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
As the culprit was already found, more evidence was needed. A few days quickly passed by in the blink of an eye, and things in the Duke Empire didn't seem to settle. Everyone had been cutting all ties with them, especially an important set of people in the Empire. For the past few days, he had thought of how he could get the USB drive into Harry's computer, but nothing was forthcoming. Kelvin had promised to stay back to help Brian with his Empire, but that didn't mean he had a lot of time. He had discussed the matter with Lyra, and with no second thoughts, she had volunteered to go. However, Brian had no intention of sending his wife to the lion's den, but right now, only Lyra could enter Harry's office without being questioned. After all, the man was head over heels in love with her. Left with no choice, he decided to allow Lyra to go. Delay was dangerous, and with the way things were happening, the Duke Empire was likely to go down the drain. Picking up his phone, he dialed he
In the Duke Empire, Brian and Kelvin stared at each other, unable to believe that they had the power to put Harry behind bars now. Brian was delighted, no, he was overwhelmed with Joy. With this, they could prove the Duke Empire's innocence and make sure Harry would never try such again. However, he was worried about Lyra. Since she had inserted the USB into the laptop, she didn't inform or call them about her progress. He wondered if she was okay. At the same time, Lyra's call came in, “Brian, I'm on my way home. Harry didn't suspect a thing.” she smiled, glad their plan worked. Brian sighed in relief, glad nothing had happened to his wife. “Alright, honey. I'll see you at home.” he replied before disconnecting the call. Kelvin turned to Brian, “Mr Duke, Harry McDaniels is really a criminal. Inside these files are the number of people he had sold for human trafficking. I can't believe someone could be this despicable.” he said, disbelief written all over his face. Throughout his
As Harry was a criminal, Brian had to think like a criminal. Before a criminal gets caught, he would think of several ways to escape, and he wasn't going to allow that. The Duke Empire was back in power, and so, Brian called the police to block all the airports. Giving Harry a letter that won't allow him to leave the country would take too much time. Just as Brian thought, Harry didn't want to take any chances. He felt like crushing Brian, but now wasn't the time to have such thoughts. He dashed into his room, picked up his passport and Visa, ready to leave the country. Getting caught now would ruin his entire life. Harry covered up his face with a face mask and wore a face cap to remain hidden. However, upon reaching the airport, he realized that the place was heavily guarded. Thinking it was only that airport that was guarded, he immediately went to another but it was guarded as well. Soon, he realized that they were all looking for one person, him. Immediately, he turned around
