The manager's face contorted into a deep frown as he sluggishly dragged his feet, reluctantly trailing behind. He didn't want to create a scene or attract attention, so he pretended to be composed and followed them into the office.Reaching the door, he entered the passcode, and it slowly opened. They all stepped inside, and Harry felt a surge of anticipation, a physical response to the thrill of discovering what the man had done with the funds.As the bank manager approached, he pulled a chair forward to sit, but Harry interjected, "No! Let her do it," pointing at the woman beside him.The man hesitated, refraining from touching the computer, and reluctantly moved backward, allowing her to take the seat. Once she settled in, Harry leaned forward, displaying eagerness to explore whatever appeared on the screen.The woman booted up the system and quickly requested some private information. Harry was swift to provide the details since Scarlet had given him all the necessary information
Harry's body tensed as his mind swirled with a whirlwind of thoughts. As soon as Stanley hit the brake pads, Harry swiftly unbuckled himself from the car and hurried towards his private jet, not wasting a single minute. He couldn't comprehend what Jade was trying to convey over the phone, but judging from her choked voice, he could swear it was something significant, perhaps even good news. Her words stumbled over Scarlet's name... What could have possibly transpired? Harry pondered as he finally settled into one of the plush seats.His eyes darted nervously around the cabin as he gazed out the window. The sprawling city of New York appeared breathtakingly beautiful, but Harry found himself lost in a sea of his own thoughts. He desperately tried to piece together the puzzle of what might have occurred, but with each clue he considered, the possibilities became increasingly ominous. His anxiety mounted, causing his Adam's apple to bob up and down as he swallowed hard.Harry scratched h
The doctor swiftly rushed outside, closing the door behind him and exhaling deeply. Everyone's attention shifted towards him, surprised that he was outside instead of treating Scarlet. It had been approximately two hours since Harry left for New York when Scarlet suddenly started trembling, her hands shaking, and her breathing becoming rapid, like a wild animal being chased by a predator.In response, they quickly called for the doctor, who instructed everyone to leave the room. Scarlet was experiencing a panic and anxiety attack, and given that she hadn't fully recovered from her surgery, it posed a significant risk to her life. Despite their efforts to save her over the past four hours, it seemed impossible. The doctor exhausted all options available to him, and Pietro and Jade couldn't comprehend the fact that Scarlet had been healthy just moments ago, and now she was on the verge of death with seemingly no solution in sight.Harry stood there, his gaze fixed on Scarlet, whose brea
Harry's eyebrows shot up in surprise as he leaned against the wall."What is it?" he asked, curiosity evident in his voice."Sir, we've received a lucrative offer from a company with headquarters in Africa and several Asian countries. They want to form a partnership due to our strong presence in Europe," the person explained, and a satisfied smirk appeared on Harry's face.He had been seeking a breakthrough for his fashion brands and other companies to expand into African and Asian markets, which had proven to be quite challenging. But with this deal, it could be a promising opportunity."Does the clause favor us?" Harry always exercised caution when making decisions."Yes, sir!" came the excited reply."Fine. I'll be on my way soon, probably tomorrow, to assess and finalize the agreement. Set up a meeting for tomorrow," he said, ending the call. However, the sudden silence in the room caught his attention. Slowly raising his head, he met the gaze of a man dressed in a white custom Bu
Harry couldn't understand why Alexander exuded so much confidence as if he owned the place, especially considering Harry had no recollection of ever meeting him. The entire room seemed to tense up, enveloped in a cloud of unease and dread. No one dared to speak up, except for Harry. He couldn't bear to see Scarlet trembling in fear, especially when she was still recovering from her ordeal.Alexander's gaze locked onto Harry as he scanned his entire body, assessing him. He had heard tales of Harry's exploits during his time away, but he hadn't anticipated him being even bolder than his own father. Alexander's eyes then shifted to Scarlet, who still tightly held Pietro's hand."I heard some people tried to take your life," Alexander smirked, his voice laced with amusement.Harry's face contorted, turning a deep shade of crimson upon hearing how callously Alexander used Scarlet's traumatic experience as a joke. The anticipation in Alexander's widened eyes was palpable as he fixed his gaz
The room fell into a heavy silence, as if everyone was collectively holding their breath in surprise at Harry's tone and choice of words towards Alexander. Alexander raised an eyebrow, initially shocked, but a slow smile curved on his lips. Jade's jaw tightened as she fixed her gaze on Harry, hoping he wasn't making a grave mistake, knowing the potential danger Alexander posed."If you say so," Alexander said calmly, gracefully walking outside, leaving scarlet and Martin surprised by his lack of agitation, unlike what they had anticipated.Once he was gone and the door slammed shut, Jade let out a deep sigh, clutching her chest as if she had been holding her breath and waiting for him to leave."Who is he?" Harry couldn't care less, as he nonchalantly moved towards the table to finish his remaining coffee."He is Alexander, my father's brother. An ex-convict, a murderer, and a rumored rapist and hitman," she replied, causing Harry's eyes to widen in astonishment as he nearly choked on
"Good morning, sir!" Samantha greeted as Harry walked out of his room, causing his brows to furrow in surprise."How the hell did you get here?" he exclaimed.Samantha's lips curved into a smile. "Sir, it's 9:00 AM."Harry slowly raised his gaze to the clock on the wall and let out a gasp. He hadn't expected it to be this late. Dragging his feet sluggishly, he made his way to his chair and settled in, rubbing his eyes in an attempt to shake off his sleepiness.Samantha couldn't help but giggle at Harry's disoriented state. He was clearly confused by oversleeping, but after the events of the previous days, it wasn't surprising for anyone."I need you all to do something for me," he began, causing Samantha to turn her head, expecting to see someone else with her. But Harry quickly corrected himself. "No, I mean you and Stanley. That guy isn't awake yet."Samantha nodded slowly, leaning back on the couch. Just then, the sound of doors opening startled both of them. They looked up to see
"I don't know if you've been told, but I've been here for the past three hours, and that isn't good professional behavior," she stated firmly her eyes darting around Harry.Harry furrowed his brows at her words. She was indeed bold and straightforward, unlike others who would have swallowed their frustration and acted like nothing had happened. Perhaps it was because they were desperate for the deal she was bringing to the table, and she wasn't? Harry rolled his eyes, realizing that she was indeed bringing a mouthwatering deal, but her boldness was something he wasn't accustomed to. Or maybe she was just rightfully upset about the wait... and who wouldn't be?"I'm sorry for the delay. Please accept my sincere apologies and have a seat. My staff can bring you something to help you relax," he said, trying to make amends."Well, that won't be necessary. You can present it to me in just one way," she responded, moving forward and slowly opening her bag as everyone watched her. "Sign the d
