“Did you tell Rebecca that you needed to
work three jobs a day because you are
from a poor family?” Sonia chuckled while she looked at Zane with disdain. “It’s such
a shame that you are not an actor; otherwise, you will always win the Best Actor Award.”
As he shrugged his shoulders, he
explained, “I went to 4S Automation to
have my car repaired, but she thought | was an employee there. I tried to tease her, but I never expected her to believe me.
Then, she rang me to give you a lift. I really
didn’t know that she works for you.”
Sonia rolled her eyes at him. “Are you now
setting your sights on her because she is
“Please don’t blame me for this. She’s always the first one to approach me,” he defended himself as if it was a curse to be popular with women. “She’s actually the
one hitting on me.”
As she listened to him, Sonia was speechless. However, when she thought about it, it really seemed that Rebecca was actually the one flirting with him.
“President Reed, where do you want to go?” Zane turned around to fasten his
seatbelt. “This is my first time driving
someone, but I never expected to be driving in such a beat-up car. You really are
lucky.” When the car started, he couldn’t help but ridicule Toby again. “The wheel feels so bad. This really is a sh*t car. What a d*ck move from Toby! How can he
himself drive a Maybach without leaving you a sports car after the divorce?”
“Why didn’t you call me back after I asked for your help?” Sonia calmly changed the topic of conversation.
Zane gave her a strange look. “I couldn’t find anything wrong with the waiters and
water, so there was no point in me
returning your call. I’ve seen the
surveillance video that night when you stumbled out of the washroom. It’s obvious that you are drunk. You’re thinking too much.” Then, he let out a chuckle and
teased, “Miss Reed, you were quite brave last night. Is that the first time Toby has
seen you like that?”
There was a moment of silence since she
There was a moment of silence since she was embarrassed by his words. She was
afraid that he would talk nonsense, but in the end, he had used his position as the co-owner of the club to watch the
surveillance video!
“Since there’s nothing wrong with the
water, we’ll leave it as such. I want to head
to Seafield High School. I’m a bit tired, so
I’ll take a nap first. Wake me up when we arrive there.” After that, Sonia pretended to sleep and ignored Zane.
Concurrently, over at the Gray Group, Titus
had just received the news that Sonia’s Paradigm Co. was interested in acquiring Continental Co. On top of that, she was
now trying to get in touch with the owner
through her connections. I didn‘t expect her
“However, no matter how capable she is,
Paradigm Co. will still fall with just a push!” He gave a cold smile while spreading the news to others. This time, / must destroy Paradigm Co. once and for all!
Titus couldn’t wait to end Paradigm Co.
once and for all in memory of his late
eldest daughter.
As soon as he gave out his orders, the
computer on his desk suddenly flickered as a disk was stuck inside. Just as he was about to press on the keyboard, the desktop screen returned to normal, but there was a video being screened instead.
The background of the video had good lighting, so he could clearly see the dying
person on the floor. The said person was
wearing a blood-stained uniform of the
Luna Club.
While looking at the man, Titus’ pupils
suddenly dilated. He is the person who I was trying to get in touch with. Why is he in the video?
In the meantime, the waiter lying on the
floor groaned with his last breath as he
was obviously in pain. Soon after, a tall man in a fox mask appeared in the video.
Then, the masked man looked straight at Titus through the camera with his cold eyes. “Hello, President Gray.”
“Who are you? How did you hack into my
computer?” While furrowing his brows,
Titus tried to shut down the computer, but
no matter how hard he pressed the power
button, it was to no avail.
The man in the fox mask chuckled in a low
yet sexy voice. “Not only can I hack into
your company’s server, the phones
belonging to you and your wife aren’t safe
either because I can easily hack into
anything. The reason why I came to you
today is to warn you.”
After that, he casually yanked the waiter from the floor with his slender fingers before slicing the latter’s neck with a knife, which caused Titus to shiver in fear.
“President Gray, you should never play the same trick twice because it just annoys
me.” The man threw aside the dead body
in his hand before he came to the front of
“President Gray, you should never play the same trick twice because it just annoys me.” The man threw aside the dead body in his hand before he came to the front of the camera and spoke in a chilling voice that came straight from hell, “If you dare to lay your hands on Paradigm Co. or Sonia again, you will meet the same fate as him.”
“You…” Titus’ voice trembled as he couldn’t
utter a word. For the past few years, my men have always kept their eyes on Sonia, so I know that she rarely so
cializes. She has very few friends because she has been a full- time housewife ever since she married Toby. Charles wouldn‘t dare to do such a thing to me, so who is this man in the video? Why is he so protective of Sonia?
While looking at Titus’ terrified expression,
While looking at Titus’ terrified expression, the masked man seemed to be satisfied
on the other end of the video. “The 300
million will be given to Sonia as compensation. As for the other gift, I’ll ask someone to send it to the Gray Group in the near future. Goodbye, President Gray.” The man appeared to be in a good mood
as he waved at Titus with his blood
stained hand like a devil.
The video suddenly disappeared from the
desktop a second later.
Meanwhile, Titus was staring at the still computer as if that video, which was
broadcasted a few minutes ago, was
merely an illusion. However, his body was also shivering in fear at the same time.
What does he mean by that 300 million compensation? As he thought about it, he couldn’t help but laugh in his heart. Why
would I suddenly decide to give money to
Sonia? He then received a call from the finance department of the Norfolk branch.
The treasurer stuttered, “P-President Gray, something bad has happened. The money from our account was stolen…”
“What?!” Titus jumped up from his chair in
shock. “How much money was taken?”
“3-300 million…”
“Why wasn’t I notified earlier about this?
What did I hire all of you for?” he yelled while trembling with anger and almost passing out. So, this is what that man
meant by the 300 million compensation!
Then, Titus began to be frightened by what the man could do since it was difficult to
catch someone operating in the dark.
With his last breath, he immediately called his subordinates to unwillingly give out his orders. “Withdraw everything including the news. I don’t want anything happening to
the Paradigm Co!”
“President Gray, didn’t you tell us to inform you when we are done with everything? What’s going on now?”
“I’m telling you now to withdraw
everything, so do it immediately! If anything happens to Paradigm Co, you can all kiss your job goodbye!” he shouted.
“Yes, of course.”
Titus’ heart was starting to ache, but when he finally calmed himself down, he received an urgent call from the Fredburg branch.
“P-President Gray, the accountant ran
away with 200 million…” the person on the
other end stuttered. “He took a plane to
Adristan last night…”
As Titus listened to the news, he fell silent.
His vision started to fade as he was on the
brink of spitting blood from his mouth. Didn‘t the man say that he was taking 300 million as compensation? Why did he take
another 200 million from me? Damn you!
After losing hundreds of millions all at

brink of spitting blood from his mouth.

After losing hundreds of millions all at once, his body could no longer cope with the intensity of his anger. As his blood
pressure soared, he collapsed on the desk before he could even utter a word.
“President Gray? Are you listening?” the person on the other end asked.
