News of Thimphon's dismissal without honor and subsequent investigation by the prosecutor's office made William furious. Since Asher's rise to power, all of William's efforts and schemes had felt futile. He felt a burning sense of helplessness in his chest. All the plans he had devised over the years to maintain his power now seemed to crumble before his eyes. Even the support from his brother was never received; William despised Aberon and Aberon's descendants.William was sitting in his spacious office, surrounded by mahogany wood walls and rows of business books. His mind was in chaos, filled with frustration and uncontrollable anger. Just then, the door to his office opened, and Holmes Alexander entered with a face full of despair.William's eyes followed Holmes as he approached, his gaze sharp. Without asking, he knew why Holmes had come to his office. He must be asking for help from the chaos created by Asher."William, please," said Holmes with a trembling voice, his eyes full
Asher stared intently at Alicia. It seemed like for the last week, he didn’t have any free time. There were so many things he needed to do to finish his work."It seems like I'm quite busy. If I get some free time, I'll let you know," Asher said, feeling a bit guilty.Alicia nodded in understanding. She knew that Asher was a leader and always busy with company matters. "Alright. I'll wait for your good news."Alicia got up from her seat, ready to leave. Before going, she told Asher that she wanted to stop by the marketing director's office to discuss something. Asher agreed with a nod.After Alicia left, Asher leaned back on the sofa, closing his eyes for a moment to ease the fatigue gnawing at him. Then he glanced at his watch, showing it was late afternoon. It had been a long and stressful day, and he hadn't had any rest.Suddenly, the phone on his desk rang. Asher reached for it and answered with a serious tone. "Asher here.""Mr. Asher, this is Joseph." The voice on the other end
Asher was still at the hotel, specifically in a special room known only to Joseph and Kailos. In that room, Asher rechecked the monitor screen displaying 3D movements outside the hotel. His eyes remained focused, trying to track what was happening out there.The opening of Asher's hotel was a huge success, with many tourists staying at his hotel, adding to his pride. Although it was just a continuation project, there were many changes that Asher had implemented.Suddenly, Kailos received a phone call. The man's face turned serious as he listened to a report from the security team. "Mr. Asher, the person sabotaging your hotel is Christian, the same one who tried to disrupt the hotel opening a few weeks ago."Asher frowned, staring at Kailos intensely. "Really? Where is Christian now?""He is being chased, sir. Our security team is pursuing him," Kailos answered firmly.Asher nodded, his mind racing. "Good. I will try to track Christian's whereabouts with the data I noted earlier."Ashe
Christian did not leave immediately when Joseph dragged him out of the old building. Instead, he returned, holding a knife from his jacket pocket. With eyes full of rage, Christian ran towards Asher. However, before he could reach Asher and stab him in the stomach, Wilson intercepted him, twisting Christian's right arm behind his back and bringing him to the ground."Argh! Damn you! I will get back at you, damn Asher!" Christian screamed in fury, spitting in Asher's direction.Kailos quickly moved the knife away from the vicinity. The situation, which could have turned much worse, was averted, but the tension in the air thickened.Seeing Christian struggling under his feet, Asher knelt, staring sharply at Christian. Asher's hand gripped the man's chin, forcing Christian to look directly at him. However, Christian quickly turned his face away, avoiding Asher's rough grip."You think you can stay in your position, huh?!" Christian continued to vent his frustrations. Since Asher took ove
Asher didn’t go straight home to his mansion. There were a few things he needed to take care of. Memories of Darren begging flashed in his mind, bringing a satisfied smile to his face. Asher loosened his tie, his eyes watching the road ahead, trying to stay focused. He deliberately chose not to use a driver, preferring to drive himself.A short while later, Asher’s luxurious car stopped at an old abandoned building far from the city. There was something important Asher needed to do here, especially to teach a lesson to those who had betrayed him.Asher got out of the car, having placed his formal jacket in the back. He wore only a white shirt with a loose tie. His jet-black hair looked disheveled, with the gentle breeze slightly ruffling it.Asher’s steps took him into the 17-story old building. The night atmosphere around the building felt eerie. The dim neon lights added a gloomy and tense impression.Joseph, who was trusted as Asher’s bodyguard, bowed respectfully as his master ent
Asher blinked as sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains. The noise outside his room forced him to open his eyes and walk towards the knocking door.Joseph, Asher's trusted confidant and right-hand man after Kailos, stood in the doorway. His face appeared neutral, but the emotions behind his eyes were evident. This made Asher frown, waiting for Joseph to deliver the news."Sir, you should get ready to head to the office. Kailos has been trying to reach you repeatedly," Joseph said firmly."Is there a problem?" Asher asked, rubbing his face in frustration.Asher's gaze shifted across the hall, seeing Aberon hurrying, followed by Wilson and five bodyguards. Asher glanced back at Joseph."Tell me. What's the issue this time?" Asher asked, ready to confront those causing trouble.Joseph bowed deeply. After taking a slow breath, Joseph lifted his head to look at Asher. "Sir, the ArgonChem production plant caught fire last night. Mr. Aberon is heading to the site. Meanwhile, Kail
The atmosphere felt quiet in Asher's room. Alicia's words successfully made Asher silent. He didn’t understand Alicia's meaning at all. Was it wrong for them to meet because of work?Alicia noticed the awkwardness caused by her words. "Ah, I mean... surprisingly, we always meet just to talk about work," she said with a laugh, trying to ease the tension by showing her teeth.Asher cleared his throat, looking at the corner of the room before returning his gaze to Alicia. "So, if your product doesn’t launch on the target date, what will happen?" he asked seriously, changing the topic to reduce the awkwardness.Alicia took a deep breath, her face turning serious. "It will be a big blow to the company, especially since my team has invested a lot of time and resources in preparing for this launch. But I believe we can find a solution together. Besides, I’m not just producing lipstick and powder for my cosmetics; Mr. Victor and I are also producing perfume."Asher looked at her intently. "Re
Alicia paused for a moment, then quickly nodded and looked at Asher. "He's an old friend, we went to the same school and even the same university. I just know his name and face. If you're asking if we're close, I don't think so." Asher nodded in response. He felt a strong aura of hostility from Kaylery Barnnet. He didn't know why Kaylery looked at him that way. The last time he saw him at the hotel opening party, Kaylery's aura also seemed unfriendly. "By the way, if ArgonChem still can't continue your production, would you want me to shift your products to BOWWS Company?" Asher tried to persuade her again. He had just received a message from Kailos on his phone, saying that it would take a long time for ArgonChem to resume production. Alicia sighed, looking intently at Asher's face. A smile reappeared on her face. "Alright, I'll leave everything to you. I trust you, Asher." "Thank you, Alicia. I'm just worried that your products and the project you're working on will be delaye
