The Return of the French Tycoon Chapter 77
Rosalie abruptly awakened to the sound of blaring horns, the sound penetrating her ears as an unexpected alarm. His eyes opened quickly, meeting immediately with the sun rays that ran through the windows of the car, painting the interior with golden and warm tones. She found herself huddled in the seat of the vehicle, a sense of confusion spreading through her mind as she tried to organize her thoughts. His mind was a mess. The sudden awakening made her notice a mess at her feet: empty drinking bottles lay on the floor of the car, a disorderly memory of a night that seemed distant. A small groan escaped from her lips, a clear sign of the discomfort she was experiencing. Settling on the bench, Rosalie rubbed her eyes with her palm, trying to dispel any lingering drowsiness. "Did I sleep in that car?" "Or rather, did I pass out in this drinking car?" She looked at the doors and checked the locks. Soon she found that she slept in the car and the doors were not even locked... "My G

Duncan has exhausted all available channels to contact Rosalie. However, each missed call and ignored message was a stark reminder of the abyss that had opened between them. He backed down from the idea of forcing an encounter, recognizing that any impulsive action would only push her further away. A growing tension enveloped him, a palpable sense that time was running out and the game was about to reach its peak. "I can’t push her further away, but I can’t ease the pressure on the company." The strategy he had outlined, meticulously planned to pressure his mysterious enemy, was about to be activated. The tactic of undermining Empire with a flurry of invasive advertisements was like a moving piece, an audacious move to weaken the company that Rosalie was now struggling to use against him. It was a risky move, a direct challenge to his financial stability and reputation. The days unfolded in a tense dance of actions and reactions. Duncan watched with a combination of anxiety and det

Days had passed since Duncan had begun his direct attack on the Empire, seeking to undermine its foundations. However, as he contemplated Rosalie’s last maneuvers, he was surprised. Sitting in his office, his eyes fixed on the computer screen, he watched the scene of another investor she had won for Empire. A twinge of admiration mixed with frustration echoed in his thoughts. With each new alliance Rosalie established, a complex web of emotions formed in her mind. While the pressure he had applied was still punishing the company, her relentless determination to seek new investors was undeniably impressive. His lips pressed in a tense line, a silent testimony of recognition to this force that he knew existed in her. The computer screen was a portal to a reality that Duncan had contributed to creating, a battle of strategies that unfolded before his eyes. Although those new investors could not immediately pull Empire out of the crisis he had instigated, they represented a sign of resi

When Rosalie stood up from the table, throwing with a gesture of defiance all the paperwork towards Victor, she could clearly observe the barely disguised satisfaction on the man’s face, which served only to deepen the torrent of indignation she felt. It was as if the burning flames of anger were fueled by his expression, creating a boiling mixture of emotions within her. The notion that that man had the audacity to dismiss every one of his trusted employees in such an impetuous manner was simply unbelievable, inciting her further. His flaming eyes met those of Victor, and his words were an intense manifestation of his contained revolt: " How dare you do that? Who do you think you are to invade this space and simply fire all these people?!" Rosalie’s voice echoed with a penetrating blend of surprise and challenge, a vehement affirmation of her position and authority. Victor, in turn, remained unmoved, adjusting his suit with a casual gesture, as if playing a rehearsed role. His

" He stole my life," he thought with hatred as his fists clenched involuntarily.He had been trying to contact his uncle for hours, holding the phone against his ear with an almost inhuman force.

The environment, although spacious, conveyed a sense of oppression. The light walls, although beautiful, seemed to close on it, making the space even more claustrophobic. In the center of the room, a majestic canopy bed dominated the scene, and a large, luxurious mirror, reflecting the agony in Rosalie’s eyes, adorned one of the walls.In the corner of the room, strategically positioned as a sinister trophy, was a long wedding dress, a masterpiece of pure silk.

Louie is notoriously incompetent when it comes to you - Victor uttered with a touch of cynicism.
