Few days later, After arresting Logan Pierce, Brian was quite proud of himself. Marcus quit working at the Diadem Holdings to take care of his wife. Since Jane was fired, It was required for Brian to have a new boss. Deep down, Brian wished for his new boss to be better than Jane. At the same time as he was working on a file, a young man strode in. He was dressed neatly, and his face was extremely cold. Brian frowned. His boss was a man this time? As he approached Brian, his brows furrowed in confusion, “You must be the Junior assistant.” Silas said as he gazed at Brian, and Brian nodded, “Yes sir.” Silas sighed, “Alright. We have a lot of work to do. Meet me in my office.” he said as he walked into his office which was at the back of Brian's designated desk. Silas sat down calmly and turned to Brian, “I'm sure you must have heard that the Blueprint is already completed? They're presently building the model, and we'll be required to test everything about it. I'm sure you know that
Brian hung up the call with James, a Tycoon 6 member, and turned to Frank with a determined look. "I'm leaving New field City, Frank. The Duke's Empire is in a mess, and I need to take control of the situation."Frank nodded in understanding. "I'll take care of things here, Henry. But be careful, this is a deliberate attempt to ruin your reputation and take you down."Brian's face set in a firm resolve. "I won't let them win, Frank. I'll clear my name and restore investor confidence. The Duke's Empire will not go down without a fight."With a swift nod, Brian turned and left Frank's office, his mind racing with strategies and ways to tackle them. He knew the road ahead would be tough, but he was determined to protect the Duke Empire and his reputation.As he arrived at the airport, Brian's phone rang again. This time, it was Albert, his trusted butler. "Master, the situation is getting worse. The board of directors is demanding your presence and investors are pulling out left and righ

In a well furnished building, Rodger had a delighted grin on his face as he stared at Martin, who was thanking him from the bottom of his heart. “That's okay. This is just the beginning. Let's just hope this plays, and that Brian would never counterattack this plan. If that should happen, I'm afraid there's nothing else I can do.” Rodger said calmly. Martin's furrowed his brows in confusion, “Boss, what do you mean? You promised to destroy Brian to the end. Why are you saying this?” Maya turned to Martin, her face twisted in an ugly scowl, “How dare you question him!” she snapped. Frightened, Martin immediately lowered his gaze, “I'm sorry, boss.” he whispered. Rodger turned to Maya, giving her an assuring gaze, “It's okay.” He then said, “I know I promised to help you destroy Brian to the end, but I'll have to let that go because I've found a better offer.” Martin's heart skipped a beat, “A better offer? A better offer than mine? You want to kick me out of the boat?” he asked, his
The next day, Brian resumed work early, his mind completely occupied by the recent issues with his company. As soon as he stepped into his office, Albert walked in, reminding him of his meeting with the directors and some investors. Brian placed his hands on his forehead, his frustration palpable. “I'm on this matter. I'll resolve it today. Can't I have some time for myself?” he asked, his voice laced with anger. Albert lowered his head, bowing slightly, “I'm sorry master. Perhaps the meeting should be postponed.” he suggested and Brian nodded, “That would be better. I need to hear from Silas before I proceed.” Albert nodded and turned to leave. Brian sat down calmly, his mind disturbed by the image upsetting the public and ruining his reputation. He knew someone was planning to kick him out of his position, but who? Who would dare to scheme something that huge? As Brian was still thinking about the entire matter, Silas knocked on the door gently and entered, a frown etched on his
Brian's heart raced as he asked his mother what was going on, but she just told him, "I just need to talk to you, my son. I'm quite worried." Her voice was laced with concern, and Brian could sense the urgency in her tone.Without hesitation, Brian left the company and headed to his mother's residence. He couldn't shake off the feeling that something was seriously amiss.As he arrived at her residence, he saw his mother sitting calmly in the living room. Her face was etched with worry, and she looked quite disturbed. "Mother, what's going on?" Brian asked, his voice filled with concern.But before she could respond, Brian entered the house and saw his mother slicing an apple gently. "Mother?" Brian called out softly, his eyes fixed on her.She looked up, a hint of a smile on her face, and told him to come closer. Brian's heart still raced with anticipation, wondering what she wanted to talk to him about."Brian, my dear son, I know you're strong and capable, but I can't help but worr
Brian's eyes flashed with anger, his heart pounding in his chest. “Don't use my mother to get at me!” He roared, “Come to me instead!” The person on the other line chuckled, delighted by Brian's frustration, “So you can get riled up this quickly?” Harry said, his voice altered by the voice changer, making it unrecognizable. “Brian, this is just the beginning. I'll make sure to make your life miserable.” Filled with rage, Brian's pushed all the files on his desk to the ground, his body trembling from anger, ”Don't you dare lay your hands on my mother!” He snapped. “I'm the one you want! Leave her alone!” Harry laughed out loud, enjoying the tension in the air. “You think I won't touch her? If I don't touch her, how am I supposed to make your life miserable?” he asked, pulling Brian mother's hair, making her cry out loud. “Brian, just do whatever he says. Don't make him angry.” Victoria, Brian's mother whimpered, her voice laced with fear. Brian became alarmed, his heart thumping
Albert was completely stunned by Brian's revelation, his mouth agape. “Master, how could that have happened? How, who..I'm still confused.” he breathed, having a hard time wrapping his head around it. Brian seemed to be in a trance, his eyes whirling with a thousand emotions. Frightened, Albert shook his body slightly, “Master, don't think too much about it, we'll get to the root of this matter. Your mother would be…”“Enough!” Brian's voice thundered in the room, laced with anger. “I've had enough! All you care about is my father's company, that's why you're asking me not to think about this. Do you know how important my mother is to me? That woman is my life!” Brian spat, his heart filled with pain. Albert was slightly hurt by Brian's words, but he understood Brian's pain. To be a CEO, one must be mentally stable and strong. With troubles coming from different sides, it was normal for Brian to be frustrated. “Master, the company isn't only my priority.” He began, his eyes softening
