“How much have we lost so far?” Damien asked his secretary with a gloomy face.
“Sir, we have lost tens of billions,” Fabian, his secretary answered without looking at his boss as
he was afraid to face his wrath although it wasn’t his fault.
“Tens of billions.” Damien replied with coldness in his eyes as he patted his desk. “Is there anything else you want to tell me?” He lifted his head and looked at Fabian with a cold yet
indifferent look which Fabian had already been used to..
“Sir, some companies have started terminating contracts with us,” Fabian replied in a low tone since their company was suffering a lot and he didn’t know when all this war would end.
Damien’s face darkened as he had thought that he had made those families always listen to them but
now it seemed he was mistaken.
“Do they think they can do that? Are they foolish?” Damien asked coldly, making Fabian Fabian shive as the room temperature decreased all of a sudden.
“Sir, some said that they aren’t willing to suffer with you as the money you have given them isn’t
worth what the Aderson have invested in the other companies which were about to declare bankrupt
Hearing this, Damien chuckled as he didn’t expect them to say that to him after all he had done for
them.
“They paid the termination fees early this morning. Due to these, we have a few projects on our
hands.
“If they have seen it is good for them to terminate the contracts then it is fine. After all, when I was drafting the contracts, the termination fee was triple what I used on them and the projects. They are fools if they think we are going to crush them down. With that money, we have regained the money
we lost,” Damien said with a wicked smile on his face, making Fabian shiver in pain.
He looked at his boss as if he was looking at a devil from hell. He remembered when the contracts were made, most of the executives had opposed them greatly but now upon hearing his words, he understood why he was indifferent even after finding out that they were losing money. Thinking about it carefully, with all the money the other companies paid, the loss they encountered could not be

He looked at his boss as if he was looking at a devil from hell. He remembered when the contracts were made, most of the executives had opposed them greatly but now upon hearing his words, he understood why he was indifferent even after finding out that they were losing money. Thinking abou it carefully, with all the money the other companies paid, the loss they encountered could not be considered a crisis. He sighed as he looked at the man seated as he wondered when he had predicted their betrays.
“Those who paid the fees are those who I snatched from Flores and his friends, am I right?”
“Yes, boss. Sir, how did you know they could betray you so that you raised the termination fees?” Fabian asked as he was curious.
“Those people could betray Mr Flores and the others just for benefits so I couldn’t trust them fully. Also, after I attacked the Flores yet they didn’t declare bankruptcy, I knew that they were stronger than we thought and I had a feeling that if I didn’t succeed, they would make a comeback. Knowing that those men could betray me when that time comes, I added the fees so as to avoid the company from suffering major losses,” Damien said calmly, making Fabian speechless.
“Anyways, let them be. Do they think that that old man will collaborate with them after everything they did to him? Now that the Flores are under the Andersons, I don’t think Adrian and his siblings are st*pid to work with those people. Their lives and businesses are ruined the moment they decide to betray Mr Flores. But maybe we should wait, who knows, their young miss may be different from then thus she might work with them,” Damien said as his eyes brightened but with wicked intent in his smile, as if he was eager to watch the scene.

He had been by Damien’s side but with everything happening, he thought that he had not learnt from
him yet.
“Is there any report from what I asked you?” Damien asked as he stared at Fabian.
Fabian lowered his head and looked at his phone where he found a message from the person he had sent
‘Yes, boss. I just received it,” he said as he unlocked his phone to read the message.
Seeing the person in the photo, Fabian was shocked that he staggered making Damien look at him
deeply.
He looked up and met Damien’s eyes making him swallow the words he had wanted to say. He walked
forward and handed Damien the phone to look at it.
His eyes darkened upon seeing Amanda’s picture.
“Why are you showing me her picture?” Damien asked angrily as he looked at Fabian waiting for his
explanation.
“Sir, the photo was taken today by the man I hired to spy on the new company that the Andersons bought He saw Miss Amanda walking in. Do you think she is the sister Mr Anderson was talking about?” Fabiag
asked word by word as he was afraid of angering Damien.
After some minutes, Damien’s expression changed and he calmed down.
“Do you think that she can be the youngest daughter of Andersons?” he asked.
“Yes, boss. After all, she is working in that company and also her surname is Anderson,” Fabian said as he nodded his head.
Damien also remembered that she was called Amanda Anderson but he couldn’t believe that she was fro the richest family.
“If she was from that family, do you think she would have gotten married to me and suffered? She us to cook, clean the house and even wash clothes. Do you think a lady from a wealthy family can do that? Why should she leave her family which can give her everything to come and do the work that a maid does?” Damien asked Fabian as he raised his eyebrows.
Fabian remained silent as nothing was making sense at all but how can they explain the fact that she
is working in that company?
“Sir then how can you explain it?”
“With the connections between the Andersons and Flores, maybe the latter will help her to work in that company. Tell the person to continue keeping an eye on that company till we find out who
Anderson’s young miss is,” Damien said before dismissing Fabian
“Okay, sir,”” Fabian replied before turning around to leave.
“Also, I need you to investigate what Amanda has been doing since she came back. Maybe we can fin
the enemies move from her.”
