It's already one in the morning but I am still sitting in front of my computer. I keep staring at my computer screen in front of me. The cursor in it is blinking on the blank screen as if it's just waiting for me to decide what should I do next. That's because the compiled documents, spread sheets, and illegal evidence we gathered against Patrick Wesley are all ready for release.For two days straight, I gathered a lot of proofs of his crimes together with Robert and Andrew. These are composed of his illegal financial dealings, frauds, faked identities, massive embezzlements and secret under-the-table agreements that will surely destroy his entire career once it gets released to the public. If I wanted to, I can just used this information to bargain with him and make him suffer longer. Or maybe watch him beg in front of him and apologize for being rude to me. But honestly, he is not worth the effort. Patrick Wesley is now a relic of the past. He is just clinging to the power that is

If Chandler fails this one, then he simply proves not only to

And unexpectedly, no one tries to assert any dominance to us after Patrick Wesley got arrested.As for tonight, I hear the loud sound of notification in my phone that indicates I received an email. When I checked it, I can see that it comes from Mrs. Stewart. I blinked my eyes when I see the files attached to her email.

Chandler Logan's POV: The office is dimly lit with the huge fluorescent lights hanging on the ceiling as I enter the security office at New Leaf Corporation. I come here and expecting a normal meeting with Julius Mannell, my manager and discuss my monthly performance. I am also hoping for a promotion since I know to myself that I did a good performance on the last project that I handled. But as I get inside the room, I quuckly feel a tense atmosphere around me. Julius is lounging in his chair while his feet are propped up on the desk. His fingers are flicking the end of his cigar and letting the smoke curls up toward the ceiling. He doesn't bother to look at me as I stand in the doorway. The air around us is almost suffocating. Even without saying anything yet, I can already sense that something is wrong. “Mr. Julius, I heard you wanted to see me?” I said after clearing my throat. Julius looks up and meets my gaze with disdain and amusement in his eyes. “Chandler Logan” he s

I goes straight to the hotel with a pounding heart in my chest. Every step I take feels heavy. I can also feel the confusion, anger, and fear crawling on my chest as if something had already been decided without my knowledge. When Danica gave me the room number over the phone, her tone was full of finality and felt like a slap to my face. When I finally reaches the door and pushes it open, a surreal sight welcomes me in an instant. The room is too luxurious that I can only afford in my dreams. There's a lot of huge furniture everywhere, expensive paintings on the walls, and thick carpets covering the floor. It is a huge contrast to the frugal life I've been living until now. Jannica is sitting on the plush sofa with her mother beside her. They are quietly sipping tea and completely at ease, as if they didn't just invited me here to watch the end of my marriage and my career.

Patrick Wesley is now in trouble. He knows it. Although he managed to stop his company from having their stock to lower more, Patrick still knows it is just a temporary solution.He keeps pacing in his now dimly lit office. The soft light that is coming from his computer screen is making a deep shadow on his face. The way he hold his phone is so tight that his knuckles are turning white in frustration. When he lifts his gazes, Patrick can see the huge headlines flashing on the screen. Centennial Cybersecurity is now bleeding hard. The media storm is relentless and heartless that they continue posting more negative news about their company. The remaining investors they have are also panicking that Patrick is worried that they will soon pull out from their company anytime. Lastly, their company stock is also plunging down by the hour. Chandler Logan had really played his hand masterfully against them. He truly turned the company's own weaknesses against them. And now, Patrick needed a

Mrs. Stewart's chuckle slowly fades when the call ends. I then let out a sigh and taps my finger on my desk. Centennial Cybersecurity made their move against us and they will not just stop at a failed buyout. If they are desperate enough to call me personally, it means they already consider Magnus X a serious threat against them. And when powerhouses like Centennial get desperate, they will surely get dirty just to achieve what they want.After my serious talk with Mrs. Stewart, I gather my team again and starts a meeting. I told them what happened and also what did the Centennial Cybersecurity did to us. When I'm finished talking, I look around and sees different expressions on their faces."Centennial, huh?" Andrew muttered from his seat while half of his focus is still monitoring the firewall. "I already heard about them. Well, it's good to say that I once tried applying to them after we graduated. And obviously, they didn't accept me.""Oh? But you are a talented person in your fi

The old top-tier companies in the tech industry are lashing out because they are seeing us as a threat.But I remain calm and collected. I even have time to enjoy my coffee while watching the news. Instead of getting scared, I am actually enjoying these news. I suddenly feel so big and important because these so-called businessmen are scared of us.As our morning continues to pass, my phone suddenly vibrates. I can see an unknown number calling me but I already have a feeling who it might be. So I answer it while keeping my voice to sound natural."Chandler Logan speaking." I smoothly said. "Who is it?"There is a deep voice answering me on the other line. (Good day, Mr. Logan. I will be direct with you. My name is Patrick Wesley, CEO of Centennial Cybersecurity.)Centennial, huh.
