2024-10-29 19:42:56After 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 Kailos say that Dixon has had a long-standing partnership with Halbert?” Asher frowned, feeling something was off with the contract between Dixon and Halbert.
Wilson was about to answer Asher’s confusion but stopped when Aberon entered Asher’s office. Wilson stood up and greeted his master.
Aberon took a seat next to Asher. He picked up a sheet of paper from the desk, read it briefly, then looked at Asher with a thin smile. “Because the head of Halbert Company is an old friend of Mr. William. That’s why the partnership has lasted longer than with Rudwick,” Aberon explained, addressing Asher’s confusion.
Asher cleared his throat softly. He looked intently at Aberon, his eyebrows still furrowed, unsatisfied with his father’s answer. “So, even though Dixon uses furniture from Rudwick, the partnership with Halbert continues?”
Aberon nodded affirmatively. “That’s correct! Because the other subsidiaries need different furniture from different manufacturers. Therefore, the partnership with Halbert remains unbroken.”
Asher nodded in understanding. No wonder the funds channeled by the subsidiaries were substantial. It turned out their leader was an old friend. Asher glanced at Wilson, signaling him to hand over the documents about the fund flows from Dixon’s subsidiaries. It was quite satisfying to resolve such issues. It made Asher eager to uncover irregularities and the dark side of the business world.
Aberon received the neatly clipped documents from Wilson. His eyes conveyed curiosity as he read the contents. “What documents are these?” Aberon asked while reading the text on the document.
As he moved closer to Aberon, Asher said, “These are the investment fund reports from Ezoc Company, Dad. I got these reports from Kailos and Mr. Wilson Leonester.”
Asher pointed to the suspicious figures in the document and then flipped to the next page. “The investment funds that were supposed to go to the education foundation were funneled to Halbert Company. Should a partnership with another company require such large amounts?”
“Not just to Halbert Company. Uncle also channeled funds to another subsidiary, BOWS Company. It seems Uncle’s actions were to seek greater profits from both companies,” Asher continued, explaining every detail of the figures in the document.
Aberon glanced briefly at Wilson, then looked meaningfully at Asher. He patted his son’s shoulder lightly, a proud smile on his face. “You’ve only been working a few days, but you’ve already found discrepancies in our company. I’m proud of your work!”
Asher gave a thin smile. His heart felt strange; it was the first time he felt sincerity in being praised. “I’m just doing my job, Dad. So, what will you do to handle this problem?”
Aberon seemed to think for a moment, then murmured, “I’ll send an audit team to investigate Ezoc Company. If William is proven to have embezzled company funds, I will take over the company.”
Asher agreed with Aberon. They needed to send an audit team to investigate the subsidiary. After that, he could carry out his plan to embarrass Olivia and Halbert Company.
Asher looked convincingly at Aberon. “As for Halbert Company, leave it to me. I’ll inform them about the cancellation of the hotel construction project and involve the audit team in investigating their company.”
Aberon agreed with Asher. He ordered Wilson with full intimidation, “Wilson, contact the audit team to investigate the investment funds at Ezoc Company. Seize all funds flowing from the main company to the subsidiary! Also, arrange a meeting with William for me at the pavilion tomorrow!”
Asher smiled contentedly. The path to avenging the two traitors was surprisingly easy. He couldn’t wait to attend Halbert Company’s anniversary party tomorrow. He was curious about Olivia’s reaction when she learned about the corruption at Halbert.
Asher contacted Kailos, giving him orders, “Kailos, besides the contract cancellation, please prepare the license documents for the two designs and publicize the embezzlement of funds at Ezoc Company!”

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 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

Asher waved politely as the car moved off, then turned around, ready to head back to the office.However, his steps abruptly halted as Olivia suddenly appeared before him.

The encounter with Olivia left a tumult of emotions in mind. A faint smile was etched on Asher's lips, and a sense of satisfaction emanated from his gaze.

Asher sat in the company’s boardroom, positioned at the head of a long table adorned with piles of documents and an open laptop. His sharp eyes tracked the presentation displayed on the projector screen, where Kailos explained the potential of the LuseCraft and Rudwick partnership. Kailos’s calm voice filled the room as he outlined the opportunities this collaboration could bring.Yet, Asher’s thoughts drifted elsewhere. He wasn’t just listening to his employees’ spoken words—he was hearing the unspoken ones, the thoughts streaming loudly from the minds of those seated around the table. Ever since discovering the magical ring, Asher’s newfound ability had proven useful, though it sometimes felt more like a curse. Today was one of those aggravating days."Rudwick? Such a small company? There’s nothing to expect from a place like that. Honestly, this is idiotic.""Why does Asher keep wasting the company’s resources on this? William would never have taken a risk like this.""He’s way too

Asher slowly removed his tie and tossed it onto the small table beside the sofa. The formal jacket he had worn earlier had already been draped over the backrest of the sofa, and now his body sank into the soft support. He massaged the stiffness in his neck, exhaling deeply, as though trying to relieve burdens that were not just physical. The room was silent, with only the faint ticking of a wall clock breaking the stillness.Asher’s thoughts wandered, but they did not settle on the numbers in his reports or the plans for developing new construction projects under Dixon’s subsidiary. Instead of focusing on those documents, his mind drifted to Alicia. Her name resurfaced in his thoughts, as if it occupied a special space that constantly demanded his attention. Asher couldn’t push it away.A small smile curved on his lips as the memory of their kiss resurfaced. His lips moved unconsciously, as though tasting again the warmth and softness that had touched them that day. "Crazy," Asher mur

In the dim corner of a bar, Waldric gulped down his drink quickly, trying to drown the bitterness of his life with every sip. His mind was full, chaotic—Asher had discarded him just like that, like a pedestrian stepping on filth in the street without a care. Waldric's gaze was filled with hatred and smoldering anger, but underneath, there was also a gnawing sense of frustration.A cold voice interrupted his thoughts. "There's no point in staying here, sulking, Waldric."Waldric looked up, narrowing his eyes at the figure standing before him—Kaylery Barnnet. A thin, meaningful smile played on Kaylery's face, his gaze like a snake ready to strike."What do you want?" Waldric's tone was defensive, his voice tinged with curiosity.Kaylery chuckled softly, unbothered, and slowly took the seat beside him uninvited. "My intention is simple. You want revenge, don’t you? Seems like we share a common enemy, Waldric."Waldric straightened up, feeling skeptical. "So, you just want to offer help?

Alicia buried her face in the pillow, her body squirming with embarrassment on the bed. The memory of the moments with Asher earlier felt so vivid, replaying in her mind like a never-ending movie. "What did I say earlier?" she thought, frustrated with herself."At least I managed to hide my feelings. I don't want Asher to feel disgusted seeing me act like that," she muttered. Alicia let out a long sigh, then stared at the ceiling of her room."What's wrong with me?" she asked softly, her voice filled with confusion. She closed her eyes again for a moment, imagining Asher’s handsome and calm face every time they met."I want Asher."That whisper felt too real, always echoing in her mind so clearly. It wasn’t just about Asher’s physical attractiveness, but his charismatic aura and decisiveness that captivated Alicia. He was a man who could lead, who could take control, and that was something Alicia had always dreamed of.A small smile formed on her lips as Asher’s image appeared in her

There was a clear curiosity in Kailos's eyes about the outcome of Asher's visit to BOWWS Company.As Asher approached, Kailos couldn’t hold back from asking, "How did it go, sir?"Asher simply gave a brief smile, one whose meaning few could understand. "Smooth. BOWWS Company is now in my hands," he replied with a tone full of confidence.Kailos, who had already suspected this victory, smiled with satisfaction. "I’m glad to hear it," he said sincerely, walking alongside Asher as he began discussing other important matters. "Sir, there’s something else we need to talk about—regarding LuseCraft and your upcoming meeting with Aldric Pervaz."Hearing Aldric Pervaz's name, Asher's steps slowed. His eyebrows furrowed deeply.

However, due to Waldric's insistence on meeting to settle the inheritance dispute, Asher had no choice but to meet him and end it as soon as possible.Asher stood facing the large window, his posture straight and his expression neutral, though the atmosphere around him felt tense. Beside him was Waldric, staring at him with eyes full of anger, as if he wanted to devour Asher alive. Waldric was clearly displeased with the changes at BOWWS Company, especially the fact that the company was now under Asher’s control.“Does being the heir give you the right to act so arrogantly?” Waldric began, his voice cold and full of hatred. “Don’t you feel greedy, Asher?”Asher merely raised one eyebrow, remaining unaffected by Waldric’s outburst. His eyes continued to gaze out the window, overlooking the courtyard of BOWWS Company, watching the employees busy with t

The soft rays of the sun slipped through the gap in the curtains of Asher's room, gradually warming the space. Asher opened his eyes, feeling refreshed after a long sleep—something he rarely got these days. He stretched his muscles, then slowly sat up, leaning his back against the headboard. His thoughts immediately drifted to the previous night—the moment when he unintentionally kissed Alicia.His lips curled into a small, almost hidden smile. For a moment, he covered his face with his hands, feeling slightly embarrassed. "What have I done?" he thought. But the more he tried to ignore it, the clearer that moment replayed in his mind.His memory took him back to when he could hear Alicia's thoughts and feelings spilling out, full of confusion and wonder. Those voices, which usually bothered him, now made him chuckle softly. He could hear how nervous and embarrassed Alicia had felt, yet at the same time, her heart had raced after their kiss.“She didn’t push me away, did she? In fact…,

Asher felt the growing awkwardness as Heinry deliberately left the two of them alone at the dining table. The atmosphere in the restaurant, which was previously filled with business conversations, now felt quiet, with just him and Alicia. Even though they often met, it felt different when it was just the two of them. Asher tried to stay calm, though Alicia’s thoughts continued to whisper in his ear. He wished he could stop his ability for a moment, to focus on the conversation, not the mix of thoughts running through her mind. Alicia glanced at him occasionally, as if waiting for Asher to start talking. Feeling awkward because of the sudden silence, Alicia finally decided to shift the topic. "What about BOWWS Company, Asher? Have you fully taken control?" she asked, her voice soft, but there was a hint of curiosity she couldn't hide. Asher sighed and placed his nearly empty glass of water down. "It should be settled," he replied, looking at Alicia. "But Waldric is still trying t

CHAPTER 102
Asher sat in his newly established office, specifically created for LuseCraft, a home goods and property company under the Dixon umbrella. Since its founding, LuseCraft had just begun to take off after Halbert Company went bankrupt, especially since Asher initiated partnerships with several major players in the property industry. The primary focus of LuseCraft was to create high-quality products for home interiors, ranging from furniture and kitchenware to innovative home decor. However, the company also had ambitious plans to expand into real estate development, including luxury housing and modern apartments.With a calm and professional demeanor, Asher looked at the stack of contracts waiting for his signature. One of the most important was the partnership agreement with Rudwick Company, which had long been a leader in the property sector. This partnership was crucial for LuseCraft to gain broader market access. Asher wanted to ensure everything went smoothly, particularly regarding
