About seven or eight meters behind the man, precisely behind the window, a pair of eyes filled with vengeance were watching. Those eyes were glaring sharply and angrily at Alexander’s frail body.“Who is that?!” Alexander shouted as he quickly turned around. He sensed someone was watching him. His eyes met the face of someone with a cruel gaze.His heart stopped for a moment, his face pale. The owner of that face was, “Wil-Wilbur?!”***Richard, who had just arrived at The Velvet Fork, didn’t go straight to his room but called Elena to enter a VIP room.“In the next two days, you need to transfer all ownership of Monolith Group. Remember! The news must not get out! Also, we can’t let the people who just got released from detention take over.”“Why is that, Boss?” Elena asked, slightly shocked.“You’ll find out the reason later,” Richard replied with a mysterious smile. “Just make sure to tell them not to take over Monolith Group. If not, they’ll go bankrupt without a trace!”Even thou
“Which group?” Richard asked again to confirm what he heard.“The Skyler Group from the Skyler family. Boss, do you remember the person who helped Reginald prove his identity today?”“Is he the one?” Richard asked.“Exactly! He’s the one!” Elena replied, nodding.Richard nearly cursed but smiled calmly and listened as Elena continued, “Wilona convinced the other Skyler family members and pressured the finance department to send the money to us.”“The main directors at the Skyler Group are rarely in the office; the number of shares held by that director and the other Skyler family members is the same, with both parties owning fifty percent. For the past few years, Wilona has been treated like a princess in that family.”“No one dares to oppose that decision because they are too powerful, Boss. What do you think? Are you satisfied?”Richard glanced briefly at Aurora and then said in a commanding tone, without accepting any objections, “Get the money back! Tell the true Skyler princess t
Wilona suddenly felt a tinge of anxiety. She actually sensed something strange about the drop in the market value of that giant company.But because her mind was clouded by greed, she hastily ordered the finance department to liquidate the funds.However, due to just one command from Aurora, the money was returned to her. If there were indeed plans behind the company’s declining value, then the Monolith Group would not be willing to return the money to Skyler again.On top of that, Wilona always felt that Aurora intended to confront her. Just these two reasons were enough to erase Wilona’s bad thoughts about the Monolith Group.“Why? Don’t you believe in Monolith? Why aren’t you brave enough to use your personal funds? You say I’m just a simpleton who can’t manage a company; you’re so great, right? Why not take over a new company?”“This already proves that your funds aren’t sufficient. One hundred billion is too much for you!” Wilona’s fists were clenched in anger, turning her knuck
The name Roderick Dwayne, once heard in various prominent circles in the country, surely causes a stir among them all. So, when someone questioned the identity of that old man in the country, the tattooed man turned to Richard with a furrowed brow.He looked Richard up and down with a scrutinizing gaze and suspiciously asked, “Who are you? Why are you asking about him? Are you looking for him too?”The man had already received word that lately, many people had come seeking Roderick’s whereabouts, while they were already quite late, having allowed those people to capture Reginald, Roderick’s grandson.Realizing the man’s hostile gaze directed at him made Richard immediately change his expression and smile.“I’ve heard that this man’s medical knowledge is extraordinary. He can bring back the dead, so I intentionally came here to seek his help. As long as he’s willing to assist me, I have no qualms about paying whatever amount he asks.”“I’ve always been curious about who he really is an
A representative from the elite group of Vandrelis Country was standing at the door, his serious face fixed on Richard, who was wearing a leather mask to disguise himself.“You!”“You said the 200 trillion collateral would be returned within 3 days. It’s now been over 3 days, and why hasn’t the money been returned?”Richard showed a hint of shock. He soon slammed the table and shouted, “Bastard! I’ve already returned the money!”He continued, “The money transfer abroad will be subject to a 7% tax. Two days ago, the chamber of commerce in Ligos city transferred the money to Monolith Group.”“Didn’t the chamber of commerce inform you about this beforehand?”The chamber of commerce is an official government body authorized to collect taxes from foreign funds. However, there are many ways for private companies to evade that tax. Including the representative from the elite group of Vandrelis Country, he actually wanted to avoid that tax.The representative’s mood was very mixed at the mom
A moment later, the man from the Everett family picked up a glass of red wine, stood up from his chair, and walked towards Aurora, saying, “Miss Aurora, let’s have a toast!”“A toast? Why should I toast with you?” Aurora retorted sharply.Hearing the unpleasant response, the man’s heart began to feel irritated. “Miss Aurora, don’t you think you’re the oldest woman in the Skyler family since you returned there?”“Now Wilona has spent a fortune to buy Monolith Group, and she’s now the big boss there. Because of your mistake, the Skyler Group lost this opportunity. Do you think Mr. Alexander will forgive you? I doubt it. It won’t be long before you’re kicked out by him.”Hearing this taunt, Aurora only gave a slight smile and was unwilling to respond.The man continued, “Wilona is very favored by Mr. Alexander. Along with her successful acquisition of Monolith Group, she’s now earned the title of the number one businesswoman in Ligos city.”“Miss Aurora, I suggest you fully understand th
Since the first time he met Wilona, Richard always wore a skin mask to disguise himself. But today, he wasn’t wearing it at all.So, when Wilona reached out to grab Richard’s hand, she was utterly shocked and embarrassed. In her heart, Wilona thought, “Why is there someone with a figure so similar to his? Ah... it’s just making me feel embarrassed!” Wilona was currently standing a few meters behind Richard, continuously observing his back and posture. The more she looked, the more convinced she became that it was indeed the great boss himself. “From behind, he looks so much like him, but why does he look different from the front? The great boss must not have arrived yet.” “Aurora, don’t think you can escape from here! I’m engaged to Reginald Dwayne now, and I’m going to take the great boss away from you. This time, I’ll make you look utterly cheap.”“A strong and powerful man is only worthy of me, Wilona Skyler!” Wilona muttered to herself confidently. She believed that the great
Richard stepped forward with clenched fists. The moment he looked into the open room, his emotions erupted.He saw Aurora, who looked confused and terrified. The top button of her blouse was torn, exposing her enchanting collarbone, along with her beautiful necklace.Meanwhile, the people with malicious intent toward her were writhing on the floor, screaming in pain. They clawed at their bodies with their own nails until they bled profusely. The white marble floor was soon covered in blood.“Richard!”“Is that really you? You’re not wearing a mask? Richard!”Aurora suddenly realized Richard’s presence. She looked at her boyfriend with his real face and immediately recalled the face she had seen near the elevator earlier.Realizing her mistake, she rushed forward and threw herself into Richard’s arms.“Calm down, calm! You’re safe now!” Richard said softly as he gently stroked Aurora’s head.“By the way, what happened to them?” Richard asked.Aurora was still confused. Struggling to ex
