"William, the outcome is clear as day, why are you still arguing?" Stevie spoke up for the first time. "Don't be a bad loser!" William focused on him, his gaze as cold as the grave...Stevie was not intimidated. In fact, he returned William an equally cold stare. The cries for him to surrender kept coming, and William looked around and every face he saw had that satisfying smile, he hadn't expected this day to come, the day when his ego would be trampled into the ground, and it was all thanks to Liana. And not only that, his manager's reputation would be totally shattered, and then it would be the collapse of his profit... It was all over. "You must be happy with how things have gone, aren't you?" William stared at her as he asked, and the only response he got was a smile. Happy? No! This was just the beginning! Liana would show no mercy to anyone, William, Aisha and Anika, one at a time, they had no pity for her family, so she would crush them like insects. "William, if you d
"Fine, as you prefer!" Edward replied. "Let's discuss the partnership!" And he straightened up in the chair he was sitting in. "This document contains the basic clauses, so please read it carefully and if you agree, come to my company tomorrow to sign the contract." He spoke passing it by pushing the contract through the sideboard to her. Liana took the document, put it in her purse without opening it, and was ready to leave, when she heard Edward's voice again. "Don't you even want to look at it first?" Edward asked, somewhat puzzled by her. "I'll go over it calmly at home, and if I don't find any problems, Stevie, who is the president of my company will come to you tomorrow to sign it!" She replied, leaving Edward speechless. "Why don't you take a look at it now? And if you find any problems or want to do business, we can do that now, and besides, I believe you are the one who actually runs the company." He explained. And Liana nodded her head in agreement with him, after all
Aisha still didn't know about Liana and her husband William, and her only thought was to ask her husband for help to get back at Liana, and she was still angry from the incident at the police station. But no matter, if they couldn't do it fairly, there were more than enough ways to get someone out of the way. After William returned home, she would ask him to hire someone to grant Liana a horrible death! And just thinking about Liana's destution improved her mood. Aisha went to the treatment center, better known as the spa to relax next to her mother, and after a day full of luxury and care, she felt better, freer, but little did she know what was in store for her. The next morning, Stevie signed the contract with Edward, and news of the partnership was spread all over the business websites, and with it, Tech Corps stock felt the effects almost instantly. William knew that the stock would drop, but he didn't expect it to drop so dramatically, and it had never happened before. You
"But, how did that happen?" Aisha raised her head to ask. Her face was as white as a sheet of paper. William stood before her, blocking out the light. From Aisha's perspective, his expression was as grim as the shadow that covered his body. "You idiot!" William shouted. "How did you never realize that Liana not only knew about programming, but was frighteningly good at it? If you had told me that before, I wouldn't have given her the chance to enter this damn competition, and with that, my program wouldn't have lost and we wouldn't be in this fucking situation. This is all your fault! How can you want to beat Liana when her brain is at least a hundred times better than yours?" Aisha stared at him in disbelief. "What did you say?" she was sure she had heard wrong. "Liana knows computing and outperforms Tech Corps software? How is that possible!" She had absolutely no idea that Liana was familiar with computer technology, much less at a stage where she could easily beat her husband's
Stevie and Jack were glued to the computer screen, watching the Tech Corps stock, and the lower the numbers dropped, the higher their mood got. "Let's bet on whether William will file for bankruptcy tomorrow? "I bet he'll declare bankruptcy today!" Stevie smiled. "Based on how things are going, I believe he will file between today or tomorrow. Who knew William's punishment would come so quickly?" Stevie nodded solemnly. "You're right. I certainly didn't expect it so quickly." "We should have a party to celebrate this!" Jack proposed. "No, it's too early to celebrate." Liana, who was working at her computer, silently rejected "Why?" Jack retorted. "Even if William manages to save his life, it doesn't mean he seeks revenge now, and besides, we signed the partnership with TXT today. That's cause for celebration. " "Do you two think we're in a comfortable position now?" Liana turned to look at them, who looked at each other, confused by her words. "Aren't you happy with how t
Some time later, a pair of creepy eyes watched her from outside the window, and realizing that she still had the tranquility of reading by candlelight, the person licked his lips satisfyingly. Very soon, he would turn her leisure into the worst nightmare she had ever had! The door was, again, quietly opened. A tall dark-skinned man wearing a baseball cap glided through the doorway, and his footsteps inaudibly landed on the floor, but the moment he opened the door, a draft of cold air came in. The candlelight flickered slightly, and Liana's eyes widened minutely and she asked without turning her head. "Jack, is that you ? Why are you coming home so late ?" He didn't expect her to be alert enough to realize that someone had entered the room. He said no words as he approached Liana, a large baseball bat in his hand. "Jack, is that you?" Liana's voice showed no sign of alarm when she repeated, and then a laugh was heard in the dark, and when she turned her face, she faced the person b
"The reason he won't frame Anika is because Aisha is his daughter." Liana spoke at once, and everyone stared at her in surprise, even Tom, who wondered how she could know that. Besides him and Anika, no one else knew that Aisha is his daughter! "What?" Jack asked, and Liana turned her computer toward them. "Tom Salles and Anika Maristella are from the same town and worked in the same factory when younger. However, two years after that, Anika left the province and came to the capital, and from then on, her account would have a considerable deposit made every year.Even if the person who gave her the money every year was careful enough to cover up the money trail using money remittance, Anika's account would lose the same amount of money. It is not difficult to connect the dots. Also, ten years ago, Tom visited the hospital for a paternity test. Am I right so far?" Even though Tom couldn't understand the data on the laptop screen, every word Liana said didn't pass for truth. "No wonde
"Because I planned to make use of him from the beginning! Only through this method would he listen to my orders obediently. Tell me, is there any other better way to cultivate loyalty in an assassin?" "So your evil plan started ten years ago? You planned from the beginning to kill my father and me?" Liana asked angrily and Anika no longer felt the need to hide anything. She slowly stood up and looked at Liana. "That's right, but you escaped both attempts on your life! No matter, Liana, I admit it you defeated me, but you will never be the ultimate winner because that person will be my daughter!" Before the sentence was finished, Anika slammed the knife on the table and launched the blade at Liana first! When Liana was dead, the Legrand Family property would still go to her daughter, and Aisha would escape unharmed because she was willing to endure all the crime! Liana was really surprised by Anika's desperate attack, and after narrowly escaping the sharp point of the knife, she gr
