2024-05-26 10:51:39Asher was brought back to the mansion, the place that should have been his home. As he stepped inside, the air seemed to change, becoming more serene and luxurious. 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. "You've returned to your true destiny, Asher. We are proud of you," he said with a tone full of pride.
The atmosphere in the mansion's main hall felt warm and loving. Asher's parents tried to make him feel comfortable and valued in his own home. Plush chairs adorned with silk embroidered with the Dixon family's emblem surrounded the room, reflecting the strength and stability of the large family.
Behind Asher, Mr. Leonester stood with a calm posture, ready to guide Asher as the heir of the Dixon company. His eyes were filled with hope and conviction, indicating that he would be a reliable mentor for Asher in carrying out his responsibilities.
In that moment, Asher felt the warmth of family, but also the weight of responsibility becoming more real on his shoulders. He knew that a challenging journey was about to begin, and he had to be prepared to face all the challenges that would come.
In the grand living room, Asher sat with his parents, Luciana and Aberon. The room felt cozy with sunlight streaming through large windows, illuminating the luxurious furniture adorning the space.
Luciana Dixon looked at Asher lovingly. "We are very proud of you, Asher. You have grown into a resilient young man full of potential."
Aberon Dixon added with a serious yet confident tone, "You have shown determination and courage in facing recent challenges. And now, it's time for you to take control of the Dixon company."
Asher felt a mixture of excitement and nervousness in his heart. Although he had prepared himself for this moment, the reality of responsibility made him feel both anxious and proud. He nodded firmly, looking at his parents with strengthened resolve.
"Are you ready to take the reins, Asher?" Aberon asked with a hopeful voice.
Asher nodded again. "I am ready, Father. I will uphold the honor and reputation of the Dixon company to the best of my abilities."
Luciana smiled proudly. "You possess all the qualities needed to be a great leader, Asher. We will always support you."
Mr. Leonester, who had been standing quietly behind, also spoke up, "I believe Asher will be an outstanding heir, Mr. and Mrs. Dixon. He has shown remarkable dedication and courage."
After a long and hopeful discussion, Asher was officially announced as the rightful heir of the Dixon company. The living room was filled with pride and optimism for the company's future.
Amidst the happiness, Asher also felt the weight of increased responsibility. He realized that there was much hard work and many challenges awaiting him, but he was ready to face them with strong determination.
Silently, Asher smiled with joy yet a sense of power. He realized that now, with wealth and high social status, he had the opportunity to retaliate against Darren and Olivia for their betrayal.
With strong determination, Asher began to plan how to show Darren and Olivia that he wasn't someone to be underestimated. He took on his responsibilities with enthusiasm, working hard to learn the intricacies of the Dixon company and expand the family's business network for tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Asher didn't neglect his education at university. Despite the immense responsibility as an heir, he remained consistent in excelling in his studies. Asher's graduation was just around the corner. Everything he did aimed to prove that he relied not only on his wealth and social status but also on his intelligence and dedication.
"I can't wait to play my new role as the rightful heir of the Dixon company. Asher Dixon," Asher whispered softly, a thin smile framing his face.

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

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. He handed over a document for a partnership with another company in the furniture sector for the hotel's facilities. "Sir, this is a proposal from a furniture company reco

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

Not only businessmen but Olivia—the heir of the Halbert company—also invited her college friends.The noisy atmosphere suddenly turned silent when Asher and Kailos entered the room. All eyes turned to Asher, whispering curiously about the handsome young man walking alongside Aberon Dixon's personal secretary. Some recognized him as the heir to the Dixon company.Olivia looked at Asher with annoyance. Her annoyance turned into surprise when she saw her father shaking hands warmly with Asher. She walked over to them, her curiosity piqued.Asher smiled meaningfully at Olivia beside Cody Halbert. "Nice to meet you again, Miss Halbert," Asher greeted the woman in a red dress with a low neckline.Olivia looked disdainful, not intending to return Asher's greeting. She smiled dismissively and glanced briefly at Kailos. "How much are you paid by this

Olivia felt a surge of anger welling up in her chest. She glared sharply at Asher, the young man who had ruined the party's atmosphere with his audacity. Her father, Cody Halbert, even had to bow his head and plead for the collaboration between their companies not to be canceled.A victorious smile adorned Asher's face. He enjoyed seeing Olivia's angry and upset expression and Cody's nervousness as he tried to explain the similarity between the two designs. The tension escalated when Olivia tore up the Rudwick company's design license letter and threw it right in front of Asher. Cody immediately grabbed Olivia's arm, giving her a warning signal.Kailos stepped forward to shield Asher, boldly and sharply staring at Olivia. "How dare a spoiled girl like you behave so rudely?!"Olivia snapped, displeased with Kailos' attitude. "How dare you stare at me like that! Do you even know who I am, huh?"Asher's laughter broke out, drawing the guests' attention. The atmosphere grew quieter, and t

The party was truly in chaos. The guests who were supposed to enjoy the luxury of the Rustyhoze Hotel were busy gossiping about Asher, the legitimate heir of the Dixon company. A victorious smile played on Asher's lips as he caught sight of Olivia's shocked and angry face. Darren also seemed unable to accept the fact that Asher was the heir to the Dixon company.Cody bowed deeply in regret, bending before Asher. "As the host of this event, I apologize for the inconvenience, Mr. Asher Dixon. And I also apologize for my daughter's rude behavior."Olivia's and Darren's eyes widened in disbelief. Bowing like this meant that Asher's social status was far higher than theirs."I indeed feel uncomfortable, Mr. Halbert. I feel insulted by the rude behavior of your daughter and your future son-in-law. It seems they need an education in manners at home," said Asher coldly, looking at Olivia with meaningful eyes."Hey, Asher! Watch yo—" Olivia tried to retort, but Cody cut her off quickly. "Olivi

After discussing the licensing and authenticity of the designs, Asher confidently left the party. He had successfully made Olivia and Darren curse in frustration behind him, while Cody looked desperate amid the guests' skeptical and suspicious whispers.Asher stepped out of the party hall, radiating a captivating charismatic aura. In the hotel lobby, he observed a calmer and more peaceful atmosphere, far from the commotion of the party. As he headed towards the exit, his eyes fell upon a woman with long, curly black hair, dressed in work attire paired with a knee-length skirt. Her face looked serious and focused as if something was troubling her.The woman was Alicia Pervaz, a young executive who had recently encountered difficulties. However, Asher did not know her. Alicia, on the other hand, immediately recognized the handsome man approaching her. It was Asher Dixon, the heir to the Dixon company, often featured in the news.Alicia stood by the roadside, struggling with something in

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

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

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

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
