Alicia’s office exuded a modern and elegant atmosphere. Glass walls provided a sweeping view of the city, while a large wooden desk at the center of the room was neatly organized with stacks of documents. Alicia looked cheerful, wearing a maroon blazer paired with white trousers, making her appear both professional and graceful. This was the first time Asher had visited her office—normally, their meetings took place elsewhere or at Asher’s own office.

When the door opened and Asher walked in, Alicia immediately stood from her chair with a wide smile. “I’m glad you could come,” she said sincerely, gesturing for Asher to sit on the comfortable sofa in the corner of the room.

Before Asher could say anything, he handed her a bag filled with desserts he had purchased earlier from La Pâtisserie Éclat. “This is for you,” he said casually, looking at Alicia with a calm, attentive gaze.

Alicia was momentarily surprised, then let out a soft laugh, her sweet smile lighting up her face. “You didn

    "Have you heard? Olivia is cheating on Darren!""I've been saying it, that low-class guy is just being used by Olivia.""It makes sense! Olivia is the most popular girl on campus. There's no way she's really in love with that poor guy.""Exactly! This is such hot and shocking news on our campus. The spoiled rich girl is cheating with the campus benefactor's son!"In the campus corridor, Asher Dixon walked, sighing heavily. His face turned pale as he realized that the gossip about his girlfriend, Olivia Halbert, had spread like wildfire over the past three days.Until now, Asher had always thought that the relationship between Darren and Olivia was just limited to being campus friends, but the reality hit hard as he frequently caught Olivia with his best friend, Darren Alexander, these past three days.

    In the bustling cafeteria, Olivia's laughter filled the air as she mocked Asher cynically. "Hey, do you think you could be an heir? Maybe you should hire more actors to dramatize, Asher!" She taunted, accompanied by waves of mockery from those around her.The cafeteria patrons echoed Olivia's sentiments, their looks filled with disdain towards Asher. Various whispers could be heard."Look, after being rejected, this country bumpkin is putting on a show!""Poor Asher! So desperate for Olivia's approval that he's hiring others.""I think Asher's foolish. Wanting to date Olivia so badly!"However, Olivia's echoing laughter suddenly subsided when Mr. Leonester, the butler, spoke calmly yet firmly, "You should be careful with your words, Mrs. Halbert. The Dixon family's power should not be underestimated."The cafeteria fell into a hush. Those who were whispering seemed to avert their eyes, avoiding the sharp and intimidating gaze of the white-haired, yet dignified, man.Meanwhile, Darren,

The glow of beautiful crystal lamps radiated along the mansion's corridors, creating an atmosphere that seemed to welcome the heir of the Dixon family.Stepping on the gleaming marble floor, Asher's memories took him back to the past, right to when he was four years old. He vividly remembered how massive and grand the mansion appeared to him back then. The cherished memories with his parents, Luciana Dixon and Aberon Dixon, became clearer in his mind.Upon entering the mansion's main hall, Asher was greeted with warmth and grandeur. Luciana Dixon, his elegant mother in a captivating evening gown, approached Asher with a happy smile. "Welcome back, dear," she said warmly.His father, Aberon Dixon, a dignified man in a suit befitting his position as the head of the Dixon company, extended his hand to pat Asher's shoulder. "Y

    After Kailos finished informing the Alexander Company, Asher started discussing with Kailos, carrying out his next tasks as the leader. He seemed enthusiastic while providing interesting ideas for the hotel development project.Besides work, Kailos also explained that every year the Dixon company held charity events and social activities. Asher was intrigued. "What contributions does the education foundation make to underprivileged children?" Asher asked, catching the social activities' purpose and the education foundation's contributions."Yes, Sir. We often donate to orphanages. During charity events, we can donate new or gently used items to those in need. It can also be for orphaned children."Asher nodded in understanding. For a moment, he was silent, a question crossing his mind. "Then who leads the Dixon company's welfare foundation?"If there are contributions from the education foundation, charity events, and social activities, there must be a leader managing the welfare foun

    Asher enjoyed his life as an heir. Although many eyes disapproved of him replacing Aberon, even one by one, the subsidiaries managed by his uncle rebelled, demanding Aberon to take back full control of the company. The news of Asher terminating the partnership with the Alexander Company spread quickly.Asher didn't pay much attention to the protests from the Dixon subsidiaries. Like it or not, they had to follow his policies if they still wanted to lead branches of the Dixon company.After successfully causing significant losses to Darren’s company, Asher reviewed all the partnership documents with other companies.Who knows, maybe the Halbert company had worked with Dixon. If true, Asher would make that company suffer the same fate as the Alexander company.Kailos rose from the sofa and walked towards Asher's desk.

    After finishing all his office work, Asher met with Wilson Leonester at the mansion. He specifically asked the middle-aged man to investigate the designs of Halbert Company’s furniture. Asher wanted to ensure whether there were other designs similar to those of Rudwick Company.A sly smile formed on Asher’s lips after reading various documents from Wilson. The surname that Olivia had always been proud of and the success of Halbert Company turned out to be stolen from another company.Asher felt even more pleased; he was just one step away from achieving his goal of getting back at Olivia. His gaze shifted to Wilson, and he asked, “Mr. Wilson, do you know why Dixon Company always uses furniture from Halbert?”Wilson looked up, thinking for a moment before answering Asher’s question. “As far as I know, Dixon doesn’t always use furniture from Halbert. Sometimes my master uses furniture from Rudwick.”Asher nodded in understanding. His eyes refocused on the sheets of paper. “But why did K

    The sound of shattering glass broke the silence in Kaylery Barnnet’s office. A crystal glass that had been in his hand now lay scattered across the floor, its contents soaking into the thick carpet. Kaylery stood in the center of the room, his breathing heavy and his eyes red with rage. He raked his hands through his hair, the gesture rough and filled with frustration.“Damn it! I hate him!” Kaylery shouted, his voice echoing through the room.His subordinates stood frozen near the door, too afraid to say anything. They knew that when Kaylery was angry, everything could end tragically. None of them dared to approach him.Antony had been taken by Asher Dixon. Fernandez’s project had been ruthlessly canceled. Defeat after defeat had struck Kaylery, igniting his already massive ego. But beneath his fury, his mind was still working. He wouldn’t lose this easily. These setbacks were only temporary—a small piece of a larger plan he was crafting.A knock at the door briefly distracted Kayler

    The abandoned building was eerily silent, illuminated only by the dim light of a portable lamp Joseph had brought. The walls were covered in graffiti, and the dirt floor was dusty, mixed with footprints and drying stains of fresh blood. The early morning air was cold, but inside that room, the tension burned hotter than fire.Three men lay sprawled on the dusty floor, their bodies bruised and their faces battered, groaning faintly in the heavy silence. Their hands were tied behind their backs, and their eyes darted with fear every time they glanced at the figure standing before them.Asher stood tall in front of them. His black suit, simple yet impeccable, radiated an aura of authority and mercilessness that couldn’t be ignored. His face showed no hint of compassion, only a sharp, penetrating gaze that could pierce the soul of anyone unlucky enough to meet it. Behind him, Joseph stood still, his eyes carefully watching every movement of the three men.“Is it done?” Asher asked flatly,

    In the hidden tech room within the Celestial Haven Hotel, Joseph stood amidst the blue glow radiating from the holographic screens in front of him. Complex graphics moved rapidly, displaying security data, guest movement patterns, and advanced monitoring systems. There were no physical screens, only projections hovering in the air—a testament to Dixon’s cutting-edge technology.Joseph’s face was serious, his eyes scanning every detail on the screen. But his composure broke when he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned quickly to see Wilson pointing toward one of the holographic screens on the right.“On the 24th floor, look at that,” Wilson said quietly but firmly, his finger pointing to a man dressed entirely in black who appeared on the surveillance camera.The man looked suspicious, walking briskly toward room 234. The camera’s auto-zoom captured his movements. Joseph’s eyes narrowed as he watched the man stop in front of the room, pull something from his bag, and attach it to the

    The party grew livelier. Guests chatted, laughed, and indulged in the luxurious dishes served at every corner of the ballroom. Soft classical orchestra music filled the air, complementing the brilliance of the crystal lights that illuminated the room. However, in a dimly lit corner, Kaylery Barnnet’s mood stood in stark contrast to the festive atmosphere around him.Kaylery’s sharp eyes were fixed on Asher, who stood by Alicia’s side. The woman was smiling warmly while Asher casually brushed his hand against her cheek. The simple gesture was enough to make Kaylery’s anger boil over. His left hand gripped a glass of whiskey on the table tightly, while his right hand clenched the edge of his chair.In one swift motion, he lifted his whiskey glass and drank it down to the last drop. The burning sensation of the drink wasn’t enough to distract him from the storm of emotions in his mind. His eyes remained on Alicia, glowing beside Asher.“Are you jealous?” A low, mocking voice sounded from

    After finishing at the branch office, Asher returned to complete various tasks at the main office. He sat upright in his chair, signing documents one by one with skilled hands. The meeting with another company, which had just concluded, left the conference room filled with reports and data. The atmosphere felt slightly lighter now, though the tension hadn’t entirely dissipated.Kailos stood beside him, occasionally glancing at his watch, waiting for Asher to finish signing the remaining documents. Now and then, Asher would glance up at Kailos before refocusing on the stack of papers still awaiting his signature.Before he could finish the last document, the sound of approaching footsteps echoed. Joseph entered the room with a serious expression, holding a tablet in his hand. Behind him, the door closed tightly, ensuring there would be no outside interruptions.“We’ve found Antony, Sir,” Joseph said as he carefully handed over the tablet. His face was serious, full of urgency.Asher di

    The meeting room at Dixon Marketing & Innovations felt cold, even though the air conditioning blew softly. Glass walls offered a view of the bustling city outside, while the large table in the center was cluttered with documents, laptops, and tense faces. Asher sat at the head of the table, dressed in a sharp black suit with a slim tie. His handsome face was neutral, exuding an air of authority. In his hand, he twirled a pen slowly, a reflection of his patience running thin.Across from him sat Gaurav Fernandez, a man in his fifties with a large build clad in an expensive gray suit. His face was red with suppressed anger, and he slapped the table hard with his hand. “Those villagers need to know their place! My project could be a massive opportunity for them, yet they refuse because of their sentimental attachment to some worn-out land. It’s absurd!”Leonard tried to ease the tension, speaking carefully. “Mr. Fernandez, we understand your frustration. However, this situation requires

    The night at the Dixon mansion was calm, with the evening breeze flowing softly through the large windows lining the corridors. Asher had just finished his work in the study and was making his way back to his room. However, his steps slowed as he approached the lounge. The gentle voice of his mother drifted faintly through the slightly ajar door.Asher approached quietly, stopping at the doorway without any intention of eavesdropping. Yet, Luciana’s words were clear, her tone both elegant and enthusiastic as she spoke on the phone.“Yes, I think tomorrow night is perfect. Everything has been prepared; we’re just waiting for the guests now. Oh, I’m certain Asher will love this,” Luciana said, ending her sentence with a soft chuckle.Asher exhaled softly, waiting until his mother’s conversation wrapped up with a polite farewell. Once the call ended, he stepped into the room.“Mom, is it necessary to hold that event?” Asher asked, his low tone startling Luciana.The older woman flinched

    When Asher arrived at the office, he immediately noticed something unusual. A group of people stood on the street in front of the building, holding banners and posters with bold, striking messages. "OUR LAND IS NOT FOR SALE!" and "STOP THE FORCED LAND SEIZURE!" were prominently displayed. Their faces were tense, and some pointed angrily toward the building. Even their shouts caught the attention of employees and passersby in the area. "Our land is not for sale!" One of them yelled. "Stop forcing us to sell our property rights!" "We have the right to defend our land!" Asher frowned, his eyebrows knitting together as his sharp gaze studied the crowd from behind the car window. He stepped out of the vehicle with firm, measured strides. Once he entered the building lobby, Joseph was already waiting for him, his face equally tense. “What’s this protest about, Joseph?” Asher asked, his tone curt and authoritative. “I’m not sure about the details yet, sir, but Kailos is handling
