Asher stepped into the large conference room, accompanied by Aberon and Wilson. Across the long oak table, Cody Halbert sat with a tired and desperate expression. Mr. Tjoe, Asher's lawyer, sat beside Asher, ready to provide legal advice.The room felt tense. Bright lights illuminated the documents scattered on the table, while outside, gray clouds covered the sky, adding to the heavy atmosphere in the room.Asher sat calmly, staring directly into Cody's eyes. There was a palpable tension between them, two men with different goals yet bound by the same situation. Aberon, sitting next to Asher, offered a quiet gesture of support."Thank you for taking the time to meet with us, Mr. Cody Halbert," Asher opened the conversation with a measured tone. Cody nodded slowly, while Mr. Tjoe jotted something down in his notepad."Of course, Mr. Asher," Cody replied, his voice slightly trembling. "I hope we can find a mutually beneficial solution."Cody took a deep breath before continuing, "Actual

The Halbert Company was now officially owned by Asher. He felt a sense of satisfaction in acquiring something from those who had once betrayed and insulted him. After completing the purchase, the atmosphere in the Dixon Company's office, particularly in the meeting room, was quite serious. Aberon, Wilson, and Kailos sat around the large conference table. Papers were scattered across the table, and several laptops were open, displaying presentations and data related to the upcoming charity event. Asher sat at the head of the table, leading the discussion with deep focus."This charity event is very important," Aberon began the discussion. "The orphanage where Asher was once placed holds many memories and valuable lessons. I want to ensure this event goes well and has a positive impact."Asher nodded in agreement. "I agree, Dad. I want this event not only to provide material assistance but also to involve our clients and employees so they can understand the significance of this charity

Asher's thoughts turned to the social activities that had become a regular part of the company's agenda. He sat in his large leather chair while Kailos sat across from him. On the table were stacks of documents and a laptop displaying a presentation of the Dixon Company's planned social activities."Kailos, how is the progress on the usual social event invitations?" Asher asked, opening the discussion."We've sent invitations to all clients and employees. The response has been very positive. Many are enthusiastic about participating, especially since the event will be held at an orphanage that holds historical significance for the company," Kailos replied with a small smile."Excellent. I want to ensure everything runs smoothly and has a positive impact. We also need to make sure that all activities are well planned so that participants can truly benefit," Asher said, his eyes on the laptop screen displaying the detailed event plan."Mr. Asher. We are also preparing all logistical nee

Alicia quietly smiled as she heard what Asher said. Her heart raced at Asher's awkwardness. Alicia felt happy but also confused about what to do."Asher, are you okay?" Alicia asked softly, trying to divert attention from Asher's nervousness."Ah, yes, I'm fine. It's just... I was a bit surprised by your painting. It's really beautiful," Asher replied, a bit calmer but still with a hint of nervousness in his voice.Alicia approached Asher and looked at her painting. "Thank you. I'm glad someone likes my painting. But, I prefer honest opinions because I'm not used to painting."Asher felt his heart beat faster. He swallowed and tried to regulate his breathing. "Really? But your painting is truly beautiful. You painted cherry blossoms, right?" Asher looked at Alicia's canvas. There he saw the strokes of a cherry blossom tree with beautiful pink colors."You're right. I like flowers."Asher smiled slightly, following Alicia as she led him to a shaded area with a wooden table and chairs.

Asher left the office just as night fell, revealing the glittering city lights reflecting off the skyscrapers. The streets were busy with rows of passing cars, while hurried pedestrians mingled with those enjoying the warm evening. The sounds of honking horns and low conversations formed the backdrop of the dynamic nightlife.Asher stood in front of a luxurious restaurant located in the city center, waiting for Heinry Rudwick to arrive. This restaurant was famous for its elegant atmosphere and delectable menu, suitable for business meetings or special celebrations. Asher wore a neat black suit, ensuring his appearance was perfect for the evening.Soon, a shiny black car stopped in front of the restaurant. Heinry Rudwick gracefully stepped out of the car, wearing a classy gray suit. He smiled broadly when he saw Asher and walked closer."Mr. Asher, long time no see!

Asher didn’t go straight back to the mansion. Instead, he went to Alicia’s apartment, as per Aldric’s request. His future father-in-law had informed him that Alicia had locked herself in her apartment ever since the scandal involving Pervaz erupted. Worried about her, Asher decided to check on her himself.Inside the apartment, Asher felt a slight suffocation, as if the air was heavy with prolonged silence. There was no sound except for the ticking of the wall clock and the faint rustling of the chocolate bar the woman was chewing.He sat on the sofa, his back slightly leaning against it, yet the tension in his body was undeniable. His eyes caught every detail in the room—from the scattered pillows on the floor to the empty coffee cup on the table to the almost-finished box of chocolates. But what captured his attention the most was Alicia herself.She looked different. No neatly pressed blazer, no proud stance, no sharp gaze like the ones she wore in business meetings.Alicia sat slo
CHAPTER 138
Asher sat on the sofa, his fingers rhythmically tapping the armrest in a slow, deliberate motion. His gaze occasionally flicked to his watch, waiting for news about the publication of Evelyn Kazylot’s work. He wanted to see how the media and public would react.He had spent the entire day working to restore the hotel’s reputation. After yesterday’s tragedy, room bookings had plummeted, and many guests had canceled their reservations. Headlines were filled with negative speculation, calling Celestial Haven a “cursed hotel” or even hinting at its involvement in Evelyn’s death.But this wasn’t the first time Dixon had faced a storm. And Asher never lost this game.A knock at the door pulled him from his thoughts. Kailos entered, a rare look of satisfaction on his face."Sir, the news is out."Asher took the tablet from Kailos and leaned back on the sofa, scanning the screen swiftly, reading through the articles now dominating online media.Meanwhile, Kailos turned on the TV, and the larg

Asher’s footsteps echoed steadily down the hallway of Pervaz Corporation, but his gaze never left the woman beside him. Alicia walked with a vacant stare, her expression carrying an unease she could not hide.Asher didn’t need to ask. He already knew what was running through her mind. Fear. Shame. Doubt. Alicia was afraid of losing him. Afraid that this scandal would make him leave her.Asher let out a quiet sigh before stopping in his tracks. Alicia, too lost in her thoughts, was forced to halt beside him. Her brows furrowed in confusion when Asher turned to face her, his gaze intense and unwavering."I am not ashamed, Alicia." His voice was calm, yet firm.Alicia’s eyes widened slightly. Her lips parted, but no words came out."Even if your family is caught in this scandal, I will never leave you or break off our engagement."In an instant, the crushing weight in her chest lightened just a little. Alicia’s gaze softened, shifting into something more vulnerable. She had prepared hers
CHAPTER 136
The atmosphere at Pervaz’s office was far from calm. Since morning, security personnel had been busy keeping demonstrators at bay outside. Their shouts echoed into the building, their voices filled with anger. Some held posters reading “Justice for the Experiment Victims!” and “Pervaz Must Be Held Accountable!”Inside, the chaos was just as bad. The Public Relations and Crisis Management divisions were overwhelmed by the nonstop influx of phone calls. Staff members tried to calm the public’s outrage, but nearly no one was willing to listen to their clarifications.Meanwhile, the communications team was scrambling to take down articles tarnishing Pervaz’s name, desperately trying to control the narrative before everything spiraled further out of control. But like a venomous snake, the news continued to spread, no matter how many times they tried to suppress it.The doors to Aldric’s office swung open, revealing Alicia as she stormed inside, her face filled with fury. She strode straigh

The room was dimly lit, casting long shadows along the glass walls that overlooked the now-quiet city. Asher sat in his chair, staring at the pile of documents scattered across his desk—some still sealed, others already read and signed.He leaned back, rubbing his temple with his fingertips. His mind was still preoccupied with his conversation with Aberon earlier."The higher you climb, the more people will try to pull you down."Asher let out a slow breath, his gaze drifting toward the ceiling. Dad was right. There are still so many things I need to be cautious about.Before his thoughts could wander further, a knock on the door broke the silence. Asher straightened up, adjusting his posture."Come in."The door opened, and Joseph stepped inside with a serious expression, his eyes carrying something beyond a routine report."How’s Antony’s situation?" Asher asked immediately, his tone remaining calm, though he had already predicted most of the answer."Antony has officially been thro

Asher sat upright in the black leather chair facing his father’s desk. The air in the room felt warm, mixed with the distinct scent of mahogany wood. The glow from the desk lamp cast soft shadows over the stack of documents Aberon had just handed him.Aberon folded his arms over the desk, his gaze as sharp as ever, though there was a hint of pride reflected in his eyes. “Review it carefully and understand everything. After that, you can decide,” he said, his voice calm yet authoritative.Asher took the documents without haste. He flipped open the first page, his eyes swiftly scanning every detail. The papers contained the construction proposal for Alexander’s former company, now part of Dixon, plans for its merger, and the potential risks that might arise from this move.“So, Dad, you agree with this acquisition?” Asher asked without lifting his gaze from the papers. “I want to merge it with Dixon’s construction sector. That way, we’ll have two main pillars in this industry.”Aberon l
CHAPTER 133
Asher leaned back in his chair, one hand resting on the armrest while the other twirled a pen between his fingers. His sharp eyes studied the woman standing before him. Oriana appeared calm on the surface, but Asher could sense the turmoil vibrating inside her mind—cursing, panicking, desperately searching for an excuse to save herself.A small smile curled on Asher’s lips—not a friendly one, but something laced with irony.“Forgive me, Mr. Dixon.” Oriana’s voice finally broke the silence, slightly hesitant but still striving to sound professional. “Have I done something wrong? Why did you want to meet me?”Kailos, standing beside the desk, placed a stack of documents in front of her. Without any expression, he slid the file toward her with a single firm motion. “You should read it yourself.”Oriana swallowed hard, her fingers trembling as she flipped open the first page. Her eyes moved quickly, scanning through reports of disputes, sabotage, and concrete evidence of her betrayal agai
CHAPTER 132
The sky shifted towards noon as Alicia left Asher’s office. Although their meetings always ended in work discussions, there was something about being around him that made her feel lighter. Maybe it was the way Asher looked at her so calmly, or how his deep voice always gave the impression that he had control over everything.But now, Alicia’s focus shifted to another task. She walked across the gleaming marble floor of a luxury hotel, where her meeting with a client was taking place. Their discussion about marketing and distributing her cosmetic products in major shopping centers went smoothly. Everything seemed perfect.However, as she stepped out of the conference room, her breath hitched for a moment.A man stood in front of her, blocking her way with an all-too-familiar expression—Kaylery Barnnet.Alicia felt a wave of discomfort crawl up her spine. She swallowed hard, forcing a polite smile. “Mr. Barnnet?” Her voice sounded neutral, though there was a slight tremor at the end.Ka
CHAPTER 131
The warm rays of sunlight slipped through the gaps in the curtains of the small room behind the bookshelf in Asher’s office. The space was simple yet cozy, designed for quick rests during late nights at work. But this morning, that warmth felt slightly intrusive. Asher blinked slowly, trying to ignore the light that danced across his face, disappearing for a moment only to return.He let out a soft sigh, his sleep interrupted by something—or rather, someone—moving near the light. Asher didn’t get up immediately, choosing to remain lying down and enjoying the unusual calm. Someone was there.Sitting quietly at the edge of the bed was Alicia. She wore a light blue blouse paired with a cream pencil skirt that elegantly accentuated her silhouette. Her hair, usually loose, was tied back in a low ponytail, with a few strands softly framing her face. The sunlight reflected off her fingers as she played with the curtain, casting small shadows on Asher’s face.Alicia smiled gently, her eyes a
