Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 34|The Wrong Idea
Fortunately, I'd cleaned the front and inside of the house. I didn't have to be embarrassed about having guests so early. Ah, noon. It was almost noon. To my relief, I washed my face and brushed my teeth while chatting with Jasmine.I opened the door. It wasn't one, but two handsome men who came to see me. If Jasmine knew this, she would be even more jealous of me.“He forced me to come here to bring you lunch,” Brad stated.Russell showed off his neat white teeth as he held up a large bag with the label of my favorite restaurant. “I don't know if your family is home, but this is enough food for us.”I opened the door wider. “You should have called first.”“I wanted to surprise you,” Russell remarked. He looked at the inside of the house. “Is there no one home but you?”“My parents are away on vacation. Come on, let's go to the dining room.” I closed the door and led them to the back of the house.“Then we came at the right time,” Russell hummed.Of course. However, I didn't say it ou

[Otis]After flying for about two and a half hours, the helicopter arrived at the destination city. Thankfully, there was a helipad not far from Father's villa. So I didn't have to travel any longer. A car was waiting, and Jasper let me in.Fifteen minutes later, we arrived at the lakeside. I deliberately parked the car far enough away so that no one would notice our arrival. I didn't care about bothering Father, but his two guests were my guests, too. I had to be polite to them.“Good afternoon, sir,” Nick greeted politely. “Master is waiting for you in the study.”“That's odd,” I remarked. “Usually I have to do drama to get him to see me.”“Master doesn't want his two guests disturbed,” he replied.Understanding what he meant, I followed him to the study. The bedroom was upstairs. So, our conversation downstairs wouldn't be heard all the way upstairs. After all, the office was deliberately built to be soundproof so that conversations from inside wouldn't be heard outside.Father must
Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 36|In My Hands
I was secretly watching very important people to Father. I had no idea why I was doing that, but I started it on a whim. First one person, then the opportunity opened up and more and more people became involved.Ten people very close to Father's business borrowed a sizable amount of money from my company. I didn't know why they didn't borrow from Haworth Incorporation, and I didn't ask.I was grateful that my playfulness had paid off. I was holding important people I could sway when making big decisions. The fate of Father and Farrell was in my hands. All I had to do was snap my fingers, and everyone turned against them.“Do you mean I need to send an ad to those twenty names?” Jasper confirmed.“Yes. Don't miss a single person.” I rubbed Mother's gravestone.“What about the ten people who have borrowed money?”I smiled. “Make sure they get new funds if they need them.”“Won't you go bankrupt, sir?” asked Jasper worriedly. “They always borrow large amounts of money.”I knew the risks

[Camari]What an unforgettable first day of work! The first meeting I led didn't go as planned. Files piled up on my desk and my boss', none of which I could hand over to the division that needed them.I didn't know whether to be angry or worried about Otis and Jasper's attitude towards me. On the one hand, they were my friends. But on the other hand, Otis was my boss. I couldn't do whatever I wanted to him.Realizing I hadn't eaten anything since the afternoon, I called Jasmine. She agreed to have dinner with me. We chose a restaurant in the middle so that we could arrive at the same time. I braced myself for the traffic jam.Arriving at the restaurant, I didn't find Jasmine anywhere. It looked like I had arrived first. Unable to wait, I ordered some food and drinks. The waiter delivered my order just as Jasmine arrived.“Sorry, I didn't wait.” I grinned.“No problem. Go ahead and eat. You must be hungry.” She smiled.“How are things at the office?” I asked curiously.“Everyone is pa

Although I didn't see her face last night, I know she was the one who protected me from Mrs. Bloom's attack. Why was she doing this? Was there anyone who would hurt me in the lobby? Why did people like to make me an outlet for their anger?“I won't do it if you don't accompany me,” I threatened.“You may go first,” she said.I narrowed my eyes on her. But I had no time to waste. Work hours were about to start. So, I complied by walking towards the fire escape. There was no sound or noise from upstairs and downstairs.“Who are you? Who sent you?” I asked as I climbed the stairs.“My name is Nicole Barber. Mr. Otis Haworth hired me to protect you,” she replied.“Why do I need protection?” I turned to her.“I'm just doing my job, Miss. I'm not allowed to ask questions,” she answered.I went out on the second floor and stood before the elevator. After waiting for a while, the doors opened. I pressed the button for the upper floor and stood patiently. Arriving at my destination floor, I sa

I accepted the offer to work for him to repay Farrell. But all I needed was a chance to see him more often. That way, I could prove that he loved me, not Bella.Otis couldn't have planned such a simple retaliation. Did he intend to usurp Farrell's inheritance? Thinking about it, Otis was more entitled to Grandpa's company because he was his son. His physical shortcomings must be the reason why Grandpa prefers his grandson.Otis was far more talented. He founded the company with his own hands. I couldn't stop marveling at the wealth of his company and the profits he made every month. No wonder Precious Fund was in the top five best financial companies.“Before I answer, what happened on the weekend? Why did you change?” I asked.“My father betrayed me. Don't ask me for details,” he replied briefly.I nodded in understanding. Otis had his reasons for being brief, and I had no right to force him to open up. Her family secrets were none of my business. Just hearing the word betrayal was e
Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 40|Her Touch
[Otis]I stared at my right hand. Camari touched it two nights ago. If I could, I wouldn't touch water or wash it forever. My heart slowly beat faster. Only thinking about her, my body gave a reaction I didn't expect.I didn't know why the nightmare was back. I hadn't thought about Jim and everyone from my high school in a long time. Although I was bullied in middle school, the worst incidents were in high school and college because my friends were like giants around me.Maybe my short body gave them the courage to make fun of me. After all, I was an easy target. Father didn't care what happened to me. I came home battered, but only Mother cried for me.Father never talked to the school or tried to stop the abuse I was receiving. His silence made the people at school and college even worse. Because the person who attacked me was the son of a prominent person, the school chose to remain silent.Had I hired a bodyguard a long time ago, perhaps my psychological state wouldn't have been th
Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 41|Got Under Her Skin
[Camari]I couldn't correctly guess because I didn't expect her to be the one to see Jasmine. Didn't she ditch us and prefer Bella? Why else would she come to Jasmine and ask for her help?“I don't understand,” I admitted. I tried to digest her words. “Emily came to you to ask for job information?”“She didn't know I was fired but knew the company was in trouble. She asked me to let her know if I knew of any job openings for accountant positions,” Jasmine replied.“Where is Bella?” I furrowed my brow.Jasmine shrugged her shoulders. “Maybe she didn't need Emily after her mission was over. I wouldn't be surprised if that evil woman only used her. Just like she did to you.”“Oh my,” I muttered in concern.Bella was so evil that she dumped Emily after she helped her. She must have promised something for Emily to do the risky job so willingly. What a pity. After being fired, Emily had to look for a job, and Bella didn't provide a position for her in Thompson's company.“Never mind her aga
