Richest Mogul

Rosa spent the entire night scrolling through her phone and making calls, but she still couldn't reach Stephen.

A sense of unease gradually crept in.

When she tried to contact the company's finance director, his phone was turned off.

It was then that she realized she didn't have contact information for anyone else in the company. She had never considered adding employees on social media or keeping their phone numbers. She realized how little she knew about her own company. She had blindly trusted everything Stephen told her.

At this moment, Rosa began to understand that what Skylar had said might actually be true that Stephen had been deceiving her.

Her money-practically all her money-was tied up in the company. If Stephen was a fraud, then her money and the company...

Rosa didn't dare to think further. The thought of such consequences sent waves of panic through her.

Still unwilling to give up, she kept calling Stephen.

Just then, there was a knock at the door. Rosa was nervous as she glanced toward the door.

As she approached to check who it was, the person outside began shouting loudly.novelbin

"Rosa! It's me. Open the door!"

A glimmer of hope returned to Rosa's eyes after hearing Stephen's voice. She hurriedly ran to open the door.

When she opened the door, she saw a battered and bruised Stephen. His exposed skin-his face, neck, and arms-was covered in bruises. He was clearly beaten up. There was even an unpleasant and sharp odor emanating from him.

Rosa gasped in shock. "You... What happened to you?"

Stephen didn't bother to explain. "Let me in. I need to take a shower, and then I'll tell you something important."

Since Stephen had been staying

here, he was familiar with the place. He went straight in to take a shower. After that, he changed into fresh

clothes and came to sit in front of

Rosa.

Rosa was filled with questions. The moment Stephen sat down, she fixed her gaze on him and asked, "I saw the news online. You went gambling?

"Stephen, since the company started, it has been losing money and never turned a profit. Where exactly has my money gone?"

If Stephen hadn't shown up so suddenly, she had planned to go to the company herself and dig into the situation.

Stephen didn't expect Rosa to have seen the news. His eyes flickered, but he had already prepared an excuse on the way back.

"A friend brought me to the casino. It was my first time there, and I didn't expect someone to photograph me.

"That friend has always been jealous

of me. He lost a lot of money that day, and I was just worried for him. I didn't lose much myself, but it was a wake-up call to never go to such places again.

"Rosa, you know what kind of person I am, don't you?"

He played the victim perfectly, displaying just the right amount of sincerity and grievance.

Rosa was momentarily stunned but then frowned. Her doubts diminished significantly.

"That's what happened? Your friend is terrible! He's trying to hurt you. But it's understandable. You've always been excellent. It'll make people around you jealous."

Stephen immediately nodded. "Last

night, I went to confront him, and he actually attacked me! He beat me unconscious and dumped me near a garbage bin. I've never been humiliated like this in my life

"Let's go to the police! How could he behave so outrageously!" Rosa said angrily.
