2024-10-29 19:42:56Damian was astounded upon hearing those words. He knew Nicole as a prideful and entitled woman, who would never apologize even though she was wrong.
‘But seeing her right now, I think she grew as much as I do. Her presence isn’t very arrogant now unlike when I saw her before,’ Damian thought.
And because he was pondering too much, he wasn’t able to respond to Nicole.
As Nicole saw Damian’s silence, she thought it was a refusal of her apology. Despite being hurt,
“We didn’t have a good impression on our first encounter, and as you stayed here, my only goal was to defeat you. I hated how I remembered my situation just by looking at you, and that is why I hated you so much, but not anymore,” Nicole explained, he

“Damian!” Anya called, smiling ear to ear as she approached Damian. “What took you so long? Don’t you have any idea how long we have been waiting for you?” she added to ask, slightly teasing him.Damian only chuckled as his gaze went to the flowers Anya was holding. “Don’t tell me that it is for me?”“Alright. I won’t tell you,” Anya replied, slightly giggling. “Well, kidding aside…yeah. I asked my people to prepare tons of roses to celebrate your promotion as a full-time employee. Do you know that purple roses symbolize success?”“Now I know.” Damian tried suppressing his smile and acting neutral but failed. Seconds later, he found himself smiling widely as he took the bouquet of roses from Anya’s hand. “This is the only bouquet I will get since I’m not planning to build a flower shop,” Damian jokes, and Anya laughs sweetly because of that. “But I appreciate this. Thank you for giving me a warmhearted welcome like this, Anya.”“It is no biggie. I’m just happy for your success, and

“WHAT is it?” Damian asked, his brows furrowing, and his tone laced with amusement and curiosity at the same time.“Well, it is something you will know soon. Very soon,” replied Dollie in a proud tone. “Anyway, I’m already discharged from the hospital, and I’m going back to school in a couple of days. No need to visit me, okay?”“I will visit you outside your dorm.”“How hard-headed you are. I just said that you don’t need to visit me not long ago.” Dollie chuckled and shook her head, feeling happy that he had someone to treat as an older brother like Damian. “I will stay somewhere in the meantime, so I won’t be in the dorm.”“But I thought you would go back to school in a couple of days?” Damian raised an eyebrow, confused.“I will figure it out, don’t worry. So, stop asking me questions and focus on your work, okay?” Dollie told Damian in a slightly high-pitched tone. “I don’t know that much about the Ferremento Corporation, but their company standards are way higher than ours.”“I

[Corporate Communications: Manages external and internal communications, including public relations and employee communication.]“External and internal communications? Does it mean I would need to communicate often to someone?” Damian asked, his brows furrowing.“Yes, young master.” Poppy nodded. “But since the Ferremento Corporation is a large company, we separated the external and internal communications from each other.”Damian flipped the page and saw what Poppy was talking about. However, he was having a hard time understanding what was written on those pages, so Poppy explained it to him.“The internal communications have a separate sub-department, while the external communications were further divided into more teams such as media and public relations, events, and sponsorships, government and regulatory affairs, and more.”“Alright. Thank you,” Damian said, his gaze fixated on the paper. “Why are there so many sub-departments in the Corporate Communications department, given th

“NO, it’s not like that,” Carson replied, shaking his head. “I’m just genuinely worried about Ava’s health. It is my number one priority now, and even Father understands it, too.”“You mean, Veron knew about this?” Cielo raised an eyebrow.“Yes.” Carson nodded. “I talked to him about this, and he understood my point. I hope I will also get your permission for this. We will only live here until Ava gives birth to our child. Nothing more, nothing less.” His words were begging, yet his tone was authoritative.However, Cielo didn’t answer immediately as he was still contemplating the situation. ‘It wouldn’t have any problem if Ava married someone else, but this is Carson—the Ferremento family’s heir. Once the press knew about this, it could affect how people perceive Carson and could have a negative impact on our family as well.’“How nice of you to prioritize Ava’s health and happiness more than your own, Carson,” Helena said, smiling, and she looked at Cielo afterward. “He is such a g

IT WAS Dollie in her pink floral dress, a pink suitcase in her hand, and her expression mirroring Carson and Ava. She was just as confused as them. “What are the two of you doing here?” asked Dollie, pulling the luggage in the living room with force. It was slightly heavy, given that she brought lots of clothes, so she had a hard time.“Let me help you,” Carson said as he walked toward Dollie and took the luggage with her. Their skin brushed against each other, making Dollie step back and take the luggage again. “Thank you, brother-in-law, but I can manage. Don’t worry.”“How rude, Dollie,” Ava scoffed as she stood up and crossed her arms. “Don’t you know that if someone offers their help, you should take it no matter what?”“I don’t need his help in the first place. Why would I be obligated to take it?”“You!” Ava gritted her teeth as she burst into a rage. “What are you doing in my house, anyway? I can’t even remember you being welcome here.”“Your house, huh…” Dollie said nonchal

“SO THAT is why you are acting high and mighty, huh? Do you really think you are worthy now because Dad already gave you the management rights of one of the subsidiaries?” Ava asked, crossing her arms. “He is just using you, stupid.” Ava’s tone was condescending in purpose because she wanted to lower Dollie’s morale. That tactic was effective for the past few years, so she never stopped mocking and ridiculing Dollie until she became under her control. However, this time, Dollie reacted differently. “And so?” Dollie asked, raising an eyebrow. “Huh?” “What I perceive about myself isn’t your business, nor what other people are doing to me. You are happy when I’m suffering, right?” Dollie asked, grinning wickedly. “You should be happy now that Dad is just using me for whatever reason, but what’s with the different reaction?” “You fucking bitch!” Fuming mad, Ava raised her right hand as she was about to slap Dollie, but she didn’t expect what happened next. With her petite hands, Dol

IF THE employees were smiling at Damian earlier, now, they looked like they saw walking trash. Some of them went back to their seats like they didn’t see anyone, while some employees even dared to gossip with Damian around.“Tch. Who does he think he is? Does he think we will submit to him just because he is a manager?”“Manager my ass. I’m sure that Sir Veron is just overestimating his skills. He doesn’t deserve to be a manager in the first place.”“You are right, girl. I don’t care how handsome and popular he is. If he dares to do something that will ruin our operation here, I will immediately report him to the higher-ups!”Those three young employees walked past Damian, but instead of stopping their gossip, they continued talking with louder voices this time like they didn’t care about Damian. At all.‘How rude,’ said Damian at the back of his mind, shaking his head in disappointment. ‘I thought the employees here were friendlier than employees at the Mid-Century Elegance Events si

[THANK YOU for reporting about this matter to the human resources department, and giving a piece of crucial evidence to support it. We will investigate this carefully, and take proper disciplinary action against the people involved.We will also make sure this will never happen again. We apologize for the inconvenience, Sir.]“W-What did you do?” Bridget muttered, looking at the screen in disbelief. “And what is the evidence they are talking about?”“Oh. This?” Damian smirked as he clicked something on his phone. There, his conversation with Bridget played in the recording. “I recorded our conversation because in case you cross the line, this will come in handy. And I’m right.”“You recorded it illegally. That wouldn’t be admissible as evidence!” Bridget grunted.“If it will be passed to court, yes. But it is different when it comes to an internal workplace investigation,” Damian explained. “At the Ferremento Corporation, it is not prohibited to send illegally taken recordings to file

Epilogue: The Last Retaliation
THE hostage-taking Carter did in the warehouse spread in various news channels like wildfire. Everyone was shocked because of his sudden escape from prison, making the residents afraid for their safety, knowing that the management wasn’t doing their job properly to monitor the prisoners.With that, the warden and his apprentices, who were also under Carter’s authority, were fired from their jobs. They were replaced by a management who cared about their citizens, removing the patronage system in the prison, and bringing back justice at the same time.Due to Carter’s crimes being in high intensity, he was transferred to a high-security prison. Carter could only laugh as his mind was still in the past, thinking how rich and powerful he was, even though that wasn’t the case now.Carter had already gone insane, but it was only the beginning of his suffering.“At last, you finally arrived,” Catelyn, who was waiting in Carter’s cell, greeted. “Did you miss me?”“What are you doing here?” Cart

Chapter 336: Let's End This Now
THE lights were flickering, adding tension in the air, as Damian entered the warehouse alone. He doesn’t have any guns or other weapons with him, nor he didn’t call anyone like Carter instructed.Damian was on high alert as he continued walking when suddenly, two men wearing full black clothes started to approach him with their guns.‘Fuck,’ cursed Damian at the back of his mind, seeing how helpless he was right now.Especially after seeing Ava tied to the chair, his mouth gagged, while Catela is sleeping in the crib beside her.Despite the situation, he couldn’t give up. Damian needed to save himself along with Ava and Catela and end this fight with Carter so it wouldn’t repeat.The two men tied Damian’s hands and feet to the chair, but unlike Ava, they didn’t gag him.“It is so unusual to see how obedient you are. I never thought you could do it,” Carter, who appeared from the shadows, smirked upon seeing Damian being helpless. “That’s right. They will always be safe as long as you

“That was not enough for all the bullshit you did to me before. But for now, let’s call it even," Damian said.Carson only shook his head as he wiped the blood on his lips before leaving the house. And the only thing that was running through his mind was how strong Damian’s punch was… before until now.THE NEXT morning, Carson didn’t just confess what he did to the board members, but he conducted a press conference to publicly apologize to Damian. He knew that Damian deserved to clear his name and regain his reputation, and although his public apology wasn’t enough, he still did it to show his sincerity.“Starting today, Carson Ferremento is now terminated as the CEO, and will face two years of suspension because of him ruining the Ferremento Corporation’s reputation,” Piper announced, her tone colder than usual. “The position will go back to Damian Giovanni Ferremento.”Carson smiled sadly, but he knew he needed to accept the consequences of his actions.However, since Damian had a

“That bastard. He told you that even though you have a husband?” Carson asked, his teeth gritting.“Well, this is just an arranged marriage, and he knows it.” Ava shrugged. “To be honest, I would marry a man like him although he isn’t the richest, than stay with a puppet like you, who only knows how to follow someone else—”“Here,” Carson interjected, giving Ava the signed papers. “I will let you take Catela because I need to deal with something, but I will take her away from you once I'm done.”“Hah. As if I will let you do that.” Ava scoffed and rolled her eyes. “Thank you for this, Carson. Catela will benefit so much from this.”And as if Ava was waiting for this to happen, when she went again to their bedroom to take Catela, she already had her luggage with her and was talking to someone.“Yes, he already signed the divorce paper, and I’m all set…” Ava said, smiling from ear to ear. “Oh, your bodyguard is outside the house already? Alright. I will let him in.”Ignoring Carson, Ava

Chapter 333: History Repeats Itself
After Carter went out of the house unnoticed, that was the only time Carson could breathe properly. He didn’t even realize he was suppressing his breath because of fear.‘Is that really the brother I used to be with ever since I was a child?’ Carson thought, his heart racing, as he leaned into a tree. ‘We are family. Why would he threaten me like that? Is the company and the organization more important to him than me?’And upon asking himself that question, Carson got his answer. Carter wouldn’t mind killing everyone who would be a hindrance to his plans, and he is not an exemption.His gaze went to the house—Something he had because of Carter. Everything he had was him, not giving Carson any chance to carve out his own identity. He was only known for his surname, and for all his careless actions when he was in teenager days.The only thing he had that wasn’t connected with Carter was Dollie, whom he took for granted, and now his family; Ava, his wife, and Catela, their child.“Ava,”

Realizing that Damian needs him right now, Veron took his phone and called a number. It was someone he thought he would never talk with again.“Veron,” Charlie Wiles, the CEO of the Legion Mercenaries, called. “It has been a long time, huh? What do you need this time?”“I have to ask you for a favor,” Veron replied.“A favor?” Charlie raised an eyebrow. “If it is about our operations, I’m sorry, but I need to decline. You know that we can’t take clients in other countries other than Colossia, right?”“I know that. You are not taking me as a dumb person, aren’t you?” Veron shot back, his voice laced with irritation now. “I need someone I trust to do this task for me, and I’m willing to pay any amount you want for it.”“Any amount, huh? Talking to rich people is different.” Charlie chuckled on the other line, yet he became serious afterward. “But alright, deal. What is it that you want me to do?”“I want you to find Correl Ferremento’s location and kill him,” Veron commanded, his tone s

“Carson,” Damian called as his eyes darkened in anger. “It is you, isn’t it?”“If you are asking about the new CEO of this company, yes. It’s me,” Carson answered, smirking, as he placed the documents he brought to the table. “Why? Are you surprised that a person who was once a happy-go-lucky like me would be chosen to replace you?”“Why would I be surprised if you planned everything for this to happen?” Damian shot back, the annoyance evident in his tone. “Seeing you in front of me now just strengthens my hunch. It was you who messed up with the data. How could you?”Carson’s smirk widened. He didn’t answer. Instead, he stood proudly in the middle with his arms folded.“I’m not here because of the shitty things you accuse me of, but because I have given the board of directors a proposal strategy that you can’t provide.” Carson slid the document in front of Damian. “Here. Look at this.”Damian didn’t move at first, but a few seconds later, he took the folder and looked at its contents

Chapter 330: The New CEO
“Young master,” James, whom Damian called, answered on the other line. “Young master Carson is still doing his old routine; working in his office the whole day and going home afterward.”“How certain are you?” Damian asked.James’ brows furrowed, but he still answered in a polite tone, “I’m always monitoring him, young master. I didn’t even let him out of my sight.”“I know, but something might have happened that slipped your notice,” Damian said, his tone low and serious. “The Ferremento Corporation is in chaos right now, and I’m sure Carson is involved with it. I need you to think carefully.”James obliged. The tip of his brows pressed harder on each other upon recalling the surveillance, and his lips widened as he remembered something.“There was one incident. A few days ago, Miss Ava Medivien bumped into me and caused a commotion. For a moment, I lost sight of young master Carson’s office,” confessed James. “But it was only for a few seconds.”“And that is the only amount of time t
