One Night Stand with the Secret Billionaire のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 111 - チャプター 120

The tires of the black car screamed as Lucas pulled a dangerous turn. He drove fast toward the part of the city where the Sterling Manor sat like a giant fortress. His hands were white on the steering wheel, and his knuckles looked like bone. Every second felt like a minute. Every red light felt like a wall in his way."Call the gate," Lucas barked at James. James sat in the passenger seat, shaking as he held his phone. "Tell them if they do not open those doors, I will drive this car right through the stone wall.""Sir, Selene’s phone is off," James whispered. He was looking at his screen with a pale face. "I tried to find the signal on her necklace, but it is not working. The Sterlings have machines that block all signals around their house."Lucas did not say a word. He could not. His mind was full of dark thoughts. He kept seeing Ophelia’s cold eyes and her mean smile. He knew how she worked. She did not use her hands to fight. She used words like poison to destroy anyone she hate

Lucas stared at the glowing screen of his phone. The message about Selene’s mother felt like a cold breeze in the room, but he did not let it pull him in. He knew how this game worked. When you are about to win a fight, your enemy tries to make you look the other way. He knew that if he started chasing ghosts from the past, he would lose focus on the audit. He needed that audit to destroy the Sterlings and clear his name.He deleted the message and put the phone face down on the desk. He wouldn't give them the satisfaction of a response. Instead, he turned his eyes back to the rows of numbers on his laptop. He was building a wall of truth, and he wouldn't let a mystery text tear it down.Beside him, the room was quiet. The sun was starting to set, casting long, soft shadows across the floor. Selene stirred on the bed, her eyes fluttering open. She looked around the room, her gaze landing on Lucas. For a moment, she looked confused, as if she had forgotten where she was. Then, she reme

While the boardroom was in a panic, the Maxim family made their move. They went straight to their official social media handles. Their post was short and powerful. We are proud to announce our partnership with Lucas Yates and the Yates Empire. Our commitment to the Blue Core Mine is absolute. Together, we will strengthen our forces to boost production.But they did not stop there. The post included a special agreement that made the situation very clear. The Maxims stated they would only work with Lucas Yates. They made it known that only Lucas had the power to choose who the director of the blue core mine would be. This move took all the power away from the board. It meant that if the board fired Lucas, the thirty billion dollars would vanish instantly.A second post followed, and this was the one that truly shocked the public. We are also pleased to announce the appointment of the new Deputy Director for the Blue Core Mine project. Please join us in welcoming Melvis Blake.Selene,

While Melvis was transforming the mine into a fortress of productivity, Lucas was still trapped in the silence of the loft. The outside world was screaming his name, but inside, the only sound was the humming of his laptop and the scratching of a pen.He was deep into the most difficult part of his mission. The partnership with Harry Maxim had given him a shield, but the audit was his sword. He wasn’t just looking for stolen money anymore. He was looking at the very soul of the Yates Empire... the shareholders.For years, Lucas had run the company with a firm hand, but the Yates Empire was a massive, old beast. It had been built by his father and his grandfather, and along the way, pieces of it had been sold or traded to people in the shadows. To truly win this war, Lucas needed to know exactly who owned his company. He needed to see the list of shareholders and how many percent of shares they currently held.He knew the Sterlings held a significant portion. He knew the board members

The elevator reached the ground floor with a soft chime. Outside, the rain was beginning to fall in heavy and cold sheets. James was waiting by the black sedan. His face was tense and his hand was resting near the door handle. He had already prepared the route to the Blue Core Mine. He had a team of security cars waiting a few blocks away to ensure Lucas and Selene reached the industrial fortress without being followed.But as Lucas stepped out of the lobby, he stopped. He looked at the rain and then looked back at the towering height of his private penthouse. He thought about the encryption he had almost broken. He thought about the physical servers hidden deep within the walls of his home office. The Blue Core Mine was safe, but it was far away. If he left now, he would lose hours of work.“Sir, the car is ready,” James said. He moved to open the door.“Melvis is expecting you at the mine. The perimeter is fully locked down.”“Change of plan, James,” Lucas said. His voice was firm.
