*****Without further delay, all matters concerning the female overseer were examined, and aside from her termination, she was handed over to law enforcement for further punishment which might likely be getting thrown into jail for years.After investigating her history and track record since she commenced working there, it was revealed that besides abusing her authority, she embezzled the company’s resources, particularly those allocated to the security team. She and some accomplices engaged in the theft of company property, which they later sold on the black market after working hours.In addition to this, she conspired with individuals in the accounting department to siphon substantial portions of the security team's salaries.That's not all.In addition to all the ones revealed. The revelation that the now-ex-security supervisor had conspired with security personnel, whom she frequently reassigned to work for others instead of safeguarding the company, came as a profound shock to
*****That same day, Grace initiated a complete overhaul of the company and terminated numerous employees.Aside from termination, many of the staff members were also apprehended, spanning from the upper echelon to those at the lowest rung, with the potential of facing imprisonment.In a mere single day, the entire organization was profoundly rattled. However, as the adage always states, nothing valuable comes effortlessly.Before they concluded work that day, which was already quite late into the night, many shareholders and executives whose records hadn't been reviewed called for a vote of no confidence in Grace's leadership, as they no longer had faith in her.But due to the late hour, it was postponed to the following day.Throughout all these events, Williams remained by Grace's side to safeguard her, in case of any unforeseen developments.He had even completely forgotten about Penelope, whom he had pledged to collect from the hospital later that day.After they wrapped up work,
*****“Greetings to you all. Are you guys perhaps in pursuit of a route?”The system, (@_@)Once Williams accepted the system’s quest, he abstained from fleeing and directly parked his vehicle on a quiet road before exiting it.Upon witnessing his halt, the individuals pursuing him were momentarily flabbergasted before also coming to an abrupt standstill, presuming that Williams had intended to confront them, a possibility that fascinated them.Nonetheless, their bewilderment arose when they heard the query posed by Williams. Consequently, they exchanged puzzled glances before redirecting their attention to Williams, as if he were behaving irrationally.The group comprised five individuals attired in black suits, black ties, and black shoes.Regaining their composure, they comprehended that Williams was likely playing them. However, a single glance at his countenance indicated his seriousness, further perplexing them.Unbeknownst to them, Williams was presently scrutinizing them t
***** Like every other city and state, Zed City is categorized into three tiers. The lower echelon, the middle echelon, and the upper echelon. The lower echelon contains people who could scarcely afford three square meals a day and those who perform most of the looked-down-upon tasks in the city. The slum areas were the residents of these people, and they typically comprised the largest percentage of Zed City’s population. This was the life Williams had experienced for the past five years, until a few weeks ago. As for the middle echelon, it contains the people who are neither affluent nor destitute. They are usually well-fed and do not lack good things, yet they do not have luxurious lives. They live modestly and possess various assets such as houses and cars. Like the people of the lower echelon, their residences also match their status. Ultimately, they are the aspiration of the lower-tier residents. Finally, there is the upper echelon, which contains the people who are
***** Because it was already late that day, Laura made an exception to sleep over at Williams' house, which immediately caused Williams a severe headache. After settling the hospital fees and enduring playful teasing from the nurses who had mocked him the previous night, they finally left the hospital. Although Williams' hypercar was a two-passenger vehicle designed to accommodate only the driver and one additional person, Laura and Penelope had to squeeze themselves in until they reached Williams' house. As for Williams, his discomfort also eventually subsided with time. This was especially evident when he observed the two women treating each other like siblings, which brought Williams a sense of tranquility. That night, he even entertained whimsical thoughts and images. Thoughts and images of fulfilling his desire to sleep between the two beauties. However, he was destined for disappointment because upon arriving at his house, which Laura admired for its exquisite beauty, s
*****Still inside Grace’s office.It’s been over two hours since she consented to Williams’ proposal and since he departed, but since then, she hadn't received a solitary word from him.It was as if he had vanished, leaving Grace incredibly anxious.Initially, she believed she had dismissed Williams' commitment, as she was a woman who had never depended on anyone or entrusted her destiny to others. This was why she lacked close companions.However, she eventually acknowledged that she had deceived herself, heavily relying on Williams' assurance.This was something about women and a key to winning a woman's heart.Support them in their darkest hours, and they would become apprehensive if you weren't there beside them. They would seek your support and advice.The same happened to Grace.She had been self-reliant since childhood, well aware of the world's darkness.Yes, Grace had comprehended the world's cruelty from a young age.Even now, she vividly recalled her father's agonizing dea
*****Several hours prior.Departing from the company, Williams contacted Marcus, the Fourth Underworld king after he had acquired all the necessary details about the six stakeholders and had meticulously devised a scheme.He hadn't anticipated the plan to proceed so smoothly and be so effective.In reality, Williams' strategy was straightforward and unambiguous and he had almost thought it wouldn't work or wouldn't go that well.The plan was that he and Marcus would uncover the extent of the six people's gravest transgressions and then exploit it to sway them against ousting Grace.That was the scheme, but upon reaching the residence of the first person they had selected and surreptitiously infiltrated, what Williams and Marcus witnessed left them entirely dumbfounded.In addition to feeling speechless, they both felt repulsed to the extent that they almost vomited, and this included Marcus, who had been immersed in the underworld all his life and had witnessed all sorts of crimes.O
*****"Do you know that we've received more than a hundred threatening calls and messages from the other shareholders in the past few hours, haven't we fulfilled our part already? Can't you just provide us with all the files already?"Presently, Williams could be seen standing with a smiling face before six individuals in an underground parking lot.Merely looking at these six individuals, they appeared utterly frustrated and helpless, with their eyes filled with weariness looking as if they were about to start sobbing.Hearing the words spoken by one of the two women in the group, Williams' smile didn't waver at all, and he felt not even a hint of pity for them.Apart from the fact that the six individuals are extremely dirty, their behavior is so toxic and filled with disgust, so, why would Williams pity them?"When you were undermining the company and even plotting to oust Grace, did you ever feel that you folks were being excessive?"Williams threw the question, and immediately, t
