Chapter 110: Honour Thy Friend's Memory

Cordelia stumbles back, trying to take in what had happened while her palm springs to her face. "You dare!?" Marie's eyes are burning with rage as she snarls. Stunned, Cordelia blinks, the punch burning her cheek. "Madam—" “What gives you the right to remain here?” Marie's voice rises as she asks. She moves closer to Cordelia, her hand up for another blow. Cordelia, however, is prepared this time. Her quick reflexes from previous interactions allow her to grab Marie's wrist before the slap can strike. Her eyes meet Marie's in defiance, and she holds on with a powerful but controlled hold. Cordelia murmurs, "Enough," in a steady voice that belies the excitement pulsing through her body. "You dare!" Marie growls as she attempts to pry her fingers away. "How could I?" Cordelia replies, finally letting go of Marie's hand. “With due respect, Mrs. Craig, this is not a boxing ring; this is a workplace. Don't touch me again, but if you have something to say, say it.”

Chapter 111: A Fresh Type Of Pain

With each step echoing her rage, Marie sprints out of Modu Tech, her heels hitting the shiny floor like bullets. She can still picture Cordelia's arrogant comments, her rebellious stance, and her smug expression. Not only is Cordelia having an affair with her husband, but she is also refusing to quit her father's business despite being dismissed. Marie's anger boils to the surface. The wintry breeze nips at her cheeks as she leaves the building, but she doesn't bat an eye. Tom, her driver, is waiting and looks anxiously as he opens the door of the elegant black vehicle. Without saying anything, she slides into the rear seat. "Home, ma'am?" Tom takes a chance. "Just drive!" she yells in a cold tone. Tom remains silent. Modu Tech is left behind when the automobile draws away. With precise tapping of her manicured nails, Marie grabs her phone out of her high-end purse. She combs through her contacts until she comes to a name that has just one mysterious symbol: ★

Chapter 112: A Matter Of Goodwill

There is a lot of silence on the trip back to the hospital—not a deafening silence, but one that allows for reflection. With a gentle, lingering grin on her lips, Linda sits in the passenger seat, staring at the passing surroundings. Ever the perceptive one, Stanley gives her a quick look while driving. She appears strangely relaxed for someone who had been tense and unhappy all morning. Stanley finally breaks the stillness since he can't contain his curiosity any longer. "So, are you going to tell me what miraculous event happened back there?" he asks nonchalantly, his gaze still fixed on the road. “Or should I begin to speculate?” Startled out of her musings, Linda blinks. She presses her lips into a thin line as if to wipe the smile away. She feigns ignorance, "Stanley, I have no idea what you're talking about." Stanley looks at her once more and laughs as he says, " Oh please. Before we arrived at Fred's residence, you were essentially pouting. But you're sitting he

Chapter 113: A Step Towards The Future

Fred lays in bed silently, gazing up at the ceiling. Through his partially open window, the chilly night air filters in the subtle aroma of rain. In contrast to the ragged breaths of the morning, his chest rises and falls steadily. Thanks to Linda and Dr. Stanley's visit, he is emotionally and medically stable. He feels lighter, even better, although his mind keeps returning to Louisa and the quarrel that had caused him to almost lose his mind. The sharp edges of the anguish are blunted, but the recollection still hangs there. The shock had been lessened by Linda's surprise visit, which calmed his jangled nerves. However, he still cannot cannot ignore his nagging suspicion about Linda and Stanley's relationship. They seem to have gotten even more comfortable with each other, and it makes him feel uneasy, but considering his recent experience with Louisa, he decides to take the lesson and let things happen naturally. He eyes the phone on his nightstand as he rolls onto

Chapter 114: The Sting Of Scorpion

Louisa's breathing becomes labored. She experiences a range of feelings, including disbelief, thankfulness, rage, and relief. "Evelyn told you?" she asks in a frustrated tone. "And she didn't think to let me know that she would?" "I apologize. Kingsley hurriedly remarks, "I know this is sudden," and steps in her direction. "I had decided to let go of the past regardless of what the truth was and once I listened to Evelyn, I couldn't stay still or keep quiet any longer. How have you been able to live for the past five years? How did you cope?” He asks, his tone obvious with wonder. Her feelings are leaking out as she shakes her head. "Kingsley, I know you believed I was someone I'm not. And you wouldn't listen, so I couldn't even explain.” "I understand," he murmurs, regret weighing heavily in his voice. “And for that, I despise myself. Back then, I ought to have let you explain. But I was furious and upset. I was unable to look past my emotions.” Louisa maintains eye co

Chapter 115: Homecoming

The buzz of the New York night replaces the hiss of the airplane doors opening. She appears, powerful but hidden, an unmistakable presence. Oversized sunglasses protect her eyes even though there is no sunlight, and a silk scarf, beautifully wrapped beneath her chin, covers the sharp features of her face. Her heels click quietly on the shiny airport floor as she strolls with the kind of grace that attracts attention effortlessly. As she steps out into the clean, cool air, her luggage, a simple set of leather-bound bags, slides after her. She halts on the curb for a time, breathing deeply and tilting her face skyward. She acknowledges privately that she is home, and the tiniest hint of a smile pulls at her lips. Or maybe not quite at home. Not quite yet. She glances at the line of yellow cabs idling nearby, the city lights dancing in her sunglasses. She flags one down with a single elegant wave. With its tires screeching on the wet pavement, the cab arrives. She

Chapter 116: The Dawn Of Hope

With deliberate resolve, Louisa walks confidently into the office building, her shoes sounding on the shiny floors. Her other hand was clasped at her side while she gripped her bag firmly in the other. As she walks to Evelyn's office, Louisa hardly notices the hesitant smile the receptionist gives her. Evelyn's neatly arranged desk is illuminated by the early morning light streaming in through the wide glass windows. After setting her purse aside, Louisa inhales deeply and sits down in Evelyn's chair. She seems to be intentionally and symbolically seizing this place. She is waiting for round two after sitting here yesterday to unsettle Evelyn. Slowly, time tickles by. Under her calm appearance, Louisa's emotions are simmering, and she practices her thoughts to make sure she won't falter. The calm is finally broken by the sound of approaching footsteps. Evelyn opens the door but remains in the doorway when she observes Louisa seated at her desk again, her face chan

Chapter 117: Darkness Along The Way

As Kingsley strides into the office, his usual sharp suit and brightness appear to light up the entire floor, and the lively buzz of activity at Wills Corporation fills the air. His smile is unwavering, his walk has a bounce, and he greets his staff with a warmth that makes them notice his good mood. A junior staff member greets, "Good morning, Mr Wills!" and is taken aback by the broad smile that is fixed on his face. "Good morning! Isn't today a wonderful day to be alive?” He responds by giving the young man a shoulder clap before moving on to his office. Hardy observes from a distance and walks up to him. As they walk side by side after exchanging greetings, Kingsley whistles a happy tune. Hardy arches an eyebrow. "All right, what's going on?" It feels like you're on another planet today, even though you've been exceptionally sunny since yesterday. What's the good news, please?” Glancing at him briefly, Kingsley laughs. "Oh, please, Hardy, a man cannot just enjoy his d

Chapter 118: "We're A Team Now”

Kingsley reaches Louisa's apartment as the sun is sinking, illuminating the sky with pink and orange tones. He has a bunch of gifts in his arms, including groceries, another set of toys for Liam, and even a bunch of colorful flowers for Louisa. His pulse pounds not because he is unsure, but rather because he is eager to see the smile that he knows would light up her face. Almost immediately as he knocks, the door flies open. Liam stands there smiling, his bright, questioning eyes and mess of curly hair. He yells, "Daddy!" and hurls himself at Kingsley. With a giggle, Kingsley easily catches him and twirls him around before putting him down. Behind Liam, Louisa emerges, and Kingsley's heart skips a beat at her gentle smile. Her hair is casually combed back, and she looks stunning in a simple outfit. She tries to sound informal when she remarks, "You're early," but her eyes show how excited she is. With the bouquet in hand, Kingsley says, "I couldn't wait to

Chapter 119: "Welcome To Your New Home"

After what seems like an age, the van screeches to a stop. Crumpled and shaking in the back, Cordelia attempts to raise her head but is unable to do so due to the excruciating pain that shoots through her entire body. The men haul her out like a rag doll after yanking the doors open. As they drag her toward a dark warehouse encircled by thick woods, her feet scuff the gravel. With a savage chuckle, one of the men pushes her through the door and remarks, "Welcome to your new home." The warehouse smells of grease and moisture inside. Long shadows are thrown on the concrete walls by the menacingly flickering light above, creating a chill and causing the concrete walls to throw extended shadows. She is flung upon a hard, chilly floor. Cordelia groans and grips her ribs as the pain flares up again. "Stay down, lady," the leader, who is taller than her, sneers. "This is not the place for you to act arrogant. I'm determined to deal with you like a mere pawn.” Cordelia str
