The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 45. SHOCKING ANNOUNCEMENT!
“You seem rather nervous, Rudolph,” Oliver said, his voice quiet but cutting, eyes narrowing as he approached the man who had tried so viciously to ruin him.Mr. Hoshier’s expression darkened as he stared at Rudolph.“Is this true, Rudolph? Did you fabricate this… to harm Oliver and my family?”Rudolph stammered, his composure crumbling under Mr. Hoshier’s scrutinizing gaze.“N-no, Mr. Hoshier, you’ve got to believe me. I wouldn’t—”“But you did,” Desmond interjected smoothly. “The recording is indeed altered to imitate Mr. Oliver’s voice, but it is not authentic.”Antonio, who had been watching with mounting unease, took a step back, trying to distance himself from the scheme."I—I didn't know! I thought it was real!"Oliver let out a quiet chuckle, his calm gaze falling on each of them. “It appears the truth reveals itself, no matter how cleverly you try to hide it.”Katie looked at Rudolph, her face paling as she saw the fury on Mr. Hoshier’s face.“Rudolph, you—you told me this wa
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 46. CHALLENGE TO THE TOP
"I disagree and will not let that happen!" shouted David Cooper, his voice sharp and indignant.All heads turned in shock. David, Mr. Hoshier's son-in-law, and husband of Jane Hoshier, stood beside his wife, both visibly seething. The room filled with tension, the festive air of the evening quickly slipping away. Mr. Hoshier, taken aback, approached them calmly."Daddy, are you crazy?!" Jane yelled, her face flushed with anger."That is my decision, Jane," Mr. Hoshier replied, his voice steady yet unyielding."No, I won’t let it happen!" she spat out.Jane’s mother had passed a few years prior, leaving Jane bitter and resentful. Since then, she had moved in with David, fueled by a fierce hatred for Elena, Mr. Hoshier’s eldest daughter from his first marriage. Jane had expected Elena’s life to be one of constant struggle after marrying Oliver, a man she considered to be below her family’s standards. Now, hearing her father’s announcement, her fury only grew.“Jane…” Mr. Hoshier started
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 47. THE PROMISE OLIVER MADE.
Starting that day, Jane and David moved into the Hoshier family mansion. And as Elena’s husband, Oliver was there too. For Oliver, it was nothing short of stepping into a lion’s den. Jane and David, Elena's stepsister and her husband, seemed to find every chance to hurl insults and mockery at him, lacing their words with venom.At the breakfast table, Oliver sat beside Elena for the first time, joining the Hoshier family meal as a son-in-law. The tension in the room was palpable."Should we really be eating at the same table as a beggar like him?" Jane sneered, glaring at Oliver with contempt.Oliver said nothing, his expression calm as he picked up his utensils. Elena, however, wasn’t as restrained. She shot a sharp glance at Jane."Watch your mouth, Jane. He is my husband."Jane scoffed, her lip curling as if she’d tasted something bitter.“A husband? For you, maybe. But for me, he’s a disgrace, an embarrassment to our family’s name.”David chuckled, leaning back in his chair as if
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 48. VIP GOLD CARD
Oliver entered the luxurious jewelry store, the soft gleam of overhead lights bouncing off display cases filled with precious stones and metals. The allure of wealth was in every detail: the polished marble floors, the elegant glass cases, and the rare gemstones shimmering within.But one piece caught his eye, a brilliant blue diamond at the far end of the room. Its deep, mesmerizing hue reminded him of the promise he had made to Mr. Hoshier, a promise he intended to keep.As he approached the counter, he recognized a familiar face. Amber, an old friend from school, was managing the showroom with a poised, sharp gaze.She hadn’t changed much—her features were still striking, though her expression now bore a hint of arrogance he hadn’t noticed before. Oliver’s heart pounded slightly as he decided to approach her, hoping their past connection might lend him a bit of luck.“Amber,” he greeted, trying for a friendly tone. “It’s been a while.”Amber glanced up from her work, her eyes widen
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 49. A TWIST OF FATE
“Sir! I apologize for my bad attitude towards you!” Mr. Giles shouted while kneeling in front of him.His voice trembled with urgency, echoing through the luxurious jewelry store. Amber, who had just seconds ago been mocking Oliver, was now frozen in shock, her mouth slightly agape as she processed the scene unfolding before her.“I am really sorry…. I didn’t know. Please forgive me!” Mr. Giles continued, his forehead almost touching the polished marble floor as he remained prostrate, refusing to raise his head.Amber felt the heat rise to her cheeks. “Mr. Giles, but he is just a poor man. I have known him since school—”“You!” Mr. Giles snapped, fury flashing in his eyes.He rose swiftly, the sound of his palm striking Amber's cheek reverberating like a gunshot in the quiet store.You bitch!” he spat, his voice low but laced with venom.Amber screamed, her hand flying to her cheek as she stumbled back in disbelief. Pain spread from his cheeks, lips, and even her heart.“Mr. Giles…”“
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 50. GET SUPPORT
Oliver took a deep breath, his eyes calm despite the two guards blocking his path."Shouldn’t you confirm whether I’m lying or not?" he asked, his voice steady. "Do you even know who I am?"The guards exchanged amused looks before laughing."Yes, we know very well!" one sneered. "You’re a beggar, trying to weasel his way in where he doesn’t belong!"Oliver’s mouth twitched into a faint smile as he shook his head."You’re going to have trouble if you keep acting like this to me," he warned. "While I’m still being nice, let me in. Don’t block my way."The other guard chuckled darkly."Let's see what kind of 'trouble' we’ll get into if we drag a swindler like you out of here!" he shouted."Exactly," the first guard chimed in. "Mr. Hoshier will probably praise us for keeping trash like you out!"Just as they moved to seize Oliver, a commanding voice cut through the air."Have you two lost your minds?!"The guards froze, the color draining from their faces as they turned to see Desmond, Mr
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 51. SELF-ESTEEM CLASH
Oliver left Mr. Hoshier’s office with a calm expression, letting the door close softly behind him. As he strode through the grand lobby, the soft hum of conversation died down. A few employees exchanged glances, their whispers growing louder.Oliver ignored the glances and kept his steady pace—until he collided with someone stepping into his path.“Look who the beggar is, pretending to be a businessman,” came a familiar, sneering voice.It was David, his gaze hard and piercing. Oliver gave him a brief glance but continued walking, not wanting to give David the satisfaction of a reaction.“Where do you think you’re going, you bastard?” David spat, gripping Oliver’s shoulder and shoving him back roughly. “I’m talking to you!”Oliver’s gaze remained steady, unperturbed. “But there’s nothing I want to talk to you about,” he said simply, his calm voice masking the hint of irritation beneath.David’s face twisted in fury, his lips curling back in a snarl.“You... you dare to act arrogant in
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 52. WATCH YOUR WORDS!
That evening, Oliver had arranged a quiet, intimate dinner by the beach for his wife, Elena. Despite the arranged nature of their marriage, he felt a sense of responsibility to make her feel valued.Since their union, he had only shown her the bare minimum of his attention. He knew she deserved more, especially given her kindness and her willingness to marry someone of his background.When they arrived, Elena’s eyes sparkled with surprise.“Did you prepare all this yourself?” she asked, glancing around the candlelit setting.Roses adorned the table, their delicate scent mingling with the salty sea air, and a bouquet lay beside her place.“Yes. I asked a friend to help, but the idea was mine,” Oliver replied, a bit sheepishly. “I… I wasn’t sure how to make you happy, so I prepared what I could manage.”“This is more than enough, Oliver,” Elena assured him, her smile soft. She picked up the bouquet, inhaling the floral aroma, and looked back at him with a playful smile. “Honestly, you’r

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 f
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
