When she woke up the next morning, she found herself in Zayn's embrace and felt unsettled. She quickly Composed herself and eased herself out of his embrace trying not to wake him up in the process otherwise she would have a hard time explaining the situation."Hoof.." She exclaimed in relief and picked up her shoes and left.Zayn woke up soon after she left. He was still feeling drowsy and realized that he was covered in a pink-colored blanket. He picked up the blanket and went to the bathroom to wash up. By the time he was out of the bathroom, his phone had been vibrating non-stop on the coffee table.Zayn dried his hair as he answered the call, "What's up?"Mr. Meyer, you were right. It was Bent who wanted old Mr. Meyer's burial ground." Gael reported.Zay narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's his objective?“According to the person I sent to survey the land, there may be crystal ores beneath the burial ground.”"Crystal ores?

She quickly Composed herself and eased herself out of his embrace trying not to wake him up in the process otherwise she would have a hard time explaining the situation. "Hoof.." She exclaimed in relief and picked up her shoes and left. Zayn woke up soon after she left. He was still feeling drowsy and realized that he was covered in a pink-colored blanket.

Zayn dried his hair as he answered the call, "What's up? "Mr. Meyer, you were right. It was Ben who wanted old Mr. Meyer's burial ground." Gael reported. Zay narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's his objective? “According to the person I sent to survey the land, there may be crystal ores beneath the burial ground.” "Crystal ores? Zayn paused for a moment and then scoffed, "So th
“Yes, the Downey family not only has its fashion business, but its cloth material business. Because of Mr. Downey's relationship with the company, our company's requirements for cloth are provided by the Downey family," The colleague explained. Bethany nodded and said, "So that's the reason. I understand now. Thanks." "Don't mention it." The colleague waved. After he left, Bethany kept the name card in her bag and then went to look for Joanna to apply for a business trip. She had thought that Joanna would make things difficult for her but unexpectedly her request was immediately approved by Joanna. She did not think too much into it and took the approval to visit the Downey family cloth factory Due to the minuscule particles created by the clothing factory, it was built at a remote location It was already midday when Bethany arrived. After coming down from the car, she looked at the place and quickly dip her hand into her bag, and brought out her phone. She looked at the time and it w
Zayn raised his chin and said, "Of course. The purchasing department has some information on cloth suppliers. You can go and check out some potential suppliers.” "Understood. I'll go over now." Bethany nodded. After Bethany left, Zayn called Gael in a coldly ordered, "Announce that we will cease to have any business dealings with the Downey family." "Yes Sir!" Gael was shocked but he did as he was ordered. Very soon, the Downey family's cloth material factory received the notice of contract termination from the Blue Ridge Group. Within a short time, the Downey family stock stopped trading on the stock exchange. Mr. Downey was puzzled and quickly contacted zayn to find out the reason for the decision. Zayn just replied, "Ask your granddaughter”, and then he hung up the call. Mr. Downey did not know that his granddaughter had offended Zayn. He quickly ordered the steward to find out what Helena did that day. The steward was very effective and very quickly found out the details. Mr. Down
Bethany walked over to Zayn's table and said, “Mr. Meyer, to control the usage of the fabrics for the Oceania project, I'd like to apply for a dedicated storeroom to which only I have the sole access”. Apart from this reason, she also wanted to do this because of Joanna's evil intentions. In her understanding of Joanna, Joanna would try to do something to the material after she had obtained it. Joanna would do anything to force Bethany out of the Blue Ridge company and she can't afford to have her way just yet. “Okay” Zayn agreed without thinking twice and then he went ahead to say, “Next time you don't have to bother with all these arrangements. Just look for Gael and he would have everything arranged for you”. Bethany was surprised to hear the coldness in his tone and then nodded, “Okay. Then leave if there isn't anything else. I'll have Someone deliver the keys to you. ” Zayn instructed and waved his hand. Bethany was dazed as she looked at him and then turned to leave as instructe
Bethany shook her head in resignation and shifted her attention back towards her computer and got back to work. However, different thoughts kept running through her mind as she looked down at her computer. Bethany had spent the last few years hiding behind a fake identity to create an identity for herself and now, suddenly someone else is hellbent on taking credit for everything. Nobody in the Meyer family is as innocent as they look and I won't let anyone fool me! After work, Bethany decided to go pick up her daughter from the kindergarten before heading to Erica's place. It had been so many days since she last saw Jenna, so she was anxious to see her no matter what happened. She got to the kindergarten with a veil draped over her head to hide her identity. She waited outside of the gate until the school was over and Jenna came out of the school while looking around anxiously for Erica. Seeing her standing with a frown on her face, Bethany walked over to her. Instantly, Jenna recogni
Joanna noticed Zayn's unusual behaviour. Then, she traced his stare and saw the red marks on Bethany's neck. Suddenly her pupils constricted and she felt a strong sense of danger. She was so gripped with fear that she struggled to breathe. As an observer, Joanna was able to see clearly what was happening. The way he looked at Bethany's marks on the neck showed that he was jealous. He had known Bethany for such a short time and now he already had feelings for her. In comparison, Danica was on this side for five years and he had no interest in her. She decided there and then that she had to drive Bethany away as soon as possible otherwise she would not have a moment's peace. Thus, Joanna clenched her fists tightly and began to scheme. The meeting ended and everyone started to leave until only the three of them remained. Bethany approached Zayn and was about to discuss something regarding the models. Suddenly, the conference room door opened and a tall man entered. "Zayn! It's b
The reason why she was so certain that Joanna was involved was that only Zayn and Joanna were aware that she had met Bent. Zayn would never do such a thing and so it only left Joanna. She simply wanted to ruin Bethany's reputation at the Blue ridge group. What an unscrupulous thing to do. Everyone was shocked to hear what Bethany said and a few appeared guilty. Bethany recognized that those were the ones who were close to Joanna. All of them did not have any talents and repeatedly sucked up Joanna. "It's the few of you!" Bethany looked at them. When they realized that they had been discovered, they outrightly admitted, "So what?". “Apologize!" Bethany calmly demanded. Several people stood up and asked, "On what grounds? You did these shameful things so why can't we talk about it?” Bethany scoffed, “Shameful things? I don't even know when I was screwing Mr. Bent, Now you accuse me of it without any proof? How despicable. I will give you another chance to apologize and clear my name in
…..That night at Bethany’s mansion.Bethany was scrolling through a file on her laptop when her phone rang.It was a call from Barbara.“Darling, I have gone to pay my rest at the temple along with Vella. We will be back home very soon, don't worry everything is fine and Vella is having a lot of fun” Barbara excitedly explains everything in one goal.Bethany smiled, hearing her words.“Donnie, I hope you had fun visiting the places you wanted. And Vella wanted to see the greenery, hope she enjoyed it” Bethany stopped scrolling and asked with a smile on her face. “Yes, she did but she wanted Jenna to accompany her to see the green water fountain. So, she refuses to visit it without her” Barbara ruffled Vella’s hair and said. She looked at the little girl’s face and smiled.Vella beamed back at her. “Really? I should have sent Jenna along with her but Jenna didn't want to go back yet, she was worried about something but it's been taken care of. When you're back, I'll go along with t
“Don't be faster than your shadows. Zayn is not the type to get distracted by things like that. Let's lay low and strike when least expected” Joanna suggested. She knew his Zayn was like and didn't want things to get messed up. Bent on the other held his phone in his hands while his chest rose and fell at the mention of Bethany. Bethany had managed to capture Zayn’s heart and was a great asset to him, how could she go missing? “Talking of Bethany.That cocky woman humiliated me so much before, why are we even talking about her?” Sapphira was boiling with rage once she saw Bethany’s name. “You are not the only one.Bethany was like a huge thorn in my flesh, she came after me like a rival.I have a very bad feeling about that woman” Daphne cringed her face, thinking of the times Bethany made her life difficult. “Who is this Bethany and why was she after you all?” Dimitri seemed to be the only one who didn't have any encounter with Bethany. “That miserable girl was a menace. Who knew
Hearing his words, Mr.Meyer turned to look at him with seriousness.The expression appeared as though something had been awakened in his mind.“Do you really think so? If that's the case then we don't deserve to call ourselves her family, how could we fail to find her?” He viciously blames himself.“Why are you blaming yourself, old master Meyer? It's not even confirmed that the young mistress is alive yet. On top of that, the situation was too complicated and no one knew the truth.” Mr.Meyer Sr looked ghastly at the dark view of the sea and muttered.“If there's a chance that my dear Giselle is out there somewhere, I'll turn the whole world down to bring her back no matter what”His firm tone and cold expressions were a testament to his serious he was.“What are you planning to do, Master Meyer? What's on your mind?” The Butler asked, seeing his expression.“It's her death anniversary very soon. Wouldn't it be nice if we found her before then? That way we will get to celebrate her bi
Back in the hospital. The smile on Jessica’s face faded as soon as Zayn was gone.After he left, the smile on Jessica's face disappeared and she put on a cold face. The next moment, she pulled open the bedside drawer, took out a document, and opened it. She was a little sad. But soon she thought of something else and slowly touched on these words, revealing a frightening smile. Just then, she heard a soft knock on the door before Jeff walked into the room with his stethoscope in his hands. He carefully examined her and said.“Ms.Ferguson, there is nothing to worry about.If you look after yourself well, you'll be fine” “Dr.Emerson, why isn't Ms.Quest visiting you anymore? Did you two have a lover’s quarrel?” Jessica asked seriously with a pretentious smile. Jeff was caught off-guard. However, the mention of Bethany’s name caused his eyes to turn red with hate. Jessica was quick-witted, she saw his expressions but didn't say a word. “.Ms.Ferguson, Ms.Quest is quite busy that
“Jessie, Ms.Quest had gone on a business trip for a few days, she's not back yet. As soon as she comes back, I'll send her over to accompany you for a while” Jessica was disappointed when she found out about this.At first thing, she thought Bethany was keeping her distance from her after getting into a feud with Danica.She had read online that Bethany and Danica got into a fight after Danica’s show flopped but she didn't expect that things would get this harsh.Danica was the perfect villain and nks that things had gotten to this level, she song hold back anymore.“Is that so? That's alright.Ms.Quest is very kind hearted, she makes me so happy” Jessica said with a warm smile lingering under her eyelids.Zayn was surprised to see how sweetly she talks about Bethany.On Top of that, he noticed that the mention of Bethany’s name lit up a smile on her face.He didn't think too much about it and was glad.“Jessie, I'll arrange with the doctors and get you transferred to the Platinum Villa
“I'm dying, Zayn. I'm dying from everything, there's no reason to continue!” Jessica sounded so weak as if she had given up on life.A few weeks back, Zayn had motivated her to continue living no matter what.However, seeing that he had given up on her, Jessica decided she had no reason to live anymore.“What are you talking about, Jessica? You shouldn't give up so soon. I'm here with you now, I was a little busy and neglected you for a while, I'm so sorry” Zayn was apologetic as he took her hands into his and kissed them.Her thin hand was utterly cold and devoid of life. In the end, Zayn got scared.“You have too much to deal with now. Why would you bother yourself with my responsibility? I don't want to trouble you so don't worry about me”Even though it sounded as though Jessica was being considerate. In reality, she was pushing him to the edge to make him feel bad.Zayn couldn't bring himself to look her in the eyes, he blamed himself for her condition. So, he could only tighten
….In the hospital, Zayn waited at the door of the ward while the doctors attended to Jessica.He was worried sick and couldn't stand still no matter his much he tried.A few days ago, Jessica wanted him to visit her and stay by her side for a while to keep her warm and chase away her loneliness for some time.However, he was too busy and requested to visit her later.If things went wrong and she didn't make it, he would begrudge himself forever. At this time, a nurse came out of the treatment room anxiously and was heading out when Zayn stopped her in her tracks.“Nurse, what's happening to Jessica? She was just fine, right? How come she's critical?” Zayn demanded, feeling suffocated. Frustration was evident on his face as he couldn't help but worry about Jessica.“Mr.Meyer, I have no idea how Ms.Ferguson is faring right now. Her condition suddenly retrogressed and was rushed to the treatment room immediately then I had to call you up since there was no one else” Zayn was riled up
“ENOUGH! Shut the f*ck up, everyone!” After tapping his feet against the floor for umpteen times and they still continued to argue, Bent squealed loudly, causing them to stop brawling and look in his direction. “Do you know what your problem is? You never learn from a mistake. You all are so dumb and fall through without hassle!” Bent yelled, losing his patience at their trifling scuffle.Everyone was stunned by Bent's sudden outburst; no one knew what came over him.In the end, they all glared at him with curiosity and waited for him to say a word.Cone to think of it, Bent had been quiet the entire time and suddenly burst out with anger.“What's wrong with you, Bent? What's with outbursts? Did we do something wrong?!”Sapphira Grand, looked at her son and asked, tilting her head to grasp his expression.“How could you all not realise you are making a mistake right now? Do you not realize who the actual enemy is?” Bent asked, he had a somber seriousness to his tone. At the mentio
Once Zayn left, they turned to look at each other with complicated gazes. “Why would Zayn hurriedly leave in the middle of an important family meal? What was so urgent that he couldn't care less about Grandpa’s health before dashing off? Who knows if Zayn truly cares about Grandpa!”Joanna broke the silence with her rhetorical questions.Even though it sounded as if she was worried about the old man, she was simply trying to ignite the burning flame in his heart.She could vividly remember that Mr.Meyer Sr still held a grudge against Zayn for what happened to Giselle Medina. Joanna stole a glance at Mr.Meyer Sr and saw the vain expression on his face, she smiled hideously. She scoffed before saying.“Maybe, he's really busy today, Zayn’s never left Grandpa alone before especially while he's sick”At this time, everyone noticed the dark aura looming around Mr.Meyer Sr, he was getting offended at Joanna’s remarks but he couldn't say a word since he was telling the truth.Zayn had always
