When the short break was over and the meeting resumed, Nelson Drogonuv changed his approach. “Evelyn,” he said quite smoothly, “We are trying to consider several options for this integration.”“Titan Innovations is at the fore front, but your competitors have also approached us with compelling proposals as well. Of course, we always prefer working with the best of minds, but only if the terms make sense for both sides and beneficial.”Evelyn's composure changed slightly for a fraction of a second, and Justin noticed it immediately. His father's subtle bluff had hit its Mark.“We are very confident in the value we offer,” Evelyn replied him, although it was obvious her tone had lost some of its edge. “What adjustments would you have me propose to make this work?”Nelson Drogonuv looked at his son, his eyes carrying an unspoken invitation. Justin got the idea, and straightened with his heart racing hard.“Well,” He started talking carefully, trying to choose his words, “a partnership li
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter 438: The Ethics Dilemma
Some days later, the afternoon sun streamed through the floor to the ceiling windows of the office, casting long shadows on the polished mahogany desk where Justin sat.The weight of responsibility attached with corporate work was now becoming more familiar to him, yet today brought with a challenge that he had not anticipated since he joined the company. On his desk was a portfolio that is labeled Ventra Holdings, a prospective partner that will bring in impressive financial returns.The company deals and specialized in overseas manufacturing, offering cost cutting solutions that could significantly improve the Drogonuv corporation's bottom line.However, there are rumours that bad surfaced about Ventra’s questionable labor practices. They have been allegations of exploiting workers in developing countries where most of their factories are located.Justin looked through the portfolio again with a racing mind. Ventra's proposed terms were undeniably lucrative.Securing a partnership

Daniel Craig hesistated for a moment as his polished exterior cracked slightly. “That seems rather unnecessary,” he said with a hint of defensiveness creeping into his tone. “Our track record speaks for itself.”Nelson Drogonuv, who had been silent until now, spoke up. “You know, Justin raises a valid point,” he said in an even manner. “In our line of work, due diligence is non negotiable. If Ventra Holdings has nothing to hide, then an audit should only solidify your position.”Daniel Craig forced a smile. “Yes, of course. We are confident in our business practises and would be open to an audit.” He said although it was obvious from his tone that he was only trying to cover up, his tone lacked comvict.“Good,” Nelson Drogonuv said.After the meeting was over, Justin and his father returned back to the office. “What do you think? His father asked as soon as they are settled, fixing his gaze on Justin.“I think Daniel Craig is hiding something and by extension, that means the whole com
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter 440: The Expansion Project
Each day brings a new challenge to Justin at his father's company as he tries to learn the ropes of the business. He was in the conference room with a racing mind as he tries to review the document containing a proposal in front of him. His mind raced because it was the kind of project he had always dreamed of managing since he had been given tasks at the company.It was a high profile expansion that could hell Drogonuv corporation reputation and set it apart from its competitors.But the weight of the responsibility of the project was undeniable. This was more than just a business initiative to him, it felt like a defining moment in his young career.His father had called him into his office earlier that day, and with a calm but deliberate voice, he had said to him. “We are expanding our digital services division and I want you to oversee the project. We need someone with vision to push us ahead of the curve.”The digital services division was an important part of the company's stra

The more he spoke, the more Justin felt a sense of clarity he had not experience before then. Which was strange as what he was talking about was not something he was experienced in. It was as though the pieces of the puzzle were falling into place. He was not just offering them solutions, he was presenting a well detailed roadmap for the project and its future. And the good thing was that the team was starting to see it too.“Okay,” Tony, the senior manager said after a moment of silence with a tone that is now less dismissive. “Let us say we go along along with this plan. How soon can we start then?”Justin smiled. “We can start right away, within the next few weeks. I can coordinate with the team to establish a timeline, and get yhe ball in motion.”The energy in the room felt different as the team started talking about the finer details. Justin could see their initial doubts starting to dissolve. They were starting to believe in him and in the project.As the meeting got to an end,
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter 442: Stepping Up
The phone call came in late in the afternoon just as Justin was preparing to leave the office for his break. His father's voice which was usually calm and steady was laced with some bit of urgency.“Justin,” his father said, “I need you to take over for me at the World Business Forum in New York. Something urgent came up, and I can not attend.”Justin's heart skipped many beats. The World Business Forum was one of the most prestigious events in the corporate world. Even as a young boy, he knew that because he do watch the highlights on TV sometimes. It was a gathering of top executives, investors, and business leaders. His father had been invited to speak on behalf of Drogonuv corporation, and now, for the first time, he could not make it and he was being asked to represent the company in his father's place.He breathed in and out before replying his father. “I understand, Sir,” He said with a steady voice despite how his heart was beating fast. “I will make sure everything goes smoot
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter 443: Corporate Success
But then, as Justin was talking about the potential benefits of their digital services platforms he had managed, something unexpected happened. One of the senior executives from a rival company, Hamilton Enterprises, stood up in the middle of the room.“Mr Justin Drogonuv,” the man said with a sharp time. “You talk about sustainability, but your company has been criticized for its environmental impact in the past. How can we take your commitment to green technology seriously then when your track record says otherwise?”The question came unexpectedly and was a painted one. Hamilton Enterprises had always been a thorn in Drogonuv corporation's side, and this was clearly an attempt to undermine Justin's presentation, especially given that he is so young. The executive probably thought he was a push over. The room was silent, and justin felt every eye on him, clearly waiting for a convincing answer.For a brief moment that seemed like eternity, Justin froze. He had been expecting question
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter 444: Reflections of Power
Back at the company's headquarters one morning, the office was quiet, the kind of silence that only came after hours when the buzz of activity had stilled to a very low murmur. Justin Drogonuv was alone in his sprawling corner office, the city's skyline glittering through the floor to ceiling windows. The world below seemed distant, almost looking surreal, as he swirled the dark amber liquid in his glass.He was no more a teenager, it was his present self as the CEO of Drogonuv corporation.He leaned back in his chair, feeling the weight of the day settle onto his shoulders. The sleek leather groaned softly beneath him as he stared at the framed picture on his desk. It was an old one, faded a bit at the edges but still sharp enough to evoke a feeling of nostalgia. Hos younger self stood next to his father, Nelson Drogonuv, their smiles frozen in time. It had been taken during one of his official company events, long before the fractures in their relationship had spiralled out of contr

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.

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
