Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 78|Ready for Battle
Father loved Arnold and Dorothy very much. They were golden children who never did anything wrong. If anyone complained, the one who reported them would be punished. That was how much he loved them.Therefore, people stopped complaining. They didn't want to get into trouble with Angus Haworth. That made Arnold and Dorothy do as they pleased, not caring if they harmed others.Father loved Dorothy too much to hurt her, let alone make her cry. Never in my wildest dreams would I have watched Father put his hands on Dorothy's body.Yet that's what happened in front of me and everyone else in the room. Father slapped Dorothy. Not just us, his daughter looked at him in disbelief. Dorothy's eyes glazed over, making me almost moved by it."I raised you and Arnold to be honorable people. You can't get that just by relying on your status as Haworth. Your actions and the words that come out of your mouth must be consistent with the honor of that name."I turn a blind eye all this time to your sham

[Camari]Two women claiming to be laboratory employees entered the room. They needed to take my and Nicole's blood samples on Otis' orders. Considering that Nicole and I were taking medication without our knowledge, I understood Otis' reason for doing so.After they finished, Deborah entered the room in confusion. I explained who they were to her. Nicole escorted them out, so Deborah came over and sat beside me. She brought out a bowl of ice cream for me and for her."Ice cream will make you feel better," Deborah explained, handing me a spoon."Thank you." I took the lid off the bowl and began to savor the contents.We didn't speak, just silently ate our ice cream. Deborah gave Nicole her share when she returned. She refused at first, but I urged her along. My bodyguard was also a victim of this incident.I was stunned. Otis and I only took sleeping pills, while Jasper and Nicole .... Oh, my God. Has something unpleasant happened to her? I was so busy thinking about myself that I forgo

I quickly approached them. Jasper looked very worried, so I performed first aid. I loosened Otis' tie and undid the top two buttons of his shirt. After unbuttoning his jacket, I patted his cheek."Otis, wake up. Take a deep breath. Don't let me face them alone." I coaxed him. "Take a deep breath, Otis. It’s Camari. Are you listening to me?"At first, there was no reaction, but I didn't stop calling his name. Seeing Otis' forehead start to wrinkle, I breathed a sigh of relief. He took a deep breath and opened his eyes.Jasper leaned Otis against the wall, and we backed away to give him some breathing room. I was calm as I watched his face slowly turn red. Otis looked around him, then looked at me intently. His face flushed, realizing I was in front of him."Oh, my God. Did I have an attack?” he asked Jasper. His bodyguard nodded slowly. Otis closed his eyes.“Since when did this happen?” I asked worriedly. "What are you afraid of in the hall? Are there people who have been mean to you a

[Otis]Of course, I wanted Jasper's colleagues to follow where they took the child. Unfortunately, I had to attend the press conference. I was looking forward to meeting the boy who was reportedly a Haworth.Nick started the conference on time. We all stood next to the podium, facing the reporters. Father announced my status in front of the media and for the first time stood beside me without hesitation. He smiled happily at the camera.My heart was beating rapidly at the sight of the hall full of reporters. My chest tightened even more when I saw the reporters scrambling to ask questions. I was on stage for too long. Fortunately, Jasper was alert to my situation.Damn. Why did the attack come at a time when I needed to be strong? Those people weren't looking at me condescendingly. They were just curious about me. You weakling! My body was completely useless."You shouldn't have pushed yourself, sir," Jasper said worriedly. But his voice sounded distant. My surroundings were suddenly d

[Camari]I woke up that morning feeling better. Moreover, Jasper taught me a new martial arts move. He was a great teacher. I could do the moves he taught me effortlessly after weeks of flexing my muscles.Seeing the different interactions between him and Nicole, I glanced at Otis. He nodded, confirming my guess. I cheered inwardly, knowing our bodyguard was romantically involved."Is there anything you want to explain to me, Camari?" Otis asked when we finished breakfast."Mm? What do you mean? I told you Eleanor met me last night," I said."Your intimate photos with Brad and Russell are all over the media." Otis cleared his throat.I laughed. "Don't be jealous. The angle of the pictures and the camera lighting made my normal interactions with them look intimate. They were all taken by Eleanor's hired guns. The paparazzi were stalking me.""How do you know Eleanor did it?" Otis asked in confusion."She showed me the photos at one of our meetings. I encouraged her to publish it. I don'

[Otis]I knew they were the secretaries of other directors. They attended the meeting on Monday. Nicole pushed them to make room and entered with Camari. I frowned at their entrance.I placed my hands on the table, trying to be formal. “What's going on?” I asked.“Forgive my presumptuousness,” Nicole said politely. "These two ladies have been gossiping in the restroom. Mrs. Haworth has warned them against it twice, but they don't care. I brought them here because they have insulted your father."“Is that true?” I looked at the two women.“I—” the woman on the left said.“Tell the truth!” Nicole scolded. "You were talking loudly in the restroom. Why the sudden nervousness?""I-I'm sorry, Mr. Haworth. I admit I was wrong,” the woman on the right confessed. "Please give me one last chance. I won't do it again."“What did you say about my father that upset Nicole?” I asked again.They exchanged glances and elbowed each other, urging the other to answer my question. Seeing their faces turn

[Camari]I didn't expect Otis to tell them to resign on the spot. I thought he would be forgiving and give them one last chance. Thankfully, he saw their guilt the same way I did. Their accusations against Father were fatal.I shuddered. I couldn't imagine looking up to Father more than my parents. We were close, but that didn't mean we had a romantic relationship. Although we weren't related by blood, we treated each other with familial affection.The mystery of Farrell and Bella's malicious accusations against me was finally answered. They thought I knew Father. Although I knew about his friendship with Granddad and the problems between them, I had no interest in the Haworth estate.I didn't know what to believe from the news in the media. So, I decided to ask Father everything at the right time. Our closest visit was a dinner invitation. However, we wouldn't talk alone."Really?" I said when Otis asked me to take Jasmine to eat together."Please reserve a place for the three of us,"

Niccolo asked Father to breathe regularly, and he complied. Once he was better, I gave him a glass of water. Father took a sip and then handed the glass back to me. Niccolo helped him by lightly massaging his forehead.I turned to Farrell, who had caused this to happen. What a stupid man! Couldn't he just shut his mouth and obey everything his grandpa says!? What was the harm in answering him nicely? Father's blood pressure wouldn't have risen if he had obeyed him."Thank you, Niccolo. I'm fine. Sit down, Camari." He smiled at me.I complied by sitting back at Otis's side. I could feel Eleanor, Farrell, and Bella staring at me intently. Seriously. They weren't trying to help but were angry at me for helping Father."Don't worry. I'll teach my son and daughter-in-law well,” Eleanor said. “Farrell will respect Camari and Otis, while Bella will talk to Thompson's publicist to help maintain Camari's reputation.”Father nodded. He turned to Dad. "You'll be returning on my plane. So, you don

Jasper moved quickly. He picked me up and ran to the car. Otis broke protocol by getting into the same car as me, but I needed him. So, I let him sit beside me.The medical team welcomed us to the hospital. My obstetrician greeted me and checked my condition. My feelings were uncertain when he said the opening wasn't quite there yet. We needed to wait until the time came.Our family arrived, helping me get ready. Otis stayed in the room with me. Whenever I needed him, I turned to him, and he would come closer. Hours passed, but the torment wasn't over yet.I grew more and more frightened as the pain became unbearable. Seeing Otis' pale face, I smiled at him. It must have been hard for him to see me in this state. It made me realize one important thing. There would be no other man like him in this world."Otis," I whispered. He came closer. "I don't know what would happen in the labor room. But I want you to know... I love you. I love you so much."Otis was stunned. His eyes then filled
Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 113|Ceasing Conflicts
[Camari]Otis was busy with the two companies he was responsible for. I thought everything was fine. He solved all of Haworth Incorporation's financial problems and replaced some old directors with his confidants.However, I had no idea why he bought shares from certain people in the company. I wasn't with him all the time since my pregnancy made it difficult for me to move around freely. So, he had lunch or dinner with his colleagues without me.He even bought shares in his company from people demanding that he step down from his seat. I wasn't the finance director, so I didn't know the company's financial position. But seeing Jasmine's calm demeanor, I concluded that everything was still under control.Therefore, I was surprised by today's announcement. Precious Fund Corporation and Haworth Incorporation were merging. Precious Fund remained, while Haworth Incorporation ceased to exist. What did Father think of this?The man I was thinking about came in with a cheerful face, making m
Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 112|Executing My Vengeance
Bella had just given birth. Following Father's instructions, we checked the baby and Farrell for a DNA match. The lab technician called to tell us the results were up for collection. Dorothy flew straight from her town to take care of it with me.Camari was twenty-eight weeks pregnant. I didn't want anything to happen to her if she met Bella in prison. She should be in a high-security place. The office had bodyguards and building security. I could rest easy if she were there."Otis!" Dorothy called.I waved the envelope of test results at her. "The results are here.""Come on, open it quickly," she said impatiently.I opened the envelope and took out the paper inside. I sighed when I saw the results. The question that had been bothering us was answered. For safety reasons, Dorothy and I headed to the prison in our respective cars.Ever since Bella attacked my car, I hadn't been in the same car with my family. Camari and I also didn't share a car when we went anywhere. She still drove

Our parents excused themselves from the living room. They ran away and didn't help me to explain the sentence to Camari. I swallowed and saw them smiling meaningfully. Didn't they know I was terrified?After the door closed and it was just the two of us, Camari cleared her throat. "Otis?"I swallowed hard. "Don't worry about the money. I have a personal stash that I've set aside for my wedding. So, I'm not taking the company's operating money."She smiled. "Are you afraid I'll laugh at your feelings?" she cooed. Camari squeezed my hand. "Thank you for loving me, but I can't say the same." She bowed her head."Camari, I—" I muttered, feeling bad."Please don't get me wrong," she cut in. "Give me time. Our marriage was unplanned. The baby came unexpectedly, followed by the blessing and the reception... I didn't have time to digest all the significant events I experienced in quick succession."You are a kind and gentle man. I'll have no trouble loving you. Therefore, I need time. I won't

[Otis]I stared at the loser man without blinking. He just lowered his head, not daring to return my gaze. He didn't touch the envelope I placed in front of him. He must have understood the purpose of my visit. And I needed an explanation."Silence won't make me forgive what you and your team did," I stated. "This is the first and last warning. If you dare forge people's signatures again, I'll shut down your law firm. You know I'm capable of that.""Mr. Haworth." He finally opened his mouth. "Neither I nor my team forged anyone's signature. If the client didn't sign, then Farrell did.""The client didn't show up for her divorce papers, and you were not her attorney. Was that Farrell's fault, too?" I asked. "My nephew died doesn't mean you can put all the blame on him. I'm not that stupid."I took the envelope back. "This is my proof of how negligent your law firm is. If you did it again, I wouldn't think twice about destroying you.""Mr. Haworth." The man stood up and followed me.Jas
Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 109|His Sacrifice
Otis and I went to separate places after work. He met Carlos to discuss business while I saw my psychologist. I cried my heart out in that room, telling Jennifer everything I'd been through over the past week.I felt so relieved after pouring out my feelings. Jennifer didn't suggest anything. She congratulated me on successfully ending my hatred for the two people who had done me harm.Otis was still talking to Carlos, so I went home with my bodyguard. Looking at the numbers on the elevator, I thought of someone. I pressed the number to my old apartment and smiled. She must be in her apartment.Sure enough. Deborah greeted me with a smile and the delicious cooking aroma inside her unit. She offered me her appetizing lasagna. We enjoyed it while chatting in the dining room."I'm sorry about what happened to your family," she said with concern.I liked the word she chose, family. She didn't mention Farrell as my ex-husband. "Thank you. What an unexpected turn of events. He was young.""
Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 108|Letting Go
[Camari]As the weekend passed, we went about our usual activities. Otis and I started the day with exercise. He swam while I practiced martial arts with Jasper. Things had been better since Nicole woke up, and Bella was in custody.I found it hard to concentrate since I was out of danger. I didn't know what was wrong with me. The day went by so fast, but it also felt so slow. I wasn't excited about the day either, even though I forced myself to smile so no one would suspect anything.Otis and Jasper entered the office, so I sat in my chair. My new bodyguard stood guard not far from me. I kept my distance from her to avoid getting emotionally involved. The incidents that happened to Nicole had left me devastated, and I didn't want to go through it again.I didn't know why people closest to me kept getting hurt. I just wanted it to be over. Farrell was gone. Eleanor and Bella were behind bars. Hopefully, no more disasters would befall me or my family."Good morning, ma'am," a security
Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 107|First Advice
[Otis]I had never felt so desperate as when I watched my wife being taken away before my eyes. I made the mistake of taking off my seat belt to kiss her cheek. As a result, my body was thrown and fell on the floor after the car hit something.Then, help came. People rescued us, and only then did I find out that our car tires were shot. Therefore, Jasper had difficulty controlling the car. He chose to crash into a shop rather than another vehicle. Fortunately, it saved our lives.We weren't hurt, but it was different with Nicole. They shot her arm, and she fell off her motorcycle. The doctor had to perform surgery as soon as possible to remove the bullet and fix the position of her broken arm and leg."Farrell and Bella have to die," Jasper whispered. He stared at the operating room door with red eyes. "Brad is tracking down Mrs. Haworth. Sorry, I can't concentrate—""Nicole is your girlfriend." I patted the back of his hand. "I understand."It took Brad hours to figure out Camari's w
Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 106|A Great Loss
After that deafening explosion, the room turned so quiet that my ears were ringing. I felt nothing in my body. Did the bullet lodged in the body numb the wound?I opened my eyes and saw that my lap was clean. There was no blood. Strange. No part of my body felt aches or pains. Did the shooter miss or misfire? I took a deep breath. No part of my body hurt, and I was still alive!"Noooo!!!" Bella shouted, startling me.My heart was beating fast. I turned and saw her running towards me. Oh, God. Did she want to kill me with her hands? I struggled, trying to break free from the bonds on my hands and feet, but it was in vain.Bella didn't approach me but knelt and held something under me. I turned and was surprised to see someone lying on the floor. Bella turned his body so that I could see his face. No way.That selfish man who only loved himself couldn't be lying there. He wouldn't sacrifice himself to save anyone, especially me. Farrell hated me. He only loved Bella. It was impossible.
