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
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 131. CASSANDRA LEIGHTON
"Get your hands off me!" the sharp voice of a woman echoed through Oliver’s office as the door slammed open.Oliver glanced up from his desk, unfazed, as his assistant tried to stop the intruder. The woman strode in with confidence, her heels clicking against the marble floor. She was tall, with piercing blue eyes and an air of defiance that demanded attention.“Who are you, and why are you in my office?” Oliver’s voice was calm but laced with authority.“I’m Cassandra Leighton,” she announced, folding her arms. “You’ve just destroyed my brother, Marcus, and I’m here to discuss how we’re going to fix this.”Oliver smirked, leaning back in his chair. “Fix? That’s an interesting choice of words. I wasn’t aware that holding someone accountable for their actions required a repair plan.”Cassandra stepped closer, ignoring the tension in the room. “You’ve made your point, Mr. Roberts. Marcus overstepped, but you didn’t just teach him a lesson—you obliterated him. His career is in shambles,
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 132. ENJOY THE WINE
Elena sat at a corner table in the elegant restaurant, the soft hum of conversation and clinking glasses creating a lively yet intimate atmosphere. She had come to honor the invitation of Abby Thompson, her old college acquaintance, who was celebrating her upcoming wedding with a pre-wedding dinner. Although they had never been close, Elena felt it was polite to attend.Abby was at the center of the room, radiant and commanding attention with her laughter and charm. Elena, on the other hand, quietly sipped her drink, observing the women around her as they chatted animatedly about their successful partners. The conversations were filled with boasts about husbands and fiancés who were CEOs, heirs to family fortunes, or owners of luxurious properties.“Oh, Elena,” Abby’s voice cut through the chatter, dripping with faux sweetness as she addressed her. “You’ve been so quiet. Tell us, how’s your husband? What does he do?”All eyes turned to Elena. She set her glass down carefully, feeling
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 133. THE SENSE OF ENVY
“It sucks,” Abby muttered under her breath, her face a mask of barely concealed rage. She didn’t accept what had just happened—the audacity of Elena, her so-called college acquaintance, to upstage her at her own event with that extravagant gesture from her husband, Oliver. The expensive wine, a brand Abby could only dream of indulging in, felt like an affront to her dignity.Abby pulled out her phone, her fingers trembling with indignation, and dialed her fiancé, Carter Malone. He answered almost immediately.“Carter, get here now,” she hissed into the phone, her voice sharp enough to cut glass.“Abby? What’s wrong?” Carter’s deep voice responded with concern.“Just come! I can’t explain everything over the phone, but I need you here. Now.”Minutes later, Carter arrived at the restaurant, his tailored suit and confident demeanor drawing all eyes. He approached Abby, who stood near the table with her arms crossed, radiating indignation.“What’s going on?” Carter asked, placing a steady
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 134. BACKFIRED SPECTACULARLY
Not long after, Oliver arrived at the restaurant. Heads turned as he walked in, his confident stride drawing attention despite his simple, non-designer suit. His tall, sturdy frame and strikingly handsome features caused murmurs to ripple through the crowd.“Who’s that?” whispered one of Abby’s friends, nudging her companion.“That’s Oliver Roberts, Elena’s husband,” another replied, her tone laced with curiosity. “He’s good-looking, but… you know, he’s from a poor family. And wasn’t he in prison before?”“Such a waste,” someone else muttered. “With a face like that, he could’ve done better if he were born rich.”The whispers grew louder, but Oliver paid them no mind as he approached Elena.“Elena,” he greeted, his voice warm and steady.Elena’s eyes lit up, though a hint of worry lingered in her expression. She stood to greet him, wrapping her arms around his shoulders. “Oliver, you shouldn’t have come. You must have left work for this.”“It’s nothing,” Oliver replied, gently resting
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 135. INTENSE
A storm brewed within Elena as she lay awake that night, her mind replaying the evening's events. The audacity of Abby and Brandon lingered like a bitter taste. But more than that, Oliver’s quiet yet resolute support left her grappling with emotions she couldn’t quite name.The next morning, sunlight streamed through the curtains, rousing her from her restless thoughts. She stretched, her gaze falling on Oliver, already dressed and preparing coffee in the kitchen. The simple act filled her with warmth, a contrast to the chill of Abby's taunts."Good morning," Oliver greeted with his usual smile as she approached.Elena returned his smile weakly. "Good morning."Oliver studied her, concern flickering in his eyes. "Still thinking about last night?"She nodded, wrapping her hands around the warm mug he handed her. "I can't help it. Abby’s words—her intentions—were cruel. And I felt so… small in that moment.""You’re anything but small, Elena." His voice was steady, a quiet anchor against
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 136. SHOWING WHO'S IN POWER
Abby’s wedding party was as grand as one would expect. Crystal chandeliers bathed the hall in golden light, and tables adorned with lavish floral arrangements created an air of luxury. The crowd buzzed with conversations and laughter, but not all attendees were enjoying themselves.Oliver and Elena arrived hand in hand, their composed demeanor masking the apprehension they felt. From the moment they stepped into the venue, the tension was palpable. The glances thrown their way were not of welcome but disdain, orchestrated by Abby herself.“Elena, Oliver,” Abby’s voice rang out as she approached, a saccharine smile plastered across her face. Her wedding gown glittered with an ostentation that matched her attitude. “I’m so glad you could make it. I wasn’t sure if this sort of event was… suitable for you.”Oliver’s jaw tightened, but he managed a polite smile. “Thank you for the invitation, Abby. It’s a lovely venue.”Abby’s eyes flicked to Elena, her smile sharpening. “Oh, Elena, your d

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
