"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

    Mr Hudson's face turned purple in anger and frustration, he was still looking for ways to resolve the online conflict about his unruly second daughter when another set of news about the same daughter spread all through the news. "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? It's just a rumour, can't you see someone is targeting our daughter, Are you saying we aren't good enough for you? Would you rather have your dead wife and good daughter? Let me tell you I'm not going anywhere!" Mrs Hudson yelled, her heart racing anxiously.She had been so shocked about the issue and before she recovered from the shock and found ways to deal with the news, Mr Hudson had already come to her demanding an explanation. She decided to muddle around it and pretend she doesn't know anything, if not, she and her daughter would lose everything they've worked for ove

    'Upgrade complete''The firewall is ready for use' Lily smacked her lips together as a smile appeared on her face. 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. Soon, a castle interface materialised, the details rendered in intricate detail. It was as if she had painted a masterpiece on the screen, her fingers the brush and the keyboard her canvas. With a final flourish, she hit enter, and the program came to life. She sat back with satisfaction. She worked with purposeful efficiency, assigning different rooms to different functions within the castle. There were defence towers, control rooms, and storage rooms, all meticulously designed and rendered. Once she was satisfied with the preparations, she sent the program to Alpha for his team's testing s

    Sinful: I can handle the likes of them, Mr Alpha. How is it? Have you had time to check out the upgraded one I sent to you? Alpha: I haven't, I logged in to see your name all over the main page. Why don't you drop your contact information, I will get back to you once it has been tested. Lily paused and read the chat over and over again, deliberating whether or not to get involved with the man on the other side of the screen. Due to the knowledge from her past life, she has little idea of the minor competition between himself and his cousin, Fredrick. {I will advise that you keep in contact with him. He already made it clear he wants to keep working with you the last time. If you keep declining him, it might make working together in the future awkward.}{You can't always fly under the radar, and if you want to, you'll need someone to help you cover your tracks. You can't do it all by yourself. I know you're capable on your own but even the best of us need a little help sometimes. Be

  • The Rebirth of a Scorned Heiress    Chapter 19: Nothing But Fake People

    Lily pursed her lips as she walked into her newly assigned dorm to see three other people already occupying the best parts of the room. As she stepped in, the once noisy room became quiet and all eyes fixed on her, watching her every move as she walked in. Lily could tell that the three of them were not fond of her from the malicious looks in their eyes. "Oh, look who's here!" One of the girls spoke in a mocking, sneering tone, drawing the attention of the others in the room. "If it isn't Merissa's little lap dog. I'm surprised she even let you out of her sight! Why didn't you go live with her off campus?" She laughed cruelly, and the other girls joined in, their laughter like a pack of hyenas circling their prey.She ignored their words and walked to the last bed space in the room."Did you not hear Jasmine talking? How dare you ignore her!" The lady closest to her snatched the dusting towel and sneered into her face, daring her to say something back. "Paupers really do have nast

    Lily walked into the cafe with an expressionless face, unbothered by the many eyes and the gossipy voices that followed her around the campus. The news about her having a fallout with Merissa because Merissa took her spot in the competition had spread like wildfire and in an environment where being from a humble background was a crime of its own, she was pointed at and blamed for being petty. "Tch, what is so special about her? Just a little more talented than others and she feels like the world revolves around her." "If not for Merissa's parents would she even be here in the first place? Wouldn't the spot belong to Merissa? Such an ingrate!""I tell you! Paupers have an entitlement mentality! Let's see how she survives in the school now that she has fallen out with her main backer.""Did you forget, her boyfriend Zach?""What about Zach? Only a blind person like her would not see that he has been using her all along! She's pathetic I tell you!""What is this about it being because

    {Now that he is here we can do a direct comparison. Your little boyfriend looks and feels nothing compared to the young master Mark. Look at his elegance and noble appearance, compared to the sloppy appearance of a boy who hasn't seen the world. It's a minus 10 out of 10.}Lily's lips turned up in amusement as she heard the system compare the two males to one another. She had involuntarily done it the first time but seeing how the system is she noticed the ambiguity in her action and her face flushed in embarrassment. Zach who had been looking at her got angry thinking she was blushing because she admired the other man like the rest of the girls trying to get his attention. A sneer appeared on his face and he gave her a condescending look."Mr Watson will never go for someone like you, so don't get your hopes up for nothing. You are way out of his league, you won't even be worthy to clean his shoes," he ridiculed, his voice filled with malice and mockery. As the system heard his wor

    Lily looked up to see it was her roommate, Jasmine who had made the snarky remark."If you have a better solution why don't you bring it out instead of delaying someone who does?" She snapped with a glare startling Jasmine and her entourage."You!" Jasmine yelled but after getting a glare from the girl she kept quiet and turned to Mark. "Young Master Mark, it would be better if you find someone else to help you! This girl is too poor to have anything that can help, I bet whatever she is applying will only cause more damage," Jasmine explained, her voice gentle and pretentious. With an eye roll, Lily turned back to Mark to make sure he was still cool with her using the serum. Mark ignored Jasmine's words and gave Lily a piercing stare, "Use it," he ordered and Lily immediately got to work, her hands trembling from the fear of the unknown. What if this serum from an unknown origin adds to the problem? What will I do? Will I have to die again without getting my revenge? She thought

    The officers searched the room, their eyes scanning every nook and cranny, leaving no stone unturned. They moved quickly but methodically, their movements practised and were efficient. Nothing was overlooked, nothing left to chance.One of them wanted to prove Lily's innocence, having been from a humble background herself and the other just wanted to get the work over with so she could go back to watching the movie she had been seeing.Priscilla's side of the room was the last place to be searched and while everyone had different emotions showing all over their faces, Lily remained calm as she stood by the window with an expressionless face. "Found it," the first officer announced as he brought out the stolen items from Pricilla's wardrobe. Horrified gasps filled the air as all eyes turned to face the pale-looking Pricilla who instantly began to shake her head in denial."Who's side of the room is this?" the second officer asked and Lily pointed to Pricilla which earned her a glare

    Lily pursed her lips as she narrowed her eyes towards the document placed in front of her. She sighed, looking from the papers towards a solemn-looking Bryan on the other side of the table. "Say something," Bryan urged, feeling uncomfortable by her silence. "I'm not sure what exactly I'm supposed to say," Lily replied. "I've gone through all sorts of possibilities. Every possible scenario I could ever think of has played continuously in my mind while awaiting the result of the investigation. And now you are providing me with this?" She breathed out."I swear it would be more believable if you said one of Henry's people betrayed him. Hell, it would have been more believable if you said it was his wife that decided to make his life miserable by threatening him with that information." She continued, her brows furrowing deeper as she continued to glare at the papers laid in front of her. "Honestly, I would have believed anything but the fact that all those threat notes and pictures wer

    "I heard there is a new board member joining the company." Henry asked with a frown as he scanned through the company document Williams had brought. "Yes," Williams replied, preparing himself for the earful that he knew was coming. "How did it happen? Did I not tell you no more selling of shares? And definitely not to outsiders?!" Henry asked as his frown deepened in dissatisfaction. Williams pursed his lips, making no attempt to give excuses for his incompetence. How was he supposed to explain to his already angered father that he wasn't aware of the shares circulating underground until it was sold out?That would only expose him to more of his father's rage, and seeing the sore mood the man was already in, there is no way he would risk it.Henry's face reddened with anger, his voice rising. "Who is this person? What's their stake in our company?"Williams hesitated, choosing his words carefully. "The new board member's name is Lily Turner. She's a wealthy investor with… consider

    "What brings you here?" Frederick asked as Mark casually walked into his office. "What do you think?" Mark replied with a smirk. "I don't believe we are close enough for me to just stop by for a greeting, are we?" He added and took a seat opposite Frederick. Frederick glared at Mark, hating how the latter was talking to him so casually. Swallowing his anger, he relaxed into his seat and raised a brow. "I don't remember having an appointment with you. So it will save us both some time if you go straight to the point; we are both busy men after all." Mark hummed and brought out a flash drive from his inner pocket. "We did have an appointment, but I guess your subordinates are incompetent; they couldn't even inform you about such things. Anyways, I'm here to talk about the collaboration for the government project." He announced."As much as I would like to handle both the construction and security system installation, I do not have the time to do it now that I have another branch to

    "Marry me, and we can use your family's influence to pressure him out," he offered. "In the end, you'll get what you want while I also get mine." Roseline paused, her eyes narrowing the longer she heard Frederick talk. By the end of his speech, she burst out laughing uncontrollably, making Frederick's eye twitch in annoyance. "What's so funny?" He gritted out as she forced herself to sober up from her hysterical laughter."Oh, it's not funny," she replied coldly. "I'm just laughing at the absurdity of the proposal you just made. "I may not want to get married to those old fools, but I'm not desperate enough to settle for you, Frederick." She announced.Frederick balled his hands against the table, his eyes twitching uncontrollably while his lips curled into a sneer at the insult thrown his way. "You are saying I'm comparable to those men with one leg in the grave; how remarkable, Miss Anderson," he snarled, and Roseline shrugged."You are free to interpret my words anyhow you want,

    "What's wrong with you?" Frederick asked with a frown as Roseline stormed into his office with a flushed face, slamming the door behind her without a care.Roseline, not saying a thing in reply to his question, dropped her bag and walked towards his wine shelf to serve herself a drink. "I'm glad you are comfortable enough to waltz around here like you own the place," Frederick hissed, his tone full of sarcasm and annoyance."They spent last night together," Roseline gritted out after downing the whole glass of wine. Reaching to serve herself another glass, she decided against it and took the whole bottle with her as she sat on the couch opposite Frederick's working area."You are talking about Mark and Lily, right?" Frederick asked with raised brows as he relaxed into his chair, and Roseline nodded in reply before taking a big gulp of wine. She scowled as the pictures she had received resurfaced in her mind. "Mark hasn't slept outside his home, not even at his parent's since he move

    "Hey," Lily waved shyly as Mark's car came to a stop in front of her studio. Mark smiled and got down from the car, dressed in a casual black dress shirt and pants.He reached into the back seat of his car and brought out a bouquet and a box of sweets. Mark approached Lily with a bright smile, his eyes warm and inviting as he took in the sight of her."Hey there," he greeted her, his voice smooth and comforting. "You look lovely tonight."Lily blushed, her cheeks turning a soft shade of pink as she accepted the bouquet and the box of sweets. "Thank you," she replied, her voice tinged with a hint of nervousness as she took a sniff of the flower. "These are beautiful." She compliments."Not as beautiful as you," Mark replied, his tone sincere. "I thought we could start the evening with a little sweetness."Lily smiled, her eyes bright with excitement as she opened the box of sweets, the tantalising aroma wafting between them. "This is perfect," she murmured, selecting a delicate choco

    Lily let out a groan as she read the reminder from Dark Star about his last work. Somehow, she had pushed the work out of her mind almost immediately after she had gotten it.However, having been reminded of it, she read through their chat again to refresh her memories of the job description."Investigate a hacker… ok?" She muttered to herself as she continued to read. "I still don't understand why I'm the one who wants to do such a simple job but anything for the money... and the opportunity to screw them over, I guess?"Without wasting time, she logs into the Hamilton's company security system, navigating through the angles and corners, trying to find the traces of the hacker and what they had done or undone."It's pretty easy to break in though," she commented with a frown. "How long ago have they updated the security system around their database?"Lily's fingers danced across the keyboard as she delved deeper into Hamilton's security system. The ease with which she navigated the n

    "It's been a while since I've been here, and the atmosphere looks even more busy than the last time," Lily noted as she walked into Mr. Wallace's office.Her brow shot up in surprise as she took in the huge stack of files on his table and how overworked he appeared to be with his tired eyes and hug under-eye bags. "Please tell me you get a few days off in a week," she voiced worriedly and took her seat in front of him."Well, I'm supposed to, but I've not been able to do so these few weeks," Mr. Wallace replied. "On the brighter side, I've learnt to stay hydrated with water instead of other sugary drinks." He added, making Lily worry even more."Okay! Okay! You can pack up and leave now. You'll resume three days later," she encouraged hastily. "I will not have my employees overwork to this extent. You look like a homeless madman despite the expensive suit you are wearing!""I'm fine, I promise," Mr. Wallace sighed. "Let's discuss why I've called you here today, and then maybe I can t

    "What was that stupid stunt you pulled the other night?" Frederick demanded, his tone cold and filled with anger as he walked into the private booth to see Roseline already waiting for him.Roseline frowned as she adjusted her jacket while crossing her legs over the other. "I don't understand what you are talking about," she huffed, and Frederick glared at her impatiently."Why would you go confront Lily like that?! You didn't just trash her studio; you even had the boldness to meet up and try to frame her?!" Frederick exclaimed. "How could you do something like that?!"Roseline's eyes narrowed as she met Frederick's furious gaze. Her voice remained calm yet held an edge of defiance as she responded, "Are you on her side?" She asked."I'm on your side!" Frederick grunted out. "You went behind me to do all those things. You think she's just some nobody you can bully around?""She's just a start-up fashion designer; what's there to be upset about?" Roseline huffed in annoyance, hating
