When he called Paul, Paul also called Elara and they all showed up for the meeting.“What do we do now? Elara asked as soon as she came in to meet them. Her voice was trembling slightly as she spoke. “These lawsuits could wipe us out totally. We are still trying to keep out heads above water.”Meeky leaned back in his chair as he thought of what to say. He rubbed his temples as his frustration was building up. “we can not let this happen. We need to fight back. We can not let Justin destroy everything we have worked for and built. We will get the services of the best lawyers to help us.”Paul shook his head as he scoffed. “And where are we going to get the money? Money alone can not even fix this. If this guy has solid evidence, we will be fighting a lost case. We should consider a better approach, like a settlement. Maybe we can negotiate something that can allow us keep some of our assets, at least.”“Did you just say settle? Elara snapped. “Do you really think that may happen after

After the lawsuits had been filed and Justin was preparing for the court hearings, he was in his office one morning going through some documents, alongside his assistant, Mark, when his phone buzzed on the table, taking his attention away from the documents. He did not want to answer it as his mind was on the documents he was going through. Mark noticed it and looked at the phone's screen. “Who is it?” Justin asked if he saw Mark looking at the phone while he shuffled through the files he was with.“It is a number that is not saved.” Mark replied as he raised an eyebrow. “Do you want me to check it out?”“Leave it. Let it continue ringing. I am too busy for unsolicited calls at the moment.” Justin said as he returned his focus to the documents in front of him. However, as the phone continued to ring, he could not help but feel curious as to who might be calling.“Hold on, I will answer it.” He said suddenly as he reached out for the phone. He pressed the answer button to answer the c

Justin nodded at Mark, acknowledging the concern. “That is why I want to hear him out first. I will try to gauge his sincerity and assess what he knows and wants to tell me. If he is willing to open up, it could be a very good advantage for us.”Later that day, Justin texted Hartman the location of where they would meet. It was a cafe located in a trendy spot which is usually frequented by executives like themselves. It was a lively atmosphere as it buzzed with the conversation of those who came there to chill.When he got there, Hartman was already seated at a spot, waiting for him. He was looking nervous as he fidgeted with a napkin.Justin spotted him as soon as he got in. He had sent his picture for easy identification earlier.“Sir.” Hartman bowed slightly as he greeted Justin with a low voice. He wore a casual clothing that contrasted with the wealth he possessed. Justin had no idea why he did that.Justin acknowledged his greetings and took a seat. “Let us cut to the chase Jame

Justin was in his office a few days later and just some days away from the court hearing with his security team as they were assessing a recent threat. Given his case against Meeky and the way it has been intensifying, Meeky had resorted to untoward means to get back at Justin. Justin leaned back in his chair with his arms crossed, as he listened with rapt attention to his assistant, Mark, talking about the current situation.“Meeky is cornered and we all know cornered animals are the most dangerous. He is trying to use intimidation tactics and we have gotten credible reports of him making threats against you and your loved ones.”Justin felt his anger burn through him as the thought of Meeky stopping to such lows. “What kind of threats are we talking about here?” He asked with a firm but steady voice.“Direct threats against you, Jolce and even your family. He had contacted some of the worst individuals in the underworld to send you a message.” Mark replied as his brow furrowed with
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter 377: More threats.
“Do not worry. I will handle it. We are not going to let him intimidate us with such threats.” Justin assured her. “But I want you to be very vigilant. We will get through this together.”Jolce had a look of resignation on her face even if Justin could not see her, she breathed in and out to keep herself calm. “Okay then. Just promise me you will be careful. I do not want anything to happen to you.”“I promise babe. Nothing is going to happen to me.” Justin said as he felt this urge to protect her and most importantly, himself. “Just make sure you stay close to home for sometime. I will arrange for security that will be with you all the time.”“Okay babe.” She replied as Justin hung up. After hanging up, Justin felt this resolve within him. He was determined not to let Meeky's threat disrupt his life or the lives of those he cared about. If he thought he could intimidate him, then Meeky was gravely mistaken.After that day, Justin's security team implemented the new security measures
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter 378: Building Bridges.
As the threat of Meeky hangs in the air, Justin has taken several measures to make sure that he is protected alongside his loved ones. But that will not stop him from attending the social function that he was invited to.Tonight, he was attending one and as he stood in front of his mirror, adjusting his tailored suit, the color of the fabric complementing that of his keen eyes.Tonight, he was going to attend an event that will not just be for networking purposes alone but possibly forged alliances that could enhance the impact of his philanthropic foundation.After he was done with his grooming, he looked at the business cards he had on his desk. They are the key to the potential connections he hoped to make to broaden his foundation's reach tonight. His recent brouhaha with Meeky had taught him that sometimes, you need collaboration and not retaliation.He wanted to build the low income communities with his resources in order to have a legacy that can outlast that of his adversaries
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter 379: Jolce at the Party.
Halfway into the event, Justin had met almost all the notable people at the event and had spoken to them. He then decided to move to the balcony to get some fresh air.As he stood beside the iron railings, he could see the city as it glittered below. He pulled out his phone to check for notification from his assistant as regards the foundation and also check for notifications from his security team. Everything seems to be in perfect order at the moment, and he made him calm, breathing in and out as he tried to calm himself down.Just then, he heard someone walking up to him in heels. The sound was clicking against the marble floor. He turned around to see Jolce stepping on to the balcony. She looked very elegant in her flowing red gown, her hair falling over her shoulder. He was momentarily surprised he saw her there. He had not invited her because of security reasons.“Justin, I had no idea you would be out here too.” She said with a warm smile. “You look dashing.”“Thank you Jolce.
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter 380: The Unexpected Twist.
Two days after the event, Justin was in his office feeling good about the partnerships he had been able to secure and the potential ones he knows would fall into place. The struggles with the foundation in trying to achieve certain goals would now be easier for him and for a while, he made himself feel at ease. He was building a strong network by gaining new allies, and also trying to make sure his adversaries does not have any influence left.But his moment of feeling good was caught short when Mark, his trusted assistant, came into the room with a serious expression on his face. He appears tense which made Justin to be on alert as soon as he saw him.“Boss.” His assistant started talking as he closed the door behind him. “There is something you need to know. I just received word from one of our contacts. It is information about Meeky.”Justin's expression changed immediately as he heard that. He thought he had taken every step to make sure Meeky was neutralized. “So what now?” He as

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.

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.

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
