loan stood in front of the shareholders, his words resonating with them.

"Yeah! What does this have to do with us?"

"Who do you think you are, acting all high and mighty?"

"Exactly!"

The noise grew louder and more chaotic. At that moment, the banquet hall doors suddenly swung open.

That was when the real Theo walked in. Instantly, the disgruntled murmurs were silenced. Everyone watched as Theo made his way to his seat.

"Everyone, if you have something to say, say it to me."

With Theo present, the shareholders, who had been bold enough to grumble earlier, instantly became submissive.

Theo stood up and addressed them, "This man beside me is a close friend of mine. How dare you treat him with such disrespect?"

Upon hearing this, the shareholders hung their heads in shame and fell silent. Theo glared at them, his eyes burning with anger. With a commanding voice, he ordered, "Everyone, apologize! Address him as Mr. Nash!" "M-Mr. Nash, we're sorry!"

"Mr. Nash, we're sorry!"

Theo continued to glare at the shareholders, but he noticed that Tomaz remained silent. Fixing his gaze on Tomaz, he shouted, "You! What's the meaning of this? I told you to apologize!"

In an instant, all eyes were on Tomaz. He clenched his teeth, his mouth twitching. His eyes were wide open with suppressed anger.

Tomaz felt all his pent-up

frustrations from past grievances surge forth. Though some of his anger had little to do with Theo, he found this moment to release it all. Fueled by loan's previous words, Tomaz made an irrational decision.

"Enough! We're shareholders, not jesters to be mocked! Apologize? Mr. Nash? He was the one who first accused us of being moles!" Everyone looked at Tomaz in disbelief as he stormed out of the hall.

The chairman and others were about to chase after him.noveldrama

"Enough," Nash said, waving them off. He then turned serious and said, "Let's get to the main issue."

"Alright, Nash," Theo replied, taking his seat.

"Yesterday, I was indeed attacked by

assassins. My suspicion of you stems from the fact that I only informed the people here of my whereabouts. So, how did the assassins know exactly where to

find me? I think the answeri

leaked

clear-someone among you my location."

...

Tomaz stormed back to his car, feeling as if everything that had just happened was a dream. At that moment, his phone rang again. It was his daughter.

"Daddy, did the money come through? Me and my friends are about to-"

"Enough's enough!" Tomaz shouted, cutting her off. "Where are you right now?! Come back immediately!"

"Daddy... what are you talking about?" Yessika was clearly frightened by her father's uncharacteristic outburst.

"I said, where are you?! Get back

here now! Do you think I'm an idiot?!

You used a number unique to Gorgeous Country to call me. Did you think I wouldn't notice?! Now, get back here immediately or prepare to sleep on the streets!"

With that, Tomaz angrily hung up the phone.

He picked up the envelope beside the car and seemed to have made some kind of decision in his heart.
