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

    "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

    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,

    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

    It was Justin's phone. It was buzzing right there on the table. His eyes as well as that of Mark's eyes moved towards where it was, simultaneously. He stretched his head above the table and took a peek. He saw who was calling and got back to the position he was in, acting like he had not seen a thing in the first place."Who is that?" Mark asked, rather respectfully, as though trying not to overstep the boundaries set for him."Why would you want to know?" Justin replied, not taking his eyes off the table to look back at his curious assistant. "You do not need to know everything that goes on in my life."Justin's tone had immediately changed to seem more colder, something that only happened when his father's name is brought into the fray. Mark sighed, immediately guessing right off his head who was calling. "Sir, I am sorry but I have to say this," he began, "But don't you think it's high time you start picking your father's calls?" Justin gave him no response. Because it was true

    After his father agreed to his proposition on what he wanted and how he wanted to be treated if he were going to visit, he ended the call and closed for the day, driving back home by himself, without his assistant escorting him this time. As he drove under the moon light casting shadows with the clouds and buildings it shown on, a certain cold feeling attacked him. The weather had grown colder than it had been when he was still in the office. Regrettably, he did not wear a cardigan, neither did he bring one with him. The cold seemed to be penetrating his bones.In the low temperature weather, his mind began to drift back to times he did not want to remember. Times of warmth, when he snuggled in the arms of Lilly during cold moments like this, and never woke up till the morning.He smiled. But it was not the sort of smile one could call cheerful. It was of the type one flashed to people to get them to believe that one is doing okay, but needs more help than a toddler. A struggling sm

    After the call with Jolce, Justin placed his fingers on the the steering wheel once more, about to drive home when he received another call. It was from his assistant, Mark."Mark, what do you want to say to me this time? It's late." Justin complained as though he were right there in the car with him.He picked it up and said to the phone, "Mark, you know I closed from work hours ago right? I'm going home now, why are you calling me?""Uhm, I'm sorry sir," he apologized. "But I think there is something that you should look into."Justin rolled his eyes at that. Of course there was always something he had to look into, he thought. Sometimes he regretted taking up his father's offer."So what's that? Tell me about this thing I should look into," Justin said."It's about Lorenzo Miguel," said his assistant."Lorenzo Miguel?" Justin was sure that he had heard such a name before. But it escaped him on whether or not, he really knew the person. "Tell me about it.""Well... Lorenzo Miguel is

    The next day, Justin had a race he had to finish before time would catch up to him. In the office, he was, waiting for Mark to come tell him of the time he was supposed to be having the meeting with Lorenzo Miguel.Mark came just the next minute."Any news yet?" Justin asked him. "You know what I am talking about. The schedule for the meeting.""Yes," Mark replied. "The schedule is six o'clock by evening. That is the only time he is free to do anything that is not work related. The location is at his golf course, which is really just behind his mansion at—"Mark was interrupted by Justin's sigh. "Mark, I am supposed to be having a date by eight, which if I am lucky enough, I will close by seven. But now I am supposed to be meeting up with this guy by six." He face palmed himself. He was convinced that the date plan was already ruined, and decided to call it off himself, but before he could reach for his phone and put a call across to Jolce, Mark stooped him."I don't think that would

    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.

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.

    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

    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

    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
