"Are there any shares left at Sundown Nightclub, Mrs. Gallagher?" I asked, rolling my eyes slightly.

Mrs. Gallagher quickly understood. She clinked her glass against mine with a smile.

Surveillance cameras had been the best way to gather more evidence. And as a shareholder, I had every right to do so. It didn't take long for me to understand why Faye had clung to Warren.

Xenith Group had been in talks with our company about a partnership for a while, but the negotiations had stalled. Then, out of nowhere, they started offering concessions.

Faye clearly had been working behind the scenes. She had gone to great lengths just to secure her place in the company and get back at me.

I smirked at how short-sighted her vision was.

When I returned home, Mom looked delighted and asked Lydia to prepare a feast for me.

"What brings you home all of a sudden today, Audrey?" Faye asked with a smile, though her eyes seemed guarded.

Mom sighed with relief when Faye didn't say anything unpleas

    As expected, Warren started pushing drinks on me just like before. I could hold my liquor, so after a few rounds, I saw him begin to lose his patience.Faye and Warren exchanged a look, and I noticed something malicious in their eyes."Quick, waiter! Bring out the wine I've been keeping here," Warren called, waving for a waiter.A masked waiter came in, holding a bottle of red wine. I looked up and froze for a moment—the waiter seemed familiar."This dinner isn't just about finalizing the deal, Audrey. It's also to make up for what happened before," Faye said. She fumbled with the wine as she poured me a glass and set it aside to breathe, her eyes wary."You've had too much to drink tonight, Audrey. I'll take this one for you," said Mindy Lynskey, one of my old teammates.She suddenly stood up and reached for the glass in Faye's hand, but Faye smoothly dodged her."What's going on here?" Warren questioned, clearly displeased. "We just served the good wine, and you blocked it rig

    "Give it to me!" Faye yelled.She scrambled to her feet and lunged at me, reaching for the USB drive. But I kicked her back down before she could touch me."Let's begin with the first part, shall we? Let's see how Warren tricked your precious daughter," I said, my sarcastic tone hanging in the air.The video played, getting more disturbing with every scene, but it wasn't over yet.It revealed Faye and Warren's plan to lure me into bed, get me to drink the spiked drink, and how Warren's assistant took Mindy, disguised as me, away from the restroom.The living room fell into a heavy silence when the video ended. Faye collapsed to her knees, completely drained."Well, that's the full extent of my revenge on your wonderful daughter," I said, smiling at Mom, though my vision blurred. "I've called the police. They'll be here soon to take her away."Dad's face went pale, and he trembled slightly. He reached out, trying to pull me toward him. "Dree… Faye's the one who wronged you. But y

    I frowned as I watched the three of them crying uncontrollably before me. The young woman in Mom's arms trembled as she wiped away her tears. Their cries filled the room, loud and raw."I'm finally home, Mom! I'm never leaving you and Dad again!"Mom broke down even more when she heard her biological daughter's words.Next to her, Dad's eyes were red. He occasionally patted their shoulders, his voice thick with emotion as he said, "Alright, now. That's enough. Look at you two, crying like that. Today's supposed to be a happy day. Faye's finally home!"Mom reached out her shaky hand to touch Faye Stone's face. "My sweet Faye, you've been through so much all these years!"I quietly watched as it all happened. Faye was Mom and Dad's biological daughter.I had known since young that I wasn't their real daughter. I didn't have parents. I was born in a small-town hospital, and my birth mother passed away shortly after giving birth to me.Faye lifted her head in Mom's arms, her voice w

    I gave Faye a quick glance. Honestly, her figure wasn't made for that dress. I was about to say something when her expression abruptly changed."What's up with that look, Audrey? Who do you think you're judging?" Faye asked.I frowned slightly, never expecting her to get so worked up over one glance."What's your deal?" I shot her an annoyed look before continuing to deal with the papers on my desk."You feel good being the usurper, huh? This is the Stones' company. What makes you think you belong here? Don't you get it? You're not part of the Stone family anymore." Faye rolled her eyes, glaring at me like she could burn a hole through me."The Stones' company?" I asked, incredulous. "I'm the usurper?"Hadn't Mom and Dad told her by now? This company wasn't hers and definitely didn't belong to the Stones. It belonged to Uncle Declan.Faye walked right up to me with her chin raised, her confidence practically spilling out. "Can you stop with the drama already? You've been living

    The senior executive asked, "Don't you think it's too much to take over 'your family's' company when you don't even know what you're doing?"He stressed on the words "your family" and didn't even glance at Faye.Dad went silent, his posture slumping slightly.The news that I left work early spread quickly in the company.I'd been with the company for years, grinding through whatever was thrown at me, getting better little by little. I earned my team's trust not because of my connections but because I put in the work. I showed them I could lead, even when they didn't have faith in me.Once I passed everything over to Jane Hollis, I was ready to leave."You're seriously not coming back, Audrey? We can't have anyone else take over," Jane whined as she helped me carry my stuff.Her chubby face looked even more adorable when she was upset. I gave her cheek a pinch just like I always did."I'll be back. Give it three months. She'll quit on her own," I said.Someone as sensitive as F

    Dad didn't seem to believe Faye could have such a dark and twisted side.Mom was the first to react. She grabbed Faye's hand and chided, "Do you really think you'd be in this big house with these fancy clothes if it weren't for Audrey?"Every time you blew all that money on makeup products, whose card do you think you were swiping? You honestly think your dad and I could pay for that?"Mom lost her usual calm. She yanked at Faye's clothes and told her to apologize to me.Faye went from being too shocked to speak to hiding her resentment in seconds. She knew when to back down."I'm sorry, Audrey. I didn't know about that. I was judging you unfairly…" She kept her gaze down, her thick bangs falling over her eyes."There's no need to transfer the position back to me. If Faye's interested, let her take it for now—learning as she goes won't hurt," I said, taking a sip of my coffee and glancing down at Faye, who crouched at my feet.I didn't say it out of kindness. I just thought that
