Chapter 86

Richard's Pov

I sat on the edge of the bed, the glow of the television casting an eerie light across the room. The remote was in my hand, but it felt almost too heavy to hold. I barely ever used the television in my room, but tonight, I had an unsettling feeling in my stomach, something gnawing at me that made it impossible to sleep. I clicked it on, expecting a few minutes of distraction, something to pull me away from my racing thoughts. What I didn’t expect was the image that filled the screen.

The headline blared: The Beginning of His Downfall. My name, Richard Lyle, was boldly printed beneath it. The words stung like a slap to the face.

Richard Lyle: A Failure and Incompetent in Business.

I leaned in, staring at the screen, my chest tightening with each passing second. The camera cut to a live broadcast of the client—Mr. Frank—who was responsible for the project that had been tainted by the stolen rare raw materials. His face was twisted with anger, and his voice crac

    Chapter 91Lily's Pov“Good morning, everyone,” I said, my voice steady, though my heart was pounding in my chest. I could feel the weight of their eyes on me, the weight of expectations, but I couldn’t let it show. I had a role to play, and I wasn’t about to falter now. “I know we’re all facing challenges right now, but we have a duty to protect the company and Richard’s reputation. Today, we will discuss how we move forward.”I paused, letting my words settle in the room. The faces around the table reflected a variety of emotions—uncertainty, frustration, a mix of anger and confusion. But there was something else, too. Something that told me, despite the tension, they were ready to listen. They were ready to work together.This wasn’t just Richard’s fight anymore. It was all of ours.“We need to act fast,” I continued, my voice gaining strength as the silence grew heavier. “The situation outside is dire, and we need a clear strategy to regain control. I don’t care what anyone says a

    Chapter 88Lily's PovI tried as hard as I could, but I couldn’t shake off the feeling that Mark was somehow involved in all of this. I didn’t want to believe it, but the thought kept creeping back into my mind. Yes, there was truth in what Richard had said about Mark not having the guts to pull off something this big. Especially with Frank going live on TV like that. If Frank were the mastermind behind this entire operation, why would he go so far as to ask Richard to end our relationship?It didn’t make sense. None of it did.My mind was clouded with questions as I made my way to the office. The drive felt longer than usual, my thoughts swirling in a whirlwind of possibilities. What could Mark have to gain from all this? Why had he been so adamant about forcing Richard and me apart? And if Frank was behind all this, what did he want, really? Was it just the stolen materials, or was it something bigger? The questions piled up, and the more I thought about it, the more unsettled I fel

    Chapter 87Richard's Pov There was a long pause on the other end of the line. I could almost hear my attorney’s thoughts as he weighed his response, his words carefully measured. Finally, he spoke.“It’s… it’s complicated, Richard. Mr. Frank’s accusations are damaging, but I don’t think he’s acting alone. This whole thing feels orchestrated—like someone behind the scenes is pulling the strings.”I ran a hand through my hair, my mind spinning with possibilities. This was it. The moment I had been dreading. It wasn’t just about stolen materials. This was about power, manipulation, and someone playing a dangerous game. Someone who wasn’t afraid to go to extreme lengths to bring me down.“Someone bigger than Frank?” I asked, my voice quiet, tinged with the suspicion that had been building up in me for weeks now.“Much bigger,” my attorney confirmed. “I’ve got a few people digging into it, but we need to be careful. Whoever’s behind this is playing a dangerous game.”My heart sank. I had
