The Richest Man in Metropolis is My Backer by Dream Searcher

Chapter 149

It wasn’t until I found a competent manager for my fashion house that I finally had a chance to take a break! But just as I was about to relax, new trouble arrived.

“Tay? Cameron’s here again. She insists on seeing you!” Cherry reported one day as I worked in my workshop. I glanced at her over the top of the model I was adjusting. A bad feeling crept over me. “Her again?” “Yeah. And she looks like she’s here to stir up trouble,” she replied. “Mr. Young’s been talking to her, telling her you’re not here, but she refuses to leave. Do you want to see her, or should we have security escort her out?”

I could guess why she was here.

I considered my options, then sighed. “How about this? Invite her to the coffee shop downstairs and tell her I’m rushing back here from outside. Let her wait.”

“Okey–dokey!”

I continued to work after Cherry followed my instructions, my mind racing for solutions and a plan.

After Harry paid off his taxes, Harbinger Inc. began turning a profit. Ironically, since he had sold the company to trap me in his tax evasion scheme, he couldn’t benefit from its revenue at all.

His plot against me had backfired spectacularly, becoming the bane of his existence. He’d shot himself in the foot and was now drowning in debt.

He failed to realize that his scheme had inadvertently fueled my success. As Harbinger Inc.’s largest shareholder, I received a steady yearly income from the company even though I wasn’t involved in its management.
