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
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts 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
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 1. THE PAINFUL FREEDOM
The sunlight felt foreign to Oliver as he stepped out of the prison gates. After a year of confinement, freedom felt like a breath of fresh air that he had never felt before.However, at the end of the road, Mark, his best friend who had come to pick him up, looked uncharacteristic. His face was pale, and his expression serious.Oliver smiled slightly, trying to lighten the dark mood. "Mark, you look like you just got out of prison, not me," Oliver joked, "Am I that terrifying?"Mark forced a smile, but there was none of his usual cheerfulness. Oliver started feeling curious."Well, where are my parents? And Katie? Why aren't they coming to pick me up?" Oliver asked casually, slightly perturbed by the absence of both his parents and his girlfriend.Mark was silent for a moment, looking hesitant. Oliver's eyes narrowed. Something was wrong.Then, Mark let out a long breath before finally opening his mouth. "Oliver... your father is dying."Oliver couldn’t believe what he just heard. Th
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 2. I AM OLIVER ROBERTS
“What? Why? What happened?” Oliver asked, his eyes widening in surprise.Mark told him, "Oliver, actually, after you went to prison, your lover left without a word. She abandoned your parents even after the sacrifices you made for her."All this time, he thought that his girlfriend was looking after his parents while he was in prison. But he didn't expect that she would actually run away from his family.Oliver fell to the floor feeling devastated. He was sad, disappointed, and felt guilty about everything that had happened.And all of this is his fault. If I did he wouldn't defend his girlfriend, who he thought was a good woman. After all the chaos that happened, his lover actually betrayed him.“Now you know what happened to us, right?” his mother asked.Her husband was dying of heart disease. There is no solution for them to cure them because of the lack of money they have.“I'm sorry, Mom… I'm sorry… I didn't know if things would turn out like this." Oliver sobbed as he cried in h
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 3. LAZARUS AND SECRET POWER
As the gangsters fled, Oliver stood in silence, his breath still heavy from the confrontation.The victory over the thugs gave him no satisfaction; it only brought back painful memories he had tried so hard to suppress."How could Kate do all that to me after the sacrifices I made," Oliver whispered with his hands clenched into fists.Oliver looked down at his father lying weakly on the bed, his breathing labored and his face pale.His heart broke seeing the condition of the man who had raised him so lovingly. Guilt continued to haunt his mind; this suffering was because of him.It seemed like he was too blinded by love. He risked his life for the woman he thought would always be there for him no matter what, but the truth is...While he was in prison, Kate left without a word and abandoned his family.Oliver was inflamed by great disappointment. "I have to see her and ask her for an explanation in person. But before that, I need to heal my mom and dad." His father was dying, and Oli
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 4. THE HOSHIER FAMILY
The posh car knocked over the streetlight, sending it toppling eastward. Fortunately, Oliver easily dodged the speeding danger."Sir! Are you okay?!" a shout made Oliver immediately turn his head towards the car.A woman got out of the car that had hit him and ran frightened towards him."Sorry about that, but I’m in a hurry because I have to take my Daddy to the hospital right away." She finished and quickly turned back to check on her own father in the car."It's not a big deal." Oliver replied."Once again, I apologize. I have to leave soon, so... would you like to take the money now to settle this accident out of court? I hope you understand my situation."She shoved a wad of cash into his hand, turned around and dialed the ambulance numberHearing her words, Oliver took a quick glance at the old man sitting in the front seat breathing heavily.“There is no need to call an ambulance anymore, your father is going to die soon.” Oliver calmly stated.Elena froze at Oliver's words. “W
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 5. HIS PROMISE
Mr. Hoshier suddenly fell to his knees, startling everyone.Elena looked at his father, the omnipotent, towering head of the Hoshier family, in amazement, being so respectful in front of a young brat.“Dad, get up! Why are you suddenly on your knees?” Elena anxiously tried to help her father up.Mr. Hoshier pushed aside his daughter's hand, “Back off!” He looks up at Oliver in fear.“Please forgive me for being more disrespectful just now and not recognizing that it was you, Mr. Oliver.” Mr. Hoshier admitted his mistake in fear, “I am honored to have you save my life, the Phoenix Tears Leaf you need will be delivered to your house later, please forgive us for our disrespect just now.”What did this necklace mean? It could make the head of the huge Hoshier family grovel!Oliver waved his hand lightly, “Get up.” then continued. "I have to go now..."Elena watched Oliver's anxious figure as he hurried away, then helped her father to his feet, looking at him with confusion.Mr. Hoshier pa

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

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

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

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,

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

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
