Mr. Parker's eyebrow shot up, his gaze locking onto Leander. He paused, his words teetering on the edge of his lips before he sealed his mouth.

Yet Leander's impatience bubbled over as he blurted out, "Come on, say something... You were about to!"

“Yeah, stay calm, I am trying to put things together,” Mr. Parker gave a swift response, his voice tinged with anxiety.

Next, Leander’s mind raced as he struggled to comprehend how the government and the royal officials had discovered his father’s secret riches. Suspicion ate away at him, propelling him back to the day he assumed the presidency of Veritas Conglomerate. A large, enigmatic tension existed between him and Mr. Parker, a mystery yet to be solved.

Leander’s gaze became focused and he posed a demanding question to Mr. Parker, seeking answers.

"Can you be trusted? I just need to know who I'm dealing with. How did my father's wealth get exposed?" His words were slurred.

Mr. Parker's eyebrows shot up in disbelief. "Ah, what are you

    "Fine," Mr. Parker replied, trying to come up with convincing words to make Leander believe him. "I know you believe the rumors about me...."".... But if I had done something disloyal to your father, he would have kicked me out. And I only helped because of him, not for my own gain" Despite his anger, Leander couldn’t help but smirk at Mr. Parker’s words. "I don't need your help. It sucks. It's useless and sickening that you are only looking out for yourself, and not my father or our family's legacy" "Don't act like you're better than everyone else," Leander's voice boomed, filling the air with tension. "But mark my words, I will hunt you down until you are eliminated”Upon hearing such threatening words, Mr. Parker turned to face Leander and reminded him of what he had said."Are you well aware that your statement is a threat to my right to live? That's what I interpreted it to," Mr. Parker muttered.Leander's scowl was deadly as he reassured him, "I won't be the one to end your l

    Once he was done with Mr. Parker, Leander went to pick up his Personal Assistant, Elaine, on the road, as he got ready for another appointment.Within few minutes, Leander and Elaine reached a Bugatti dealership, the sunlight reflecting off the cars’ polished metal and chrome. With a deep breath, he felt a powerful blend of excitement and skepticism. This was it. The moment he had dreamt of for so many years."I think this will definitely be great, master," Elaine, his personal assistant, muttered with a smile. She was always composed, her demeanor professional yet warm. Today, though, there was a sparkle in her eyes, knowing how much this meant to him."I can't believe it's actually happening," Leander replied, his voice tinged with awe. "I've dreamt of this day for so long. Let's do it"Upon entering, they were met with the showroom’s opulent and refreshing interior. A well-dressed salesperson approached them with a welcoming smile."Good afternoon. How can I help you today?"Leand

    “Do you agree, Leander?” Wyatt asked sharply.Leander sighed in relief. “Alright, I guess I have no other choice”“Okay, fine. I will talk to her about it soon,” Wyatt replied. “And I’ll keep you updated.”Sophia shook her head. “No problem. I’ll also get in touch with more people who can help.”As the meeting drew to a close, Leander and Wyatt got up. After Wyatt said goodbye to Leander's mother, they headed to the door, Wyatt carrying his briefcase.Once outside, Leander muttered, “Wyatt, isn’t there someone else who could handle this?”“What?” Wyatt was taken aback. He turned to Leander, searching for words. “I thought you already agreed”“Of course, I’m just wondering if perhaps…” Leander paused, squinting.Wyatt pressed on, “Well, I would go for Brianna or her aunt, Alyssa. They’re the best for the job. The others aren’t trustworthy”“My mom knows many government officials, but she doesn’t have anyone she can trust. We don’t know who’s supporting who,” Leander said, a smirk on hi

Leander sat at the defense table, his hands clasped together tightly. Organizing her papers calmly, Heather Holbrook, his lawyer and one of the best in Ethereum, sat beside him. The judge soon restored order in the courtroom amidst the buzzing murmurs. "All rise," the bailiff announced. "The Honorable Judge Gregory presiding" Everyone stood as Judge Gregory entered, taking his seat behind the bench. "You may be seated" The prosecution lawyer, Mr. Hamilton, stood first. "Your Honor, we are here to address the charges of fraud amounting to £1.5 million against Leander Goldstein. Evidence points to a huge sum of £2 million in his bank account and that's inconsistent with his financial history" Heather rose confidently. "Your Honor, the defense contends that Mr. Goldstein is not guilty. His account funds were given by his father and had no ties to any fr

    "It's possible," Heather said. "I thought you told me that she received £50,000 from Rex on her 19th birthday, right?""Of course, you're right," Leander nodded in confirmation.Heather let out a soft sigh and turned to Leander. "Well, that means we can't rule anyone out."------They arrived at Heather's office, a sleek, modern space exuding professionalism. Inside, Heather's team was already working, compiling data and analyzing records."Any leads?" Heather asked her assistant."Not yet, but we're going through their bank statements and emails," the assistant replied. "It's only a matter of time."Leander sat down, feeling the weight of exhaustion. "I just want this nightmare to end"Heather gave him a reassuring smile. "It will, Leander. We're getting closer. I'll handle everything. Trust me"****One evening, Leander and Lindsey's eyes met once more. As they approached each other with warm smiles, their steps quickened, drawn by an unspoken connection."Hey, Leander. How are you

    Regaining composure, Leander grabbed his phone and dialed his mother's number without hesitation.As she answered, Leander burst out, "Hey, mom. I got mugged by masked thugs on the road a while from now"Sophia's voice spiked with alarm, "What the fuck? Are you okay?""Yes. They only swooped in for the hard drive I got from the vault in dad's office," Leander recounted, anxiety and frustration lacing his words."So, you gave it to them? You know they already got the secret. Maybe we should do away with the issue," Sophia suggested, sounding fed up."Mom, we're still in the game. I'm not quitting now. I saw it coming, so I cleared the drive and played it smart," Leander's announcement filled Sophia with a rush of excitement and determination.With her curiosity sparked, Sophia couldn't help but ask, "If they notice it's empty, won't they come back again?""I bet they won't dare me," Leander said confidently. "But by then, I will have unlocked another door. I will have gotten top-notch

    The meeting abruptly ended. Leander glanced around the room and spotted Brianna making a hasty exit, with Rex right behind her.He quickly ran to close the space between them, but Rex returned to the room where Emma and Robert stayed, leaving Brianna and Leander alone.Leander approached her from behind, feeling the tension in the air. With a deep breath, he couldn't help but feel both excited and anxious. He halted and called her name, his expression glum. "Brianna!"The familiar masculine voice made Brianna whip around, muttering softly with a sigh, "It's you, Leander. How are you doing?"They quickly hugged each other as if nothing has happened between them.Leander, who had been staring at the floor, abruptly turned his attention to her with a smug look on his face. “Not well”“Why?”“Brianna, I must plead with you again in the name of all you believe in. Why are you avoiding me? Your phone went to voicemail when I called. At the gala, you treated me harshly. It’s like you have n

    Leander stretched his legs as the private jet descended toward the coastal paradise of Montevia. The turquoise waters sparkled below, and lush green islands dotted the horizon like emeralds in the ocean. Beside him, Brianna leaned back in her seat, her sunglasses perched atop her golden hair, radiating effortless elegance."This was overdue," she said, her voice soft yet teasing.Leander turned to her with a smile. "Blame the whirlwind of deals, auctions, and diplomatic dinners. But now, I’m all yours."The jet landed smoothly, and they were greeted on the tarmac by a motorcade of luxury SUVs. Montevia was known for its breathtaking landscapes and exclusivity—this wasn’t a place for casual tourists.

    As the evening wound down at the Evans estate, Leander found himself reflecting on how smoothly the dinner had gone. The partnership with the Evans family held tremendous potential, and for the first time in years, the idea of forging alliances felt more natural than adversarial. He was about to leave when Walter extended a hand and stopped him.“Leander, a word before you go?” Walter asked, gesturing toward his study.Curious but composed, Leander nodded. “Of course.”The two entered the dimly lit study, where walls were lined with shelves of leather-bound books. A vintage globe stood by the window, and the scent of aged wood filled the room. Walter closed the door behind them and motioned for Leander to sit in one of the plush chairs by the fireplace.“What’s on your mind?” Leander asked, his tone measured.Walter sat across from him, a serious expression settling over his face. “I need to ask for your discretion, Leander.

    The grand hall of the Thornton estate was resplendent with luxury. Crystal chandeliers sparkled overhead, casting a golden glow on the marble floors, while the walls were adorned with intricate tapestries depicting the family’s storied lineage. It was their annual feast—a celebration of the Thornton legacy, a night to flaunt wealth, power, and influence to the elite of society.Leander stood at the entrance, his sharp suit tailored to perfection. His expression was calm, almost unreadable, but his eyes held a glint of quiet determination. He had been invited, not out of goodwill but as a courtesy and a calculated move by the Thornton family to show they had nothing to fear from him. After all, Leander's recent rise in influence had made him a threat, even to the likes of the Thorntons.As he stepped into the hall, the chatter quieted for a moment. All eyes turned to him. He was an outsider in this circle of established power, yet his presence demanded respect."Leander," Albert Thornt

    Leander stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking out at the skyline. The city below was alive with movement, lights flickering in every direction, but up here, in the quiet of his penthouse, it felt like a different world. He took a slow sip of whiskey, feeling the warmth spread through him. The quiet of the evening was a rare gift, one he appreciated more than he let on.The sound of the door opening behind him brought his attention back to the present. Wyatt walked in, his usual easygoing demeanor at odds with the tension in his posture."What's got you in such a rush?" Leander asked, his voice low but carrying a note of curiosity.Wyatt closed the door softly behind him, walking across the room to join Leander by the windows. "Just came from a meeting with the board. It's about the next quarter." He paused, eyeing the glass in Leander's hand. "You're drinking already?"Leander smirked, taking another sip. "Some days, it feels necessary."Wyatt shook his head but didn't commen

    As the evening stretched into night, the two friends returned to their seats, the conversation flowing easily once more. They discussed upcoming projects, potential collaborations, and their shared vision for the future. “You know,” Wyatt said, swirling the last of his whiskey, “we should do this more often. Just sit back and talk, no agendas or deadlines looming over us.” “I’d like that,” Leander said, a rare note of vulnerability in his voice. “It’s easy to lose sight of what really matters when you’re caught up in the grind.” Wyatt nodded, raising his glass. “To friendship, then. The one thing that’s worth more than all the deals in the world.” Leander clinked his glass against Wyatt’s, the sound ringing out like a promise.The conversation deepened as the night drew on, the city lights sparkling in the background.

    The late afternoon sun cast a golden glow over the expansive terrace of Wyatt’s penthouse. The panoramic view of the city was breathtaking, with skyscrapers reflecting the sun’s brilliance and the streets below teeming with life. Leander leaned back in one of the plush armchairs, a tumbler of whiskey resting on the table in front of him. Across from him, Wyatt lounged in his usual carefree manner, his tie loosened and the top button of his shirt undone.“So,” Wyatt began, swirling the amber liquid in his glass, “how’s Brianna handling your new found glory as a corporate savior?”Leander chuckled, shaking his head. “She’s proud, of course, but she keeps reminding me not to let it get to my head. Says she doesn’t want to live with an ego the size of this penthouse.”Wyatt laughed, the sound rich and genuine. “Smart woman. You’d be insufferable if you started taking yourself too seriously.”“Says the man who had a custom portrait commissioned for his office,” Leander shot back, smirking.
