Chapter 257: Returning with purpose....

For Davis, leaving Noveria and returning to Country Y wasn’t merely a journey and wasn’t just a casual decision.

It was a declaration. He had a mission, and this time, it wasn’t about watching from the sidelines while fate and his enemies played god with his destiny.

He was taking back the reins. He will no longer sit on the fence to watch himself lose his soul anymore, not to anyone, not to any

With the successful reclamation of his company in Noveria, the next battleground was Country Y so that everything else will fall in line.

Everything that had gone wrong needed to be corrected. Every pawn set in motion against him had to be unmasked. And every injustice done in his name would be brought to light.

During the ten-hour flight, there was no rest. Davis, his wife, with his assistant never once treated the plane like a place of rest.

The cabin of the private jet had been transformed into a mobile war room. The mahogany table aboard the jet became their war desk.

Around the mahogany table, Davis, Jessica and Ethan were buried deep in work. Documents sprawled for review, data cross-checked and decrypted, secrets unearthed and reports cross-referenced.

They worked tirelessly, determined to establish solid groundwork.

Their objective was singular and sharp—to uncover the trail of financial crimes that had run rampant in his absence. From embezzlement to misappropriation of funds, from unauthorized projects to data manipulation, nothing was off-limits.

It was an overwhelming task, but Jessica’s earlier foresight had made the process smoother. Jessica had already set the stage months before.

In the early days of her marriage to Davis, she had with quiet precision, planted reliable and highly skilled subordinates within key branches of the company.

On the surface, they looked like ordinary hires—new blood brought in to fill the ranks. But in truth, they were operatives trained to observe, collect, and silently rise through the ranks.

Over the past year, they had integrated seamlessly blending in as regular staff.

She had chosen capable hands and subtly moved them into key administrative roles, giving them unrestricted access to sensitive company intel.
