Rachel had a favorable impression of Victor because he was handsome. Although he could not compare to Stephen, his disposition was slightly better than Stephen’s, just like Theo was.Victor smiled. “I came to see you.”“Huh?” Rachel was a little surprised.“I know you liked Theo,” Victor said, “and I have something to tell you.”“What is it?” Rachel immediately narrowed her eyes. Her relationship with Theo was a secret. Even Stephen did now know about it, so how did Victor know? Was he planning to use that information to threaten her?“Stephen caused Theo’s death.” Victor handed over a document. “This contains information on Theo’s family situation.”Rachel took the document, and as she read it, her expression instantly turned dark.It detailed how Theo was once the heir of a prominent family, but Stephen destroyed the Harlow family. With the Harlows wiped out, Theo was separated from his sister.Theo did not dare to get revenge but wanted to find his sister and protect her.

Meanwhile, Victor was secretly laughing to himself. The plan was his idea, but he let Stephen implement it. That way, he could push all the blame onto Stephen in the future.Seeing that no one had any objections and even seemed to admire him, Stephen felt pleased with himself. He could finally show off and be proud!He immediately scrapped the original plan to reforest the area and implemented his own plan, handing over the land to developers. The space available for development was huge, and with Victor’s arrival, many people saw that as a golden opportunity, so the land was quickly snapped up. Stephen easily earned billions of dollars from that. However, the money was not his but Breeze City’s. Although it seemed like a large amount of money, it could only be used to fill the deficit caused by previous incidents. To make a real profit, he would have to wait until people began buying the homes.Even so, Stephen was satisfied. Since the river water was already polluted, he decided

Once the meeting ended, Stephen loosened his control over Edward’s company, letting the latter take full responsibility for the enterprise.After receiving the news, Edward let out a heavy sigh of relief. Lifting the restrictions on him meant that Victor and he could act even more recklessly.Not long after, orders from Victor arrived, telling Edward to use the expanded authority to bring in more investors while also launching the ‘healthy and safe grain’ brand. The grain was no different from ordinary grain, but they would advertise it as having undergone strict selection to ensure no problems with it.The slogan ‘absolutely safe’ would tempt the people of Breeze City since they had been deceived before and were terrified of eating contaminated grain again. Most importantly, the healthy grain brand was not priced that much higher than ordinary grain, so it fell within an acceptable range for most people.As soon as the brand hit the market, people immediately went into a frenzy, a

That night, Desmond went home to find Victor already there, chatting with his wife.“Mr. Hughes!” Desmond was very shocked. He never thought that Victor would show up in his house.When Desmond came back, his wife excused herself, knowing she was not privy to their conversation later.“Sit, Desmond.” Victor smiled.Desmond sat down, confused. It was his home, yet someone else was offering him a seat.“What brings you here, Mr. Hughes?” Desmond asked.He could not think of any reason why Victor would approach him.Victor asked, “What are your thoughts on the future of Breeze City?”Desmond frowned. “What kind of question is that?”“Just tell me honestly,” said Victor. “After Stephen’s arrival and all that’s happened in Breeze City, do you have any confidence in the city’s future?”Desmond hesitated. He wanted to say he was confident, but everyone knew what Stephen had done.No city had escaped Stephen’s clutches, and Riveria’s GDP had plummeted from 15 trillion to less than

It was early evening when he got the call.“There are indeed many discrepancies in the accounts. The news about farmers receiving only several hundred thousand dollars for a few acres of land is also true…”The report continued, but at that moment, Stephen could not hear any of it. From the moment he heard the first statement, it felt like he had been struck by lightning.There were discrepancies in the accounts, and the data he read was falsified?Stephen quickly rushed home and ordered Desmond’s arrest.When he arrived home, he saw Rachel sitting on the sofa on the phone with someone. He immediately grabbed the phone to see who she was talking to. However, it was just an ordinary friend of Rachel’s.“What are you doing?” Rachel asked furiously, startled by him suddenly snatching her phone.Stephen held back the urge to slap her.“Why did you falsify the data?”Rachel was confused. “What data? What did I falsify?”“There are serious discrepancies in the data of all the repor
