this.“Justin, is it true what I

Justin and Jolce decided to work out a plan to expose Carrick and his evil plans. They worked late into the night to map out a great plan.As they finalized the plan, Justin felt determined as he go over it again. Looking at Jolce, he said. “We need to act fast. He will not wait long before he makes his move. We need to be fast about whatever we need to do if we will be able to beat him at his game.”The next day, Justin and Jolce arranged a meeting outreach, he invited local media outlets to discuss the foundation's accomplishments and their mission statement.

Chapter 557: The Price of Loyalty
The days following his confrontation with Mark felt like an endless storm to Justin. The stench of betrayal hung over him like a cloud, darker and heavier than any he had ever known. It was not just Mark's actions that wounded him; it was the realization that even those he trusted most were capable of turning against him. His empire, his family, the people he had built everything for, none of them were safe.In the quieter times when Justin wasn't surrounded by the unrelenting demands of his empire, the loneliness of the entire thing settled on him,In the silence of his penthouse, the cold glass walls offer no comfort. He knew this day would come. But it's still painful. The idea that someone he trusted, people who have stood by him for many years, can decide to betray him.It cuts deeper than any opponent that he had ever faced. But he didn't have the leisure to brood over it. The fight with Ethan was far from over, and Mark was just one casualty in this war. The loss of loyalty
Chapter 556: Reckoning
The room was silent when Justin re-entered. His expression was cold and disbelieving. There was no need for an explanation to the group still seated around the table for what had happened. The tension hung in the air. Every person in the room knew, it seemed, instinctively that a bomb had just gone off.And the consequences will cause serious damage. Mark sat at the head of the table. His fingers tapped the polished wood nervously. His usual confident demeanor was gone. It was replaced by a feeling of discomfort radiating from him. Justin could see it in the way his eyes avoided his gaze. But there had been more-something darker, something deeper. Silently, Justin walked toward the tabletop; his footsteps rang harsh in the otherwise silent room. Mark's eyes flicked up, catching everything else for the briefest instant before quickly looking down.“Everyone out,” Justin said, his voice harsh, commanding. There was no space for dissent.The team, sensing the heaviness of the moment,
Chapter 555: The Enemy Within
Justin sat in his office, staring at the files Mark had delivered earlier. The quiet hum of the city outside his window was a stark contrast to the storm raging inside him. A leak found in his own company—what he thought was kept safe—had just turned into a full-blown leak. People close to him are betraying him. And he didn't know who it was.In his head, Mark's words played on repeat, but it was the stabbing betrayal that hurt the most. He had single-handedly built this company as anything by steel-back-end deals, through a relentless strategy, and with the will to establish iron-clad grounds for its existence. And now, someone within his entire circle began tearing it all apart and selling to the highest bidder. A slap against the face, and Justin wasn't certain how to take it. He instantly picked the phone, dialing Mark's number. It rang once and twice, and right then came Mark's voice.“Justin?”“Where are we with the leak?” Justin’s voice was clipped, every word laced with an
Chapter 554: The Forgotten Foe
Upon waking, Justin felt gnawing uneasiness. He had won relatively hard and long, but as he walked in the office that morning, something was not right; the air felt heavy, the tension intense and indiscernible. Somehow, Justin couldn't seem to shake an inner feeling that someone was still perhaps watching, waiting for just the right moment to make his move.“Good morning, Mr. Drogonuv,” Mark’s voice broke through the silence as Justin walked into his office. The assistant’s usual upbeat tone was tinged with something more serious. “We need to talk.”Justin raised his eyebrows but waved his hand for Mark to continue. "what happened?" Mark's expression was tense, and Justin immediately felt a sense of urgency in the room.“It’s about the company’s recent movements. "I notice a few discrepancies in our financial reports. At first, I thought it was simply an oversight, but I now doubt it," Justin's heartbeat sped up. “What kind of irregularities?”“A few transactions that don’t add up.
Chapter 553: A New Horizon

As the remnants of Ethan's empire collapsed, Justin is forced to face the reality that his tireless victories have come at a terrible cost.The meeting room is quiet. It was the silence that came only after a fight. Board members who were once concerned about Justin's methods, Now they looked at him with a different respect. They understood the stakes, the price paid for survival in this ruthless world.But for Justin, respect is not as important as the weight of his decision. He sat at the head of the table, looking around at the face he was leaning on. Mark stood on the side. His normally confident demeanor was now marked with a delicate caution. Ava sat across from him. Her eyes narrowed as she examined the information in front of her. “Ethan's downfall has left a void in the market,” Justin said in a low but firm tone,
Chapter 552: The Final Blow
The days that followed the media explosion were chaotic. Ethan’s empire, once a towering structure of influence and wealth, was now a crumbling shell. He had endured the tumult of the tragedy caused by the scandal of Samuel Dayton, more than anything that Justin had ever expected. It had spread so far and caused investors to back out. But Justin was well aware that it was not yet over. He was indeed cornered, but that did not mean he was out of the game.One evening, Justin sat in his office, the dim light from his desk lamp lighting up long shadows on the wall. His thoughts are sharp and organized. With no room for complacency at this moment. It is time to end it all. Ethan has been a thorn in his flesh for far too long. And Justin knows the only way to truly destroy him is to take away everything that matters to him.As he searched through the documents on the table Mark walked in with a solemn expression. “we have a situation. Ethan is trying to play his last card. Word is that
Chapter 551: The Unseen Hand
The days that followed Justin’s decisive actions were filled with calculated moves and whispered strategy. Every step he took was a deliberate play in a game where only one could win. Ethan, however, wasn’t just a rival; he was a shadow, a figure always lurking, always ready to strike when least expected. But Justin had learned how to deal with shadows. And this time, he wasn’t afraid of them.Glassy, chilly and eerie, stillness filled the morning air. Just as Justin finished his very first cup of coffee, his phone bleeped with an alert from Ava. His fingers hovered over the screen as the text message loaded:"We’ve got a problem. One of Ethan’s shell companies just made a huge transfer—directly into the account of a prominent politician."A chill ran through Justin’s veins. The realization struck him like a fist to the gut. This wasn’t just a financial maneuver; this was a move that could bring everything crashing down. Ethan had gone from playing the corporate game to playing polit
Chapter 550: The Counterattack Begins
The morning after the war had been declared, Justin was already on the offensive. He knew it wasn’t going to be easy—Ethan wouldn’t sit back and let him take control without retaliating. But Justin had learned long ago that the best defense was a good offense. And if Ethan thought he could break him, he was gravely mistaken.The day started with a call from Ava. She was his eyes and ears in the media world, and if there was anyone who could keep the pressure on Ethan, it was her."Everything’s set," Ava said, her voice crisp and focused. "We’ve got the story ready to drop. I’ve coordinated with the biggest outlets. By this afternoon, Ethan’s going to be on the defensive."Justin reclined, swaying to the beat, tapping his fingers back and forth on his desk."Make sure we control the narrative. We can’t afford any loose ends. I want Ethan’s involvement in every shady deal and backdoor negotiation to be on full display.""Understood. I’ll make sure his reputation takes the hit it deserve
Chapter 549: The Cold War Escalates
The next day, Justin awoke sooner than his usual time, as his mind was already treading the mental paths of what had transpired. Lilly's disloyalty hurt him, but quickly the pain began to replace itself by a cold resolve. He was this way because he was relentless- because he flatly refused to bow down. And that wouldn’t change now.He walked into his office, his haven where he had made multitudes of decisions concerning the fate of his empire. The walls were not comforting at all today; they were lined with dark mahogany, closing in on him. There was a scent of coffee-heavenly, fresh, and inviting, but equally intent on leaving him in the throes of angers light and storm inside his chest. Mark stood by the window, his frame silhouetted against the golden light of these early hours. Definitely, he has been with Justin for years, unwavering in his loyalty. But today, even Mark could sense the shift in the atmosphere. The tension was thick, heavy. Justin hadn’t said much since his co
