REVENGE OF THE VAGABOND CHAPTER 151
Carter had always known that his step-brother Oliver had a knack for business, but he had never imagined that his temporary takeover of the company would result in so many changes that he found himself struggling to keep up with them all. As he sat in the boardroom, listening to the updates that his office had put together in his absence, he found himself growing increasingly agitated."And what about the profit margins?" he demanded. "How has the company taken a hit since I left?"There was an uncomfortable silence around the table as his employees exchanged nervous glances. Finally, one of them spoke up. "Well, sir, the numbers suggest that we've actually seen an increase in our profits since Mr. Oliver took charge, albeit a modest one."Carter scoffed. "Modest? I suppose when you're used to seeing your profits skyrocketing, anything less than that feels like a disappointment. But let's talk about the real issue at hand here. You all know why I had to step away from the company for

Oliver sat in his office, staring at the screen in front of him. He had been working on this project for hours, tinkering with lines of code and testing different configurations. He was a computer architect, one of the top designers in the company, and he took his work very seriously.But as he worked, his mind kept wandering to other things. Specifically, the fact that his stepbrother Carter had just taken back control of the company. Carter had been the original CEO, but he had resigned a few years ago and handed over the reins to someone else. Now, he was back, and Oliver couldn't help but feel uneasy about it.He knew that Carter was a smart and capable businessman, and he respected him for that. But he also knew that Carter could be ruthless when it came to making tough decisions. Oliver had seen it before, and he didn't like the way some of the employees were treated under his policies.As he mulled over these thoughts, his phone rang. It was his colleague, Sarah."Hey Oliver, h

Carter sat in his office, scrolling through his phone as he waited for his call to connect. After a few seconds, the familiar face of Oliver Sullivan appeared on the screen."Oliver, it's good to see you," Carter said as he warmly greeted his stepbrother."What can I help you with today, Carter?" Oliver asked in a professional tone."I want to talk about the issues we're facing in the company," Carter replied, his voice serious."I'm listening," Oliver responded, crossing his arms.Carter leaned back in his chair, taking a deep breath before launching into his concerns. "I feel like the workers don't respect me as much as they do you. Even though I'm the CEO, they still act like you're in charge."Oliver raised an eyebrow in surprise. "I'm sorry you feel that way, Carter. But it's not something I can control. Maybe you should focus on earning their respect by showing them what you're capable of."Carter shook his head, feeling frustrated. "But I've already made some big changes to the

Oliver walked back to his desk, trying to shake off the feeling of discomfort that had settled in his stomach since his encounter with Carter. He had always dreaded being put in a position where he had to deal with his step-brother, and today's meeting had only made matters worse. As he settled into his seat, he felt a tap on his shoulder."Hey, Oliver," Dave said. "What was that all about? Why did Carter call you into his office?"Oliver sighed. He didn't want to talk about it, but he knew Dave wouldn't let it go."It's something personal between me and Carter," he said, trying to keep his voice neutral.Dave raised an eyebrow. "Personal? What do you mean? Did you guys have a fight or something?""No, no, it's nothing like that," Oliver said, hoping Dave would drop the subject.But Dave wasn't one to give up easily. "Come on, man, you can tell me. We're friends, right? And besides, there's nothing going on here that isn't already known to us all."Oliver sighed again, realizing he wa

Oliver had been swamped with work for the past week, and he barely had time to check up on his fiance, Samantha. He knew he had to make it up to her somehow, especially after they had to cancel their dinner date the last time because of his busy schedule.He picked up his phone and dialed Samantha's number. On the second ring, she answered."Hey, Sam. How are you feeling? I know we had to cancel our last date, but I was hoping we could reschedule," Oliver said."I'm not feeling too well, Ollie. I've been feeling weak and nauseous all day," Samantha replied. Her voice was laced with concern."Oh no. I had no idea, Sam. Are you okay?" Oliver asked, his worry reflecting in his voice."I'm trying to rest and drink lots of fluids, but I could use some company," Samantha said, her voice barely above a whisper. "Can you come over and keep me company, please?""Of course, Sam. I'm on my way," Oliver said. He quickly grabbed his keys and left his office.Driving to Samantha's house, Oliver's m

Oliver and Carter stood outside the back of the computer technology building, watching the flames spread rapidly. The heat was intense, and the smell of smoke filled the air. Firefighters were already on the scene, spraying water and trying to contain the blaze."What a mess," Carter said, shaking his head as he surveyed the damage."Looks like someone really wanted to make a statement," Oliver replied, his eyes fixed on the raging inferno."I have a feeling I know who's behind this," Carter said ominously.Oliver raised an eyebrow. "Oh really? Do you care to elaborate?"Carter let out a deep sigh. "It's our biggest competitor. They've been trying to edge us out of the market for months now. I wouldn't be surprised if they were responsible for this."Oliver frowned. "Do you have any proof?"Carter shook his head. "Not yet, but I'm sure we'll find something. Maybe we can retrieve some security footage or something.""Yeah, that's a good idea," Oliver said, nodding. "We can review the f

Oliver sat in the spacious living room of his family's mansion, his eyes glued to the news on the large screen TV. His stepbrother Carter sat beside him, watching in silence as the newscaster reported on the recent fire at their family-owned computer technology building."Thank God the building wasn't completely destroyed," Oliver muttered, relief evident in his voice. "We can't afford to lose all that equipment and data."Carter nodded in agreement. "Yeah, it's a good thing the firefighters were able to contain the fire. Otherwise, we would've been in deep trouble."Their father, a successful tech entrepreneur, entered the room and joined them in watching the news. He listened intently to the newscaster's report, a furrow forming between his brows."I can't believe this happened," he said, shaking his head. "We've invested so much time and money into that building. It's a shame that it was damaged."Oliver and Carter both shot him a sympathetic look. They knew how much their father h

Oliver took a deep breath as he stepped into the familiar building, the sound of his shoes clicking against the marble floor echoing through the empty lobby. It was his first day back at the computer technology company since the fire incident had occurred, and while he was grateful to be getting back to work, he knew it wouldn’t be easy confronting the memories of that day.As he rode the elevator up to his floor, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of apprehension. What would it be like working in a place that had been so dramatically affected by a crime?The atmosphere in the office was tense, as coworkers whispered among themselves and shot each other furtive glances. It seemed like everyone was on edge, as if they were just waiting for something else to go wrong.Oliver tried to keep his focus on his work, but it was difficult with the intense energy in the air. He wondered who could have caused the fire, and why someone would want to hurt the company he had dedicated so many years

Jack said, standing next to Oliver and gazing out at the sea."Yeah," Oliver replied, nodding his head.

He had been watching it over and over again for hours, trying to figure out if he recognized the person who had tried to burn down their building.Carter, his stepbrother, walked into the room and sat down next to him. "Anything new?" he asked.Oliver shook his head. "I've watched this thing a million times and I still can't make out his face.

"We've already asked everyone in the building. No one saw anything."Carter crossed his arms. "Well, we can't just give up. Our home was almost burned down.
