All Chapters of The Richest Man in Metropolis is My Backer!: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

Cameron stormed into the room, her anger flaring with the same bitchy intensity. "Who said you could transfer your shares, Taylor?"And you, Lola! This company is Harry's life's work, and you've torn it apart? This is fucking outrageous! Over my dead body will you take ownership of this company!"Everyone, including Lola, was flabbergasted.Lola stepped forward and explained, "How is Harry going to run this company when he's in jail, Cameron? I've been in this company for over a decade. There's no one here more qualified to take this position than I am.""No one more qualified, my foot! You think I don't know what you're planning? You're stealing your own brother's wealth right in front of us!" Cameron shrieked."That's not what's happening, Cameron. I bought these shares with my own money. I didn't steal them.""Your brother's being fined close to 13,000,000 dollars by the IRS because of this company, and now he's drowning in debt. And here you are, taking his company from him.

"Sounds good." I was about to hang up the phone when I suddenly remembered something. "How about we have lunch tomorrow?""Sure."My emotions were running high, but I forced myself to remain calm as I said, "See you tomorrow then.""See you tomorrow."I couldn't help but giggle like a complete idiot as I hung up.Just then, my phone rang again.I checked the screen and saw that Soren had already sent over his bank details.After quickly texting him I received the message, I logged into my bank account and transferred the money.-I was in such a good mood that day that it was obvious to anyone who saw me. That was, until I was nearly done with my work.I was rushing to finish Soleil's dress, planning to work overtime, when I heard my phone ring.I got up to take a quick break before checking it. It was Edward.It had been a few days since I had heard from him, so I assumed he was calling to discuss our annulment."Hello?""Are you done for the day, Taylor?" Edward's voice

My mind was on red alert, and I stared at Edward in disbelief.Who would have thought Edward would turn out to be such a huge psycho?"This is against the law, and you know it, Edward! Get away this instant, or I'll— Ack!"Before I could finish, Edward shoved me toward my own house, cutting off my warning.Thankfully, my survival instincts kicked in. I grabbed onto the doorframe like a maniac, refusing to go inside.I knew the moment that door closed, I was done for."Help! Help!" I tried calling out, but the bastard suddenly kissed me!Still refusing to give him what he wanted, I turned my head away and fought back with everything I had.During the struggle, my hand landed on something from my shoe rack, and without thinking, I hurled it at him. I had no idea what it was, but I didn't care.Bullet came charging out, barking furiously before lunging at Edward's leg.Thanks to him, I managed to break free from Edward's grasp and reach for my phone. "Hello, police? I'm—""You

Soren had a powerful presence that made it impossible for others to deny him, and it was that very intensity that caused me to reveal the hand I had been hiding under the table."It's nothing, really. I just injured myself when I was closing the door last night," I muttered, still trying to cover up the truth.Without a word, Soren stood up, walked past the table, and sat down next to me, stunning me. I quickly scooted over to give him space.He didn't say anything further. Instead, he reached for my hand and tugged my sleeve up. His gaze darkened, a frown forming on his face."What about your other hand?" he asked.I hesitated for a moment before extending my other hand.When he took it, the warmth of his skin against mine sent my heart racing."How did you manage to injure both hands while closing the door?" Soren asked, his voice curious, unaware of the thoughts racing through my head.I figured there was no point in hiding anymore, so I decided to tell him the truth. "Edw

"You've got so many mannequins around—it's like I've stepped into another dimension," Soren remarked, his voice tinged with curiosity and amazement.I smiled. "I know, right? It gets even more interesting at night."Edward and I had chosen this location for our company building years ago, and now I rented four floors of the building.The three floors below my studio housed the office, including employee workstations, a gym, and the logistics department."It is a pretty decent working environment, if I do say so myself."The fourth floor, a spacious flat area of about 2,100 square feet, served as my private workspace.Certain aspects of Edwardian Taylor were confidential, and the studio contained a closet filled with a large number of expensive haute couture pieces and accessories.Because of this, only Cherry and I were permitted access to the studio. No other staff members could enter without my explicit permission, nor could they access the floor even if they managed to reach
