CHAPTER 125: Changing the Tune

last update Last Updated: 2024-08-29 21:19:18

MEI’S POV:

Weak and useless.

It’s not a surprise that Betty and Elmyra aren’t smart enough to play and stay dirty. And now, they’re paying the price.

On TV, their faces are pale as they're handcuffed and arrested by the police out of their homes. Their crimes have been exposed to the world, but they never fully admit to any of them.

They also mentioned my name in the CCTV recordings that are circulating all over the net, causing my business’ sales to fluctuate even further and for the public to crucify me. Due to this, I can’t compete, much less destroy Hazel’s business.

The only positive thing about the CCTV videos, is that Elmyra nor Betty never said that I’m the mastermind or that I helped them k.idnapped their grandsons. All they said was to ask me for help to find their grandsons.

However, that doesn’t stop the police from interrogating me once again. I let them talk to my lawyer this time, so I can avoid making a mistake.

I also consider giving them my gift to bribe them

    REVE’S POV: A vile glint appears through my glare, and Mei fearfully steps back. And then, I chase after her when she starts running towards the study room. She closes the door, but I manage to slide my arm through and push the door open with all my might, causing her to reel backward. She tries to scream for help but I quickly clutch her mouth with my hand. I then pin her to the desk, and using my belt, ties up her wrists on top of her head. “Marius is just manipulating you. So don’t fall for it,” I say. “He wants you to lose me, a strong ally. Haven’t you thought about that?” I loosen my grip on her mouth, so I can hear her response. “Marius will love me, I’ll prove that to you!” she hisses. It’s no use. She’s completely blinded by her obsession with him. But, too bad for her, coz I’m also obsessed with her. I rip off Mei’s nightgown in one swift movement, then her b.ra, exposing her small t.its. I then lean down to s.uck and bite her n.ipples as hard as I can. I slide my l

    MEI’S POV: I don’t care if Reve will despise me for doing this, but this is the only way I can think of how to get rid of him and stop him from blocking the progression of my relationship with Marius. I call Reve, and immediately, he picks up my call. -[“Have you seen my email?”]- he asks, quite anxiously. I don’t want him to poison my mind, so nope… I won’t be reading any of his texts, emails nor I will be answering any of his calls from now on. This one is the last time I’ll be communicating with him. “Come over here. Let’s talk,” I say, before disconnecting the call. As expected, Reve doesn’t disappoint me. But the moment he steps into my penthouse, the waiting police lunge at him and handcuff him. He tries to fight back as he growls at me, “What’s the meaning of this?!” The police officer responds on my behalf, “You’re under arrest for r.aping Ms. Mei Zhou.” “R.ape?” he echoes. “She liked it!” But none of the police listen to him.

    LESLIE’S POV: I’ve been loving Hazel secretly since the day I met her. But I had to step back when she suddenly got engaged to Carter Whitlock. Who am I to compete with that guy? When I discovered that Hazel didn’t die from the car accident, and was still desperate to divorce Carter, I knew that was my chance to be her hero. Yet, I failed again. Marius Thorne, another man I can never compete with, replaced Carter in her heart. So again, I sank back into the shadows and just watched Hazel from afar. After that second heartbreak, I promise myself that I’ll be extremely rich and influential too. So I took on two jobs at the same time. Sure, I’m earning more than the average employees, but I’m still so far away from either Carter and Marius’ level. When Mei Zhou presented a tempting opportunity, I pondered through it day and night. And tonight, I’ve made my decision. I meet Mei Zhou in a high-end restaurant just at the border of the city. Before we can even begin talking, she h

    HAZEL’S POV: Leslie seems so anxious about something, but when I ask what it may be, he just forces a smile and reassures us that he’s alright. Almost every afternoon, Leslie would come and visit me, bringing flowers and treats with him. “These are for you. I thought these will make you feel better,” he’d say sheepishly. I appreciate the gesture, but I hate being pitied. And since he regularly comes back here, me and the staff have to always be alert and hide the children in their rooms. I know Leslie is trustworthy, but we can’t take the risk, not until Marius already gathers evidence to jail Mei Zhou too. Due to this, I feel so much more restricted than I already am. So I’m forced to be more expressive to Leslie. “Thank you for your concern, but please don’t visit me here every day,” I say, looking for a suitable lie. “Uhm… my psychiatric treatment… Part of it requires me to rest, and I can’t do that if you keep on coming over here.” Guilt gnaws at my insides when Leslie’s

    Panic swamps me as the flashback of Marius and Mei Zhou’s kiss start haunting me again. Marius and I are doing better now compared to what we were when Mei Zhou first appeared in our lives. And these photos may ruin us again. I need someone to talk to, to release my pain about this! Not papa obviously. So I call my psychiatrist but she’s not picking up. She’s probably asleep by now since it’s already late. I also call Marius, but when he answers, I can’t find any words to say to him. Marius senses my discomfort and asks, -[“Are you okay, my love?”]- Even that question doesn’t get a response from me. Should I go to Marius’ office and confront him about this instead? But that’s humiliating. Perhaps I should wait for him to be back home. As I frantically pace my bedroom, my phone rings. I thought it’s Marius calling back out of concern, but it’s Leslie. -[“Hey. Thanks for picking up my call. Just called to check on you.”]- Without thinking much, I blurt out, “Can you drop by

    More of Mei Zhou and Marius’ intimate photos keep being delivered to me. There are photos which show them in a jacuzzi, n.aked, while drinking wine. Other photos show that they’re having dinner in what looks like a fancy restaurant. When did Marius do all these? While I was breaking down? While pretending that he’s saving our sons? I confront Marius about this again, and all he can say is that those photos are fake, edited. But it’s hard to believe that. I open up to my psychiatrist about the matter, hoping she can give me some advice or medications to help me not fall into the same darkness I was in a week ago. She ends up asking me and Marius to have a sit down with her. As expected, Marius vehemently denies the photos. “I told you, Hazel. Those are fake. If you want, let's have a photo editor who can prove my innocence. I’d never cheat on you,” he says. I bit my lip, not sure how to respond to him. The psychiatrist asks for a private conversation with Marius for a moment. T

    It’s hard to trust people anymore! Even the ones who have been very nice to you for a long time can quickly become an evil person in just a snap of a finger! I rush out of bed, and try to open the door, but it’s completely locked. When I try to scream for help, Leslie quickly clutches my mouth with his hand. “Don’t make things complicated, Hazel,” he says. “Let’s just be happy together.” The instant Leslie whirls me around and removes his hand off my mouth, I spit at his face. I then run towards the kitchen and luckily find a knife. I point the knife at Leslie, “If you come any closer, I’ll kill you!”He stops and raises his hands up. “Put the knife down. You may hurt yourself.”My hands tremble as I swing the knife to his direction.Fearfully, he steps back.“Unlock the door!” I demand.But Leslie lunges at me, trying to steal the knife from my grasp. I fight back, not letting go of the knife.Though Leslie is taller than I am, he’s flimsy, so I’m able to shove him down the floo

    Being the world’s richest and powerful couple is an honor, but comes with it the burden of attracting possible new jealous and evil individuals. To prepare for this, Marius and I put the country’s Chief of police and the General of the army on our payroll in exchange for their protection of our family’s well-being. Additionally, we befriend some politicians here and abroad by funding their projects and election campaigns. We also keep our contact with the hacker and the cosmetic artist. Though we’re not yet needing their help again, we’re sending them and their families’ gifts every once in a while - a way to show our appreciation for the skills and to keep them loyal to us. Everything is going well. Except,... My relationships with my former and my current mothers-in-law. They remain adamant in forgetting our pasts. Even so, we maintain our respect for each other unlike before. Plus, they always visit their grandchildren to spend some time with them. “Elmyra,” I begin, trying to

    Charles Guo Committed S.uicide Behind Bars! - That’s the headline of every news outlet. I’m shocked that he’d do this to himself. But to make sure that this isn’t just a lie so that he can escape jail, I head to the morgue myself. And there he is - white and cold, with a chain mark on his neck. There’s a little guilt in me, but there’s also a huge relief. Suzy and the others who vouched for him in the courtroom are now in jail for lying, awaiting their trials. The second DNA results of Rain and his grandparents turn out to be positive, and the one Suzy presented to the court is proven to be fabricated. This, hiding Rain’s father’s death from the law, and hiring my former bodyguards to become their spies and kill my family, add to the charges she’ll be facing, making it difficult for her to pose bail. “P-please, Hazel… I’m sorry I chose my husband over you. He threatened me, that’s why I have no choice,” she cries, clutching the bars of her cell.I raise an eyebrow. “You didn’t

    My tears continue to cascade from my eyes, as I chase after Marius, who’s on a stretcher and being rushed to the emergency room. “Ma’am, you can’t enter,” the doctor says as she shuts the door in my face. I sink to my knees and clutches my tightening chest. Oh God! Please, save Marius! Don’t take him from me! Hours pass, but the emergency doors remain closed. There’s no update about Marius’ situation so far. Betty has arrived too, panicking and sobbing, which only makes me even more apprehensive. The nurses help her to calm down by giving her some medications. Then I sit beside her, hoping to give and get comfort. But,... “If I lose my son too, I will kill myself, and will blame my death on you,” she says, coldly. I stop myself from responding. This isn’t the right time and place to argue. Finally, the doctor steps out of the emergency room, his expression grave. “The patient is in a coma and will be under monitoring. The bullet has pierced through his left lung, but it’s

    A week has lapsed,...And finally, the judgment day has arrived! Will fate back us up? Or will it vouch for Charles instead? Inside the courtroom, Charles looks calm, a complete turnaround from how he was when he’s in our basement. Sitting on the bench behind him is Amber, Rain and Suzy. I saw those three earlier, arriving separately. The media were all over them, throwing questions about the scandal surrounding their family’s odd relationships. They ignored them. And just like Charles, they all look calmer than how I was expecting them to be. When the trial begins, the first case that’s discussed is the m.urder of Rain’s biological father. Rain’s grandparents get on the witness stand. Their emotions rise as they state how they remember their son when he was still alive. “He just suddenly came home one day with groceries and shopping bags that we knew he can’t afford, given the salary he’s getting in Mr. Guo’s factory,” the father says. “Soon, he brought us a brand new house

    HAZEL’S POV: It’s proven that Amber Stark can’t be trusted. But, what about Suzy and Rain Guo, will they side with me and Marius? Marius and I, disguised as Crystal and Chris, meet Suzy and Rain in a high-end cafe. “Give us the list of Charles’ illegal businesses, and we promise that all of his wealth will be yours,” I say. Suzy responds, “Believe it or not, my husband doesn’t have any illegal businesses, so there’s no way you can lawfully freeze his access to his wealth.” It seems like we can’t trust these two as well. If only our hacker can find these pieces of information, then we won’t need to bargain with them. But our hacker has limitations too. Suddenly, Suzy’s aura shifts! “However, I can give you the identity of Rain’s biological father. You can use his death against Charles,” she says. That’s a help, but that's not enough to freeze Charles’ assets. Charles may still be able to utilize his wealth to manipulate the authorities. After giving us the details of Rain’s

    AMBER’S POV: Crystal Wu’s offer is tempting, but she and her husband can’t be trusted. Plus, Charles won’t be defeated that easily. I call Charles through my phone since he hasn’t come back home yet. When he picks up, he sounds a little more enthusiastic than usual. Even when he’s celebrating something huge, he isn’t like this. “Weird,” I murmur, then continue with a clearer voice. “Be careful. Crystal Wu is planning to destroy your finances, and she’s trying to use me against you.” His enthusiasm doesn’t falter. -[“I’ll be careful. Thanks for letting me know.”]- He then drops the call, and I can’t reconnect with him when I try to call him again. Frustrated, I send her a text message: -[Where are you anyway? I need s.ex!]- But, there’s no reply. I meet Rain and Suzy, who are having their lunch in the dining area. Then I tell them about Crystal Wu’s scheme. “She wants me to know all Charles’ illegal businesses, so the government can freeze all of his wealth just like what hap

    HAZEL’S POV: It’s not easy to harden our hearts, but Marius and I must do it if we don’t want our enemies to get the better of us again. We already got access to our bodyguards’ and house staff’s past and current call and text message logs, and we identified five Guo’s spies in total. To stop them from continuously betraying us, we target their weaknesses - their loved ones. We gathered the traitors inside the study, and took their phones and their weapons. At first they’re confused until we explained why.“You’re spies of Charles Guo and you’ll pay for that big time,” Marius said coldly.Stunned, their faces paled and their bodies clenched. But none dared to deny it.“We have your family members, hidden in a place where you can’t contact or see them. If you want them to stay safe, you must follow every single thing we’ll demand from you,” I added with equal coldness.Alarmed, they tremble. One of them even kneeled down and begged,“Please, my family has nothing to do with my bet

    “Take off all the CCTVs now!” I roar. Frantically, the maids and the bodyguards uninstall all the CCTVs in every corner of my estate. It may lessen the safety of my home, but I can’t risk giving my enemies more of our privacy! Once they’re done, I turn to Suzy and clutches her shoulders furiously.“I didn’t realize that there’s CCTV in that hospital room!” Suzy explains, trembling in fear. “Regardless! You shouldn’t have told the Thornes about our family’s affair!” I hiss, before pushing her onto the sofa. Then I turn to Amber, who’s fearfully hiding behind Rain. I wanna lash out at her too, but I stop myself. Even I didn't think that the CCTVs in my home used for our safety would be hacked to shove us into danger.Over the next few days, the mainstream and social media explode with news about our unconventional family relationships. We have become the laughing stock of the entire country. I can’t get out of my estate out of humiliation, can’t even accept an interview or a new

    CHARLES’ POV: There’s nothing! Crystal and Chris Wu’s cellphones can’t provide anything that’ll connect them to Marius and Hazel Thorne! I turn to Rain and ask, “Are you sure you don’t know them?” Rain replies, “They invested one billion dollars to my new business venture, but I don’t know them personally. And I also don’t remember ever inviting them to my prenuptial party.” Irritation courses through me. “You’re so s.tupid to not meet your investors in person! I’m not gonna be surprised why until now you can’t build connections on your own!” “And now we can’t be sure if we can trust those two or not!” Rain shrugs, unbothered in showing his disinterest. I can’t believe that I’m squandering so much wealth for this d.umbass! If only I’m able to produce my own son, I would never let him exist! Amber approaches me and seductively rubs her palms across my chest area. “Honey, I’m scared. Everybody is talking about us now. Shall we just confess our affair?” she asks without any hin
