My Trillion Dollar System Chapter 36. Testing The Waters
“You have gone nuts,” Steven chuckled incredulously as the shocked expression immediately shifted to a nervous light.“Do I look like I am joking?” August asked as Steven opened his mouth to speak, but words failed him.“You don’t know Dave Arizona. He will never let it happen and…”“I know him,” August cut him short. “I don’t know if I have told you this before, but he is my biggest rival.”It took a while for Steven to reply when August said that. “I know. You said that in the bloody interview,” Steven scoffed. “My rival is the biggest conglomerate in the country.” He said it exactly as August had said in the interview, with a mocking face as he raised his gaze to August. “You literally declared war on Arizona Group. Anyone with eyes would see it.”“And Dave knows that,” August replied almost immediately. “That’s why I can’t let my guard down nor wait for him to attack.”“He already did?” Steven asked with curiosity as August hesitated. He didn’t want to sound like he was desperate
My Trillion Dollar System Chapter 37. A Gloomy Day
August watched as the presenter asked Steven questions related to the Arizona Group from the other room where everything was viewed on a TV. The producer, who was also newly employed, had his gaze fixed on the screen, while Dan sat beside him, looking at another screen monitoring the statistics of the active listeners.“What is this?” Dan asked after a long while, shifting uncomfortably in his seat as August turned to look at him. “What is it, Dan?” he asked as Dan pointed to the screen. “There are no real-time viewers. Isn’t that strange?” August peered more into the screen as if he would see more if he did that.“That’s impossible,” August breathed, trying to look calm even when it seemed like they were on the verge of ruin.He raised his head to look at the new rooms that were separated from them by a see-through glass. As if Steven already sensed what was going on, he raised a brow at August, who immediately forced a smile and mouthed, “Good job,” to him as Steven nodded with a sm
My Trillion Dollar System Chapter 38. An unwelcome Ally
"Move," August said, his voice filled with venom. The image of her condescending stare as she watched Allen humiliate him filled his head, but she shook her head, wearing a desperate expression as August let out a soft chuckle and brushed his hands through his hair. "Do you have fun playing with me? I am not the same August you knew in the past, Zara. You mean nothing to me," August stated firmly. And that was the pure fact. He had a bigger goal now, thanks to her."To crush the Arizona group? Is that what you want?" she asked, peering at him."What?" August tried not to sound shocked as he watched her."I have been watching you, August. You have become ambitious. And you're right," she said, dropping her hand to her side and shaking her head. "You've changed a lot." She swallowed painfully, her eyelids lowering. "I regret letting you slip away from my hand," her voice filled with regret, something August found hard to believe.He had never seen Zara like this. His willful ex-girlfrie
My Trillion Dollar System Chapter 39. Outsmarting Zara
August dragged a drunken Zara into the room he had booked, just close to the bar they had left ten minutes ago. He dropped her on the bed carelessly and exhaled. "Damn it. She is heavy," he muttered under his breath as he watched her mumble something in her drunken state.Back at the bar, he had agreed they formed an alliance. But it was a lie. You could call this cheating or whatever, but he knew better than to trust Zara. He knew this woman more than anyone else. He had followed her for the last six years like a newborn pup would follow its mother. He knew better than to trust her. Zara never goes back to her past. Never. She had too much pride for that.This alliance might produce something fruitful in the sense that Dave would be ruined, but Zara would surely have other plans. And he would never fall for her tricks. He didn't know what to think when he first saw her at the bar. His heart had skipped a beat. Of course, he was human. She had broken his heart in the past, but she was
My Trillion Dollar System Chapter 40. A Lead
August entered the company the next morning after an uneventful evening with his ex-girlfriend. Everyone appeared busy, except for Lila, who immediately noticed him. It seemed she was the only one who consistently paid attention to August, always sensing when he wasn't feeling well, despite his attempts to conceal it."August?" She raised a questioning brow as she approached him."Hey, Lila," August replied, forcing a smile."You look awful. Come on, let's go to my office. I'll make you a cup of coffee," she said, leading the way as August followed reluctantly.He took a seat opposite hers as they entered the office, his downcast expression still evident while Lila busied herself with the coffee maker in the corner."What's wrong? Didn't you sleep last night?" she asked, placing a tumbler in front of him.He mouthed a thanks and took a sip. "I didn't," he admitted after swallowing.Their conversation was interrupted by the door opening, and both August and Lila glanced up to see Dan s
My Trillion Dollar System Chapter 41. Arya And Dave
“What did you find?” Lila asked, even though she was already looking at the screen while August's gaze remained fixed on it. Dan scrolled down as they all read from Arya’s background to how she became popular to the part where it talked about her connection with Arizona Media. “On the 4th of March, 2023, she was accosted by an angry civilian who poured acid on her as she raved about how Arya presented fake news that led to her only son committing suicide. After this, Arya Stone has not been talked about for a while nor seen in public,” August read aloud. “Shit. Then she deserved it,” Lila immediately commented. “We shouldn’t jump to conclusions. We both know Dave has an idea of every need presented at Arizona Media. But Arya might not know,” August said, straightening up after scrolling down, finding nothing that connected Dave with the article. “I need to meet Arya,” August said, as Dan and Lila both looked at him curiously. “Why?” “Because she might be the key to unraveling the
My Trillion Dollar System Chapter 42. The Hospital Saga
“What the hell are you doing here?! You're not allowed in here?!” The nurse from the desk yelled at August after they managed to get Arya Stone away from the angry mob that had been over her a minute ago. All gazes diverted to him as he looked from one person to another: the women in monochrome clothing, white overalls that showed they were patients, and the two other men in blue scrubs.Then August's gaze came to rest on Arya Stone. She was still sitting on the floor, her head bowed with her hair covering her face. When they dragged her, he had seen a part of her face. Her scared face. It had sparked a certain type of reaction he couldn’t quite describe yet.“And why am I not allowed her?” August raised a cocky brow at Nat and tucked his hands into his pocket, watching the lady who was desperate to get him out.“What are you doing right now?” She asked in a low, pissed tone, any form of admiration of August suddenly fading away.“I should ask you that. Why did you lie Arya isn’t here
My Trillion Dollar System Chapter 43. Freedom
“We are not in any position to give you information concerning Arya Stone,” the doctor responded shakily, still under August's grip as August smiled.“You are trying to be cocky, ugh?” he asked while the doctor still stared at him with a frightened look but not anything close to doing his bidding, which only annoyed August.“You can call this place a psychiatric hospital, but all I see are people that ganged up against Arya Stone!” he seethed as the doctor’s shock deepened with every revelation August gave.“I…I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he replied again as August released him almost immediately. The doctor’s face looked relieved as he leaned on the wall, still scared.“Is Arya Stone mad? Why did that bastard keep her here?”“Yes. Yes sir. There is one Mr. August….”“Continue making that call and this whole building will go down in flames,” August turned around to look at Nurse Nat, who had a confused look.She placed her hands down slowly. “Turn it off or we’ll all burn,

“I think you’re mistaken, Miss. I hope you can check through again in case you missed something….”“Are you trying to teach me my job?” The receptionist snapped, shocking Aliya with her abrupt outburst.A mere receptionist was talking to her rudely, and there was nothing she could do. They weren't in the same league, but if she caused a scene with this secretary here, what would the trillion-dollar company think of her?She pressed her lips together for a while, trying to suppress the growing anger within her.“I am not trying to teach you anything, Miss. I only want a chance to meet the chairman,” Aliya managed to muster in a calm tone.“And I am telling you right now that there is no room for you, Miss. Please leave, or I will have security drag you out,” she hissed impatiently and shifted her attention to the system in front of her.Aliya wasn’t sure how to behave afterward. Even from the beginning, this whole thing had worn her out. Pushing through was something she was barely cop

Chapter 97. Defeat Before Victory
“I can’t believe you agreed to it just like that, Grandfather.” Simon walked into Pa West’s study room later that evening to vent. Even though he had looked calm when everything was concluded earlier, deep down he was pissed.“Don’t be such a fool. Didn’t you realize the stunt that loser was trying to pull? He is trying to delay the vote to take down his wife.” Pa West took a gulp of his liquor while seated on the luxurious leather seat in the room. He relaxed backward and gave a satisfied groan as the liquid went down his throat.“If we had dismissed his suggestion like that, the shareholders might start to think we only want to remove Aliya due to personal reasons. These people don’t give a fuck about sentiments. All they care about is profits. And Allen, that weird pauper, knew that and played his card well.” He placed his hand on his chin, a thoughtful look on his face. “I wonder how he got the idea to bring in the trillion-dollar company into this. He talks about the company like

Chapter 96. Let’s Compete
“The both of you could compete for who could bag the contract with the trillion-dollar company,” August suggested with a confident look. “I am sure the owners won’t mind if they see that the West Corporation is enthusiastic to work with them.”“Don’t be ridiculous,” Simon chuckled as he tried to wave off the suggestion. “They would think the company is divided if my sister and I submit different proposals to them for the same company.”“And who said you would be the next chairman if it isn’t Aliya? What do you take me for?” Landon immediately cut in as Simon shifted his gaze slowly to meet his enraged brother.“Shut up and stop embarrassing yourself, Landon.” Pa West seemed to be pissed too as a deep frown formed on his face.Landon gritted his teeth as he tried to hold himself from speaking again. But he knew better. His grandfather, who was his only backer, was solidly behind Simon. It felt like all he had been working hard for was a waste. He had been fighting Aliya all this while

Chapter 95. Who is worthy?
“This is why I keep talking about the importance of marrying people with brains. How could you just suggest something like that?” Landon spoke up, immediately seizing the opportunity to humiliate August again while August maintained his calm and composed look.He stared straight ahead without sparing Landon a look. He knew Landon was dying to see him crumble. Too bad he was done being a punching bag to them. This would be the beginning of their sorrows.“You always end up saying nonsense whenever you open that mouth of yours. What the hell do you know about business, huh?” Pa West asked.“Do you truly care about my sister? Do you actually want her to lose her position deep down?” Simon asked with a cocky grin. As always, he was the only one who made a point.Normally, they were supposed to just agree to it and watch Aliya fail because bagging a deal with a trillion-dollar company is like an ant trying to move a mountain. The West Corporation is a small company and not among the top th

Chapter 94. The Challenge
Simon noticed how Aliya entwined her fingers together. He could already see how tense she was, and he would definitely use that to his advantage. He was always like this—watching with sharp eyes like an eagle and pouncing on his prey when they let their guard slightly down.“Are you tense, sister? If you’re uncomfortable about the whole arrangement and would prefer not to go through with it, you can just step down willingly. Everyone would understand that you’ve grown wary over the years and would like to focus on your family now,” Simon said with a cool gaze, making a face as if he was truly looking out for her.“Don’t be ridiculous, brother. Just because I am a married woman doesn’t make my career hopeless. Forget about stepping down—I dare you to say you are capable of handling West Corporation half as well as I have,” Aliya said in a cocky tone, causing Simon to clench his fist, which was placed on the table.It wasn’t always easy to get her brother to lose his composure, but when

“Did the beating affect your head? What the hell are you saying?” Aliya laughed, not taking his words seriously. He didn’t blame her. He is a pauper with nothing to his name. How could he possibly help her?“You will see how I will make everything easy for you.” August sat up, brushed away the hair covering her face, and placed a peck on her forehead. Aliya watched him, unsure how to react.She pressed her lips and watched him in silence as he lay back. “Could you get me an apple, please?” he asked politely.Aliya, who was deep in thought, shook her head as she came back to reality. She flashed him a smile and nodded. “Sure,” she said and started to walk out of the room.“Babe,” he called when she grabbed the doorknob and was about to open the door. “Make sure to take your time,” he said with a calm smile.Aliya gave him a half-suspicious look before nodding.Immediately after she left, August located his phone by the bed stand and dialed Lila.“That was quick,” she commented the mome

“I will do neither, and none of you has the right to make me do any of it if I don’t want to,” Aliya said stubbornly.“You are testing my patience, girl,” Pa West gritted his teeth. As Aliya made to say something, August held her hand. She turned to look at him, an almost helpless look on her face. August shook his head.“I don’t care,” Aliya still turned around to say. “You all should go to hell for all I care!” she blurted in annoyance and made to leave when Landon rushed after her and grabbed her other hand.Aliya swung around to find Landon staring deadly at her. He raised his hand to slap her. “How dare you speak to Grandfather like that!” he berated.August couldn’t believe what had just happened. He stared wide-eyed at his wife’s now reddened face. He grabbed Landon by the collar. “How dare you!” he fired at him.Landon had never seen August like this. August rarely spoke, but now he looked like an enraged lion about to pounce on its prey.“You crazy psycho. Get your hands off

Chapter 91. Mounting Pressure
“What! No!” Aliya blurted out almost immediately, glaring at anyone who dared to look at her.“Are you glaring at me right now because of this piece of trash?” Pa West asked, a disgusted look on his face as August's fist clenched. This wasn’t him. He wasn’t used to people treating him like trash. In the past, he would usually put whoever tried to cross him in their place. Dave's case was a perfect example. At that moment, he felt a sudden urge to reincarnate that part of him that he killed years ago.But he couldn’t do that. He had managed through all this while. Besides, he barely cared about insults as long as Aliya was still very much in love with him. But what he wouldn’t tolerate was anyone trying to take her away from him.“She is feeling like a big shot because Dad made her the CEO, Grandfather. Uncultured people like her, who are raised by nobodies, will always act like they want. It’s so disappointing,” Landon chipped in, indirectly insulting her mother.“How dare you insult

Chapter 90. The Chaotic West Family
August walked into the room that seemed as quiet as a graveyard. It was the exotic living room of the Wests. They were among the wealthy people in the country, more like among the second tier when it comes to ranking from top to bottom. But theirs was the best of the second tier. They were not to be trifled with at all. With the kind of achievements Aliya had made for the company, it had grown significantly over the last five years. Besides that, August used his secret connections with influential people he had worked with in the past to help Aliya secretly.“Babe, you’re here,” Aliya said, walking toward him the moment she noticed August standing in the doorway.August was carried away by the sight of the familiar yet unfamiliar man sitting on the single-seat couch in the middle of the room. He suddenly realized why nobody bothered to use that particular seat in the room. It was reserved for someone.Pa West. The head of the West family who had been away from the family for the past
