Deciding to give her a chance, Brian picked up his phone and dialed Lyra's number. In less than a minute, Lyra hurriedly picked up the phone, “Brian” she breathed, almost about to die of happiness. For the past few days, she had always been the one calling to prove herself. This was the first time Brian would take the initiative to call. “Hiya restaurant, 9pm today.” Brian said coldly before hanging up. Lyra on the other hand was about to die of happiness. Yes, for the past few days she didn't stay idle. After having to receive mocking words from Tyla, she became determined to prove her innocence. Ever since that day, Jamie had stopped calling which meant he had a motive. To separate her from Brian. During her days of darkness, Harry had also visited to check up on her. Seemed like Tyla had blurted her out. Even after shutting him out, he was persistent in having her to himself. It sounded fishy and the girl she met at Brian's place, she just didn't have a good feeling about it.
That night was one of his best nights. Getting back with his wife and talking about their days apart from each other. It was unbearable, but here they were, together again. “Let's go home.” Brian said with a smile as he got up, but Lyra seemed reluctant, “She's there, right?” she asked, making Brian chuckle. “She's there, but she can always leave tomorrow. Although she was there to keep me calm, I did nothing with her.” he confessed, bringing a smile to Lyra's face. The drive to their home was slow and peaceful. Lyra decided to sit at the front seat, wanting to be right beside her husband. Brian held her hands in his throughout the ride home, and the air was filled with laughter and joy. Getting home, Brian smiled at Alex, making the young man shocked. For the past few days, Brian didn't bother to greet or start a conversation with him. Now he seemed eager to even smile at him. He bowed slightly, but he was even more shocked when he saw Lyra getting out of the car. As soon as they w
“Mclove, what about our plan? You remember today is the deadline for getting it done, right?” Harry's voice was low, but the threat couldn't be hidden. Mclove sat down in his office, his fingers calmly tapping on the desk. He looked calm on the outside, but on the inside, he was freaking out. He stared at the USB drive and sighed. He was reluctant to do it, but not when his own life was being threatened. “Give..give me some more time.” he stuttered, wanting Harry to understand his plight. Harry picked up a glass of wine and smashed it on the ground, and Mclove could hear the sound of the glass being shattered. He was beyond terrified by Harry's actions.“Mclove, there isn't more time! Get the damn USB and corrupt those files. Now! or else, your reputation gets it." Harry warned before hanging up. Brian and Lyra were back together? Even after trying to bring them apart, they had the guts to get back together. Oh well, then Lyra was going to have to partake in the suffering too. Af
Not wanting to stay idle, he went to the board room for the meeting immediately. A problem like this shouldn't be allowed to escalate further. Picking up his phone, he walked out of his office with a sullen look on his face. Now, their broadcasting company has been shut down and the Duke Empire has been placed under probation. As much as he didn't want to believe all these happened in a single day, it was as clear as day. It really happened. Getting to the board room, he was stunned by the unusual number of people present. All the directors, Including the directors at each subdivision were present. Also the director of the broadcasting cooperation. “Good day, everyone.” Brian began as he sat down calmly, his gaze sharp and acute, “About what's currently happening in the Empire, I assure you that I have everything under control.” he assured them, but they clearly weren't going to agree with Brian. “With all due respect, Mr Duke.” One of the directors began as he stared at Brian, “You
“What?! What nonsense are you telling me?!” Harry yelled, angered to death by Mclove’s words. “Are you insane? How could you forget something of such importance?” he yelled. He couldn't believe that Mclove would make such an unreasonable mistake. “Aren't you going to say anything?” Harry berated, his patience wearing thin. Mclove on the other hand couldn't think straight. He had forgotten the USB drive, and that was the end. There was no going back. If Harry was going to expose him in the end, then it was good if they all went down together. Since he avoided all the CCTV cameras, Harry would be traced in the end. “Harry, can you just shut it?” Mclove said coldly, his voice calm but authoritative,”I've had enough. You have my crime with you, fine, but you're also going to get caught. Once Brian finds the USB drive, that's the end.” Mclove’s words made Harry smile. The poor little rat was starting to talk back at its master, “Have you forgotten? Do you think I'll place all my eggs in
Few days later, Now that the culprit had been caught, the directors decided to give Brian a little more time. Although they were still disturbed by how the Duke Empire's reputation had been tarnished, there was nothing else they could do. They were all shocked that Mclove was behind the corruption of files. Later, they would all take turns to ask why he did something so cruel. Was he that greedy to want the whole Empire to himself, or he did that under the instructions of someone else? Brian walked to and fro in his office, his mind in a mess. Although Mclove had been caught, the problem still wasn't resolved. The broadcasting cooperation that had been shut down was a big hit to the Duke Empire, and with all their files corrupted, the stock market, shares, finances, and every other thing was going down. Even if they needed money to sort out the problem, their bank account had been frozen. There was just no opening. He was confused and heartbroken. Moments later, Albert walked in wi
Brian was shocked. The person he had initially wanted to meet had presented himself right in-front of him. In just a matter of seconds, his expression changed from that of shock to calmness, “It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr Kelvin.” Brian smiled. Hearing his role model use honorifics for him, Kelvin was even more shocked. His father, Davis was one of the members of the Tycoon 6. Even as almost everyone in the group hated Brian, all Davis had was adoration. Compared to other men in the group, Brian was young and smart. Single Handedly, he found the staff and became the leader even when everyone protested. For someone to move from a mere live-in-son-in law to the CEO of the biggest Empire, Brian really deserved to be worshiped. Since then, Davis had always shown Kelvin Brian's pictures, Just so he wouldn't make a mistake and humiliate such a person. Kelvin was known for his naughty attitude. The young man only respects people who deserve the respect in his own eyes. Due to his fame,
“Now. Let's start now, please. The situation is dire.” Brian explained, and Kelvin said, “Then, let me get my laptop.” Kelvin picked up his laptop and sat down. Turning to his group members, “I’ll do this. You can all relax.” he said as he began working his magic on the laptop. Initially, Brian was surprised that Kelvin had agreed to help him with no second thoughts. “I owe you one.” he smiled, his gaze on Kelvin who smiled back, “Mr Duke, this is nothing.” Hearing Kevin's words, Orion almost choked on his saliva. Did Kelvin just say it was nothing? Even if hacking into another server was nothing, Kelvin wasn't one to do favors. When last did he sit down with his laptop to work for someone? Most times, he preferred asking the other group members to do it since it wasn't that important. Who would have thought Kevin had this level of respect for Brian? “Is anything the matter?” Kelvin gave Orion a questioning gaze when he noticed how he was staring at him. Orion meekly turned to star
