CHAPTER 51

Clarence’s POV. The moment I stepped into the police station, my eyes landed on Julian. He was seated in front of an officer, and Kristina was right beside him, her arms wrapped around his waist, head nestled against his shoulder. I froze. I didn’t know why Julian had asked me to come, but looking at them, I suddenly felt like I didn’t belong there. He seemed fine. He wasn’t alone. Kristina was with him, holding onto him like she was afraid to let go. If I walked up to him now, it would only make things more complicated, and her suspicions would only grow deeper. Without a second thought, I turned on my heels and made my way back to my car to meet my driver. As I slid into the driver’s seat, guilt settled in my chest. I should have stayed. He had defended me at the mall, standing by me even when it meant taking the insults meant for me. But I couldn’t even walk into that station for him because I was afraid of what his fiancée would think. I hesitated for a moment before typ

CHAPTER 52

Clarence’s POV. Seeing Kristina leave because Julian didn't allow her to bully me, I had to walk away too. Proceeding to sit comfortably until then the ceremony will come to an end. After the ceremony ended, I moved through the crowd, exchanging polite smiles and handshakes. I was about to decide on heading home for the night when I spotted them, Damon and Gina. The air around me immediately seemed to tighten. My stomach became tense, but still, I kept my expression steady. “Clarence," Damon drawled, a smirk tugging at his lips. "Quite an achievement. Congratulations." I met his gaze, refusing to give him the reaction he wanted. Gina's eyes flickered with amusement as she swept her gaze over me. "Success looks good on you," she mused. "Unfortunately you don't know it barely lasts long for people like you. That little…incident earlier—did you enjoy it?" My jaw tightened. "Don't tell me that was your doing." She let out a light laugh, shaking her head. "Please, Clarence.

CHAPTER 53

Gina’s POV. I stepped out of my car the moment I arrived at the parking lot of the so-called company Clarence had established, my expression freezing in shock as I took in the sheer grandeur of the building before me. My lips parted slightly, unable to hide my surprise. This was nothing like what I had imagined. I never believed Clarence could own something this magnificent. When my mother and Damon spoke about her company, I assumed it was just some small business—barely surviving, something she was managing temporarily until she inevitably failed. But this… this was not what I expected. My fingers tightened around my purse as irritation surged through me. No, there was no way she built this on her own. Someone must have helped her. I took a deep breath, pushed my irritation aside, and stormed inside, my heels clicking loudly against the polished marble floors. I did it on purpose, making sure every step echoed through the large space, drawing attention to myself. If I was goin

CHAPTER 54

Clara’s POV. I glanced at the meeting schedule again, my eyes scanning the paper for the hundredth time as if the numbers would suddenly change and show me that I hadn’t been waiting as long as I had. But the truth was right there in front of me—I had been sitting here for two hours. Two whole hours. Clark Wilson had never made me wait this long before. Not once. That alone told me something was wrong. Either he was deliberately ignoring me, or his secretary hadn’t informed him that I was there. Whichever it was, I didn’t have time for this. I needed to see him today. This was urgent. Clarence was becoming a problem. A serious problem. Ever since she got back on her feet, she had been showing a resilience I didn’t expect. A resilience that was beginning to get under my skin. I couldn’t allow it. I needed Clark to do something about it. And if he wouldn’t come to me, then I would go to him. Standing abruptly, I grabbed my bag and stormed out of his office, my heels

CHAPTER 55

Clarence’s POV. I let out a deep sigh of relief, finally wrapping up the day's work. Reviewing products, checking designs, going through invoices—it was all exhausting. But it had to be done. I needed to make sure everything was on track. This company had already suffered one major scandal, and I wasn’t about to let it happen again. Ever since I started managing things, I had been extra careful. The company had made a lot of progress since the illegal loan controversy finally quieted down, but there was still so much to do. I couldn’t afford to slack off, not when Julian had invested so much to keep it afloat. It was my responsibility to ensure we didn’t lose anything. Picking up my phone, I called my secretary. “Come to my office before I leave.” I stacked the reviewed documents into a neat pile, making sure everything was in order. Then, I reached for my shoes in the corner, slipping them on before putting my flats back in their place. They were my lifesavers at work—I could

CHAPTER 56

Clarence’s POV.Receiving the court summons two days ago hadn’t scared me. I had always known that the matter between me and my family would end up in court. In fact, I was the one planning to take them to court first. What I hadn’t expected was that they would beat me to it, making the first move. It was almost amusing—breaking the so-called family tradition they had clung to for years. The tradition that made them kick me out.That night, instead of calling them to demand an explanation or accusing them of betraying our so-called traditions, I had done something they never would have expected. I poured myself a glass of wine, leaned back in my chair, and quietly celebrated. They had saved me the trouble. They had made my decision for me. This was exactly what I wanted. I had even gone as far as paying one of my aunts—Aunt Angel, who happened to be a close friend of my stepmother—to plant the idea in her head. It worked perfectly. They had no idea how prepared I was, no idea tha

CHAPTER 57

Clarence’s POV. When I woke up, the first thing I noticed was the blinding white ceiling above me. The smell of antiseptic filled my nose, and the distant sound of beeping monitors told me exactly where I was—a hospital. My body felt heavy, my limbs weak, but I was alive. I turned my head slightly, and my driver was seated beside me, looking deeply worried. The moment our eyes met, relief washed over George’s face, and he leaned forward quickly. "Ma'am, you're awake," he said with concern. I swallowed, my throat dry. "What... what happened?" My voice came out hoarse, and I tried to sit up, but a dull ache ran through my body. He sighed heavily before answering. "You called me and it seemed you were trapped. I tried calling you after you suddenly ended the call, but you didn’t pick up. Then the power suddenly went out. That’s when I knew something was wrong." His words sent chills down my spine. "I tried opening the elevator, but it wouldn’t work. That made me even

CHAPTER 58

Julian’s POV.Clarence’s message sat on my screen, a simple request that somehow unsettled me. I was just returning from treating a long-time patient I couldn't abandon after joining the company."Please, can we meet up? It's urgent.”I stared at the words, reading them over and over again, trying to figure out why she would reach out to me wanting to meet up at this time of the night. She had told her secretary to tell me she was getting off work after securing the deal with the company. A dozen scenarios ran through my mind, each one making less sense than the last—until I landed on the worst possibility. What if something had happened to her? It didn't make sense that she had asked me not to come to the factory because she was already gone just waiting thirty minutes. She had left, causing me to turn around and head back to work to finish my piled-up documents.That thought alone had me grabbing my coat and heading for the door without hesitation. The night was cold as I stepped

CHAPTER 59.

Clarence’s POV. I stared at my phone screen, sighing when I heard the automated message again. The number you have dialed has been turned off. Julian had shut off his phone. I swallowed, gripping my phone tightly. Was this how much he hated me? That even after I had gathered the courage to text him, and also call him at this time of the night—Something I never did—he couldn’t bother to check why. My body ached as I shifted on the couch. My right arm was hurting, and the pulsing pain spread from my wrist to my elbow. I glanced down at the wound on my arm, my sleeve already stained with blood. My legs weren’t spared either. When one of the men had swung that wooden plank at me after they barged in, I had instinctively used my arm as a shield. It had taken most of the hit, but my legs hadn’t been entirely spared. I clenched my jaw and forced myself to stand. Julian wasn’t coming. I had to handle this alone. The apartment was in a total mess. The overturned furniture shattered glass

CHAPTER 60

Julian’s POV. The moment Clarence stepped into my office, I knew something was wrong. It wasn’t just the bandages on her arm or the way she moved like every step hurt—it was the look in her eyes. The exhaustion, the hesitation, the way her fingers trembled slightly when she adjusted the sleeve of her dress. I stood up immediately, closing the distance between us in seconds. My gaze swept over her injuries, my stomach tightening at the sight of the bruises peeking through the bandages. “What happened, tell me this time?” My voice came out louder than I intended, I refused to give up even though I had asked her to cancel her meetings. She hesitated, and for a brief second, I thought she wouldn’t answer. But then she sighed and shifted her weight slightly. “I was attacked last night,” she said quietly. My hands clenched into fists. "Attacked?" My voice dropped lower. "By Who?" She shook her head. “I don’t know. They didn’t say their names. Just that this was a warning.”
