With finals approaching, the campus buzzed with frant energy-students dashing between classes, buried in textbooks, driven by looming deadlines.
The moment she stepped into the classroom, Natalie te sed, “Well, well, Lilian! It’s been a whole week. Did you miss me?” She then burst out laughing at her own joke.
Lilian was already immune to Natalie’s antics, though ocasionally, they still managed to make her chuckle.
“Natalie, you’re not money. Why would I miss you all the time p>
Natalie cradled her cheeks in mock cuteness. “But am I not more adorable than money?” she said, batting her lashes dramatically.
Lilian looked like she’d lost the will to live and pulled out her textbook to start reviewing.
Then Natalie perked up as if remembering something. Hey, let’s go to the seaside resort this weekend. There’s a hot spring p>
Lilian replied with a flat expression, clearly uninterested “Too cold. Not going out p>
Solara’s winters were damp and bone-chilling thanks to the ocean air. She had absolutely no intention of stepping outside in that weather.
“Oh come on! My brother’s headed there anyway for a Million Corp bidding event. We can tag along and have some fun!” Natalie wheedled, tugging at her arm.
At the mention of Million Corp, Lilian paused. “What bidding event p>
Natalie tapped her pen against her book thoughtfully. “Apparently Million Corp’s trying to develop a new property near the coastline. They’ve invited Solara’s major real estate companies to submit proposals p>
Lilian’s eyes glinted.
So, Killian had blown ten billion on a coastal plot and now didn’t have the funds to develop it? How unfortunate.
Well then-it was only right that she do her part as a concerned citizen and help warn others.
The next day, headlines exploded across newspapers, online media, and television.
A geological report revealed that the coastal land near Linhai Park had highly unstable soil, dangerously close to the waterline. Experts strongly recommended turning the area into a conservation zone and planting vegetation to prevent erosion. Attached to the article was a full analysis from a reputable geological inspection firm.
The moment it went public, people were stunned.
Most already knew that the plot had been bought by Million Corp.
In an instant, the news rippled through Kingston.
Million Corp’s stock price plummeted.

Inside the company’s top-floor office, chaos reigned.
Killian, livid, hurled a stack of documents at a group of managers.

“Someone explain this to me! How the hell did a ten-billion-dollar piece of land turn out to be worthless p>
The managers stood frozen, terrified. They hadn’t seen his coming either, and the media report had blindsided them completely.
No one dared speak. Not even a breath stirred the air.
Just then, the secretary stepped in. “There are reporters here to speak with you p>
“Tell them to get the hell out p>
By day’s end, Million Corp’s stock had fallen another te percent.
But the next day delivered the killing blow.
A new wave of photos hit the web-photos of Killian and his sister, Sharon, in shockingly intimate poses.
Solara fell into stunned silence.
This wasn’t just scandal—it was taboo.
The fallout was instant. Million Corp’s shares continued to plummet. The company’s assets shrank drastically. Investors panicked, and chaos gripped the entire company.
Outside the corporate headquarters, shareholders and partners swarmed the entrance. The first-floor lobby was completely trashed.
Then came further exposés: multiple violations across Million Corp’s subsidiaries. Construction sites using substandard materials. Health hazards in residential buildings.
And then… the final nail.
A video surfaced—an interview with a man claiming to be Killian’s personal assistant. In it, he revealed that the smear campaign against Skyreach Group had been ordered directly by Killian. He had bribed online influencers and paid trolls to fabricate lies.
Million Corp’s stock hit rock bottom again.
Meanwhile, Ryan had been quietly acquiring shares-amassing over 50% and securing full control of the company.
Inside the crumbling organization, morale was nonexistent. Shareholders were dumping their stock, bailing out before the ship sank completely.
Watching his empire collapse in real time, Killian stared at the sea of red on the trading screen. His hands shook with rage.
He had built Million Corp from nothing-yet it was unraveling in a matter of days.
And now the board was forcing his hand.

They wanted him to sell.
But how could he accept that?
He had already been driven out of Goodman Corp.
Was he now supposed to watch Million Corp-the last thing he had-slip through his fingers too?
