The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 95. THE SOVEREIGN
The cold air of the French countryside brushed against the estate’s high walls, but the atmosphere inside was far colder. Lucian, once the puppet master pulling strings in the shadows, now sat at the long table like a dethroned king. His slick composure was cracking, his hands gripping the table’s edge as Oliver loomed over him.Nero stood by the entrance, his imposing frame and calculated gaze ensuring no one dared move. Elena, though she had been advised to stay behind, had slipped into the scene, watching the confrontation unfold from a shadowed corner. She couldn’t tear her eyes away from Oliver, who embodied an unstoppable force of justice.Oliver’s voice was cold as steel. “You’ve built your empire on fear and manipulation, Lucian. But tonight, you face someone who doesn’t fear you.”Lucian smirked weakly, trying to recover some semblance of control. “Do you think taking me down will end this game? There will always be another Lucian, another man ready to seize power.”Oliver le
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 96.THE RUINS OF VAUGHN'S EMPIRE
The crowded hall of the law firm buzzed with the sharp clatter of shoes against marble, muted conversations blending into a symphony of white-collar chaos. Oliver Roberts sat quietly in a corner, his posture unassuming.Dressed in a modest suit, he looked more like an intern than a client. His hands rested lightly on the table before him, fingers tracing the edge of a plain folder.A sharp voice broke through the hum.“Mr. Roberts, you’re up,” a young assistant called, barely sparing him a glance.Oliver rose slowly, his movements deliberate and calm, as if oblivious to the dismissive looks cast his way. He walked to the conference room, where a polished mahogany table dominated the space.Sitting at the far end, flanked by two lawyers, was Richard Vaughn—a man whose name commanded fear in financial and legal circles.Vaughn’s sharp features twisted into a smirk as Oliver entered.“Well, well, if it isn’t the infamous Oliver Roberts.”Vaughn drawled, leaning back in his chair. His tai
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 97. THE BIGGEST MISTAKE
The afternoon sun filtered through the large windows of a modest café on the corner of a busy street.Oliver Roberts sat quietly in a corner booth, his posture relaxed, though his sharp eyes scanned the room with calculated precision.To the average observer, he appeared inconspicuous—just another man in an off-the-rack suit, sipping his coffee.Across from him sat a man named Garrett Fletcher, a newly minted business magnate whose reputation for arrogance preceded him.Garrett leaned back in his chair, a smirk plastered across his face as he sized up Oliver."So, this is the infamous Oliver Roberts," Garrett began, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "The man who thinks he can teach me a lesson. You should've stayed in the shadows where you belong."Oliver smiled faintly, lifting his coffee cup with calm deliberation."I’m not here to teach you anything, Garrett. I’m here to make sure you understand who you’re dealing with."Garrett laughed, a loud, obnoxious sound that turned a few hea
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 98. BENEATH THE SURFACE
The rain poured relentlessly, creating a rhythmic pattern against the glass windows of the dimly lit office.Oliver Roberts sat at the edge of the room, his posture relaxed but his mind sharp. He wore a simple suit that didn’t command attention, a conscious choice for a man who preferred to stay underestimated.Across from him sat Henry Caldwell, a brash and arrogant CEO known for his ruthless dealings in the corporate world.Caldwell had earned his wealth through intimidation, manipulation, and betrayal, and now he was eyeing the one thing that connected Oliver to his past—a small parcel of land that Oliver’s late grandfather had left behind.“Let’s cut the theatrics, Roberts,” Caldwell began, leaning back in his oversized chair with a smug grin. “Your land is worth pennies. I’m offering you ten times what it’s worth. Take the deal before I decide you’re not worth my time.”Oliver tilted his head slightly, his expression calm, almost bored.“It’s not for sale.”Caldwell let out a moc
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 99. THE POWER
Oliver walked into the grand hall of Grayson Enterprises, his presence unassuming but purposeful.The receptionists barely spared him a glance, mistaking him for an employee rather than a visitor of importance. He was dressed in a simple button-down shirt and dark slacks, his appearance far from the sharp, commanding look of a typical corporate figure.The subtle whispers of disdain didn’t escape his sharp hearing as he waited near the front desk.“Who’s that?”One receptionist muttered to another, eyeing Oliver’s worn leather shoes.“Probably here to deliver something. Doesn’t look like he belongs in a place like this.”Oliver merely smiled to himself, the slight curve of his lips betraying neither irritation nor amusement. He thrived on these assumptions; underestimation was the greatest weapon he wielded.“Excuse me,” he said to the receptionist. “I’m here to see Mr. Grayson. Tell him Oliver Roberts is waiting.”The woman’s expression tightened in confusion.“Mr. Grayson doesn’t ta
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 100. THE NEXT PHASE
The boardroom was abuzz with muted conversations as Oliver Roberts entered. Heads turned, and several pairs of eyes scanned him, their expressions betraying skepticism and disdain.To them, he was nobody—a man barely scraping by, clinging to the vestiges of a forgotten legacy. His plain attire and calm demeanor only added to their assumption that he didn’t belong there.“Who let him in here?”A man at the far end of the table sneered, his voice loud enough to echo. His name was Patrick Dale, a senior executive notorious for his sharp tongue and elitist attitude.“Is this a joke?”Oliver didn’t respond immediately. He walked to the center of the room, his steps measured and deliberate. His gaze swept the room, locking eyes with each person for a brief moment.“I was invited,” Oliver said evenly, placing a worn leather folder on the table.Patrick smirked. “By whom? The janitor?”Several people chuckled, but their laughter was nervous.There was something about Oliver’s presence—his uny
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 101. A VICTIM OF VIOLENCE
The sharp trill of Oliver Roberts’s phone echoed through his quiet study, pulling him out of a momentary reverie. He glanced at the screen and saw his mother’s name flashing.A faint frown creased his brow. It was rare for her to call him during this time of the day.“Hello, Mom?” he answered, his voice steady but laced with curiosity.“Oliver…” Her voice trembled, an uncharacteristic fear bleeding through. “Please, you need to come to the villa immediately. We need your help.”His heart skipped a beat. “What’s wrong? Are you and Dad okay?”“We’re fine, but… please, just hurry,” she said, her voice breaking slightly before the line disconnected.Oliver didn’t waste a second. Grabbing his keys, he headed straight to his car, his mind racing with questions. What could possibly have shaken his mother so deeply?When Oliver arrived at the villa, the familiar sight of the cozy house surrounded by well-manicured gardens did little to ease his growing anxiety. He stepped out of the car and r
The Awakening Of Oliver Roberts CHAPTER 102. OLIVER'S TRUE STRENGTH
After ensuring Mia was resting comfortably in the guest room, Oliver turned to leave the villa. Her condition was still fragile, but the medical attention she’d received had stabilized her for now.The oversized, tattered clothes she was wearing caught his attention as he closed the door. She couldn’t keep wearing those—she needed proper clothes.“I’ll be back soon,” Oliver said softly, turning to glance at her one last time.Mia looked up at him, her eyes wide and uncertain.“You’re leaving?” she asked hesitantly, her voice barely above a whisper.“Only for a while. I’m going to get you some clothes,” Oliver replied, his tone calm and reassuring.Mia blinked, stunned by the unexpected kindness. She had been used to men only offering help with ulterior motives—debt collectors who demanded payment in ways that stripped her of dignity, or strangers who made her feel like an object.But Oliver was different. His quiet demeanor and actions spoke of a man who genuinely cared without asking

CHAPTER 165. DANGEROUS MAN
Oliver watched Katherine’s retreating figure disappear into the crowd, her sharp heels clicking against the polished floor. He took a deep breath, attempting to shake off the weight of the evening’s events. The room had settled somewhat, the murmurs fading as the audience dispersed. However, Oliver knew this was just the beginning. The tangled web of sabotage surrounding Hoshier required more than a single confrontation to untangle.James approached him, his clipboard tucked under his arm. “Sir, I’ve sent Adrian and Nathan into one of the meeting rooms. They’re compiling their statements now. I’ll oversee everything to ensure there’s no manipulation.”Oliver nodded, his expression grim. “Good. I want every detail documented. When they’re done, forward copies to legal. They’ll know how to proceed.”James hesitated for a moment. “There’s something else. One of our security staff found an envelope addressed to you. It was left on the receptionist’s desk shortly before the commotion began

CHAPTER 164. THE STORM BENEATH THE SURFACE
Oliver sat back in his chair, the din of the lounge fading as his mind worked over the details of what had just unfolded. James returned, his expression unreadable as he approached Oliver with an update."Adrian and Nathan have begun providing the information we need," James reported, placing his tablet on the table. "They’re scared enough to spill everything."Oliver gave a curt nod. "Good. Keep pressing them until we have every piece of evidence against Evelyn and anyone else involved."James hesitated, glancing around the room before leaning closer. "There’s more, sir. Katherine hinted at deeper connections between Evelyn and some key players in Zenith Group. She suspects this sabotage wasn’t just a whim but part of a larger plan."Oliver frowned, his gaze sharp. "Zenith Group? That means Jack Knight might be indirectly involved—or worse, directly."James nodded. "It’s possible. But Katherine seems loyal to you, and her warnings feel genuine. She wouldn’t jeopardize her position wi

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
