View MoreLily waved the two good night, knowing full well tonight's scene would be all over the media by the time she woke up the following day.Letting out a sigh, she closed the door behind her and groaned, "I've appeared in the media this year more than I did all through my life as Victoria.""Of course, there is always a reference when you've already reached the top and when you are just coming up," Bryan replied and started the car. "I got your message.""I thought you said you were out of the country; how come you are here tonight?" They said at the same time, followed by a moment of silence to allow each other to talk before continuing."Father called me home," Bryan provided. "It wasn't something much so I didn't have to stay longer than necessary. So what's that about your message?" He urged impatiently."Well, I have built that lock system you sent in a virtual space. Most things went smoothly, but something is still missing, and I might need to see the real thing for myself to know
Lily let out a soulless laugh at Rosaline's words, her eyes stained with unshed tears. Rosaline, on the other hand, scowled at her while looking around them to see if people were watching.Wiping away the tears that gathered, Lily cleared her throat, and her lips spread in an amused smile. "You crack me up, Missy," she breathed out. "You think your little threat will faze me?""What do you want?" Rosaline asked, trying to maintain her calm despite the anger and shame she was feeling."Me? What do I want? From you?" Lily asked with a frown while sitting upright. "You came to me; I should ask you that question. And I don't want anything from you," Lily said with confidence. "There is nothing you can offer me that I do not have," she added, her tone full of pride and arrogance while giving Roseline a condescending look.Roseline, realising there was no way she would be winning the argument against Lily, sneered in anger, picked up her wine, and threw it on herself while screaming to get
"Are you okay?" Mark asked worriedly as he arrived at the studio to see the whole place in shambles. "What happened to her?""We got a mob coming at us; it's no big deal," Lily replied with a casual shrug as she put away the garbage bag she was holding. "What are you doing here though? I was expecting you to be busy with the project being approved now."Mark surveyed the destruction around them, concern etched on his face. "I came to check on you," he admitted. "I heard there were some disturbances in the area; you know, this side belongs to Watson's right? I was with my grandfather when it was reported. And I wanted to make sure you were safe."Lily's heart skipped a beat at his words, but she quickly regained her composure, forcing a nonchalant smile. "Aww, aren't you sweet? But as you can see, I'm perfectly fine. Just a little misunderstanding with some unruly individuals."Mark's brow furrowed as he took in the damage once more. "It doesn't look like a 'little misunderstanding'
Over the next few days, Lily continued to study how to break the Roux family's vault while making preparations for her major comeback and her revenge on the Hamilton family and those who had supported Henry in taking over her mother's company.As promised, Mark helped her acquire shares at the Hamilton Cooperation. The acquisition process was made even easier after the news about Dan Vick's scandals hit the news and the shareholder became desperate to jump ship to another company.Although Mark wasn't sure what exactly she wanted to do with the shares, he had gone above board to get her as much as he could acquire in that short period. And now, with his help, she had become the third person who held the most shares in the Hamilton Company, the first being Henry and the second being a shareholder who had gone missing almost immediately after Victoria's mother died.Lily let out a small chuckle as she read the document, showing that the shares belonged to her. Her eyes were filled with
"I've been expecting your call," Frederick chuckled into the phone immediately after picking up. "It took longer than expected, though; were you reporting me to your little boyfriend? Or maybe the cops?" He mocked.Lily scowled at the time in his voice; she felt her blood boil while glaring at his image that she had meticulously hung up on the wall. Picking up a throwing knife, she aimed it at the right eye in the picture, and without much effort, she hit her target.Letting out a satisfied sigh, she returned her attention to the call just in time for Frederick to go on again. "You were the one who called, and now you are silent? Don't tell me you are intimidated by my voice.""What do you want?" Lily questioned, her voice sounding unnaturally calm and composed. Frederick, hearing her words, raised a brow in surprise. He had been expecting her to be scared, panicking, or at least angered by his pranks.He let out a loud laugh, seeing how she was still unmoved by his pressure. 'Oh, how
As Mark dropped Lily off at her apartment, she went straight to the washroom to get cleaned before settling down to do some more studying of the materials given to her by the system. As she sat down in her work area, she noticed she had a message from the hacker's website. Deciding to take a detour before going back to work, she logs into the website to see that Dark Star has sent her several messages. Dark Star: We found the culprit.Dark Star: You will be compensated for defamation as agreed upon. Dark Star: I also have a new job for you; when you are available please send a message here. I'll be hoping to hear from you.Lily let out a chuckle as she read the messages. Even without buying the shares, she had wiggled her way into the Hamilton's. However, the only way she could have more say in the company's decision-making would be to have shares... as many as possible.Sinful: I did tell you the fault was not from me. I'm glad my name has been cleared. Sinful: I will be expect
"So what were you doing in our part of the city tonight?" Lily asked as they both settled down while waiting for their orders."I was coming to look for you actually," Mark replied truthfully. "I stopped by at the studio, and your manager told me you had just left, which is why I came in the direction I met you."Hearing his explanation, Lily nodded with a frown. "It's very unlikely for you to come looking for me without calling. Trouble in paradise?""You and I both know it was never a paradise," Mark chuckled with a glint in his eye. Talking to Lily had somehow ease all the tension he had accumulated throughout the day."I'm sorry if I caught you off guard," he added, making Lily shake her head."You don't have to apologise; I'm already eager to help." She waved him off. "So what's the matter this time? Does it have anything to do with why Frederick came after me today?""No," Mark replied. "It's a different issue. This one is about my late sister and the cause of her accident."Lil
"You don't look as wormed out as I was expecting you to look," Frederick muttered with a dissatisfied frown as he took in Lily's beautiful and elegant appearance.Hearing the comments, Lily turned back to see who had made it. Seeing Frederick standing behind her, dressed in a trench coat while standing beside a black Lamborghini, she rolled her eyes and continued her walk."It's not good to ignore someone talking to you, Missy," he called out with a dark chuckle. And with a signal from him, two men dressed in black suits blocked her path.Irritated, Lily hissed and glared at them before turning to Frederick with resentment-filled eyes. "Given the type of education you had, one would expect you to understand what it means to be left alone, but alas, I can only wish," she gritted out, and Frederick smiled."How can I possibly leave such a beauty alone?" He replied. "The more you struggle, the more I want you," he added and began walking towards her."I was expecting to see you with mas
Hearing Dexter's words, Mark's hand movement stopped as his mind took several seconds to process the information. His eyes flickered towards Dexter's, trying to see if the other was messing with him like he always does, but seeing how serious Dexter looked, Mark knew this wasn't one of his usual jokes. "You are talking about the driver from the accident scene, are you not?" He asked in confusion, not wanting to believe what he heard the first time. "The one that was supposed to have died in prison?" Dexter gave a nod and sank back into his chair. "The exact one," he replied. "I'm talking about Mister Parker.""How is he alive? We confirmed he was dead; I saw his body myself." Mark mused. "Well, apparently he wasn't. Someone else took the fall for him in prison, and the dead body we saw that time was made," Dexter began. "It took me a lot of digging through some archived files and trying not to get caught before I was able to get that much information.""He's living on one of those
Victoria vomited blood as she held her stomach in pain. She glared daggers at her father, who was smirking down at her, a triumphant smile on his lips, his eyes glinted with mischief and pride. Hatred bubbled in Victoria's heart, and her blood boiled with rage as she thought about her latest discovery, about how the evil couple, her father and her stepmother, who had been her nanny when her mother was alive, had poisoned her just so they could take over her mother's wealth.Her father sneered mockingly, "So what if your mother left everything to you? So what if you know that we schemed and killed your mother to take her wealth? What can you do about it? You are still too powerless to do anything; even your death would mean nothing, just like your mother's!" He boasted hauntingly, which further boosted Victoria's rage."Why? What did my mother do to you?" She choked out, blood spilling out of her mouth with every word. Kate, her stepmother, sneered with hatred, "She took my husband! ...
