My Trillion Dollar System Chapter 61. Let’s Heal
Now back to memory lane, August was just ten but full of life. His parents lived with his Grandfather in their semi-detached roof house in the village where their family was seen as gods. His Grandfather, popularly known as Sir Silver, was quite famous and was always seen with August, his grandson, wherever he went. While his son and daughter-in-law worked at the city building as government workers, they were literally the only people with a white-collar job in the village and thus, were held in high esteem. Most of the people in the village relied on either farming or fishing. The village, located in the outskirts of Alaska, lacked a certain level of civilization, but everyone knew and loved each other.One fateful morning, ten-year-old August had walked into their parents' room after waking up from his room. As he climbed onto his bed and slipped into the middle of the duo, his mother, as usual, gave him a big hug and kiss on his cheek while his father rubbed his head lovingly. “Dad
My Trillion Dollar System Chapter 62. Desire vs Ambition
August stood at the front gate of the iron door, which showed some signs of rusting, as his grandfather walked in. When the old man noticed Nicholas had stopped moving, he turned around to look at him with a raised brow. “What is it now? Changed your mind? Is this place not good enough for you again?” The man asked, his tone carrying a hint of sarcasm he was trying not to show but the proud old man would pass. A few minutes ago, he had helped August up after accepting his apology. When he asked August to follow him, August wasn’t sure what to feel. They had been silent throughout the walk home, so August couldn’t really decipher what to expect. The man had accepted him. He knew his grandfather. He didn’t forgive easily like that. He would just look for an excuse to send him away again. Or maybe he was just overthinking it and the old man had truly accepted him back. But what would he think if he finds out he had come back for something? The picture of him being selfish would just appe

“What did you say?” Akash asked in a surprised tone, hoping he had heard wrong.For the past six months while working with Sharon, she has never questioned him. Never. Even though he was making mistakes, she would just take orders for him without questioning him. On his first day in the department, Brooks, Dave's secretary, had made Sharon his assistant, and after working there for a while, he found out Sharon was the head of the robotics team. He had expected some form of resistance from her, but he was shocked when she gave him her support, and sometimes he would doubt if she were true to him. But countless times, she has proved to be happy working by his side as an assistant. But today, the look in her eyes was different. Cold and indifferent as if she had been dying to show them for a long time.“I know a lot of things too, you know. So it’s better you don’t act high and mighty,” she said with a lower tone as if to cover up for her rude attitude.“I didn’t let you leave yet,” Akas
My Trillion Dollar System Chapter 64. K.O
Without much thought, Dave picked up the telephone and called Brooks. “Come to my office, now,” he commanded, then replaced the device on its stand and stood up, walking to and fro, visibly disturbed as he remembered how he had dealt with Akash. It had been hard but worth it. He had never imagined that issues would arise with him. He thought he had him wrapped around his finger. He exhaled as thoughts of all that Arizona Group had been going through crossed his mind. Arizona Media had stopped all production, angering the public. He had no choice but to withdraw. Slowly, the building blocks of Arizona Group were being destroyed, and it all boiled down to August. He sucked in a breath. That name. He hated it more than anything in the world.He licked his lower lip as a knock sounded on the door. He glanced up to see Brooks walk in.“You called for me, sir.”“I did,” Dave said, his voice tinged with impatience. “What has Akash been up to?”Brooks looked confused at first, then gave a tho
My Trillion Dollar System Chapter 65. Strike Now
“You were able to slow down the growth of the cancerous cells then, but not now?” Dave asked with an incredulous tone. “Isn’t medicine supposed to be advancing? Are you losing your touch, doctor?” Dave inquired, his tone laced with sarcasm.The doctor, eager to deflect blame, began to explain, “That’s not it, Mr. Arizona. The issue is that the medications we give her are the reason why those cancerous cells have become stronger.” He elaborated, but Dave didn’t seem to grasp the explanation, and the doctor understood from Dave’s expression.“What I’m simply trying to say is that the toxins we intentionally feed her give the immune system too much to fight against—the cancerous cells and the toxins together. It has weakened her.”Dave watched him in silence for a few minutes before letting out a chuckle. “So you’re trying to say we were inadvertently killing her?” He asked calmly.“That’s…” The doctor didn’t know how to confirm that. He was still a doctor; he had sworn an oath. All of t
My Trillion Dollar System Chapter 66. The Tweet
Brooks and the doctor were visibly shocked by Akash’s daring attitude. But Akash was least worried. In fact he prayed deep down Dave would get mad and just throw him out. And his mother? The thought struck him. And immediately he started to regret his action. “What do you mean?” He was shocked at the calm tone Dave used to question him. Dave on the other hand has already analysed it. There was no reason to get angry even though he could see how Akash was trying hard to get him. But why?Why did this man whom he has been able to keep in check effortlessly gain this kind of confidence?It took him a while to realise that Dave wasn’t mad and gather his thoughts. “What have I been doing to her?” Dave asked again with an incredulous tone when he didn’t reply, and for some reason he was foolish. “They….”He turned to the doctor who had been watching them and Akash could swear he could see a flash of fear in the man’s eyes, like a guilty defendant. Not every person knows how to put up a f
My Trillion Dollar System Chapter 67. Misinterpreted
August tried to calm his shaky hands that was as a result of happiness as he stood up, dressed in an oversized pyjamas his grandfather had given him last night to change into. The old man has asked him to spend the night before leaving. August had agreed readily. It seems his grandfather was starting to open up to him and August was going to find a way to pop the question to him. The thought of how to ask for the old man’s help had made him toss on the bed all night. He had left later when it was dawn. Dan's call had woken him or he would have slept far longer. The one call that has immediately transformed his mood. “I saw the tweet, Akash. How….”“It’s nothing.” Akash interrupted him. “What?” August asked in surprise.“I deleted it already. It was a slip of fingers.” Akash said and August couldn’t believe what he was hearing right now.“How is that even possible, Akash? You…I mean you…..”“I really did delete it.” Akash interrupted smoothly as August removed his phone from his ea
My Trillion Dollar System Chapter 68. The Goodnews
“No, Grandpa, don’t do this. It’s not even about me. Someone's life is really at stake here,” August immediately rushed to block him as the old man turned to leave. He was breathing heavily, his gaze lowered at the older man who had an expression that confused him.“Please…”“Get out of my way, August,” the man said. “I stopped medicine long ago. Since my son died.” August's shoulders fell in disappointment, his stomach sinking simultaneously. But his will to stop him still remained.“So you really did come back because you needed my help,” the old man scoffed. “Here I was thinking you truly wanted to reconcile,” he shook his head in disappointment.“I missed you, Grandpa. Believe it or not, but I truly do.”“That doesn’t matter now. The fact that you missed me or not,” he said, his eyes boring into mine. “What matters is that you can’t get what you want,” he said as he shoved August aside with his weak hand.“His mother is dying, Grandfather! He will be lost without her!” August shou

“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

“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

“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
