last update Last Updated: 2025-01-09 15:05:00

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

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.

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 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

    “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

    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 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

    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

    "Fucking bastard! Get out of the house!" the gang leader shouted at the door of Oliver's rundown apartment building. He brought half of his men with him, beating Oliver to death in revenge for what Oliver had done to him. They had been humiliated earlier and Oliver's arrogant attitude hurt young master Rudolph's pride.The neighbors who heard the commotion began to gather around with an air of fear. They didn't dare come closer or complain about how noisy the gangsters were shouting at Oliver's house. The kick after kick, punch after punch they delivered with the baseball bats they held made everyone shudder in horror.“Come on, Fucking Bastard! Get out right now or we'll come in and destroy the entire house and its contents!" He cursed again with a more gruesome threat. "Your life will be over today!"Laughter boomed out, mocking how cowardly Oliver was for not coming out. The cheers were even louder when the creaking sound of the door being opened, Oliver came out with his friend wh

    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

    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

    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

    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 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
