NovelEnglish"Fine, it doesn't matter if you don't acknowledge me," William scoffed as he knocked Zoe unconscious and locked
her in the attic. "Once | have money and power, anything | want will be just a word away." That evening, Nina
and Nash's plane touched down. As they stepped out of the airport, they noticed something unusual.
The largest billboard nearby, which used to feature York Corporation's popular beauty products, had been
replaced with a food advertisement. The change hadn't been authorized by Nash, and that wasn't right. Both of
them exchanged a glance, realizing something was wrong in Birkham.
Just as Nina was about to speak, Nash's phone rang. It was Manager Wood from the Planning Department. He
was one of the most loyal and long-standing employees at York Corporation. "Manager Wood, | was just about to
call you. What's going on with the billboard outside the airport? Why was it changed?"
"Mr. York, we need to talk. Cto my house immediately. Everyone is here waiting for you," Manager Wood's
voice was urgent.
Without further questions, Nash and Nina hailed a cab and rushed to Manager Wood's home. When they arrived,
the study was packed with people, all of whom stood up the moment they saw Nash. "Mr. York," they all greeted
him in unison.
Nash gestured for them to sit and asked, "What's going on? Just tell me."
He had a suspicion, but without concrete evidence, he couldn't be sure.
"William has bribed the company's financial officer, the head of procurement, and several key clients. Most of
York Corporation is now under his control. We've been sidelined..." Manager Wood and the others detailed
William's schemes, and it was far worse than they had imagined.

wasn't going to happen.
She sighed softly.
Nash moved closer to comfort her. "Don't worry. William can't stir up too much trouble. But with all this chaos at
York Corporation, why hasn't Aunt Zoe stepped in to stop it?"
At that, everyone suddenly remembered Zoe.
Someone voiced their concern, "We've been getting pushed around at the company. Do you think something
might have happened to Miss Zoe as well?"
Manager Wood quickly dismissed the idea. "William wouldn't go that far. He wouldn't harm her."
Speculation wouldn't get them anywhere, so Nash sent everyone hand decided to confront William himself.
The night was dark and foggy, and the villa's lights shone brightly. Inside, the sound of laughter echoed through
the halls.
Nash pushed open the front door. Without acknowledging the couple on the sofa, he took a seat across from
them. The woman, embarrassed, grabbed her clothes from the floor to cover herself and quickly hid behind
William.
"Who is he, Mr. York?" the woman asked, addressing William as 'Mr. York."
Nash raised an eyebrow, amused, as he waited for William's response.
William cleared his throat and, with a stern face, said, "Go upstairs. Don't cback down until | say so."
"A mere call girl, and yet you're acting so protective," Nash said with
