I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter Ninety-six - You Are Fired!
"Fired?" Bruce started, almost unable to believe what he had just heard. He was finally out of the four walls that held him for days, but he still had this fear of being locked up. The other thing he feared more was being let off. This business he had with the Drogonuvs was his means of livelihood. The only reason he could get the woman he wanted, even when she was someone else's wife. He knew that if he were to lose this job, then he would lose it all. "Please sir..." He was on his knees now, like the rest of the people in the room. "Please, do not let me off. Have mercy on me, please. This job is my life. I can not be fired.""Yes, sir. This job is the only reason I can live well and take care of my two daughters. Look at them." Mr Tucson said, pointing at Lilly and Diana. "And as you can see, my wife and I really need this job because we are getting older by the day. We need this business because we have to save more for our older years. And we have been running this for a long tim
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter Ninety-seven - Too Harsh Of A Punishment!
Bruce eyes widened at his statement. He had always been the manager of the company. The one who heard directly from the headquarters. The one who fished out orders and duties. Why was he being demoted? It was better sure than being laid off, but he feared the humiliation and shame that would come along with it."But sir, isn't that too harsh of a punishment? I have always been the manager and I have done my job well up to this date. I'm sorry to protest but...""I do not think you are sorry though. Maybe you do not want the job anymore.""No, sir. I need the job actually. I just....""You are in no place to make suggestions as it stands. So you better shut up and be grateful, else I will demote you to being the cleaner or guard. That would be better wouldn't it?""No sir." He said immediately. "Thank you, sir.""I thought so." Mark sighed and turned to Leanne. "Now, you. What do you want?""Sir, the boutique. That store is my life, my all. If I lost it, I wouldn't know what to do anym
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter Ninety-eight - Justin Caused All Of It!
Immediately, they all hurried out of the office for fear of being locked up if they were walking too slow. The few days they had sent in their little cell was enough for a lifetime. They all scurried down the hallway, searching for the elevator. And the moment they found it, they all squeezed in and descended to the first floor. Each person looked so happy to finally be out. The receptionist glanced at them and looked away immediately. Whatever had happened to them was none of her business. Her only one concern and duty was to welcome guests to the headquarters.Diana looked at her angrily but could not do anything for fear of being locked up just like the rest. They immediately left the building and rushed past security. Once totally outside, they all took deep breaths.Diana and Lilly immediately hugged their parents once more."Please, do not ever return here, unless you are asked to. We were so worried about you." Diana started, holding both her parents by their hands. "You can't
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter Ninety-nine - Begging A Nobody!
Justin noticed a group of people standing in front of the headquarters. And he was sure that he recognized all of them. They were talking discreetly amongst each other. So he decided to go over and talk to them. He excused himself from the lady he was speaking with."Hi there." He said with a warm smile as he got to where they were all standing. "Do you need help with anything?" He stood so casually, and from his simple looks, no one would ever believe them if they told them that he was the cause of their problems.Diana stared at him angrily, trying hard to hold in the words she had for him. They all hissed and turned away, and began heading to Lilly's car."Sir..." She said desperately falling to her knees. The sound of Leanne's voice stopped them from going any further."What are you doing Leanne? Let's go now." Diana said angrily. She proceeded to grab Leanne's arm, trying to pull her up but she refused and pushed Diana's hand away."I am really sorry for what I did, sir. I didn't
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter One-Hundred - Leanne Is Forgiven!
"Shut up." Leanne said in anger and got to her feet. She turned and faced Bruce, her eyes burning with so much rage. "You act like you're all that when you are not. The real truth is that I am in this mess because of you. I lost my boutique because of you. Now I am trying to set things straight by fixing my wrongs and you are trying to discourage me? What is wrong with you? Why are you so full of yourself? Acting all high and mighty when you really can't do anything? That is why you were demoted today and you know it."Her words were harsh and piercing, even to the people she wasn't referring to. They looked at her in surprise. She didn't seem like someone who had a sharp tongue so they were extremely surprised at her outburst."Wait what?" Bruce finally managed to say. "Now you're really blaming me? Aren't you the one who made your decisions on your own? Did I force you?" He scoffed in disbelief and shook his head. "And to think I even got locked up because I came here to try and hel
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter 101 - The Justin Misconceptions!
Justin paid no mind to the words of the Tucsons as well as their future son in-law, Bruce. After all, they were the ones who needed him the most, and if they had not learnt their lessons, it just meant to him that they had very thick skulls that he should not be bothered with.He began walking away with Diana still slinging unsavory words at him."Are you going now?" Leanne asked, almost in an anxious way, as though she wanted to follow him to wherever he was going to. "Yes," Justin responded. "I have a lot of things to do." "Alright, take care. Bye." There was a sound of desperation in her voice that seemed to the Tucsons to be utter embarrassing. They cringed seeing Leanne sound so entirely submissive to Justin who they looked to be little more than a dog."You are just embarrassing," Diana commented on her behavior, contorting her facial features to show disgust.Leanne did not mind or care at all about whatever opinion they had of her, she had gotten the reassurance she wanted,
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter 102 - Leanne Is Reinstalled!
Justin got up to his office door, wondering how much of a rowdy bunch the Tucson's had become. He did not remember that they had ever been there way before now. He met his assistant in the office.With a grin he said, "Don't tell me you have not gotten tired of playing the boss."Mark laughed at the statement in an almost shy manner. "Well I have to admit, it is fun playing the boss," he said.Justin laughed at this statement but commented under his breath, "Too bad I don't exactly enjoy playing it." Mark did not hear him say this as it was impossible for him to do so."What's your next order sir?" He asked, getting up from the seat, as just twirled around the table. "Well, first of all," he began, "You should reinstall that woman's business." Justin sat down on the seat."Which of them?" Mark asked. "The woman that owned the boutique. Her case is settled. I just wanted them to beg for mercy that's all. Turns out she was the only one that did as I expected. The Tucson's are still as
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter 103 - A Need To Travel!
A few days later, on a somber cold day, Justin stared from a window of his, across the city. His eyes held the round orange sun that hung on the sky like a ball held on the air by some invincible string. The only excitement of the past few days had washed over him. It did not seem like there was anything much to do than to attend meetings, plan schedules, sign papers, watch his bank account receive credit alert every few minute, and then sit and watch the city from his office which was at the highest floor.He could remember faintly what had been his fate before the present moment. When he was still with Lilly. It almost seemed like a dream, or a memory of a distant event from very long ago. Sometimes he still thought about Lilly. Her eyes, her hair, his fingers holding on to that hour glass figure of hers. That was the her he remembered. The one he was seeing in recent times, proved to be different. She looked at him different, she walked different, and she spoke different...Admitt

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
