Puzzled, Ariana responded with a question mark. This was followed by a lengthy voice message.
Sonia’s excited voice dominated the message, and after a while, Ariana grasped what she was
conveying.
“Aria, there’s a rumor swirling around that Anderson Group is on the brink of bankruptcy!”
On the topmost floor of the Anderson Group’s headquarters, Darian paced the office, his bandaged
hand trembling.
Anxiety marked his steps. He was nervously anticipating a call.
Upon being released from the cemetery the previous day, he had deployed people to prevent the news
from spreading. But given the significant turnout at the funeral, leaks were inevitable.

Anderson Group.
Now, Anderson Group stood at the precipice of becoming a hollow entity.
Darian couldn’t resist wiping the sheen of cold sweat off his forehead.
Within a single day, his world seemed to be spiraling downward, and he found himself on edge within
his office.
Even at the cemetery, he hadn’t felt this level of fear.
Back then, anger consumed him, fueling his disdain for Theodore and Aimee, but now only fear echoed
within him.
Recalling Aldus’s words at the funeral, Darian’s heart pounded, and a sense of unease overwhelmed
him.
His assistant caught wind of a piece of news this morning.
The Olympic Village project seemed amiss and was currently under investigation.
Hearing this set Darian’s heart racing, and a cold sweat broke out.
He had staked everything on that plot of land, tying it to the future of Anderson Group. All of Anderson
Group’s operating cash was tied up in it, and should something go awry with the Land, the fallout would
be catastrophic.
Once more, Darian wiped his forehead, clasping his hands in fervent prayer, almost on the brink of
begging for divine intervention.
Just as he was engrossed in his desperate plea, his phone chimed.
“Hello! What’s the status of our investigation? Is the intelligence valid?” Darian, teeming with
anticipation, instantly Lifted the phone and fired off a volley of inquiries.

stating, “There seem to be complications surrounding the Olympic Village project.”
Breaking out in a sweat, Darian’s hands trembled. “What’s the matter? Unveil it!”
“The groundbreaking was imminent, yet officials from the Geological Bureau intervened with an
inspection revealing the land’s substandard quality. The plot lies on the western fringe, adjacent to the
ocean, rendering it susceptible to coastal erosion.”
Once the assistant completed his report, Darian was gripped by a fusion of shock and fury. He roared
into the phone, “Why was there no mention of this predicament when the project was publicized? Why
was I Left in the dark until after my complete investment?”
Frustration trickled into the assistant’s reply, “Sir, even the Geological Bureau’s authorities were taken
aback. Evidently, whispers about this issue emerged a week prior to the auction. Didn’t we conduct any
due diligence before entering the bidding?”
