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
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 60. OLIVER'S AMAZING HEROIC ACTION
“What happened? Why is he like that?” David’s voice rang out, sharp with panic as he pointed to the man convulsing on the cafeteria floor.The employee’s face was pale, his body rigid and shuddering violently. Murmurs rippled through the crowd as people exchanged wide-eyed looks, too shocked to act.“He… he just collapsed!” someone stammered, stepping back as the convulsions intensified.Brian, who had initially tried to administer CPR, recoiled, frightened of being blamed for the worsening condition. His face was ashen, and he edged away, his hands trembling.David, too, paled. His eyes darted between the stricken employee and Oliver, a mix of frustration and helplessness etched across his face.“I told you not to interfere,” he snapped as if trying to regain control. “Look what’s happened!”Oliver’s voice was calm, unshaken by David’s anger.“I told you his condition would get worse,” he said simply, his steady tone cutting through the chaos around them.Without waiting for permissi
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 61. GOLDEN HAND
The news of Oliver saving a man’s life spread across the media and the internet like wildfire. Headlines praised his “miraculous healing” and “golden touch.”People began talking about him with awe, captivated by the idea that someone could stabilize a critical patient without medical equipment.As he walked through the lobby of the hospital, a swarm of press and reporters quickly surrounded him, their cameras flashing and microphones thrust forward.One reporter asked, eyes wide with curiosity.“Oliver! How did you learn such an incredible healing technique?”One reporter asked, eyes wide with curiosity.“Is it true that you can heal people just with your hands?”Another shouted over the noise.“Oliver, are you considering opening a practice? People say you have a gift!”“Do you have any special training? Is this some ancient art you mastered?”The last reporter leaned forward eagerly.“How does it feel to be called a hero? People are comparing you to a miracle worker!”Oliver raised
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 62. COMEDY MASK
Mr. Hancock Beverly stepped forward, his presence enough to quiet the crowd and send a wave of disbelief over David’s smug expression.The reporters, who had been poised to soak up every word of David’s insults, turned their attention back to Oliver, their curiosity reignited.David’s face fell, his satisfaction rapidly replaced by shock and, behind it, a flicker of anger.Mr. Beverly kept his gaze firmly on Oliver, his eyes filled with something like pride."Oliver has shown more integrity, strength, and courage than most people I know. His background has nothing to do with who he is now—a man who just saved a life without a second thought."Then, turning to David, his expression hardened, and his voice took on an edge."It takes a far greater person to overcome adversity than to belittle others, don’t you think?"David opened his mouth as if to respond, but Mr. Beverly’s words weighed heavily on him. Under the intensity of that gaze, he found himself speechless, unable to summon any
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 63. RIVALRY IN THE SHADOWS
The next morning, Oliver found himself greeted with an unexpectedly tense atmosphere as he entered Starst Holdings. Employees avoided his gaze, whispering behind their hands, while others cast quick glances in his direction before looking away.It wasn’t until he reached the executive offices that he noticed a new face waiting by Mr. Beverly’s office door.The man was tall and impeccably dressed in a tailored suit, his expression sharp and calculating. His gaze was cold and assessing, his presence intimidating.As Oliver approached, the man turned his attention toward him, a thin smile curving his lips that held no warmth.“Oliver Roberts, I presume?”The man extended his hand, his grip firm and almost challenging.“Emerson King. I’ve recently joined as the head of strategic partnerships.”Oliver returned the handshake, his expression calm.“Pleased to meet you, Mr. King.”Emerson’s gaze lingered on Oliver, as though evaluating every facet of him in a matter of seconds.“Yes, I’ve hea
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 64. A RIVAL'S MOVE
"Tell me who did it!"Mr. Beverly’s voice thundered across the meeting room, his face flushed with anger.Just moments before the meeting was due to begin, Emerson King had arrived with a startling piece of news:The proposal submitted by Oliver intended for a future partnership with Starst Holdings, had been published as a project by a rival company, Atlas Forge Holdings.Emerson leaned forward, his expression serious, yet there was a glint of satisfaction in his eyes.“It's highly unlikely they’d suddenly produce an identical project with such precise detail to match Oliver's proposal. We’ve completed 90 percent of the groundwork, Mr. Beverly,” he said gravely, letting his words simmer as Beverly seethed in frustration.Mr. Beverly slammed his fist on the table."If this is true, Starst Holdings will be facing a huge loss. The preparation, resources—all for nothing!”Emerson folded his hands, his tone calm but edged with accusation.“Sir, if I may... Could it be that you think this
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 65. A BATTLE OF WILLS
In the afternoon, Oliver immediately went to Atlas Forge Holdings to investigate what had happened. Though his intuition pointed to Emerson King as the likely culprit behind the leaked proposal, he still needed to confirm his suspicions and hopefully reclaim his work.Calm and collected, he arrived at the lobby and approached the front desk, where a young receptionist glanced up at him with a barely concealed look of disdain.“Excuse me, I’m Oliver Roberts, and I’d like to see the president of Atlas Forge,” he said politely, offering her a slight nod.The receptionist took in his casual, understated appearance and raised an eyebrow. “Have you made an appointment with Mr. Eastwood?”“Not yet, but I have very important business with him. It concerns a work matter,” Oliver replied, his tone steady and respectful.“Work?” The woman’s brow furrowed skeptically. “You expect me to believe you have ‘important work’ with Mr. Vance Eastwood?”“Yes. Why?” Oliver maintained his calm.The receptio
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 66. SHADOWS OF POWER
In the midst of the tense atmosphere in the lobby of Atlas Forge Holdings, a tall figure entered the room, exuding authority with every step. Vance Eastwood, the president of Atlas Forge, had arrived, and his sharp gaze swept across the lobby, taking in the scene with a cool, practiced detachment."Waylon," he called out, his voice calm but commanding, "what seems to be the issue here?"Waylon quickly straightened up, but his disdain for Oliver remained clear as he gestured dismissively toward him."This... fraudster," he sneered, "is trying to claim he has urgent business with you, Mr. Eastwood. Something about a proposal that we supposedly 'stole' from him."Waylon scoffed, emphasizing the absurdity of Oliver's claim. "As if someone like him would have anything worthy enough to propose to Atlas Forge."Oliver kept his composure, his face unyielding despite Waylon's attempts to undermine him."I'm not a fraudster," he replied firmly. "I’m here because of a proposal I submitted, one t

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
