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
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 125. NEW ENEMY
"Mr. Roberts, we have a problem," Samantha, Oliver's personal assistant, said as she burst into his office without knocking.Oliver looked up from the stack of documents he was reviewing, his expression stern."Samantha, calm down. What’s the issue?""There’s a group of shareholders in the conference room demanding an immediate meeting with you. They’re claiming mismanagement and threatening to withdraw their investments," Samantha explained, her voice trembling slightly.Oliver’s eyes narrowed."Who’s leading this circus?""Mr. Gerald Kramer," Samantha replied hesitantly.Oliver leaned back in his chair, his jaw tightening. Gerald Kramer was a known troublemaker—a seasoned shareholder with a penchant for stirring conflict whenever it suited him."Tell them I’ll be there in five minutes," Oliver said firmly, standing up and straightening his suit.In the conference room, Gerald sat at the head of the table, surrounded by a small but vocal group of shareholders. He wore a smug expressi
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 126. SPEAK OF THE DEVIL
The door swung open, and Gerald marched in, his face flushed with anger."Roberts, we need to talk—now."Oliver remained seated, his calm demeanor a sharp contrast to Gerald’s agitation."By all means, talk.""You’ve crossed a line," Gerald spat, slamming a folder onto Oliver’s desk. "Do you think I wouldn’t find out about the investigation you’ve started on me?"Oliver’s lips curled into a faint smile."I don’t think so, Gerald. I know. And what you should know is that I don’t take kindly to threats or underhanded schemes.""This is a witch hunt!" Gerald shouted, his voice echoing in the spacious office.Oliver stood, his height and presence suddenly towering over Gerald."No, Gerald, this is accountability. You’ve spent years manipulating people, pulling strings, and lining your pockets at the expense of others. But your games end here."Gerald’s eyes flickered with uncertainty, but he quickly masked it with indignation."You’re bluffing. You don’t have anything on me."Oliver picke
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 127. THE WARNING
"Oliver, you actually came," Elena whispered, her hand lightly brushing his arm as they stood at the grand entrance of the gala."You insisted," Oliver replied with a faint smirk, his eyes scanning the opulent ballroom.The air buzzed with laughter, clinking glasses, and soft classical music, a stark contrast to the brewing storm in his mind."Mr. Roberts!"A booming voice called out. A portly man with a gleaming bald head and an oversized grin made his way through the crowd."It’s been far too long. You’re quite the elusive one these days.""Gregory Hawthorne," Oliver said coolly, extending a hand. "I didn’t expect to see you here.""Well, this is the event of the season," Gregory said, chuckling. "The kind of place to make connections... or rekindle old ones." His eyes flicked to Elena, a glint of mischief in them. "And who might this enchanting lady be?""My wife, Elena," Oliver said, his tone firm as his arm tightened around her waist.Gregory raised an eyebrow but quickly covered
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 128. SPIES AND DESTRUCTION
"Damien, I thought I told you to stay out of my way," Oliver's voice echoed across the quiet meeting room, sharp and unyielding.Damien Cavanaugh, seated across the polished oak table, smirked faintly. "And I thought I told you, Oliver, that business is business. Nothing personal."Oliver leaned forward, his gaze piercing. "When you target my company, you make it personal."Victoria Langford, seated beside Damien, interjected, "Perhaps you're overestimating the situation, Mr. Roberts. We're merely diversifying our portfolio.""By attempting a hostile takeover of Hoshier Corporation?" Oliver scoffed. "Spare me the corporate buzzwords. I know exactly what you’re doing."Damien chuckled. "Then you also know we’re within our rights. The market is fair game."Oliver straightened, his expression cold. "Fair game? You’ve been using illegal tactics—insider trading, bribery, intimidation of smaller shareholders. Shall I continue?"Victoria’s confident facade faltered slightly, but Damien kept
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER129. SUSPENSE IS PART OF THE SURPRISE
“Elena, you need to come with me,” Oliver said with a mysterious smile, his hand extended toward her.Elena, seated on the couch with a book in her hands, arched an eyebrow. “Come with you where? You’re being suspiciously vague.”Oliver chuckled. “Suspense is part of the surprise. Trust me, you’ll love it.”She closed her book, eyeing him skeptically. “Oliver Roberts, if this is another one of your elaborate plans to show off your power and wealth…”“It’s not about me this time,” Oliver interrupted, leaning closer. “This is for you. Now, will you come willingly, or do I have to carry you out?”Elena laughed, shaking her head. “Fine. Lead the way, Mr. Roberts. But this better not involve a boardroom or paperwork.”Fifteen minutes later, they arrived at a private garden illuminated by a thousand twinkling fairy lights. A long table adorned with flowers and candles was set at the center. Soft music played in the background, creating an atmosphere of romance.“Oliver…” Elena gasped, her h
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 130. RUTHLESS
"Who do you think you are, barging into my office like this?" Oliver’s voice was calm but edged with a menace that made the tall, broad-shouldered man in front of him falter for a split second.The man, dressed in an expensive suit with an air of entitlement, recovered quickly and smirked. "I’m Marcus Leighton. Perhaps you’ve heard of me? CEO of Leighton Enterprises."Oliver leaned back in his chair, folding his arms across his chest. "And why should that name mean anything to me?"Marcus’s smirk faltered, his arrogance dimming slightly. “I thought you’d appreciate a visit from someone who understands the value of true power and influence.”Oliver raised an eyebrow. “Get to the point, Leighton. My time is valuable, and I’m not in the mood for games.”Marcus stepped closer, placing a thick folder on Oliver’s desk. “The point is, Mr. Roberts, your time might not be as valuable as you think. I’ve been reviewing your company’s recent financial moves, and it seems you’ve been stepping into

CHAPTER 206. I LOVE YOU
The ride back was silent. Not because they had nothing to say, but because words felt unnecessary.Elena sat beside Oliver in the car, her fingers resting lightly on her lap. She wasn’t shaking, wasn’t afraid anymore—but the weight of the night still pressed against her.Oliver drove with one hand on the wheel, his other resting on the console between them. His presence alone made her feel safe.After a while, Elena exhaled. “You’re too calm.”Oliver glanced at her, smirking. “Would you rather I panic?”She huffed. “I was kidnapped, Oliver.”“I noticed.”“Held hostage.”“I was there.”“Almost had my throat slit.”Oliver’s jaw tightened just slightly. “And I handled it.”Elena turned to him, studying his profile. His sharp jawline, his unwavering expression.“You always do,” she murmured.Oliver didn’t reply, but his fingers—resting between them—twitched.Elena hesitated, then slowly reached out, linking her pinky with his.Oliver’s hand stiffened for a brief moment.Then, he turned hi
CHAPTER 205. ELENA'S KIDNAPPING.
"Mr. Roberts, we have a problem."Amelia’s voice was sharp over the phone. Oliver had just finished a business meeting when she called, and from the tension in her tone, he knew it wasn’t a minor issue.Oliver exhaled. "Speak."There was a brief pause before she dropped the bombshell."Elena’s been taken."Oliver stopped walking. His fingers tightened slightly around the phone. “Who?”Amelia hesitated. “A man named Vincent Moreau. French arms dealer. One of the last allies Harrington had left.”Oliver’s jaw clenched, but his voice remained calm. “His demands?”“He wants you to transfer fifty percent of Hoshier’s European assets to his name by midnight.”A mistake.Vincent Moreau had no idea who he was dealing with.Oliver inhaled slowly. “Where is she?”“We traced the call to a warehouse in the East District. It’s heavily guarded.”Oliver didn’t hesitate. “Send me the location.”“Sir, I can mobilize our team—”“No.” Oliver’s voice was sharp. “This is personal.”Amelia hesitated but ob
CHAPTER 204. NEVER LOST
“You lost the moment you thought you could use her against me, Calloway.”Oliver’s voice was quiet, almost casual, yet every syllable carried the weight of an undeniable truth.Raymond struggled against Oliver’s grip, but it was useless. His body trembled—not from the physical pain, but from the realization sinking into his bones. He had never stood a chance.Oliver loosened his hold just enough for Raymond to breathe, but his next words made the man’s blood run cold.“Tell me, Calloway… how do you want this to end?”Raymond swallowed, his mind racing. He had no moves left. No allies. No escape.His last shred of arrogance faltered, replaced by raw desperation. “I—I was just following Harrington’s lead. He’s the one who—”Oliver let out a quiet exhale, cutting him off with a simple, measured sentence.“Harrington is already handled.”Raymond’s eyes widened. “What?”A soft buzzing noise filled the room. Oliver reached into his pocket, pulled out his phone, and tilted the screen toward
CHAPTER 203. ERUPTED INTO CHAOS
Raymond’s hands trembled as he scrolled through the endless flood of news reports, each one spelling his doom in bold, damning headlines. His phone buzzed non-stop—calls from investors, board members, and desperate executives, all demanding answers he didn’t have.His breath came in short, sharp gasps. This wasn’t just an attack. This was an execution.His gaze snapped to Elliot Mercer, who remained seated, completely unfazed. The smirk on Elliot’s face sent a wave of rage coursing through Raymond’s veins.“You think this is funny?” Raymond’s voice was hoarse, barely above a growl. “You think I’m just going to sit here and let Oliver destroy me?”Elliot exhaled, setting his drink down with a quiet clink. He leaned back, crossing his legs leisurely. “Oh, you misunderstand, Calloway. It’s not about letting him destroy you. It’s about the fact that you can’t stop him.”Raymond slammed a fist against the bar. The few patrons around them turned to glance, sensing the tension but knowing be
CHAPTER 202. DAMAGE CONTROL
Raymond sat frozen in his chair, his hands clenched into fists as the weight of his downfall pressed down on him like a mountain. His empire, his power—everything he had built over the years had crumbled in mere minutes.His phone buzzed again, and with shaky fingers, he picked it up. A flood of messages from his board members, investors, and executives filled the screen. They were panicking. Some demanded explanations, others threatened to withdraw their support. His assistant sent a message—Mr. Calloway, we need immediate damage control. The media is asking questions.Raymond’s vision blurred as rage bubbled inside him. All because of one man.Oliver Roberts.The name now echoed in his head like a curse.Raymond had underestimated him, just like everyone else had. He had seen Oliver as nothing more than a quiet, unremarkable businessman, someone who got lucky in the corporate world. But now, he understood the truth.Oliver was far from ordinary.Raymond sucked in a sharp breath and
CHAPTER 201. AN UNMATCHED ENEMY
Raymond’s breath caught in his throat. His palms were damp, his fingers gripping the edge of his desk. Oliver Roberts was here. In his office.He barely had time to compose himself before the door swung open.Oliver walked in with the ease of a man who owned the building, despite the fact that it belonged to Raymond. He was calm, his dark eyes scanning the office without the slightest hint of urgency. He wasn’t here to negotiate. He was here to watch Raymond crumble.Raymond straightened in his chair, masking his nerves with arrogance. “Mr. Roberts,” he greeted coolly, though his voice wavered just enough to betray his unease.Oliver said nothing at first. He merely stepped closer, his gaze locking onto Raymond’s with the weight of something far more dangerous than anger—certainty.“You’ve been quite busy,” Oliver finally said, his tone casual.Raymond forced a smirk. “I like to stay informed about my competitors.”Oliver chuckled, the sound low and unimpressed. “Competitor?” He tilte
CHAPTER 200. WARNING IN PERSON
Raymond Calloway sat frozen, his fingers tightening around the black business card as if it were a ticking time bomb. His expensive watch, his custom-tailored suit—none of it mattered now. He had made the mistake of mocking a man who could wipe his company out of existence with a single decision.The café once filled with his laughter, now felt suffocatingly silent. The people who had been laughing along with him avoided eye contact. His so-called friends shifted uncomfortably, realizing they had aligned themselves with the wrong side.One of them, a man named Darren, coughed awkwardly. “Uh… Ray, man, you good?”Raymond barely heard him. His mind was spinning.Oliver Roberts.The president of Hoshier Corporation.A man who held more power in his hands than Raymond ever could.And he had insulted him. Mocked him. Treated him like some insignificant nobody.His pride burned. His fists clenched. But he wouldn’t apologize.No. He refused to bow.Raymond slammed the business card onto the
CHAPTER 199. UNDERESTIMATE THE WRONG MAN
Horizon Café was unusually crowded that evening. Oliver Roberts sat at a quiet corner table, sipping his black coffee, his fingers lazily tapping against the wooden surface. He had always preferred places like this—quiet, ordinary, unassuming. A place where no one looked twice at a man in a simple dark coat and well-fitted jeans.Unfortunately, not everyone shared his sense of discretion.A loud, arrogant laugh filled the air, followed by the clatter of an expensive watch hitting the table."Look at this," a voice sneered. "Genuine gold, straight from Italy. Have you ever seen something this fine?"Oliver didn't look up. He didn't need to. He already knew the type."Come on, tell me you’ve seen something better," the voice continued, a clear attempt to impress whoever was with him. "I bet you haven't. People like you don’t even know where to get real gold."Oliver exhaled slowly, eyes still fixed on his cup.The voice belonged to Raymond Calloway, a man whose wealth was built on inher
CHAPTER 198. SMART CHOICE
The city lights flickered against the cracked windshield as Oliver drove in silence.Elena kept glancing at him, waiting for a reaction.The attack, the car chase, the cryptic message—most men would be shaken.But Oliver Roberts wasn’t like most men.He didn’t look angry. He didn’t look worried.He looked bored.That terrified her more than anything.Finally, she broke the silence.“That was a message, wasn’t it?”Oliver exhaled through his nose. “It was a test.”Elena frowned. “A test?”Oliver nodded, gripping the steering wheel. “They wanted to see how I’d react. If I panicked. If I ran.”His fingers tapped against the dashboard.“They wanted to see if I was really the man people whisper about.”Elena swallowed. “And?”Oliver smirked. “Now they know.”***They pulled up to a private parking lot.The moment they stepped out, a man in a black suit was already waiting for them.No words were exchanged.Just a nod.Oliver returned the gesture before turning to Elena. “Go home.”Elena’s
