The Rebirth of a Scorned Heiress Chapter 65: The Image Of The Group
"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

As the banquet continued, Lily was left to mingle with others all by herself while Mark and Chairman Watson entertained the guests.Occasionally, Mark would stop by to make sure she was alright while using the opportunity to dispel any rumours about him not liking his date.Even while he was across the room, his eyes somehow always found their way to her, making all the gossipy young ladies around swoon with excitement.Lily, on the other hand, made sure to enjoy the banquet while making connections with the wealthy housewives in attendance. She promoted her fashion business shamelessly and even got business proposals from two of the attendees.The woman standing by the corner seethed, her anger barely contained, as she watched Lily charm everyone she spoke to. Unable to tolerate it any longer, she finally decided to approach Lily.Mustering a fake smile, she gracefully made her way through the crowd, her eyes never leaving Lily. Upon reaching her, Rose feigned surprise and delight.

"Ugh, I'm so tired!" Lily groaned as she flopped on the couch in Bryan's office the next day. She covered her face with her palm, trying to spit out the sun that was causing her headache."Well, that much is expected since you spent the whole night in an upper-class banquet; how was it?" Bryan replied without taking his eyes off the files he had been working on before she walked in."It was okay, not as lit as the one I used to host back then, but fair enough." She replied with a shrug. "I made some amazing connections and I met some annoying people, but overall the purpose of going as Mark's date was met, with a little more profit, might I add," she added with a small chuckle as Rose's annoyed face flashed through her mind."I take it you met a new opponent?" Bryan asked knowingly, and Lily chuckled."Do you take me for a troublesome person?" She asked with a raised brow, and Bryan scoffed."You and your mom have too much similarity for me not to know what that dreamy look on your fa

"Good morning, Miss Lily," Mr. Wallace greeted as Lily walked into his office carrying two cups of steaming hot coffee."You look exhausted," she chuckled, and she set a cup before him. With a nod, he picked up the coffee cup and carefully took a sip. "How is it going?" She asked."I called you here because I've been able to rope Drake Gibson to our side. He's agreed to work with us on a contract term of two years," Mr Wallace explained as he passed Drake's file to Lily."That sounds suspicious," Lily muttered. "I wasn't expecting him to agree that readily. What did you offer?"Hearing her words, Mr. Wallace scrunched up his nose before letting out a small laugh. "I didn't offer anything out of the ordinary. It was the salary we both agreed on previously and yes, he rejected it at first," he explained."So what changed?" Lily asked with raised brows."I showed him half of the game blueprints you made, and he was hooked and even offered to be on the project with a slash in his payment,

As Lily's car came to a stop in front of her studio, another car parked right behind her and waited until she came down before turning off the light.Frederick stepped out of his car and looked around before approaching her with an obvious forced smile. "What a coincidence, I wasn't expecting to run into you here again, Miss Lily. How have you been?" he greeted, his voice sounding calm yet arrogant."I wouldn't call it a coincidence, Mr. Frederick," Lily replied with a smile of her own. "You've been following me since I left Starlite Cooperation after all.""Makes me wonder if there is something you want from me," she added with a little edge to her tone, silently sending him a warning."You don't have to be on edge around me; I was just curious about the woman who caught my cousin's attention," he replied. "You look beautiful but nothing special, so how did you get his attention?" He asked with a smirk making Lily duke in annoyance."Do you perhaps have a collaboration with Starlite

After her dinner with Celina, Lily went back to a newly rented apartment close to the studio. With the studio enlargement, she cleared out the living area of the studio and made it into a large showroom for their products. She had no intention to continue living in the school building, so she decided to rent a small apartment close to the studio and the academy to ease her mobility while also giving her some privacy. Upon arrival, she showered before getting to work on the blueprints given to her by Bryan. Lily had been studying the blueprint since she had received it from him. And the more she studied it, the more she realised she only knew a little about her mother and her work. All the technology used in creating the vault was so advanced that it dwarfed all her experiences for both lifetimes. She could understand why the system had insisted she learn something new if she wanted to tackle the vault. And although she had a lot on her hands, there was indeed a need to advance he

"Is that Mark's private car?" Lily asked with a frown as she watched the video gotten from the camera close to the factory address sent to her.{The plate number index matches that of Mark's private car. However, this video was made about three weeks ago.}Frowning, Lily replayed the video again. It was a car driving on a highway in the middle of the night. Seeing the date, she recalled she had a date with Mark that night and after he had hurried off. All through their time together, it was even more restless than usual. "Is this all you found?" {There is a similar video of him returning back to the city. But he hasn't gone back to the factory after that.}She jumped off her chair, got changed into a comfortable sweatshirt and pants, and a black sneaker. She picked a small hiking backpack from the closet and her wallet as she exited her apartment.{You are going to the factory?}"Yes," Lily replied calmly. "I at least need to figure out why they sent the note even if I don't know w

"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

"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

"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.

"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
