The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 149. OLIVER'S UNYIELDING FIGHT
Oliver's focus sharpened in the aftermath of the crisis. He knew the battle against Richard Vaughn and Vanguard Enterprises was far from over, even though the immediate threat had been neutralized.Vaughn would not retreat quietly, and Oliver wasn’t one to leave loose ends. He called James into his office again to discuss the next steps."James," Oliver began, his tone deliberate, "I want a full audit of every division in this company. If Vaughn had leverage here, there’s no guarantee he didn’t attempt the same elsewhere."James nodded, already jotting down notes. "Understood, sir. I’ll coordinate with Evelyn and ensure every department is scrutinized."Oliver stood, pacing slowly. "Also, prepare for a meeting with our legal team. Vaughn may try to spin the narrative against us. I want us ready to counter any move he makes.""It will be done," James replied, a hint of admiration in his voice. "Your decisiveness is what keeps Hoshier thriving, sir."Oliver didn’t respond immediately, h
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTE 150. THE WARNING
Oliver leaned back in his chair, the calm after Adrian Holt's defeat settling over him like a fragile truce. Yet, in the business world, peace was rarely more than an illusion.As James and Evelyn left his office to handle the fallout, Oliver allowed himself a moment of reflection. The triumph over Holt had reinforced his resolve, but it also reminded him of the constant vigilance required to protect Hoshier’s empire.His thoughts were interrupted by the buzzing of his phone. The screen displayed an unfamiliar number, and he hesitated before answering."This is Oliver Roberts," he said, his tone professional but guarded.A woman’s voice responded, sharp and urgent. "Mr. Roberts, my name is Claire Donovan. I’m an investigative journalist. I believe we have a mutual interest in Adrian Holt."Oliver’s grip on the phone tightened. "I assume this isn’t a social call. What do you want, Ms. Donovan?""To warn you," she replied, her voice lowering. "Holt’s fall wasn’t just his doing. There’s
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 151. PLAYING WITH MONEY
Oliver sat back in his chair, the finality of his Masonry over Mason Phillips settling over him like a heavy, silent storm. The threat was neutralized, for now. But as always, the game wasn’t over. It never was.His gaze wandered to the framed photo of his family on his desk—a reminder of everything he had built, everything he had lost. Katie’s departure had left a wound that never fully healed, a pain he had buried beneath layers of ambition and success. The thought of her, and the way things had ended, still gnawed at him. But he couldn’t afford to dwell on the past. Not when there were more enemies, more schemes, and more pieces to move on the board.The sound of a soft knock broke his thoughts. It was Evelyn, her usual calm demeanor replaced by an edge of concern."Oliver," she began, entering without waiting for permission, "there's something you need to see."She placed a file on his desk, and Oliver could immediately sense the gravity in her tone. Without a word, he opened it,
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 152. REVENGE?
James sat across from Oliver, his eyes scanning the latest reports on the screen, but his mind was elsewhere. He had known Oliver for years—long enough to recognize the subtle shifts in his demeanor. Tonight, Oliver was different. The tension in the room was palpable, and James could feel the weight of the new threat bearing down on them."Anything new?" Oliver’s voice broke through his thoughts, low and calculating, as he tapped a pen rhythmically against the table.James shook his head. "Thorne’s network is like a spiderweb, sir. Every time we follow a thread, it leads to another dead end." He paused, his fingers running over the screen. "But one thing’s clear. Thorne’s not just some investor trying to make a quick buck. He’s targeting your entire empire. Not just Hoshier, but everything."Oliver’s gaze never wavered as he stared at the screen, his eyes narrowing. "He thinks he can destroy it all, doesn’t he?"James nodded, his expression tense. "That’s what it looks like. Every mov
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 153. REBUILD STRONGER
The sun barely broke through the thick curtains of Oliver’s office when James barged in, phone clutched tightly in his hand. His usual calm demeanor was gone, replaced by an urgency that immediately set Oliver on edge."Thorne’s making his move," James said, placing his phone on the desk and pulling up an email. "He’s called for a major board meeting with Lynwood Tech, one of your key suppliers. He’s planning to sway them to terminate their partnership with Hoshier."Oliver’s jaw clenched. "When?""Tomorrow morning," James replied. "If Lynwood walks, it’ll cause a domino effect. Your other suppliers might follow, and your production lines will come to a halt."Oliver stood, pacing the room. "Do we have proof? Anything concrete to link him to this?"James nodded. "Claire came through. She found a paper trail of shell companies connected to Thorne. They’ve been funding Lynwood’s recent expansion projects. It’s enough to raise suspicions, but we need something undeniable to turn the tide
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 154. DELUSIONAL FOOL
Oliver entered the grand lobby of the city's most opulent shopping mall, his polished shoes tapping against the gleaming marble floor. The space was illuminated by an enormous crystal chandelier, and the air was perfumed with an aroma of wealth and exclusivity. He looked around, his calm demeanor masking the storm that was brewing.Near the luxury boutique, a group of customers stood chatting loudly, their laughter echoing through the hall. One of them, a man in his late forties with a sleek suit and a condescending smirk, turned his gaze to Oliver. His eyes scanned Oliver’s modest attire—a simple blazer and slacks."What’s this?" the man sneered, pointing at Oliver as if he were a stray animal. "Who let a beggar in here? This place is for people who can actually afford something, not for someone looking for scraps."The group around him laughed, their chuckles cutting through the air like daggers.Oliver stopped in his tracks and turned toward the man. "Good afternoon," he said polit
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 155. GRAVE MISTAKE
Oliver took a deep breath as he stepped out of the mall, letting the tension slide off his shoulders. The sun was shining, the weather was pleasant, and the whispers and chuckles of the bystanders behind him felt like background noise.Yet, he couldn’t leave without having the last word. Turning back, Oliver smiled at Vincent and his entourage, now gathered by the door, still chuckling and exchanging jabs."Mr. Carlisle," Oliver called out, his voice as calm as ever. "Thank you for the free show. I’ll be sure to recommend your impeccable hospitality to all my friends."Vincent smirked, leaning against the doorframe. "Friends? Oh, please. What friends could someone like you possibly have? The rats in the alley?"The group burst into laughter, one of the women holding her stomach as if the joke was too much to bear. Oliver simply raised an eyebrow, his lips curving into a faint smile."You’re right," Oliver replied with mock sincerity. "My friends are humble folk—rats, pigeons, the occa
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 156. MASK OF HORROR
The crowd's murmurs grew louder, with people exchanging shocked glances as Emily Knight's revelation sank in. Logan's once-confident smirk dissolved into a mask of horror, and Vincent looked like he wanted to disappear into the floor.Oliver’s calm demeanor never wavered as he turned to Emily, offering her a polite smile. "Ms. Knight, I appreciate your kind words, but let’s not make this bigger than it needs to be."Emily crossed her arms, her piercing gaze shifting to Logan and Vincent. "Bigger than it needs to be? Mr. Roberts, these men insulted you publicly, dragged your name through the mud, and humiliated you without cause. I believe they owe you more than just an apology."Vincent stammered, his voice trembling. "I-I didn’t know who he was! If I’d known—""Ah," Oliver interrupted, holding up a hand. "So, your behavior depends on who someone is? Tell me, Vincent, if I were just an average man, would that make your actions acceptable?"Vincent’s mouth opened and closed like a fish

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
