Chapter 1 A Viper Comes

"Swyland Bank's loan hasn't been approved yet." Joseph Sawyer, the eldest son of the Sawyers, was sporting bloodshot eyes. His usual confidence that stemmed from being a financial bigshot was gone.Irene Sawyer, the daughter, kicked her heels aside and massaged her forehead. She was exhausted as she muttered wearily, "The seven largest local banks refuse to take our calls. Our cash flow has gone to dust."The Sawyers were one of the many families in Imperia's elite circle, but they were currently facing impending doom. I was curled up on a couch in the living room, scooping out the sweetest part of a sliced watermelon.Jonathan was right beside me, carefully wiping the corners of my mouth. "Slow down."He was the black sheep in a family of Icy League graduates and managers of multibillion-dollar projects. He was a prodigal son who cared about decadence, not success. I was one of his situationships, and I was the one who leeched off money the most.I spent every single moment talki

Chapter 2 No Mercy

The air itself nearly froze over as soon as those words fell from Zack's lips. Joseph stared at the insolvency and restructuring files on the coffee table, the veins on his neck throbbing at the slight. "Don't push it, Zack. Sawyer Group is worth 100 billion. You don't have enough capital for it."Zack leaned into the back of the couch and fiddled with his thumb ring. "That was yesterday." Then, he looked at Joseph sharply. "The three Southeast Amarian deepwater ports you invested in have halted their construction this morning, and all accounts have been frozen. The good assets you mortgaged to the overseas conglomerate are now bad debt." He spoke slowly, but every word landed like a thunderclap. "I've looked into your accounts. You don't have enough money to pay your workers' salaries next month."Irene went white. All her experience in venture capital, the thing she was so proud of, had just been destroyed. She pointed at him, her voice shaking with rage. "It was you? You w

Chapter 3 A Heart

Time kept ticking. Joseph and Irene refused to admit defeat just like that. So, she grabbed her phone and went to the balcony. She called the relatives and bankers who called themselves her closest allies just to get a loan for this crisis.In the past, they would immediately answer her call. But now, they would either refuse to take her call, or their phones were straight-up dead. When her call did go through, they would make up a flimsy excuse and hang up right after they heard it was the Sawyers.Joseph was in a corner in the living room, calling overseas venture capital firms. Alas, the answers he got only killed his hope bit by painful bit. All his financial avenues were blocked, so much so that not even the money from their mortgaged items could come through.The business world was a cruel, merciless place. Everyone wouldn't hesitate to kick a dog while it was already down. Zack opened his eyes and hummed an unknown tune. He looked like a predator perched on top of a roof,

Chapter 4 Money

The arrogant look on Zack's face made my stomach churn. I stopped, but I didn't comply with Jonathan's insistent urging to leave through the back door. Instead, I smoothed out my dress, turned around, and looked straight at Zack."You seem to misunderstand how gold diggers operate, Mr. Hempson," I said. I wasn't loud, but it seemed to echo when the backdrop was a silent living room.He froze. He didn't expect a comeback from me. I sized him up, my eyes filled with clear disdain for him."You're the typical rags-to-riches success story who relied on a rich woman to scrounge his way up. Money's more important than your own life. You flaunt your wealth a lot, but no one can actually get anything worthwhile out of you." I sneered."You want me to give you a baby in exchange for three meals a day? I'm not stupid. You're nothing like Jonathan." I pointed to Jonathan, who had been restrained by Zack's bodyguards. "He might be a fool, but at least he's generous. He got me a luxury cond

Chapter 5 Confrontation

Joseph and Irene were shocked. "Where would you even get the money?"Philip was curious too. "What? Are you sure you have the money? Or do you have connections that could help us?"Zack's look of mockery froze upon hearing my words. However, he quickly recovered and let out a grating cackle. He was rocking back and forth from laughter. He found it all so hilarious that he nearly cried tears of laughter. "Are you dumb, Felicia? That's 100 million in cash we're talking about! You're telling me you could pay up? The Sawyers can't even scrape together that much money! This is real cash, not Monopoly money!"He turned to Jonathan, who was still pinned down by his bodyguards, his voice oozing with disdain. "You're a fool, Jonathan. Your sugar baby is trying to flash her nonexistent money around. "All you got her are designer bags and some cars, yes? I bet the designer stuff you bought her is worth around millions, tops."Zack then sauntered over to me and looked down his nose at me.

Chapter 6 Calling for Assistance

Zack pointed at the thick files on the coffee table. "Do you know what due diligence is? Do you have any idea how many regulatory processes you have to go through just for the share transfer? Can you even deal with such complex debt look-through?"The more he spoke, the louder he became. Honestly, it sounded as if he was trying to boost his own morale. "Felicia, you're just an upstart who got lucky enough to earn some money! Do you even know what commercial mergers are? Do you have a legal team? Professional auditors? "You don't even have anyone to come up with contracts, so how are you supposed to sign with them? It won't matter if the Sawyers are fine with it because the banks would've liquidated their company by the time your ragtag team comes up with a contract!" He sat back down and crossed his legs, his vicious, confident smile making a comeback. "So, just give up, Mr. Philip. She can't save you even if she does have the money. Only the top merger team I have could deal wi

Chapter 7 New Contract

Blinding high beams strobed on the mountain road outside the mansion in less than 10 minutes. Sure enough, the roars of engines tearing through the night's silence could be heard by the mansion's occupants.Then, a fleet of SUVs drove into the yard, the car doors snapping open at the same time. The high beams shone on a dozen suited professionals as they hurried over to the mansion's entrance, carrying metal briefcases.The one in the lead was a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses who possessed a cold, ruthless air about him. He ignored the bodyguards who tried to stop him and led his team right in. Soon, the spacious living room was filled to the brim with these cream-of-the-crop employees and their heavy presence.The man in the lead came up to me and bowed deeply. "Mike Zimmer from RedCircle and his 15-man merger team reporting for duty, Ms. Shaw."The middle-aged woman behind Mike stepped forth. "Snow Stone from PWC and her five-man finance and auditing team present, Ms.

Chapter 8 Destroyed

"Let me go! I'll sue you for assault!" Zack thrashed and squirmed, but his struggle only made him look like a worm in its death throes. His gold-rimmed glasses had been sent flying in the midst of his struggle, smashing against the ground. His immaculate hair was now unkempt."How dare you mess with me, Felicia! Trust me. One call from me is all it takes for the banks to lock all your accounts!" Zack yelled, not ready to give up just yet. Then, he desperately wriggled his hand out to fish his phone from his pocket.Then, he swiftly dialed one of the major banks' presidents since he had their private number. Zack thought this president would be his lifeline the moment the call went through, so he screamed, "Mr. Chaucer, lock Felicia Shaw's overseas transfer! Yes, right now! I'll handle the aftermath!"The person on the other end of the line fell silent for a moment. When he spoke, his voice was cold and filled with impatience. "Are you out of your mind, Zack? Ms. Shaw's account

Chapter 9 Saved

"Don't just lie there. The floor's cold, Mr. Hempson." I kicked Zack's shoulder with the tip of my heel and mocked, "What was your offer to me earlier? Enough food so that I won't starve to death? My, how generous of you."I crouched down and stared at his face that was contorted by pain and fear. "Still, it seems to me that the one who desperately needs three meals a day is actually you. I had Mike compile all the evidence of you working with the foreign investors to set the Sawyers up. "I can't help but wonder… Do you think others will still remember you for the ruthless businessman you used to be or as an Internet meme? Then again, you'll be in prison for life, so it doesn't really matter. I guess you won't starve in there, given the system."His eyes went wide with horror. He extended his hand with all his strength and tried to grab the hem of my dress. "I'm sorry! I was stupid! I was blind! Please, spare me! A partnership! We can work together! I'll give you half of my share

Chapter 10 She Has Everything

I looked at the Sawyer siblings and tossed the thick share transfer agreement onto the coffee table. "That's enough. I don't need an apology." Then, I took the main seat.Joseph quickly asked the butler to brew me some expensive coffee before serving it to me with respect. I took a sip and spoke. "Now that you have the money, pay the workers of the projects that are on hiatus. The holidays are coming. Let's not have the workers pinch pennies during the festivities. "Pay the suppliers while you're at it, and make a statement to calm the market as quickly as possible."Joseph nodded. "I'll talk to finance about their payments right away. Don't worry. The company will be back on track by tomorrow."I put the cup down and pointed at the share transfer agreement. "As per this agreement, I have 60% of the company's shares."The Sawyers didn't object. They had no objections following my orders after watching how I effortlessly turned the tables on Zack and took control of the situat
