Chapter 61 The Arrest
Brandon fell to the ground. He didn’t have the strength to withstand the punch thrown in his face.The impact alone would have been enough—But in his current state, it was overwhelming.Because he had too much to drink, the punch didn’t inflict pain on him immediately; instead, he burst into laughter on the floor, the sound uneven and unstable. All his wine bottles and alcohol crashed down with him, smashing against the floor and shattering into pieces.“How dare you!!” Carter screamed, his voice raw with rage as he lunged forward again.He didn’t wait.He didn’t think.He jumped on Brandon and began punching him aggressively.Brandon’s face peeled under the repeated blows, blood spilling from his eyes, nose, and mouth, yet Carter didn’t stop.There was no restraint left in him—only anger that had finally found a target.Over ten years ago, when Brandon moved into his villa in the Kingston Estate, he had installed an AI system.It wasn’t just for comfort.It was for control.The adva
Chapter 62 Three Days Later
Betty sat beside Brandon’s bed. He was laying in bed, unconscious for three days. The steady beeping of the monitor was the only proof that he was still here, still fighting, even when he gave no sign of it.Betty held his hand. Aside from the fact that they were family, Brandon was the only one closer to her now. The warmth of his palm against hers felt faint, almost slipping away, and she tightened her grip as if she could anchor him back.Because of the scandal surrounding their family, everyone had left her. Her best friend. Even the love she thought she could get. One by one, they had disappeared, as though her life had become something contagious.“Please come back.” she whispered again for the thirteenth time under ten minutes. The words were starting to lose shape, dissolving into desperation rather than sound.Five hours ago, she remembered it. The doctor’s words like she was told only a second ago. They hadn’t softened with time; if anything, they had settled deeper, heavier
Chapter 63 Home
“How is his health now?” Liam sat at the dining table. He was about to eat dinner when he asked, though his attention was clearly elsewhere.Edward sighed, the weight of the situation evident in the way his shoulders dropped slightly.“Master, Alexander received news from the doctor that his condition is worse and that he risks ending up in a coma.”Liam paused for a moment. His hand hovered slightly above the table before settling back down. He knew it. Who doesn’t? When a patient enters a coma, it meant their condition was worse.If they get in a coma, they have 50:50 chances of survival. The thought lingered longer than he liked.He breathed again, slower this time. “What about the other one?”“You mean Carter, sir?”“Yes.”“He is now in jail, sir.”Edward hesitated briefly before continuing, as though measuring his words.“According to the police chief, he will be transferred to prison today and he risks spending ten years there.”“Okay.” Liam responded simply, but his tone carrie
Chapter 64 Context of The Letter
“Dear Liam, You shouldn’t have taken the blame for my granddaughter’s recklessness. My son Michael has taught them not to be of integrity for their actions and which has turned their eyes against humanity. I will get you out and write to the police who the real culprit is. Until then, please take good care of yourself.”Betty’s hand shook terribly as she read this. Each word pressed harder against her chest, forcing her to see a truth she had completely ignored. She had thought that Liam was a slave of their family, that everyone including Berry was satisfied with the fact that he took the blame for her. That it was expected of him. That it meant nothing. But now…Now it was clear; it had never been nothing.She picked out the next letter underneath this one in the drawer, her fingers unsteady but determined, as though she needed to see everything at once.“To Master Berry Kingston,” she read boldly as the letter head. And immediately, she figured it out. Liam had written Berry back f
Chapter 65 Attempt At Recognition
Betty heaved out a deep sigh as she stared at the mirror.It was another morning. The night before had been long, restless, and filled with thoughts that refused to settle.Her eyes were reddish. Sleep didn’t come. All that came to her were the thoughts about Liam and how she could rectify her wrong. The more she tried to push it away, the more it returned, louder and clearer, like a voice demanding to be heard.She sighed again, steadying herself as she began to apply her makeup on her face. Her hands moved slowly at first, then with more control as she focused on the familiar routine.No matter how messed up her eyes were, today was another day. A day to carry the family’s business on her head like a hat, whether she was ready or not.She entered into the car and drove to the company. The engine’s low hum filled the silence, giving her just enough distraction to keep her thoughts from spiraling again.Her heels clicked against the ground as she stepped out of her car. Her small purs
Chapter 66 Pent House
The Kingsley Estate was the most expensive estate in all of the Greenfield city and nation.Betty clenched her fist. Not out of anger, but because of the weight of the concern pressing down on her. It was bigger than pride, bigger than status.She knew it. She couldn’t go to the Kingsley Estate no matter what. The security there would never allow her to enter.Though she was not an average person herself, she understood the difference. There were levels to riches. A person of the Kingsley family was much more than her in every way, and access to them was not something she could demand.“Yes!” she blurted, her eyes lighting up as a new thought formed in her mind.Sebastian Kingsley was the one who built the Kingsley estate. For a person as rich as that, there was no way he wouldn’t have something called the penthouse. It was almost expected for someone of his level to own properties beyond the estate itself.In most cases, many rich people usually have the penthouse in other countries
Chapter 67 Allowed to See Him?
“The Master wouldn’t be seeing you ma’am. Please leave the premises at once.” The security sounded cold and nonchalant.Betty opened her eyes widely, the words landing harder than she expected.What was she expecting?Did she think miraculously the same person she betrayed would somehow forget all that she did and accept her? The thought stung, forcing her to confront the reality she had been avoiding.Her heart beat rapidly. If Liam was the successor of Sebastian as thoroughly as the letter suggested, and if truly the security man had gone to meet his Master and that Master was Liam, then the genesis of their business problem could be rectified under one snap of a finger by him. That possibility alone was enough to keep her standing there.Even if she was not going to do this for atoning for her wrong deed, she must do this for the sake of her family. The responsibility weighed heavier than her pride.In this case, desperation was no longer a choice. It was a must.“Then tell him I
Chapter 68 Brandon Awake
Betty sat on the snowy ground. Liam had totally disappeared into the distance. Her heart continued to ache.Five years ago, if she was ever told that something like this could happen, she would ignore it. She would confidently chuckle, look into the person who made such a ridiculous claim in the eyes and tell him it could never happen.But here they were, five years later, it had happened.Cold seeped through her clothes, yet she did not feel it as much as the pain tightening around her chest.She rose to her feet. Even though Liam had driven off, she believed it.She could bring him back if she caused more scene.That thought settled quickly in her mind, giving her a fragile sense of control.She walked towards the gate, wanting to approach the security. She furrowed her brow and wanted to do as she thought when her phone rang.The sharp sound cut through her thoughts, pulling her back from acting recklessly.“Hello,” she paused and picked.“Ms Kingston, your brother is awake.” Her h
Chapter 69 Tell Brandon
Betty opened her eyes widely. With what she discovered in Berry’s villa, she could have just concluded it was Liam. But could he really be the one?The thought refused to settle, clashing with everything she had just witnessed.She was in Cecesh, at the front of his penthouse. He was in, ignoring her. He didn’t want her around, he didn’t want to even talk to her.That cold indifference still lingered in her mind.Just one hour and ten minutes ago, he walked past her as though she was never there.He couldn’t be the one.Yet the doubt would not leave her.Her heart pounded. “Who could it be?” she murmured. But there was no time to think of an answer.Her brother mattered more right now.If Brandon was truly awake, that meant they were two left in freedom as a family. As a Kingston. And with two heads they could make their family rise again.That single hope pushed every other thought aside.She rushed out of the hospital and entered into her car.Her movements were quick, almost restle
Chapter 70 Brandon Suggested
“I knew it!” Brandon clenched his fist weakly. But his expression showed the strength he intended.The realization settled heavily on him, yet it also gave him a strange sense of clarity.“I have been trying to solve this puzzle for long and my thoughts keep going to Liam.”Each word came with certainty now.“He is the only person we mistreated. The person we all cursed, looked down on and even slapped at any given chance our fingers inched. We did him dirty and it only made sense if we offended someone at the top.”The truth was bitter, but undeniable.“Grandfather was too fond of him. He disowned his own grandchildren and made him the favorite. It is not surprising that he made Sebastian his friend to make Liam his successor.”That past now explained the present too well.“Tell me. What then happened when you saw him at the penthouse?”His eyes fixed on Betty, needing every detail.Betty sighed again.The memory did not come lightly.The thought of it transitioned into a vision.It
