The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 78. THE LEADER'S TEST
The tension in the office didn’t dissipate after the board’s decision. While David had been suspended, his parting threats lingered in the air, casting a shadow over Hoshier Holdings.Oliver, however, remained unshaken. He had dealt with worse and knew that maintaining his composure was critical.Still, the atmosphere in the company was charged, and whispers about the confrontation and David’s suspension rippled through every department.The next morning, Oliver arrived early, as was his routine.The office was quiet, and the usual bustle of employees was not yet in full swing. He appreciated these moments of calm before the storm of the day began.Pouring himself a cup of coffee, he sat down at his desk and began reviewing the company’s latest performance reports.Midway through his analysis, James knocked on the door and entered.“Good morning, Mr. Roberts,” James said, his expression unusually tense.“Morning, James. What’s on your mind?” Oliver asked, looking up from his papers.“
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 79. THE STEP TOWARD VICTORY
The media frenzy around Hoshier Holdings gradually began to die down after the company’s latest statement, but internally, the damage lingered. Employees were still wary, and tensions between departments ran high.Oliver knew the company’s culture needed healing. His first step was to address everyone directly, which was why an all-hands meeting was scheduled for the following morning.Standing on the stage in the large conference hall, Oliver faced hundreds of employees, their faces a mix of curiosity and apprehension.He took a deep breath, the calm authority he was known for radiating as he began to speak."Good morning, everyone. I won’t take up too much of your time, but I felt it was important to address you all directly," Oliver said, his voice steady. "These past few days have been difficult for the company, for me personally, and for many of you. I understand that trust has been tested, and uncertainty has taken hold."He paused, scanning the crowd, ensuring he had their atte
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 80. DISRESPECTED
Oliver had been planning this dinner for a while now. He knew Elena had been under a lot of stress lately, and he wanted to give her a night to relax.He wanted to remind her of the finer things in life, away from the chaos of the company and the world outside. So, he took the time to make a reservation at one of the most prestigious restaurants in the city.The kind of place with white-glove service, chandeliers, and an air of exclusivity that would make anyone feel special.As Oliver finished getting ready, Elena stepped out of the bathroom, dressed in a stunning black evening gown. She looked at him with a raised eyebrow."You've been acting mysterious all day," Elena said, tying a delicate silver bracelet around her wrist. "What’s going on? What’s this all about?"Oliver gave her a playful smile."I’ve prepared something for you tonight. A little surprise."Elena’s curiosity peaked."A surprise? What are you planning, Oliver?""Patience," he replied with a wink. "You’ll see soon e
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 81. THE UNEXPECTED OLIVER ROBERTS
All eyes turned toward the entrance, where a man in a sharp suit stood with an air of authority. He was tall, with an easy smile, but the fierceness in his eyes told everyone he wasn’t to be messed with.The manager immediately straightened, his smug demeanor faltering as he quickly turned to face the new arrival."Mr. Morner, I—""Is this how you treat our guests?"Jonathan Morner, the restaurant owner, said, his voice sharp."You insult paying customers and try to throw them out? That’s not how we do things here."The manager stammered, clearly nervous."I... I didn’t mean—""Enough," Morner snapped. "You’re fired.""But, Mr. Morner!"The manager exclaimed, his face flushed with shock."He’s a fraud!" He pointed at Oliver with a trembling hand, his voice tinged with desperation."Fraud? What do you mean by that?"Jonathan asked, his gaze flicking between the manager and the couple before him. He studied Oliver and Elena, his sharp eyes taking in their calm demeanor.“They claimed th
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 82. BUSINESS INTRIGUE AND MYSTERIOUS SHADOWS
The morning sun filtered through the curtains, casting soft light across the room. Oliver lay in bed, his mind still replaying the events of the previous night.The tension at the restaurant, the manager’s humiliation, and the lavish treatment afterward were all still fresh in his thoughts. But today, his attention was divided. He had business to attend to, and Elena, ever the professional, had already risen, getting ready for their next big project.He glanced at her as she stood in front of the mirror, adjusting her blouse. Elena looked radiant even in the early morning light, her face still soft with sleep.The way she carried herself—always so composed, and confident—was part of what drew him to her. But there was an air of unease today, one he couldn’t quite place."Are you okay?" he asked, his voice low, almost hesitant.Elena paused for a moment before glancing over her shoulder."I’m fine," she said, her tone light, though he could detect a trace of tension in her eyes. "Just
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 83. BETWEEN AMBITION AND INTEGRITY
The tension between the three men was palpable as they stood in the lobby of Sinclair Enterprises. Elena instinctively stepped slightly closer to Oliver, sensing that this meeting was far from over.Adam’s smile tightened, but his confidence didn’t waver. "Henry, I wasn’t aware you’d be here today," he said, his tone carefully controlled.Henry shrugged, his posture casual but his gaze sharp. "I wasn’t planning to be. Then I got word that you were negotiating a deal that involved our international division. Funny, since that’s supposed to fall under my jurisdiction."Elena glanced at Oliver, who seemed to be carefully studying Henry. The older Sinclair brother exuded a calm authority that was the complete opposite of Adam’s overt ambition. Yet beneath the calm exterior, there was an unmistakable edge to his words."Let’s not make a scene, Henry," Adam said smoothly, though his tone carried a hint of irritation. "This is a lucrative opportunity for Sinclair Enterprises. I assumed you’d
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 83. ADAM'S DECEITFUL PLAN
"Holy shit!"Adam cursed as he slammed his glass onto the mahogany table, the sound echoing through the luxurious penthouse. Amber liquid sloshed over the rim, but Adam didn’t care.His grip tightened around the glass, his knuckles white, as his eyes burned with unrestrained fury."I will not forgive that bastard Oliver!" he spat, his voice venomous.His mind replayed the humiliation from earlier, the way Oliver had dismantled his carefully laid plans with an air of superiority. Adam couldn’t let it go. He wouldn’t.The following day, Adam orchestrated his next move. He knew exactly where Elena, Oliver’s wife, would be.The upscale restaurant downtown was her favorite lunch spot, especially when she dined with her close friends. Adam smirked to himself as he adjusted his tie, preparing to intercept her.He wasn’t just after revenge; he wanted to shake Oliver to his core, starting with the person Oliver treasured most.When Elena arrived, dressed elegantly in a soft lavender blouse and
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 84. ALMOST RAPED
"Elena," Adam Cooper greeted her with a sly grin as he opened the door to his lavish penthouse. His gray eyes sparkled with triumph, his demeanor dripping with calculated smugness. "I've been waiting for you."Elena’s lips tightened into a thin line as she stepped inside, her heels clicking against the polished marble floor. The luxurious penthouse boasted floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the glittering city skyline, but the opulence felt suffocating. She didn’t trust Adam for a second. His false charm, the way his grin stretched just a little too wide—it all screamed danger.“I’m here, Adam,” Elena said coldly, crossing her arms over her chest. “Now show me the video. Delete it, and we’ll never have to speak again.”Adam’s grin deepened as he shut the door, locking it with an audible click. “So eager,” he mused, motioning toward the velvet couch in the center of the room. “But where are your manners, Elena? Sit. Relax. Let’s have a drink and... chat a little first.”“I didn’t com

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
