The Rebirth of a Scorned Heiress Chapter 41: Keep Me Out Of It
"You still have not gotten in contact with the expert who developed the Waves software?" Chairman Watson, Mark's grandfather asked with a dissatisfied tone as he poured himself a cup of freshly brewed tea."They told me they had some other commitments and it takes them a while to settle it," Mark replied calmly, unbothered by the old man's temper."And you let them off just like that? What if they are going to work for another company? What should we do by then? For those genius experts, their newest works are always better than the last one and you know what that means when our rivals get them to work for them?" The old man argued, his face contoured in annoyance as he glared at his grandson.Despite Mark being his favourite amongst his children and grandchildren, Chairman Watson forgets the favouritism when the group business is involved. Mark smiled and picked up a cup of tea. "You have nothing to worry about, I already have a project planned with them and it is scheduled to begin

"Pardon?" Light asked in surprise as he looked Lily over, wanting to see if they'd ever met."You don't know me?" Lily asked with a creased brow and Light frowned in dissatisfaction, thinking she was a fan who was trying to get close to him by acting familiar.Despite his dissatisfaction, he smiled politely towards her. "I don't think I have ever met you ma'am," he replied and Lily scoffed before bringing her phone out to show him a picture she had snapped with Alana and Gary at the studio."Are you trying to hide your identity from me or something? You said you don't know anything about modelling while you are an artist!" She voiced, feeling somewhat annoyed.Light pursed his lips as he looked over the picture, his heart racing while looking at the other him in the picture."I think there is a misunderstanding here," Celina cut in. "And why don't we talk about this when the introduction is over?" She suggested and Lily turned to leave.Celina looked at Light and noticed the unreadab

The line went silent after she narrated her experience to Gary. She heard a shuffling on the other side, followed by the sobbing voice of a young child. She could hear Gary walk away from the phone to calm the sobbing child before coming back to the call."I'm sorry for the distraction, I had to attend to something," he apologised calmly."It's fine, are you babysitting? Do you need me to call back later?" Lily asked curiously."There won't be a need for that. They are my younger siblings and I'm in charge of them," he replied."Oh. So what do you say, would you like to meet him?" She asked, going back to the main topic."I don't want to have anything to do with him or his family," he replied. "You can tell him that there is no need to look for me, I know him and I don't want to have anything to do with him, he doesn't have to look for me or anything like that," he explained."Okay. I will let him know!" Lily replied casually, despite her nagging curiosity, she knew it wasn't in her p

As Lily entered the studio, her eyes were immediately drawn to the rows of cameras lining the room, trained on every corner and angle to capture the entire process of the segment.Sitting at the high table of the inner room were four well-known, world-class, designers who would be serving as judges for the segment.She, like the rest of the representative designers, was led to the corner of the room, where they would wait until it was their turn to present their designs.Lily sat quietly, silently gauging her opponent by listening to the judge's comments. The representatives were called up one after the other, and they were all asked the same set of questions before being sent back to their seats to await their results.Soon it was Lily's turn to step up. As she stood in front of the judges, she took a deep breath to calm her nerves and smiled politely. "Good morning," she greeted."Oh, hello, what is your name, and what group are you representing?" Beatrice, a female judge, asked."

"Hi, I am Bethel," the designer from Team Six introduced as he walked up to Lily. "Hello, I'm Lily. It's nice to meet you Bethel," she greeted politely."Nice to meet you too! I couldn't help coming to say hi. You look familiar and then, you are a good designer who has gotten a judge's recognition on the first day," he voiced with a subtle accusation behind his tone.Lily frowned as she noticed the hostility and ridicule in his voice and decided to play along, her smile got brighter. "You are probably referring to the online scandal a few days back? Yeah, that scandal shot my population out of the roof, I mean with that I don't need much publicity for the next few months," she replied with a chuckle, making Bethel who had come to make her feel self-conscious, awkward. "I'm surprised Lam allowed you to represent them with that scandal record. People who associated with Lam have always been with a clean record, that's why it has been able to maintain its fame and reputation for so ma

As Lily and her team walked away, Merissa's shoulders sagged, finally recognising Celina as their senior and the person who stood up for Lily at the restaurant the other day. She clenched her fist and glared at their retreating figures with a deep-seated hatred.Mrs. Smith, who had also taken time to digest the scene and the information she had just seen and heard, turned to her daughter with a confused expression."Since when has Lily been moving with those kinds of people? Why did you break off the friendship, knowing she had such a connection? Or is that not the young Miss of William's family?" She asked while silently accusing her daughter of being slow.'Why would you break off such a friendship that could connect the family to higher status,' was her initial question, but seeing how people were paying attention to them, she changed it.Merissa pursed her lips and folded her arms. "Who knows? I bet she slept her way in there; after all, what else could she have offered? She is no

"You can pick any fabric and items of your choice. However, your usage will be among the things judged during the sewing stage, so it is advised you pick the things you actually need and nothing else," the guide explained, leaving them surprised."Are we having a sewing competition too?" Avon asked curiously, and the guide chuckled."The process will be recorded, and the outcome will be judged before it goes onto the runway," the guide replied."Every team member will be judged by the expert in their field: the designer, the tailor, and the model. Any cloth that doesn't pass the sewing stage will not be allowed on the runway, it's to protect the reputation of the company you all are representing," the guide explained further, and Avon nodded in understanding."I better put on my best game; I wouldn't want to lose to our team's designer," he voiced with a chuckle, and he walked into the store to pick the fabrics."Why is this so intense, though? I thought it was just a fashion show for

"Alright! We have come to the end of this segment for today! How you all had fun while creating your masterpiece," the host chuckled as the second alarm went off, signalling the end of the sewing segment. The group of seamsters and seamstresses walked out of their workspace, some looking tired and others looking relaxed and calm.Those whose work was not completed felt a chill down their spine and those who were able to complete it in time let out a sigh of relief.Everyone stood by their workspace in anticipation of the judges' criticism and observations."Display your end products please," Ivan, the first judge announced and the representatives brought out their mannequins.Starting from the first team, the judges began to inspect their sewing works."I appreciated the effort put into this piece. Your technique shows your familiarity with your work. However, probably due to the pressure you were under, your stitches are quite sloppy and unattractive and the fabric you picked is not

The Rebirth of a Scorned Heiress Chapter 132: Seen As A Threat
"We are getting sued for plagiarism?" Mr. Wallace asked in bewilderment as he read the contents of the letter the lawyer had brought to him. "Why would we get sued for plagiarism? We didn't steal anything from your company.""Mr. Wallace, what you are getting sued for is right in there," the lawyer replied with a stoic expression. "Your latest software, 'Dream,' is a copy of our latest product, and it was released just a few days after our. The action is suspicious, and your company will need to prove you created your version." Sighing, Mr. Wallace frowned deeply, trying to make sense of the situation. There was no way they could have plagiarised their product when they were supposed to release the software a few weeks before their company released theirs.It was due to the delay from the team and Lily's absence that the release date was delayed. Besides, StarLite's product is way better than theirs; who should be the one suing for plagiarism?Massaging his temple, Mr. Wallace met t

"We meet again," Lily chuckled as Roseline walked into her office. "I was surprised when my assistant said you are here to see me."Roseline smiled wryly, her eyes locked onto Lily's. "I'm sure you were. Even I was surprised that I'm seeking you out first. Be happy you are the first to make me bend like this." She snarled and sat down opposite Lily without being invited too.Lily's expression remained amused, but a hint of curiosity crept into her voice. "What brings you here, Roseline? I thought we settled our... differences last time."Roseline's smile faltered, and for a moment, Lily glimpsed a flicker of rage. "I would not call that settling differences," she replied. "However, I'm here to offer you a proposal."Raising a brow, Lily relaxed into her chair, eyes full of curiosity. "Proposal?" She echoed, and Roseline hummed while fishing out a small white envelope with the Anderson logo on it. "That's a fifty million dollar check and some sure investment links. I'm offering it

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
The Rebirth of a Scorned Heiress Chapter 125: With A Little Sweetness
"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
