The Rebirth of a Scorned Heiress Chapter 90: Keep Playing Lovers
Lily froze up as she took in Mark's stunned expression. Her hands became clammy as her heart rate sped up. "I... Uhm... I was only talking to myself. I just remembered a scene from the novel I read online," she stuttered, hoping he never heard the parts where she had just outed herself. It took Mark several minutes to recover from his surprise, and by the time he did, she was already packing to leave.He grabbed her by the arm and raised a brow. "Leaving after you dropped such a bomb?" He asked, not knowing whether to be amused or angry."What bomb?" Lily asked, deciding to play ignorant. "It was a scene from the novel I was reading to pass the time," she repeated, and Mark rolled his eyes.As Celina returned to their table, she was met with a scene that was interpreted as two lovers arguing. “Oh? Did I come at the wrong time?” She asked with a raised brow as her eyes strayed towards Mark’s hand holding Lily's arm.“It's nothing, I was just leaving,” Lily replied with a flushed fac

"This is the list of people I would like to keep among the existing staff members," Lily voiced as she placed a big brown envelope in front of Mr. Wallace. "And these are the lists of people I want you to recruit for the new phase we are starting." She added before taking her seat opposite him."Apart from those people on the list, every other person in the company should be let off. I've done background checks on all of them and decided that keeping them will not be beneficial to the new developments," she explained."They are all just as corrupt as their former employer. I can't afford to keep them," she breathed out.Mr Wallace looked through the files with furrowed brows before nodding approvingly. "I didn't hear from you for a week after you gave the money for the refurbishment, and I thought you were leaving all the work for me," he remarked. "Who would have thought you'd be this thorough?" he chuckled.Lily shrugged as she took a sip of her water. "It's a start-up company, t

William stared at the computer screen, with his hands clenched to stop them from trembling. Ever since the first message he received from the hacking incident, he has been getting messages similar to that every week. And each time, the message gets even more detailed than the last. He let out a frustrated groan, unable to take his eyes off the picture on the screen. That picture sent him right back to that day.The supposed family dinner that triggered the beginning of his misery.It was a picture of Victoria's dying moment. The blood stains and the poison. All are vividly captured and turned into a painting on the canvas.At this point, it was no longer a guess about whether or not someone else knew about the incident. It is a confirmed fact that someone out there knows something.How much did they know was still up for debate? 'Was it necessary?' That was the note attached to the picture. And the question he had been asking himself as of late.Was it necessary? Was it worth it?

"Have you thought about it?" Bryan asked calmly, his eyes settling on Lily without any emotion.Lily let out a sigh, picked up the glass of wine, and took a sip. "I have thought about it. I mean, there is nothing much to think about anyway; hacking the vault is easy peasy. But I'm curious. Why do you want to break the Roux family vault?" She asked curiously."If I remember correctly, it is the most guarded part of the family. There's no way you'll be breaking in without causing a ruckus, which will lead to casualties. You've always been a careful one, so I'm curious as to why you'd risk your safety to break in there," she explained, and Bryan let out a groan."There's something in the vault that I need to get, and it's related to your mother. It was after she was sent away from the family that the vault became extra guarded, so I'm guessing there is something that belongs to her in there," he explained."Why would they keep her things in the vault after sending her out?" Lily asked w

Mark felt the weight of Frederick's gaze as he sat down beside him. The air around them grew heavy with tension, the clinking of silverware and glasses echoing through the silent dining room as the servants arranged the table for the family dinner. Frederick leaned closer, a triumphant smirk playing on his lips."I heard you got a partnership with a new company," Frederick taunted, his voice laced with contempt. "Aren't you insulting the Alpha Tech image too much? Of all the companies you could have chosen from, a new company.Michael, Mark's father, frowned, his eyes flicking between his son and Frederick. "It's a deal that would bring profit to the company. How is that insulting the image of the company?" He countered, making Frederick scoff as he turned away from Mark."Uncle might not be aware, but the company he's partnering with isn't exactly a startup. It's a company with a negative reputation among consumers. It's obvious they're just using him to sway public opinion." He poin

"They are getting impatient," Chairman Watson breathed out as the father-son duo walked out of the dining area."They'll start targeting you for real this time; do you have a way to deal with them?" He asked as he poured himself a freshly brewed tea. Mark smiled at his grandfather with a raised brow. "If people see you worrying about me, they'll think you are picking sides," he joked, and the old man glared at him playfully."What's there not to pick sides about? If I leave my hard work to those two, I'm afraid I won't be able to rest well in my grave." He replied with a scolding tone."They have been unable to do anything right! Instead, they are always scheming against others!" He continued, his brows creasing deeper the longer he spoke. "So do you have a way to deal with them?" He repeated and Mark nodded with a sigh."I do. However, it may affect the image of the group, so I'm still considering whether or not to use the means or the other one I planned," Mark replied calmly. "W

Alana heaved a breath of relief as she dropped the boxes of materials she had been carrying in the corner of the office. She flopped onto the soft couch and let out a groan."Tired?" Lily, who was standing by the mirror, checking out the dress she had on, asked with a raised brow. "Very," Alana replied. "I was able to get most of the items at our store, but the one for the mermaid costume was sold out, so I had to go somewhere else to get it," she explained, and Lily hummed."I thought Gary went with you?" "He got a call from one of his younger siblings halfway through. Something about the kid getting into a fight at school." Alana provided. She sat up and finally gave Lily a look.Raising her brow in question, she proved, "Going to an event?" "Yeah, a birthday party," Lily replied as she twirled to see the places that needed adjustments. "Oh, that sounds fun," Alana said, a small smile playing on her lips. "You look stunning, by the way. The dress suits you perfectly."Lily beam

"I've been coming here a lot lately, don't you think?" Lily mumbled under her breath.{You are a young business owner; where else would you be if not in your company?}"At home?" She replied with a smug smile. "Since I already employed people to do the work and you are here to make sure they don't mess it up." {No, I'm here to ensure you get your revenge.}"Same thing," Lily replied. "Without this empire, my revenge would be a lost dream. So see, we are on the same page." Lily sat in her sleek office, scanning the details of her schedule on the tablet Mr. Wallace had left behind. Her gaze lingered on Amelia Grant’s profile as she waited. The young actress’s clean record and rising fame made her an ideal candidate, but Lily wanted to meet her in person to ensure the numbers matched her personality."I love her work ethic; everyone who has worked with her in the past has praised her," she muttered approvingly.{Are you sure it's not because she's hated by your love rival?}"Roseline i

Lily grabbed her phone, scrolling through her contacts until she reached Mark's name. She tapped it and brought the phone to her ear, waiting as the line rang."Hey, love," Mark’s smooth, warm voice came through, a welcome contrast to the tension that had been building all day. "Calling to check up on me?""Something like that," Lily replied, her tone light but hurried. "I just got a strange message from Alpha Tech. They’re claiming they weren’t informed about the reason they weren't included in the new product distribution." Mark sighed, a weary edge to his voice. "I received the email. Sent by your manager, I informed my team about it since we are preparing for the next item launch. Could you send me a copy of the email you received?""Of course," Lily replied, already skimming through the company's inbox. "Give me a moment, and I’ll forward it to you. It struck me as odd, so I figured it was better to address it directly with you.""Smart move," Mark said, his voice steady. "Frede

"Would you like to have lunch with us?" Henry asked, his lips curled up in an inviting smile as his eyes remained fixed on Lily's. "I would love to get to know you better, not the things written on the internet. Those are usually false or exaggerated. What do you say?" Lily hesitated, her lips parting as if to decline politely. "Oh, I wouldn’t want to intrude—""Nonsense!" Henry interrupted, his tone cheerful but firm. "William and I would be delighted to have your company. Right, son?"William nodded with a charming smile. "Absolutely. It’s rare to meet with you in person, Miss Lily. Please, join us."Lily’s gaze flickered between the two; without needing to be told, she could tell they were both up to something evil. But she masked her suspicion with a soft smile. "Well, if you insist... I suppose a quick lunch wouldn’t hurt."Henry clapped his hands together. "Splendid! You won’t regret it."They made their way to an upscale restaurant nearby, the atmosphere exuding quiet luxury.

"The new owner of Ryder?" Henry echoed in surprise. "When did Ryder change ownership?" "Almost a month now," Henry replied. "It's not public news yet, and in that one month, Ryder has swallowed three companies on the same level as itself." "Their expansion rate is alarming; it's like a virus spreading. From the investigation I did, they are moving to the next target soon. And the most annoying thing? Nothing about the new boss could be found." "It's like the authority didn't change. I'm honestly not sure they are the ones targeting my company since I have another suspect." Victor explained."Another suspect?"Victor paused, deliberating whether or not he should give the information since he knew Henry might disagree. However, after a moment of deliberation, he decided to say it, wanting to see if Henry was also in the know. "It's the Greys. I found traces of them during my investigation. Nothing too glaring, but they are also involved."Henry leaned back in his chair, his expressi

"Care to explain what is going on with the production and overall business lately?" Victor Hayes sat at the head of the long conference table in Tristan Freight’s corporate office. The room, usually buzzing with activity, was now thick with tension.His sharp green eyes surveyed his senior staff, each looking increasingly uneasy under his gaze. The sunlight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows cast harsh shadows across the polished mahogany table, adding to the oppressive atmosphere.“Who’s behind this?” Victor’s voice was calm, but his words carried threat and anger.The silence that followed was deafening. No one dared speak as everyone shared subtle glances. Victor’s patience thinned, and his fist slammed onto the table with a loud thud, making several people jump.“Do I need to repeat myself?” he barked. “In the past two weeks, three of our biggest clients have cancelled contracts, shipments have been delayed due to ‘mysterious’ technical issues, and now our suppliers

"Did you think about what I asked of you?" Frederick asked calmly, his hand buried into his pocket as he relaxed against his car. Lily narrowed her eyes, feeling annoyed at his appearance, but she managed a small smile. "What a coincidence; I didn't know you visited places like this, too." Frederick’s lips curled into a confident smirk as he straightened, his suit perfectly tailored and exuding his usual arrogance. “Don’t change the subject, Lily. I asked you a question.”Lily tilted her head, feigning a thoughtful expression. “Oh, you mean that ridiculous proposition about betraying Mark? I’ve been thinking about it.”“And?” Frederick asked, his eyes filled with hope.“And I realised something,” she said, stepping closer, her tone icy sweet as she emphasised the end. “You’re more desperate than I thought. But desperation isn’t a good look on you, Frederick. It’s... pitiful.”The hope in his eyes flickered, replaced by irritation. “I’m offering you an opportunity, Lily. Do you have

"You are looking relaxed and happy. Any good news?" Lily asked with raised brows as Celina walked into her living room. "Of course I am," Celina chuckled. " I'm a lot more free now that the family is busy with preparing for the official appointment of the heir.""It's happening soon?" Lily asked and Celina hummed."It has dragged for too long," she replied. "Everyone knew since Mark became the President of Alpha Tech that he would be taking over as the CEO. The long period of constant battle was for the others to fight for the next best title." Lily leaned back on her plush sofa, a small smirk playing on her lips. "Let me guess—COO or CFO?"Celina nodded, setting down the steaming cup of tea Lily had handed her. "Exactly. The board insisted on announcing all the appointments at once to avoid unnecessary drama, but you know how it goes. Behind closed doors, it's a mess. Alliances, betrayals, bribes—Watson has turned it into a spectacle.""Sounds exhausting," Lily commented, though he

"What did you say?" Williams gritted out as he glared at his assistant. "The delivery from Tristan has been cancelled; they are willing to pay the cancellation fees." The assistant replied with his head bowed, his hand trembling lightly as he prepared for the impact of whatever was coming towards him. Instead, William frowned, his finger holding his chin in a thoughtful expression. "That doesn't make sense; there is no way they could just cancel and pay that huge amount as a contract-breaking fee. It makes no sense whatsoever." William's frown deepened, and his hand slowly dropped from his chin. His piercing gaze locked onto his assistant, who flinched under the scrutiny."Who’s their new client?" William demanded, his voice low and icy.The assistant swallowed hard, sweat glistening on his forehead. "We haven't confirmed, but rumours say it's... Ryder Technologies. They're offering twice the price you negotiated."The room fell silent, the weight of the revelation suffocating. Wil

Arthur walked into his office the next morning, bleary-eyed and nursing a headache from the previous night's whiskey. The fluorescent lights seemed harsher than usual, and every sound pulled on his nerves.His assistant, Clara, looked up from her desk. “Good morning, sir. Your 10 a.m. call with Mr. Hayes has been confirmed. Also, there’s an urgent package on your desk.”Arthur froze. “Package? From who?”Clara shook her head. “It was delivered anonymously this morning. Security scanned it—nothing dangerous.”Arthur muttered under his breath and walked into his office, shutting the door behind him. On his desk was a sleek black box with no markings. He opened it cautiously. Inside was a single photograph.It was a picture of him sitting in the bar last night, phone pressed to his ear. Beneath it was a note:“Careful, Arthur. You’re being watched.”Arthur cursed, crumpling the photo in his fist. This wasn’t Lily—this was someone else.Family competitors?Or someone working for 'him'? Ei
