The pain she was feeling can't be described in words. like every muscle was tearing apart itself from her bones. The excruciating agony, she never felt in her entire life. Not when She worked as a slave and not when she had gone through intense training. The maddening pain was so intense that she lost count of how many times she came back from her unconscious state. The night was dark If not for the moon that was brightening the dark paths of forest. It would probably look like a strange creatures dwelling. The atmosphere inside the forest was eerily quiet. The branches of trees make strange shadows on the ground that look like they will come alive at any moment. Ahhhh! An intense pain torn from the depths of the forest. all the residing creatures hesitate to even a lift foot in that direction. The aura was too intense, and terrifying at the same time but all of them, it made them kneel on the muddy soil and kowtow on the ground. the presence of itself was extremely powerful they had never seen something like this in centuries.

Mr. Arthur Miller.

Miss Leigh Smith, the president has called for you," someone said from behind her.

She turned around and found herself facing Assistant Xing. His face was haggard with large dark circles, like he had been working continuously since the previous night.

With a dramatic sigh, Leigh asked Assistant Xing, "What happened to you? You look pale."

He passed her a small smile but didn't answer her question; instead, he asked her to go into the office with reports.

"Okay, I will be going then. You should take care of yourself," she said and walked to her office to carry out the orders.

She knocked on the door. "Come in," said the rough voice from inside.

She walked inside the office. A middle-aged man was sitting on the chair, his expression stern and with furrowed brows as he read a file. He lifted his eyes and stared at her intently.

"Are you the new assistant of Asher?" he asked.

"Yes, Mr. President, I am the newly hired assistant. I was in charge of the CEO's schedules and meetings," she replied in a calm tone while casting her eyes downward, hiding the storm brewing in her eyes.

"Give me the files of meetings and schedule all meetings today. I will personally attend them," he said.

"Yes, Mr. President."

"You can leave now," he said with a hand gesture.

She turned around and left his office directly.

She walked out from the office; even breathing was hard for her in his presence. She was hardly controlling her emotions. With a deep breath, she calmed down and said, "Leigh, it is not the right time to lose your emotions. Control yourself."

In the meeting room, all shareholders had already arrived and started discussing among themselves. Leigh walked behind Mr. Miller. She could hear the heated discussion among all the major shareholders. Mr. Miller's expression became ugly, and seeing this, she smirked.

When Mr. Miller entered the meeting room, all of them stopped their discussion and greeted him.

"Let's start the meeting," he said. After discussing all the problems and obtaining their solutions, someone couldn't help but ask, "Mr. President, we have heard the Miller family got suspected in the case of illegal dealings, and our CEO was shot at the location."

Listening to his direct question, the expression on Mr. Miller's face worsened, and he replied with gritted teeth, "It's all rumors. Someone is framing the Miller family."

"But what about the downfall of stock prices? If it goes down further like this, our company will face a major crisis," someone asked.

"The Miller family business has nothing to do with Miller Corporation. You are facing this problem because of your incompetence. So instead of poking your nose into someone else's matter, think about how to contact Anderson Private Limited..."

"Anderson Private Lim..." Listening to this word, Leigh couldn't control her surprise and looked at Mr. Miller.

He continued, "It's an overseas company worth trillions of dollars. It wants to start its business in our country. Many companies are eager to get its recognition and deals from it. The competition is tough in the market, and here you all are wasting time on some baseless rumors," Mr. Miller said in an authoritative tone. After giving them a last glare, he left the meeting room immediately.

The expression on the shareholders' faces was truly speechless. They wondered how the president could shamelessly lie with his mouth wide open. The news was already in the headlines, but he was still claiming innocence. They were really worried about their future.

Some shareholders nodded at each other. They had already decided to sell their shares before the stock prices further dropped.

Just by their behavior, Leigh could tell what was on their minds. She had already decided to buy their shares.

She messaged Jack, "Mission accomplished from my side. Now it's your turn. The shareholders are already in doubt."

In the evening, she could hear all the shouts and cursing from the CEO's office as her desk was nearest to its location.

Inside the office, "What the hell am I paying you all for, useless nuts? Can't even take care of the news! Why is it spreading more? It's has reached more than billions views, and everyone must have heard the news!" Mr. Miller said while pacing around the office. His steps were forceful, and the nerve on his forehead was throbbing with anger.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door and entered with a hot coffee. "Mr. President, I brought your hot coffee," said the secretary with a sweet smile, showing her pearly white teeth.

Mr. Miller lifted the cup and splashed the hot coffee on her, shouting in pure rage, "Who asked you to bring coffee here, and how dare you enter without my permission? Get out of here!" He was really disgusted by her behavior and body language.

The poor secretary ran out of the office, wiping her tears.

Leigh was watching the drama unfold from the sidelines. She really wished to have a bucket of popcorn. The ongoing drama was really a perfect soap opera. And ah! The rage of Mr. Miller gave her a very good feeling. "The more you shout, become angry, and lose your temper, the more soothing it is," Leigh thought to herself.

"I hope you die from a heart attack. Good luck!" she murmured in a low voice.

"Mr. President, we have tried all means to suppress the news. We have hired the best PR department. But everything we do is going down the drain, like someone is doing this intentionally. Mr. President, I think someone is really manipulating this behind the scenes. Or how can all our efforts go in vain?" the secretary said.

"Well done! So my suspicion is real. Someone is really behind all this. One by one, all our secrets are being exposed. First, the tube got stolen, our illegal dealings got caught, the real situation of our company exposed, and now someone is stopping the news from being removed. Someone has really planned all this perfectly. But they don't know who their opponent is this time..." He suddenly laughed loudly like a madman, a single tear rolling from his wrinkled eyes.

"Good... Really good. Someone dares to challenge me, the mighty Mr. Arthur Miller, who has crushed the Hernandez family under his feet."
