As Lily and her family returned home, Lily's mother stopped Lily to sit in the living room so that they could have a discussion.

"Are you sure you want to go back to school?" She asked worriedly, keeping her eyes on Lily's every reaction.

"Yes, I have decided to go back now, I'm no longer taking a break for a year." Lily assured her with a firm smile.

Lily's mother looked hesitant, glancing over at her husband who sat beside her. The two of them were well aware of how Lily was being treated at school, especially how Merissa was always using her to stay at the top of their class. It was clear that something needed to be done, but they didn't want to upset their daughter by intervening or even their bosses.

Although she had initially been against Lily taking a break from school, after thinking about how the competition and Lily being back in school would benefit the wrong people, she had agreed to it without another argument and she even convinced her husband to do so. But now that L

    {You are more vicious than I thought.}Lily heard the system exclaim as she exited the chat with Sunset and she chuckled. "If you aren't vicious with your enemies, you will end up like my past self, dead without a way to vent," she explained with a gleam in her eyes making the system roll its invisible eyes. {You know he would make you take the blame if anything goes wrong and you still did that? How would you wash your hands clean? What is your plan to deal with him?}"Just wait and see. The testing day for such a program is three days and after that, it could be considered well-made, by that time, he would have already been promoted and the higher-ups would already know that he took that job!" She explained with an excited giggle. "Plus, I erased my involvement just now and nothing could be traced back to me, so he naturally would be blamed, after that, he would be demoted back to stage one but then I can't let him go. I want him to be kicked out completely so I will instigate th

    Hellen pursed her lips at the beeping sound from the other end, she reluctantly removed the phone from her ears with a bewildered expression. "What does she mean stain her reputation?" She muttered in confusion. She had just gotten off the plane and had not been able to log into her social media account but as she thought about Merissa's words, she knew something was off. Upon logging in, she was stunned at the several notifications of people tagging her, before she could read them, her driver arrived alongside her manager, Rex, who looked worried and suspicious. "You should log off your social media account for a while, things are not looking good for you at the moment," he warned as they got into the car.Hellen frowned, "What do you mean? I've been away for a long time to a place without internet and now that I'm back, I can't even log in. Why aren't things looking good?" She asked with a raised voice and the manager glared at her.He had been so stressed dealing with her scand

    Mr. Hudson rushed into the house, his face clouded with gloom and anger. He had just received a phone call from the company, informing him of a drastic fall in the company's stock followed by the news of his second daughter's scandal, which had been the cause of the fall in their stock price. As he noticed Hellen standing like an aggrieved child his anger flared up. "You!" he yelled angrily, feeling disheartened by her constant problem-causing attitude. It wasn't long ago that he had dealt with a minor scandal that had to do with her and now he is faced with another major one. Looking at the mother and daughter who had brought him nothing but problems since they came into his house, he couldn't help but regret his actions from years ago.His eyes flickered to Molly who was standing silently on the side and his heart ached.

    "Why do you always give me tasks at the most inconvenient time?" Lily asked with a glare as she heard the system's words.{I'm helping you! Miss Alana is a talented seamstress, she was born into a family whose main source of income is clothing. Their family is known for their exquisite hand sewing and they are considered one of the best in the market. But she is being suppressed and made to do small jobs so that she won't overshadow the daughter from the main family branch!} Lily let out a sigh, "Poor people truly have it hard, but I don't want to get involved in family politics, won't I be suppressed by her family if they knew I'm paving the way for the unwanted daughter?" She asked with a frown.Of course, she is no Mother Teresa who goes around helping people who are in need. Whatever help she renders has to have a much greater profit than the risk and from the look of things, saving Alana has more risk at this stage.

    "I hate it whenever she comes to our store to buy fabrics, she's always trying to find trouble with me," Alana groaned with a pout, making Lily chuckle at her cuteness. Realising what she had said, Alana covered her mouth and gave Lily an apologetic look."I don't mean to say bad things about your friend," she apologised and Lily waved her off. "She's not my friend, she's a classmate that I don't have a choice but to mingle with," Lily explained with a frown. "Oh, is that so? You must be careful with her, she always looks down on people with lower status than she is! Hmph! I would have had it worse if she had come with her friends today, bunches of unreasonable ladies!" She cussed."I will be careful. Anyway, I need your help with something," Lily said with a serious tone. "What is it you want? I will help you as best as I can!" Alana guaranteed with her hands placed on her chest proudly."I want you to work with me in my new company as a seamstress," Lily offered expectantly. He

"Answer me! What does this mean?" He demanded angrily as he shoved the newspaper containing the news about Hellen's biological father into Mrs Hudson's face."What are you talking about?

She will be leaving for school in a few hours and the journey to get everything back will officially begin. She needs to finish up everything she had started at home before leaving.As her fingers danced across the keyboard, codes appeared and disappeared on the screen in a blur.

Why don't you drop your contact information, I will get back to you once it has been tested.

    "I think now is the perfect time to get the computer," Lily announced over the phone. "Given the news about his wife's scandal, Henry and William will be too busy to guard the company like a guard dog." "You want me to send people in there pretending to be electricians to retrieve the computer?" Bryan asked, and Lily hummed. "It will be a bit difficult for me to retrieve it at the moment." Lily replied. "Heard you've not been out of your apartment since the announcement. That's a week ago; that's unhealthy." Bryan sighed. "I'll come pick you up later today, and then we can discuss whatever your plans are." "There won't be a need for that," Lily gritted out as she worked away on her laptop. "I can't afford to be distracted right now.""Is this about Mark's engagement to Roseline?" Bryan asked, making Lily pause as her eyes narrowed at the screen of her laptop. "This has nothing to do with Mark or his engagement." She breathed out, massaging her forehead as she felt her eyes stingi

    Lily walked into the living room with an extra sway in her hips as she remembered the event from the previous night. A small smile played on her lips, feeling giddy and excited about the news from the previous night's banquet. She picked up the remote and turned on the TV while waiting for the news with a warm cup of tea in hand. However, instead of the scandal she was expecting, she was met with Mark and Roseline's red carpet photos. Frowning, she turned up the volume just in time for the reporter to announce:"Next on the line of news is Mark Watson, the newly appointed CEO of the Watson Group. The genius businessman has finally announced his engagement with Roseline Anderson, the popular A-list actress."Lily’s smile froze, the warmth from her tea doing little to quell the chill that spread through her chest. Her hand tightened around the cup as she stared at the screen, unable to believe what she was hearing.“Engaged?” She whispered, her voice shaky. “That’s not possible.”The

    {Now we wait.} "Can you hack into the security cameras around here?" Lily asked as she returned to the main banquet, still holding the glass of wine in hand. As she walked in, she noticed Henry looking around the hall with a furrowed brow. His shoulders tense and his fingers tightly wrapped around the wine glass. She scowled, her eyes narrowing as she lifted the new wine glass to her lips just in time for Henry to look her way. He visibly breathed out a sigh of relief while his eyes held expectations at seeing her take the drink. {You should know that's a piece of cake. You want me to monitor Kate's movement?} "Yes, get the recordings and send them to the media. I want it to be the first news tomorrow morning."{Consider it done, my lady.}"How long will it take you to hack it?" Lily asked as she began walking towards the toilet area, where she could easily escape the crowd and get out of the banquet.{By the time you make it out, I'll be done.}"I need to pretend I'm affected by

    "We got an invite from Hamilton to attend their end of the year banquet," Mr. Wallace reported as he gave the invite to Lily. Lily accepted the invitation, her eyes scanning the elegant gold-embossed card. The Hamilton End-of-Year Banquet—a perfect stage for her next move. She set the card down on her desk and looked up at Mr. Wallace, her expression neutral but calculating."Who else from the company received an invitation?" she asked."Just you, Miss Turner. It’s marked as a ‘personal guest’ invite," Wallace replied. "Of course it is. Henry wouldn’t miss the chance to match me with his son." Lily snickered as she read the details of the invite. Wallace hesitated, his expression full of worry. "Do you plan on attending? It’s bound to be a huge event, and given the recent public opinion about them, it may affect the image of our company if you are seen mingling with them." Lily chuckled softly at Wallace's concern, leaning back in her chair. "The Hamiltons love theatrics. If Henry

    "Can you arrange a meeting with Annabelle Wilson?" As she sent the message, Bryan replied almost immediately. Lily glanced at Bryan's text and smirked. "De Ox tonight, between 8 PM and 9 PM. Perfect."She quickly tapped out a reply: Thanks. It's such perfect timing.Bryan: Need help?Lily: I'll be fine on my own. With her plan in motion, Lily pulled up the files containing Henry's promiscuity, one she had meticulously prepared for Henry’s misdeeds. Photos, text messages, and financial transactions—everything she needed to plant the seed of doubt in Annabelle’s mind was compiled neatly in a folder.At exactly 8:15, Lily walked into the dimly lit lounge, her heels clicking softly against the marble floor. She gave off an air of confidence, dressed in a sleek black dress that hinted at authority and poise. Her eyes scanned the room until they landed on Annabelle Wilson—a striking woman in her early forties, elegantly dressed in a champagne-coloured gown.Annabelle looked up as Lily a

    "All the traces of the investigation and the clue we've gotten so far lead towards the Andersons," Dexter announced, his voice muffled over the shuffling of documents on the phone. "But we haven't gotten any conclusive evidence that will have them legally checked yet which is why I am saying we are in a dead end." "There should be something you are missing," Mark replied as he shrugged off his jacket, his eyes narrowing on the opened file on his laptop. Despite staring at it, none of the words registered in his mind. After his altercation with his mother, the one that landed her in the hospital, he had been focusing his attention on the investigation. And as if a higher power was involved and supporting them, they were able to have several breakthroughs. However, despite the evidence they've gathered, none of it was solid enough for them to point fingers. Dexter let out a frustrated sigh. "Look, Mark, I’ve tried hacking into their financials, their private communications, even th

    "I'll advise you to let go of your stubbornness and pay the money for the costume," David breathed out, his voice strained as he messaged his temple, trying to ease out the build up tension from the past few days. It's been three days of constant back and forth with Lily's Fashion team and his PR team about the issue of the costume, and despite knowing Roseline had been the one at fault, he had tried to play the game in the way that would benefit them. Who would have known that the person behind Lily was someone strong enough to throw his crap back in his face. His eye twitched in annoyance as he noticed there is another topic about the issue trending on almost all special media. To make matters worse, the other side didn't even hire internet trolls to boost the popularity of the whole fiasco. Instead, the situation had attracted enough audience purely based on Roseline's and Lily's reputation. One is the award winning actress from a wealthy family and the other is the winner of

    "Aren't you going to step forward to help your girlfriend?" Celina asked with a raised brow as she typed away on her phone while sitting across from Mark in their grandfather's living room. Mark pursed his lips, looked away from the stock chart he was studying, and raised a brow. "What's going on with Lily?" He asked innocently, making Celina scoff in annoyance."I forgot you've been single all your life. Aren't you supposed to be keeping tabs on your girlfriend to make sure the public wouldn't bully her?" She asked."No one can bully her though," Mark replied. "They are the ones who should be careful not to get bullied by her. Anyways, what's going on with her?" "Why not check the internet yourself? After all, her name is actively trending right now." Mark frowned, closing his laptop with a soft thud. He pulled out his phone and quickly typed Lily’s name into the search bar. His brows furrowed as he skimmed through the headlines and trending hashtags."Roseline Anderson drama," he

    Roseline’s confidence in her ability to control the situation lasted all for an hour. As she scrolled through social media, sipping her overpriced latte on the Luna’s Halo set, the tide of public opinion had begun to shift in Lily's favor. Comments criticising her actions were now outpacing the defensive ones from her loyal fans."How can you ignore a small business like this? Lily’s Fashion deserves better!""Roseline, this is disappointing. Pay your dues.""I’ve supported you for years, but this is unacceptable behavior. Do better."Her latte nearly slipped from her grasp when she saw that #JusticeForLily was now trending."Daniel!" she barked, startling her assistant Samantha.Her manager, Daniel, who had been discussing with the set director, walked in shortly after, his brows furrowed in annoyance.
