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

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.

He had managed to repay the pain that once haunted him from that treacherous woman. However, there were no signs of anger or resentment left, only a cold satisfaction emanating from Asher's every move.Asher's firm steps echoed down the hallway until he entered his office. He didn't immediately sit in his grand chair but stood by the large window that offered a view of the city.Sunlight streamed into the room, adding a shimmer to his elegant black suit. He then muttered, "The traitors are starting to get restless."The door was knocked on three times, then slowly opened, and Kailos entered, his face serious. "Sir, I need to inform you of something. Alexander's company is pressing for a contract with Ezoc Company again," said Kailos, watching Asher warily. "And I found out that Darren is behind all this."Asher listened calmly, witho

He was contemplating his next plan to avenge the pain and prove that he was not someone to be trampled upon.A knock on the door made Asher get up and open the large door. Standing at the door was Aberon, smiling slightly. The middle-aged man inquired about his well-being and then invited him to his private study.Upon arriving at Aberon's study, Asher sat next to his father, waiting to hear what the middle-aged man wanted to convey. The room was filled with thick books and antique decorations, reflecting Aberon Dixon's authority and power. Behind his large desk, Aberon appeared powerful and wise, though his eyes showed a hint of fatigue.Aberon pulled out a black-covered document and laid it on the table. Then he said, "Establish a partnership with Pervaz Corporation. I know you can be relied upon for investing or buying shares there."Asher furrowed his brow as he read the

    In Halbert's residence, tension filled the air as Cody Halbert questioned Olivia about her progress in winning over Asher. With a sour and cynical expression, Olivia replied that Asher wasn't easy to approach. Cody Halbert then blamed Olivia for her affair with Darren. "If only you hadn't broken up with that guy back then, we wouldn't be in this mess!"Cody stared at Olivia scornfully, calling her a worthless child. "You truly embarrass this family, Olivia. Why can't you be like Asher, successful and accomplished?" he said sharply.Olivia suppressed her boiling emotions, yet maintained her cool demeanor. "I won't let your statements bother me, Father," she said firmly but calmly.Cody Halbert shook his head in annoyance. "You'll never understand the importance of the opportunities I've given you, Olivia.

    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

    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
