“Where the hell is Derek?” Antony’s voice thundered with anger, as if he might explode at any moment, his glare fixed on the bald guard.

With trembling hands and sweat beading on his forehead, the guard felt as though he were standing in the middle of a stormy sea—about to be swallowed by its rage—yet burning with a hot shiver deep in his marrow.

“Sir—Derek is at the prison yard,” he said in a somber tone, not daring to meet Antony’s burning gaze.

If there was one thing Antony hated, it was someone breaking the trust he had in them. He’d thought he knew his son well enough—that Derek would never dare act without informing him first. At least, Antony believed Derek respected him enough for that. But the truth was, Derek didn’t care about respect; he only feared the consequences of his father’s wrath.

This time, however, Derek had decided it was enough. He wouldn’t run to his father for help whenever he was pushed. He would start handling things himself. After all, he was expected to ta

  • The Underestimated Ex   Chapter 130

    Nola’s heart was already far gone from her chest as her breathing became uncontrollable. She couldn’t sit still on her chair anymore and involuntarily stood up, as if trying to take a clearer look at Adrian’s eyes from where she was seated. She couldn’t imagine that Adrian was being considered an esteemed man at this moment. It seemed the whole room now adored him, excitement spreading as people were already thinking of ways to connect with him. Surely, the EpicTech leaders wouldn’t be so foolish as to announce him publicly without being certain. If they hadn’t confirmed something about him, they wouldn’t make a joke of this magnitude. They must be sure he had the money before presenting him this way. Her mind remained unsettled, and Lyra too was sweating profusely. Whenever tension arose, it made her feel like she would mess herself right there. This was too much for her. She felt her body betraying her, he

  • The Underestimated Ex   Chapter 129

    “I’ve made it this way so it’d be more fun and exciting. Y’all should see this as me trying to entertain you,” Gabriel said with a grin on his face. He tried to mask his intentions by making it look like a fun way to introduce the new member who would be joining the table. The whole audience was filled with anticipation, glancing around and trying to guess who it might be. They could only wish their own names would be mentioned, though deep down they knew it was nothing more than imagination. The auctioning had been entirely Gabriel’s idea from the start. His plan was to use it as a way to spot the wealthiest person present, then invite that person to join them as the solution to their current situation. Since people loved the auctioning idea, Gabriel kept his eyes on whoever was spending the most money that night. He wanted to calculate how wealthy a person must be if they could casually purchase high-price

    He was the type who was always frank about speaking his mind. When he didn’t have a positive feeling about something, he would immediately act against it. Now, most people in the room could feel his aura as if he were a god who could decide a business’s fate. He would harshly dismiss people’s years of hard work and say their business couldn’t succeed, all because he didn’t see enough potential. But this time, his words seemed aimed at Adrian, his gaze fixed on him, and Adrian knowing that he also returned a fixed gaze to him, with a knowing look that even Gabriel couldn’t ignore. And yes—he did mean Adrian the most. Though he acted the same way with everyone, Adrian seemed to be his main target for now. He knew it would sound a bit off if he suddenly told the others that Adrian wasn’t the right choice for them. After all, he was the one who had first brought Adrian up, after seeing how much money Ad

    “Isn’t that Adrian Foster?” Nola asked, her eyes widening, though disdain lingered at the corner of her gaze as she looked in the direction he was seated. Lyra was speechless. She couldn’t understand why he was here. But then it made sense when she noticed Vivienne sitting next to him. Vivienne had been seated on another row before, but when she saw Adrian there, she went over to keep him company. Again, she noticed that something was going on and wanted to truly understand what Adrian’s position in the company was that earned him so much respect. First, the lady at the counter who initially treated her with disdain had suddenly changed her attitude when she realized Adrian was the man Vivienne had been looking for. Then, Mr. Gabriel—well known for his arrogance—had referred to Adrian as “sir.” All of this made her feel like something was happening that she didn’t quite understand. Moreover, she hadn’t caught much from Adr

    The EpicTech building was vast, with many sections where halls could be found and countless activities taking place on different floors. It was constructed in a way that all of EpicTech’s other businesses were housed in the same building. Adrian was yet to know about most of them. Apart from mobile creations, EpicTech was also into several industries like beverage manufacturing, food products, transportation, and many more. That’s why they were considered one of the most prominent business empires in the world. What really annoyed Gabriel now was that, even though they were desperately in need of backup financing—something they weren’t ready to make known to the public—all they could think of was finding a very wealthy person who could fill that space and solve their problem. But then, when Adrian casually gave them the Ebon Star—not just a huge treasure, but one of its kind—which they had auctioned for hundreds of million

    “So, do you have the file I asked you to prepare?” Adrian asked in a professional tone. He barely even took a glance at her. But he could picture the beauty on her face—even without looking, he already knew perfectly how she looked. Still, he chose to remain professional. “Yes,” Vivienne said, almost hesitant. For some reason, she felt uncomfortable with how distinct and distant he was acting just because he was at work. He only focused on the computer in front of him, as if he was looking at something important. But in truth, he only had a game open that he was clicking through. He had just resumed in the office today and hadn’t yet done the necessary things before they would start giving him details of the company’s business and information about it. Only then would he have serious work to do. Since he had no work yet, he chose to play a game. “Here…” Vivi
