The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 117. START THE BEGINNING
Oliver drove through the city in silence, the hum of the car engine the only sound breaking the stillness.Elena was slumped in the passenger seat, her head resting against the seatbelt.The faint light from passing street lights illuminated her face, pale and peaceful, but Oliver couldn’t shake the tight knot of worry in his chest.He gripped the steering wheel tighter, his knuckles whitening.The events of the night replayed in his mind: Vance’s smug face, the fight, and Nero’s sudden appearance.Nero’s involvement unsettled him. He hadn’t wanted to owe anyone, least of all a man like Nero, but tonight had left him no choice.Elena stirred slightly, a soft murmur escaping her lips. Oliver glanced at her, his voice gentle.“Elena? Can you hear me?”She didn’t respond, her head merely shifting as if trying to escape a bad dream. He sighed, the tension in his shoulders refusing to ease.The city streets gave way to quieter roads as he approached his home.Oliver parked in the driveway
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 118. ALWAYS WILL
Oliver leaned back on the couch, his hands clasped together tightly as he stared at the floor.The room was quiet except for the soft ticking of the clock on the wall. Elena sat across from him, her gaze steady, waiting for him to speak.“Vance Carver,” Oliver began, his voice low, “is not just some petty criminal. He’s one of the most dangerous men in the underworld. A gambling and drug boss. Ruthless. Unforgiving. And unfortunately, he’s made me his enemy.”Elena frowned, leaning forward slightly.“Why? What happened?”Oliver exhaled sharply, dragging a hand through his hair.“A few years ago, I came across a woman named Mia. She was being sold to a prostitution ring controlled by Vance. I couldn’t just stand by and do nothing. I paid her ransom and got her out of there before they could touch her.”Elena’s eyes widened in shock.“You saved her?”“Yes,” Oliver said, his voice heavy with regret. “But Vance didn’t see it that way. To him, I humiliated him. I interfered with his busine
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 119. A LESSON IN POWER
The elegant ballroom shimmered under the light of the crystal chandeliers, and the faint hum of classical music filled the space. Oliver stood near the bar, sipping a glass of whiskey, his sharp gaze surveying the room.Despite the sophistication of the event, Oliver felt out of place. Wealth and luxury hadn’t always been part of his life, and the ghosts of his past seemed to whisper louder in moments like these.“Elena will be fine,” he told himself, glancing toward the group of businessmen where his wife was engaged in conversation.Her presence always reassured him, grounding him in this new life that sometimes felt too foreign.“Oliver Roberts,” came a smug voice from behind him, slicing through his thoughts.Oliver turned to see a tall man with slicked-back hair and a designer suit that screamed arrogance.The man smirked, a champagne flute dangling carelessly in his hand.“I’ve heard a lot about you. The rags-to-riches story. Quite the tale.”Oliver’s jaw tightened, but he kept
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPER 120. A LUCKY LOTTERY TICKET
The gentle hum of conversation filled the upscale restaurant, a place where crystal chandeliers hung like jewels, and every corner exuded wealth and prestige. Oliver sat at a table near the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the glittering city skyline. He sipped his coffee calmly, waiting for Elena to return from her call.Moments like these gave Oliver peace, the calm before the noise—until an all-too-familiar voice shattered it.“Well, well, if it isn’t Oliver Roberts.”The mocking tone sent a jolt of annoyance through Oliver’s chest. Slowly, he looked up, his sharp, calculating gaze locking onto a man standing at the edge of his table. It was Gregory Holt, an old "friend" from his rougher days. Gregory was the kind of man who basked in his wealth and privilege, wearing arrogance like a second skin.Gregory smirked, his designer suit perfectly tailored to his lean frame, a Rolex glittering on his wrist as he tucked his hands into his pockets. “I had to do a double-take when I sa
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 121. START THE WAR
Oliver sat behind his grand mahogany desk, the sharp gleam of the morning sunlight reflecting off the glass window behind him.The office was silent except for the occasional rustle of papers as Oliver flipped through the documents in front of him, his brow furrowed deeply in concentration.Numbers swirled before his eyes, each page confirming the gnawing feeling in his gut—something was terribly wrong.He paused, his fingers gripping the edge of a financial report.“This can’t be right…” he muttered under his breath, his voice low but tense.The numbers didn’t add up. The reports indicated debts—huge debts—that he had never been made aware of.Oliver’s chest tightened as he scanned the papers again. It wasn’t just a small discrepancy; the company’s financial situation looked dire—millions in loans, outstanding payments, and overdue interest. A sinking weight settled in his stomach.With a sharp motion, Oliver pressed the intercom button on his desk.“Lisa, get Marcus from the finance
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 122. OLIVER'S FIGHT FOR REDEMPTION
"Do you have any idea what you’ve done, Marcus?"Oliver’s voice boomed across the office, sharp and cutting like a whip. He stood, hands planted firmly on the edge of his desk, his intense gaze locked on the head of finance."I-I swear, Mr. Roberts, I didn’t know!"Marcus stammered, sweat beading on his forehead. He adjusted his tie nervously, his knees trembling under Oliver’s scrutiny."You didn’t know?!"Oliver repeated, his voice rising. He slammed his fist on the desk, making Marcus flinch."You’re the head of finance! It’s your job to know!""I wasn’t informed about these loans, sir. I had no idea David was behind this," Marcus pleaded.Oliver’s eyes narrowed dangerously."David? So you admit that David Hoshier is the one who orchestrated this?"Marcus swallowed hard, glancing away."I-I didn’t mean—""Answer me!" Oliver barked, his patience wearing thin."Yes!"Marcus blurted out, his voice cracking."I found traces of his involvement when I looked into the records this morning
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 123. PAY FOR EVERYTHING
"David has crossed the line," Oliver growled, his voice reverberating through the room like a thunderclap. He slammed a file onto his desk, its contents spilling out—proof of David's betrayal.Michael, standing stiffly on the other side of the desk, nodded."What’s the move, sir? Do we confront him outright or wait for the right moment?""Confrontation isn’t enough," Oliver replied coldly. He leaned back in his chair, his sharp gaze piercing through Michael. "I want to make sure he can never pull something like this again. I need you to gather more evidence—emails, financial transfers, anything that ties him to Victor Krane and those loans."Michael adjusted his tie, visibly uneasy."It won’t be easy. David’s careful, and Krane… Well, you already know the kind of man he is."Oliver smirked, though there was no humor in it."Let me worry about Krane. Your job is to bring me the ammunition I need to end David’s games."***"Mr. Roberts, you might want to see this.""What is it now?" Oli
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 124. UNDER THE CONTROL OF OLIVER ROBERTS
"David, what are you doing here?"Oliver's voice was as sharp as a blade, slicing through the tense air as he stepped into the dimly lit room where David lingered like a cornered rat.David turned abruptly, his face pale but his jaw set."Oliver, I came to talk. We need to clear the air.""Clear the air?" Oliver scoffed, his voice dripping with contempt. "After everything you’ve done? I’m surprised you even have the nerve to show your face.""Don’t act so high and mighty," David shot back, though his voice wavered. "You think you’re untouchable now because you have money and power. But we both know where you came from."Oliver stepped closer, his piercing gaze fixed on David."Yes, I know where I came from. And I also know where I’m going. Unlike you, David, I didn’t have to sell my integrity to get here."David bristled, his fists clenching at his sides."You think you’re better than me? You’re nothing but a glorified charity case who lucked into Mr. Hoshier’s favor."Oliver’s lips c

CHAPTER 165. DANGEROUS MAN
Oliver watched Katherine’s retreating figure disappear into the crowd, her sharp heels clicking against the polished floor. He took a deep breath, attempting to shake off the weight of the evening’s events. The room had settled somewhat, the murmurs fading as the audience dispersed. However, Oliver knew this was just the beginning. The tangled web of sabotage surrounding Hoshier required more than a single confrontation to untangle.James approached him, his clipboard tucked under his arm. “Sir, I’ve sent Adrian and Nathan into one of the meeting rooms. They’re compiling their statements now. I’ll oversee everything to ensure there’s no manipulation.”Oliver nodded, his expression grim. “Good. I want every detail documented. When they’re done, forward copies to legal. They’ll know how to proceed.”James hesitated for a moment. “There’s something else. One of our security staff found an envelope addressed to you. It was left on the receptionist’s desk shortly before the commotion began

CHAPTER 164. THE STORM BENEATH THE SURFACE
Oliver sat back in his chair, the din of the lounge fading as his mind worked over the details of what had just unfolded. James returned, his expression unreadable as he approached Oliver with an update."Adrian and Nathan have begun providing the information we need," James reported, placing his tablet on the table. "They’re scared enough to spill everything."Oliver gave a curt nod. "Good. Keep pressing them until we have every piece of evidence against Evelyn and anyone else involved."James hesitated, glancing around the room before leaning closer. "There’s more, sir. Katherine hinted at deeper connections between Evelyn and some key players in Zenith Group. She suspects this sabotage wasn’t just a whim but part of a larger plan."Oliver frowned, his gaze sharp. "Zenith Group? That means Jack Knight might be indirectly involved—or worse, directly."James nodded. "It’s possible. But Katherine seems loyal to you, and her warnings feel genuine. She wouldn’t jeopardize her position wi

CHAPTER 163. THE COST OF DECEIT
The air in the lounge grew stiflingly tense, the weight of Oliver’s revelation sinking into every corner. Adrian, still reeling from the shock, opened his mouth to speak but found no words. His once-confident smirk had vanished, replaced with a pale mask of fear. Nathan, ever the opportunist, tried to regain composure, but his nervous shifting betrayed him.Oliver’s steady gaze swept over the group, lingering just long enough to unsettle each of them. Then, with an air of calm authority, he gestured for James to approach."James," Oliver said, his voice slicing through the silence. "Show me the evidence."James handed Oliver a sleek tablet, his expression resolute. "We’ve secured video footage and documentation proving that certain individuals in this room have been engaging in activities to undermine Hoshier Company’s reputation."Gasps rippled through the crowd. Adrian stiffened, sweat forming on his brow. Nathan raised an eyebrow, feigning indifference but clearly rattled.Oliver t

The Unveiling Of Power
The night air in Oliver’s penthouse was heavy with anticipation. The message from Evelyn had left a lingering tension that no amount of strategy could entirely dispel. Lucas and James had gone back to their respective tasks, leaving Oliver alone with his thoughts. He leaned against the balcony railing, looking down at the sprawling city below, his mind racing through possibilities.Suddenly, his phone buzzed again. Another message.{Enjoy your view while you still can.}Oliver’s jaw clenched. This was more than just psychological warfare; Evelyn was baiting him, daring him to react. He returned to the living room, dialing Lucas."Lucas, change of plans," Oliver said curtly. "I want you to focus all efforts on tracing Evelyn’s messages. They’re coming too frequently for her to be hiding her location effectively."Lucas sighed on the other end. "We’re already working on it, but she’s good, Oliver. Whoever she’s hired to mask her communications knows their stuff. It’s going to take time.

CHAPTER 161. TICK TOCK!
The tension in Oliver’s office was a thick, almost tangible thing. Lucas had taken a seat in the corner, reviewing security logs on a laptop James had handed him. James himself was working tirelessly, tapping away on his own device, coordinating with the IT team to bolster the system’s defenses. Oliver stood by the window, staring out at the city skyline, his mind racing.Another buzz from his phone snapped him out of his thoughts. It was yet another message."Tick tock, Roberts. Time’s running out."Oliver turned to Lucas, holding up the screen. "She’s toying with us. What does she gain by sending these messages?"Lucas barely glanced up from the laptop. "Control. She’s letting you know she’s always one step ahead. It’s psychological warfare, designed to rattle you."Oliver smirked. "She’ll have to do better than that."James sighed, rubbing his temple. "I wish I had your confidence. Right now, we’re playing defense, and she knows it. If we don’t move quickly, she’ll gain the upper h

CHAPTER 160. THE FIRST MOVE IN A DEADLY GAME
Oliver leaned back in the seat of his car, the city lights casting fleeting shadows over his face. His mind churned, replaying every word Evelyn had said, her veiled threats, and the smug confidence she radiated. He wasn’t sure yet who she worked for, but one thing was clear—this wasn’t over.James broke the silence. "Sir, Evelyn's operation feels bigger than it looks. The layers of shell companies, her arrogance... She’s either incredibly well-backed or she’s bluffing to throw us off."Oliver rubbed his temples, feeling the weight of the situation settle on his shoulders. "Either way, we can’t ignore her. Have you started pulling the background on Evelyn? I want to know everything: her connections, finances, past involvements."James nodded. "Already on it. My team is tracing every thread. It’ll take time, but we’ll uncover her network."Oliver’s phone buzzed again, drawing his attention. Another message."You’re persistent, Roberts. Let’s see how far that gets you."Oliver stared at

CHAPTER 159. THE BAIT IS TAKEN
As Oliver stepped out of the café, the wind hit his face, sharp and cool against his skin. The echo of laughter and jeering inside still clung to him, but he forced himself to push it aside. His phone buzzed again, the glow of the screen revealing another message.{You're out of your depth, Roberts. Walk away while you still can.}Oliver clenched his jaw, the muscles in his face tightening. Whoever was behind this wasn’t just intent on humiliating him; they wanted to break him entirely. But if there was one thing Oliver had learned in his years of hardship, it was endurance.His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps. Turning, he saw James approaching, his expression a mix of worry and urgency."Sir, I got here as soon as I could," James said, slightly out of breath. "I tracked the location of the messages. They’re being routed through multiple servers, but the origin seems to be close by."Oliver raised an eyebrow. "Close by? How close?"James pointed toward the

CHAPTER 158. THE GAME WAS ON
Oliver stared at the message glowing on his phone screen, his jaw tightening as he read the taunting words."Well played, Oliver. But this is far from over."The sender was anonymous, and the lack of context only heightened his sense of urgency. It wasn’t just a threat—it was a promise.He immediately forwarded the message to James with a quick note: "Trace this now."Within moments, his phone rang."Sir, the message’s encryption is advanced," James informed him. "I’ve got our best team working on it, but this might take some time.""Time is a luxury we don’t have," Oliver replied curtly. "Double the manpower if needed. I want answers by the end of the day."Oliver ended the call and leaned back in his chair, his mind racing.Someone wasn’t just targeting Hoshier; they were targeting him personally. Whoever this was, they weren’t going to stop at a failed mole like Simon Prescott.Later that afternoon, Oliver decided to clear his head by visiting a nearby café. It was one of the few p

CHAPTE 157. FAR FROM OVER
Oliver's mind was a flurry of calculations as he left the plaza, his steps purposeful and determined. The air around him buzzed with tension, but his demeanor remained composed, his face a calm mask of control. By the time he reached his sleek black car parked nearby, he had already begun mentally assembling the pieces of the unfolding puzzle.Sliding into the driver's seat, Oliver dialed James again, this time for clarification. The line barely rang before James answered, his tone filled with urgency. "Sir, I've got more information.""Go ahead," Oliver said, leaning back in his seat, his voice steady."The breach originated from someone within Hoshier," James explained. "We’re narrowing down suspects, but whoever it is, they’ve masked their trail well. It’s someone with high-level access or someone who’s been granted temporary permissions."Oliver frowned, his fingers tapping lightly against the steering wheel. "Temporary permissions? Who’s had access recently?"James paused before
