Finally Our Noble Heiress Comes Back Home のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

The first person to spot Asher the next day was a human resources officer, Adie Berlinton.She had just arrived, preparing to perform at the company's anniversary celebrations that day.As she exited the elevator and walked, whistling, toward her office at the end of the corridor, Adie froze after a few steps.A figure lay face down in the middle of the corridor.Adie tiptoed closer, her heart beating rapidly. She lifted her bag to guard against the possibility that the person lying there might be a criminal in disguise.Adie couldn't see the man's face clearly, but three steps away, she immediately knew he was probably passed out or asleep from the alcohol, as the smell of stale alcohol and vomit made her suddenly nauseous."Sir!" Adie called out loudly. She was a safe distance away and could see the man lying face down in a puddle of yellow liquid that was almost dry. "SIR! WAKE UP!"When the man didn't move, Adie took her phone from her bag and called the security guard, who was ab

Janus stood in Asher's doorway, staring inside in shock and confusion.The house was a mess and dirty, like a house long abandoned.Olivia held Janus's hand. "What's wrong with this house? Why is it such a mess?"Janus entered, nearly tripping over a box that had been knocked over on the floor. A foul odor filled the air. It seemed to be coming from the kitchen.Olivia walked into the kitchen and was stunned. On the dining table, counter, and sink, dishes were piled high with food scraps and swarms of flies.The trash can was open and filled with empty food boxes and leftovers, some of which had spilled onto the floor."Oh my God," Olivia muttered. "This is a mess.""Where is everyone?" Janus muttered, standing beside Olivia, wrinkling his nose in disgust.Olivia took her phone from her bag and called Asher, but his phone was switched off."Asher can't be reached," Olivia said. "I'll try calling Leo's babysitter." Olivia looked for Faye's number on her phone, while Janus went into th

"The problem is, all of that should have been handled by your son-in-law, Samuel! You said he was smart and skilled. That's why you finally let Leika marry him, right?""Tsk! The problem is, lately I've been feeling like that was a bad decision. He's smart and skilled. He's good at his work, but he's completely unsuited for this. He keeps questioning the price difference, and lately he's been hesitant to carry out my orders, which has raised suspicions among the suppliers due to late payments.""And what about the previous project? Is he still working on it?""Yes, and because of that project alone, I'm still being nice to him, so he won't suspect anything. At least he's useful as a data manipulator on that project and hasn't protested much because he doesn't seem to realize that the data I provided differs from the company's.""Once his work on that project is complete, I think it's best for you to fire him, from the company and from Leika's life. My son is single, and he really like

Atlas's face didn't change a bit as he listened to the recording of Samuel Walden's conversation with his associates on the flash drive Regina had gotten from Janus.Regina touched Atlas's arm after the recording ended. "What do you think, honey?"Atlas turned and smiled. He patted Regina's arm gently. "I'll handle it. Actually, I've been keeping an eye on Samuel and his syndicate for some time now. They're laundering money through illegal transactions disguised as purchases of goods and the sale of unused assets.""Why would they do that? Samuel Walden is a wealthy businessman, right? He even founded Leika, a company," Regina said with a furrowed brow. "That's what Asher always brags to me about."Atlas snorted sarcastically. "I'm sure he's building a new business, but it's not a legal one. One of my men said a few days ago, Samuel met with Don Gorey. He's a mafia member from Venice, not the highest level, but quite influential, especially in the world of online gambling.""Oh my," R

"Mr. Walden, Mr. Jeremy keeps calling and asking about the land acquisition," Ashley said. "I don't know how to answer him.""Tsk! How annoying," Samuel said. "Just leave it for now. Don't answer his calls. I have more important things to attend to."Ashley nodded, though she felt uneasy. She had already prepared a resignation letter, ready to submit at any time.Her job as Samuel Walden's secretary offered a generous salary, benefits, bonuses, and even more.But lately, Samuel Walden had been doing illegal things and a few days ago even sent his own son-in-law to dangerous territory, leading him to believe he was on an important mission.Ashley felt guilty every time Asher asked about his business in Venezuela. She knew the truth, but she knew that if she told him, she could be in danger.Not only that. Ashley knew that Samuel Walden was associated with Don Gorey and that he was dangerous. If he found out Ashley didn't comply, it could put not only herself but her family at risk as w
