From Trash to Titan のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 301 - チャプター 310

The entire Sterling Industries lobby shook with the weight of pure arrogance!Ramon Lexus stood there like a king who had just walked into his own palace, chest puffed out, his suit gleaming under the lights. Beside him, Armand clutched his briefcase like it was a weapon of mass destruction. Both of them radiated the same disgusting confidence.When the receptionist didn't react fast enough to his previous order, Armand felt as though he had just been insulted by someone completely beneath him."You must be deaf, or maybe you're just bad at your job," Armand sneered, his voice dripping with contempt. "Call your superior. Now. Tell them Ramon Lexus and his son have arrived with a proposal that will make this company very, very rich.”Vivienne, the reception lady, kept her smile firmly in place. Although she didn't say it aloud, the delusional arrogance radiating from these two was baffling. How could they claim their proposal would make Sterling Industries rich? The Sterlings weren't

Kieran's eyes widened. He scrambled to follow Maxwell outside. “Wait… what's going on?”“Ramon and Armand Lexus are here.” Maxwell said. “Oh. What do they want?” Kieran asked, entirely confused. Why would those two come here at all? Then a thought struck him. “Wait, do they know about your identity now?”“They don't. But they are about to find out. Bring Sterling Security with you,” Maxwell said, his pace not slowing down..“Wait… you don't mean…” Kieran paused, the realization hitting him."Oh, I mean exactly that," Maxwell said, already approaching the elevators. His steps were purposeful and heavy like a predator who had finally cornered the prey that had been laughing at him for years.Those two people walked into his building, demanding to meet the new heir like they own the place. They spent years treating him like trash. Kicking him. Humiliating him and other stuff. The time for revenge felt like it was now. Maxwell placed his hand against the elevator button. The doors sl

Maxwell let out a short, nonchalant scoff. "Matthew is lucky," he said, his tone entirely indifferent, "that a broken jaw and a few shattered teeth were all he walked away with."The entire lobby went dead silent.Ramon’s eyes flashed with absolute, unrestrained fury. Never in his life had he imagined that Maxwell would have the audacity to speak to him with such utter defiance, let alone in a public space. "You dare?! You ungrateful, disgusting little…"“Watch your next words, Ramon,” Maxwell warned, his voice carrying so much authority that Ramon couldn't help but stop talking. "Also, you didn't come to this building to discuss Matthew, did you?" He didn't raise his pitch even slightly. "You came here with a business proposal. But I already know exactly what you are. Both of you. You are morally filthy people who built a second-rate company on the backs of the people you stepped on. I wouldn't do business with the Lexus Corporation if you were the last entity left standing on this e

Meanwhile at the Lexus mansion.Debra was in a good mood that morning.And she had a valid reason for being. Lexus family was doing very well. Another reason she was so happy was because Ramon and Armand had just left for sterling industries with the proposal sterling industries couldn't refuse. She sat at the dining room table with her laptop open and a fresh cup of coffee at her elbow, going over the numbers one more time. Not because she needed to. She had memorized them days ago. She just liked looking at them.The infrastructure proposal was clean. Forty slides, conservative projections on the low end and genuinely staggering ones on the high end, every figure defensible under scrutiny. Armand had done well putting it together. Ramon had dressed it correctly. And she had framed the entire thing in language that made Lexus Corporation sound like exactly what she needed Sterling Industries to believe they were: stable, profitable, and indispensable.Matthew was sitting across from

The news tore through the city's financial district like an earthquake.The entire Lexus family had been arrested. Every last one of them.Ramon Lexus. Debra Lexus. Armand Lexus. Hauled into federal custody in a single morning, the proud Lexus Corporation collapsing behind them. The charge? Corporate espionage. Years of quietly buying and selling stolen secrets, all of it dragged into the light at once.Phones lit up in boardrooms across the city. Wasn't the Lexus name one of the most respected in the industry only yesterday? And now the entire empire was finished, bankrupt, its founders in handcuffs, the whole thing crumbling to dust overnight. How had it happened so fast?What almost no one realized was that a single man had engineered every piece of it. He had bankrupted them, exposed them, and handed every shred of evidence to the authorities himself.And right now, that man was sitting in a quiet office at the very top of Sterling Industries, perfectly calm, as if the earthquake
