She had a new business venture she was trying to focus on asides the foundation. The foundation was a lifelong dream but that is not every thing she wanted to do with her life. Since she met Justin and developed a romantic relationship, her life has been revolving around him and she wanted to be able to stand by herself business so it does not look like she relies on his money to survive, especially now that she is truly aware of his financial might and strength.But like every other sector of the business world, there is always a higher competition who would do anything to wipe out the smaller businesses or those just growing.And for Jolce, who uses Justin's company as a shield to get contract for her own business, th Story is not so different. She had been trying to secure a contract but her rival, an astute businessman named Victor Leland, had been

Jolce was momentarily surprised. She was not expecting that question but nevertheless, she tried to answer the question as professional as possible.“We have accounted for all expenses in the proposal. We approach costs with emphasis on efficiency and non compromise of quality. This is a laudable project and it is good for everyone.”Leland smirked as he heard her say that. He then leaned back in his chair before replying her. “You see, you sound very noble with your answer but the industry does not work like that.I can assure you that my own company can do the job better you. That is if all you have to offer is this pitch you just presented.”Not minding that Leland was trying to pick on her, Jolce pressed on with her presentation. “While I appreciate your confidence, I believe my company has the best capacity to make this project work. We are a company that adapts easily to challenges and our focus when collaborating with local workers also helps us manage costs effectively.”Lelan

Few days after the presentation, Jolce was restless as the company that put up the contract for the bid was yet to reach out back to her. It felt like an indefinite stretch of time for her as she waited.As she waited, she also thought about the expression on Leland's face as they exchanged ideas in the form of a face off. It made her feel more determined to win that contract. Hopefully, she will be contacted soon.She was still brooding when Justin's message came in. His message came in at the right time, offering her relief from the burden of her thoughts and restless mind.“Hey babe. I trust you are good? I am at our usual spot. Meet me there.” That was the content of the message and Jolce was excited as she read it. She was always eager to see him as he has become busy with work of late. He has always been her confident, who gives her encouragement and support at the right time,, especially during times like this.She got up from where she was and made her way towards the coffee s
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter 347: The plan.
“From everything you have told me now, it appears like he might be vulnerable with his logistics and that can give us an edge if we can find a way to make public the inefficiencies or how he delays in his operations.” Justin said.“That could work out well for us if we do it right. But the pitch is already gone. But I did made mention of our on time delivery and also working alongside budget. I hope that could help sway their minds and influence their decision.” Jolce said with enthusiasm.“Yeah. Exactly.” Justin said as he saw that she was getting excited. “You know what, I will reach out to my contacts tonight and see what they can do. In the mean time, let us also try to reach out to the company and see if they will be interested in a follow up meeting. But if that happens, you will need to be prepared to come in strong and ready to counter any arguments the board may throw at you.”As they continued their discussion, Jolce felt good and the fact that Justin believes in her abiliti

Back at the office space Jolce uses for her company, there was joy in the air as her team gathered together for what they think would be the last phase of the negotiations that would Land them the lucrative contract. They were hopeful that the deal would come through and it would be sealed. But as it seems like hopeful feelings we're in the air, there was also whispers of trouble. In a room that Jolce uses as a board room and conference room, some of her team members were busy talking in hush tones and the look on their faces we're that of concern. Jolce noticed it as she walked in. Her heart raced as she approached them carefully, they had no idea she was in the room with them.“Is anything the problem?” She asked. They turned as they heard her voice. They were trying to compose themselves before replying. “Well, there is word going around that Leland is spreading false information about our information.” One of the team members whose name is Ethan said with his brow furrowed. “H

When the negotiations started at the hotel, Jolce's team we're already there.After few days that the hotel was bought by Justin, the name had been changed to something he coined and it was hung proudly outside. It was a different feeling as Jolce walked around the hotel with an air of confidence through the grand entrance.As they settled into the conference room that was supposed to hold the meeting and negotiations, Jolce could see Leland as he had on a smug demeanor the moment he walked into the hotel. It did not look like he noticed the little changes in the hotel. He had not felt the change in power Dynamics.“Good morning and welcome back Mr Leland” Jolce greeted him with a polite smile and nod. She tried to hide the triumph in her voice. “I hope you do not mind the change of location to this place for better convenience.”Leland's face contorted but he had to compose himself quickly in order not to give himself away. “Well, it still will not change anything Miss Jolce. You a
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter 350: A Sweet Victory.
After the negotiations, every one moved away from the room where it held and waited for the final announcement. Jolce was with Justin and her team members, seated comfortably in the lounge area, enjoying some drinks.Jolce was so comfortable because the hotel now belong to Justin. An hotel he bought solely because of her. He did not buy it in her name, so it does not belong to her. But the fact that he acquired it because of her alone made it so special. It was a move that made her belief and trust in Justin more solidified. He has always been there for her and he had shown her times and times over that there is nothing he can not do to support her and her dreams. She was glad she met him. Not just meeting him but she was glad she did not judge him by his looks when she met him unlike how others do to him. Now she is the girlfriend of the wealthiest person on Earth. Although sometimes, she finds that very hard to believe and accept. He does not look like it. He was just a young man wh

“Well, I could not let him run over you like a rag. Besides, I believe you are the best choice from the beginning.” He moved her away towards a quieter part of the hallway, away from the cheering. Jolce's heart was filled with gratitude and admiration for him. “It is great how you were able to influence this. You are amazing.”“Well, you do not have to thank me. I just know how to recognize potential when I see it.” He said as he winked at her. “But this achievement is all on you. Trust me, you really put in the hard work and that you got it shows that you truly deserve it.”Jolce looked at him lovingly and felt like kissing him. But they were still in the hallway, no matter how quiet it may be around there. Justin noticed it and understood. He held her close to him as he tried to kiss her. He placed his lips gently on hers, enveloping her lower lips on his mouth. Jolce also responded. They were like that for a minute before they disengaged.“Well,what should we do to celebrate this?

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

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.

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
