The building of Blueprint Tech Inc. went cold the moment Mr. Alfred walked into the lobby with his security detail, drawing everyone's attention and causing those seated to stand immediately.“Good morning, Sir.” Was the only sound echoing throughout the hall as he approached the elevator with his men, and when they finally got inside and the door shut, it went silent, but Mr. Alfred's thoughts were loud and distracting.His mind stayed a mess even after arriving on the last floor, and as he walked to his office, Luke spotted him and came rushing from behind his desk towards him.“Where’s Wu now?” Mr. Alfred asked in a hasty tone.“He is seated in the waiting room.” Luke replied calmly.With that, Mr. Alfred quickly made his way down the corridor with his men, and when they came to a transparent glass room, Mr. Alfred pushed the door open, frowning at the sight of an aging, luxuriously dressed man sitting near the windowsill reading a magazine.“Wu!” Mr. Alfred exclaimed sternly.St

The moment Emma heard the sound of cars entering the fence, she jumped from her bed, rushed to the window, and peeped through the curtains, clutching the cloth a bit tighter in her hand. As she was about to turn to rush out when she saw Zane getting out of the car, she spotted her father approaching him, and she froze, watching the two as Zane embraced Mr. Alfred. When the two parted, Mr. Alfred looked at Zane long before saying, “I am sorry again. I-” Grabbing Mr. Alfred's shoulder, Zane smiled and said, “We already discussed this. It will be more of an advantage to us if you do this. I know your heart for me, and even though this next stage is going to push us against each other, we must do this to overcome what we have to.” Even though Zane's words gave a great assurance to him, Mr. Alfred's heart was heavy as he hung his head and mumbled, “I know, but I am worried about what she's going to think of me. Doing this is going to put a rift between the two of us in the public eye, I

Every employees of the accounting and finance department of NewEra was nervously standing in the boardroom as the rest of the Briggs family members sat at the table, reviewing the bank transaction documents from yesterday. So far, only Mr. Duncan was missing from the group, and after Jason ended his call with the bank, his icy gaze rested on his brother.“How come the signature on the check that Mr. Duncan carried to the bank was yours, and they can confirmed that it wasn't forged?”“He-he- must have been good at copying signatures. I swear to you, Jason… I didn’t authorize Duncan to make that withdrawal!” Austin cried, feeling the cold eyes of the others burning a hole through him. His head began to ache, as if he had just drank an entire bottle of coffee. “Look, I really don’t know what happened. How can I authorize someone to wipe out the entire company account? What would I gain from such a thing?” A scoff left Jason's lips as he watched the sweat bead at his brother's forehead,

A buzzing sound made Austin sat up in bed, stare at his phone on the night stand and reach for it.The calmness he felt from a well rested night immediately faded as he read the text, “Mr. Briggs, I thought you were a man of your words. It saddens me to find out that’s not true. And now, I am coming to collect my debt.”“What kind of madman is this!” Austin cried, hitting the call icon.But the number rang and rang and rang without any answer, and suddenly, the air-conditioned room started to feel a bit claustrophobic.“I swear to you. I am going to get the money! Just give me time. Please!!” Austin wrote back. "I will have it by tomorrow, please."But his message was received by silence, and fear gripped him tightly as he remembered he had no other way to pay since Mr. Duncan seemed to have vanished and the trails Jason's men were using to find him had gone cold.Feeling like he was about to have a heartache, Jason quickly got dressed, rushed from his room, and searched the entire h

The waiting room was calm as the quietness settled in, but Mr. Alfred could feel the tension Austin was bringing to the atmosphere and he could tell from his body language that he didn’t trust him.But for someone who has been in the business circle for years, he knew his way around these types of situations, and with a calm expression, he rested back in his seat, staring at the transparent wall and said, “To be honest with you, I am using your family…”Just as Jason had suspected, but then again, it didn’t make sense to him that Mr. Alfred would just come clean to him without even denying a bit, especially if he was working in line with Zane.“The truth is, I am afraid of that boy…” Mr. Alfred added, turning his focus back on Jason with a worried look in his eyes.“Now… Now. A man like you fears a prodigy you created?” Jason asked mockingly, leaning forward and folding his arms against the table. “Forgive me for not being a believer in that.”Frowning slightly, Mr. Alfred hesitated b
