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
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 53. SCANDAL ERUPTS
Thomas’s scream of pain echoed as he yanked his arm free from Oliver’s grip, stumbling backward in surprise.The shocked look quickly morphed into anger, and he retaliated by pushing Oliver away with a snarl."How dare you touch me, you lowlife!" Thomas seethed, his gaze narrowing as he spat the words, venom dripping from every syllable."Thomas! Stop this nonsense!" Elena’s voice cut in, trembling with a mixture of panic and indignation.Her eyes darted between Thomas and Oliver, her heart pounding with apprehension at the intensity of the exchange.Thomas sneered, directing his frustration toward her."Oh, so now you're defending him? Are you that blind, Elena? Or has he already poisoned your mind?"Oliver’s jaw tightened, his patience wearing thin."Blind? She’s the only one here who sees things clearly. Maybe it's about time someone gave you a lesson in respect," he shot back, his voice calm but laced with defiance.Thomas’s face reddened in fury. He clenched his fists and glared
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 54. PLANS TO DESTROY OLIVER ROBERTS
"What's wrong, Elena?" asked Oliver.He observed the change in Elena's facial expression, which turned serious.Elena immediately handed her cell phone to Oliver. And at that moment, Oliver found out what surprised Elena.Some photos were taken when Oliver attacked Thomas. While in fact, it was self-defense from Oliver because Thomas had been insolent to his wife."It must have been Thomas," Elena said."It certainly was," Oliver responded.He handed Elena back her phone and rubbed her arm lightly. Elena's facial expression looked troubled.Negative news like that could affect the company."Don't worry," Oliver said, "I'll solve this problem.""But how?""I'll take care of it my way," Oliver said, his demeanor calm.Elena furrowed her brow. She didn't understand how Oliver could be that calm.Meanwhile, her mind was full of questions about what kind of person Oliver was because it seemed that whatever happened to him always had an amazing solution."I will speak to Mr. Hoshier about t
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTERR 55. MR. HOSHIER'S BIRTHDAY PARTY
The hall was elegantly decorated with chandeliers and golden drapes for Mr. Hoshier’s grand birthday celebration.Guests in evening gowns and tailored suits mingled, each carrying a glass of champagne as they chatted with their colleagues and shared laughter.Among them stood Oliver, calm and reserved, blending into the background with his quiet composure. Beside him, Elena held his arm, radiating elegance as she glanced around nervously.“Happy birthday, Father,” Elena greeted Mr. Hoshier warmly, her voice slightly tense. She glanced at Oliver, hoping tonight would go smoothly.As the evening unfolded, however, David and Thomas spotted Oliver from across the room, and sly smiles curved on their faces.They walked over drinks in hand, their steps brimming with smug confidence. Sensing their approach, Oliver gave Elena a reassuring nod, his expression composed.“Ah, look who we have here,” Thomas sneered, eyes glinting with malice as he looked Oliver up and down. “The so-called ‘son-i
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 56. FAKE DIAMONDS?
Everyone stared at Oliver, stunned by his response.Their gazes turned skeptical, a murmur of doubt passing through the crowd. Oliver Roberts, a man of humble beginnings, had just promised a blue diamond—a treasure as rare and costly as it was revered.It was hard for them to believe; after all, Oliver was practically penniless when he first joined the Hoshier family."Wow!" David sneered, his voice dripping with mockery. "Did I just hear Oliver Roberts say he has a blue diamond ready?"The laughter that followed was loud and cutting, echoing through the room. Elena, standing close to Oliver, tugged at his sleeve."Oliver," she whispered, worrying, lining her voice, "please don’t make things worse."Oliver met her gaze with a reassuring smile."I’m not making things worse, Elena. I’ve prepared what I promised."Elena looked at him, conflicted, her heart pounding with a mix of worry and hope."But…""Trust me."Oliver said quietly, his calm voice soothing her as much as it could.Her l
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 57. WINNING STREAK
"There is nothing to prove because everything Mr. Roberts said is true," a calm, authoritative voice cut through the laughter.Everyone's eyes widened as they turned toward the speaker. An older man in a tailored suit stood at the edge of the crowd, his face unreadable yet commanding respect.David's eyes narrowed, and he shot Oliver an indignant look before stepping forward to challenge the stranger."Who are you?" David sneered. "Are you this... loser's accomplice, trying to make us believe he actually bought a blue diamond?""Yes," Thomas chimed in, his face contorted with skepticism. "There’s no way a man like Oliver could afford that. It’s impossible!"The stranger met their hostility with a calm smile and reached into his pocket, producing a small, folded paper."All will be made clear once you see this." He handed the paper to Mr. Hoshier, who took it with curiosity.As Mr. Hoshier unfolded the paper, his eyes scanned the text, and his face changed from surprise to sheer admir
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 58. OLIVER'S HIDDEN ABILITY
That morning, the breakfast atmosphere was cold after Mr. Hoshier's grand birthday celebration the previous night.The night had brought unexpected news, and now, remnants of pride and resentment lingered over the dining table.Mr. Hoshier, in high spirits, praised Oliver with a warm smile."I still can’t believe we’re about to collaborate with Starst Holdings," Mr. Hoshier remarked, cutting into his toast. "An impressive feat, Oliver."Oliver offered a small, calm smile in return, saying little, as was his nature.However, David, seated across from Oliver, didn’t miss the opportunity to sneer."It’s just a contract," he scoffed, his voice laced with disdain. "Anyone with decent connections could manage that. And I’ll do much more than that, believe me."Mr. Hoshier glanced at him with an arched brow. But David wasn’t finished. He leaned forward, casting a disapproving look toward his father-in-law."You’d be making a mistake if you thought Oliver was suited to run Hoshier. A man with
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 59. CRITICAL POINT
The next day, Oliver began his first official day at Hoshier Holdings. Lunchtime arrived, and he made his way to the company cafeteria, spotting a vacant table.As he sat down, David, who had noticed Oliver’s arrival, quickly joined him, wearing a sly smile.“Well, well, Oliver.”David began, barely able to mask the condescension in his voice.“I never thought I’d see the day. The ‘ex-con’ eating lunch with us here at Hoshier Holdings.” He chuckled, leaning back with a smirk.Oliver looked at David calmly, unruffled.“Everyone deserves a fresh start, David. I believe in focusing on the present, not the past.”David’s smirk faltered slightly before he quickly recovered.“Oh, of course, of course. But you do realize this is a business we’re running, not a charity project, right?” He sneered, leaning closer. “Just don’t get too comfortable, Oliver. The world isn’t kind to… well, people like you.”Oliver took a steady breath and replied calmly.“The world might not be kind, David, but tha

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

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

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
