Chapter 71 Knelt
Her shoes clicked the ground as she arrived at the Kingsley conglomerate. She had never been here before but with the help of Google Maps, she located it easily.The journey there felt longer than it actually was, her thoughts constantly racing ahead of her.Over 60 years ago, when Sebastian founded the Kingsley Conglomerate, he wanted it to be situated in a place far from residential environment because of his vision for a vast company.That decision was not just about space, but control and authority.He achieved his aim, and built the vast large building in the non-residential area of Greenfield city which has now been officially recognized as the property of the Kingsley and no other company can build anywhere surrounding it. They cannot even near it.The isolation of the building made it even more intimidating.Betty glared at the massive building before her.Standing before it, she felt smaller than she expected.She knew, due to the law abiding by the building, she could not go
Chapter 72 Get Her Away
Edward placed his phone to his ear, his expression hardening as duty settled over him like a second skin. As Liam’s right hand, he had all the security under his command, and moments like this demanded precision, not hesitation.“Protocol 1, send the woman out of the premises.”“Yes, Sir!”The response was instant.A man in a black suit at the office behind the Kingsley Conglomerate rose immediately, his chair scraping faintly against the polished floor. His movements were calm, practiced, but there was a flicker of alertness in his eyes.Via the screen, he had seen the woman the moment she arrived.He watched how she sat in her car for a minute longer than necessary, her fingers tightening on the steering wheel before she sighed and checked her phone, as though gathering courage from something unseen.He watched how she stepped down from her car slowly, almost reluctantly, and then—without warning—knelt at the center of the road. Right at the front of the Conglomerate’s gate.The act
Chapter 73 Hand Letter
Betty stepped into her villa, arms hanging in defeat, her shoulders slumped as though the weight of the entire day rested on them. Beads of sweat covered her face, trailing down her temples and neck. She didn’t bother wiping them. She didn’t have the strength to.It was the late hour of night. The compound was quiet, almost too quiet, the kind of silence that pressed against the ears. Yet, her suit was soaked with sweat as though she had run a marathon in the heat of a burning afternoon. The exhaustion clung to her skin, heavy and suffocating.Her heart pounded unevenly, each beat echoing in her chest. Her hands were shaky, fingers trembling as she dropped her handbag carelessly onto the couch.Many years ago, Liam was someone that would appear before her at the snap of a finger.The memory hit her harder than she expected.She could even go as far as to use him as a carpet and step on him to work if she wanted to. She had that much control. That much power.But now…She let out a bro
Chapter 74 The Ridicule
Nine years ago, at the Greenfield National College, Becky was one of the famous cheerleaders, her name echoing through the halls with admiration and envy alike.Everyone adored her except for one person. Betty.And she never forgot how she spread lies about her in college, lies that slowly poisoned people’s minds until admiration turned into disgust and whispers turned into judgment.The memory lingered like a scar that refused to fade.“What are you doing here?” Becky asked, forcing a smile on her face, but her eyes told a completely different story. There was recognition there. And something darker.Betty cleared her throat, her fingers tightening slightly around the envelope in her hand. Seeing her reminded her instantly of what she did to her in college. And seeing her up close made it feel like it had all happened just yesterday, like time had not passed at all.“Hummm…” she opened her mouth, but the words refused to come out properly. They felt stuck, tangled in guilt and hesit
Chapter 75 Shock
Betty rose up immediately, her body trembling slightly as she exhaled a long, shaky sigh, trying to steady the whirlwind of emotions inside her.Though the record book at her fingertips was blank, she knew it instinctively: if Liam had indeed replied, the financial situation of the company could change in an instant. Just a single response from him could turn everything around. The thought alone made her heart race, her pulse hammering painfully in her chest.She closed the record book immediately, almost slamming it shut, and grabbed her bag with a sense of urgency. She strode out of the office, her heels clicking sharply on the polished floor, each step echoing her determination.“I will be back,” she said firmly, her voice carrying authority despite the tightness in her throat.“Yes, ma’am,” answered the secretary, her tone cautious, aware of the storm that Betty could be at any moment.Her feet clicked against the driveway as she stepped out of the car at the front of her villa.
Chapter 76 Bought The Ferra
The following day came with an overwhelming urge to carry out her intent. It wasn’t just a passing thought this time. It sat heavily in her chest, pressing against her ribs, refusing to be ignored no matter how hard she tried to distract herself.She stepped into her garage, her movements slow, almost hesitant, as though her body already knew what her mind was about to confront. The faint scent of dust and metal filled the air. Her gaze landed on it instantly.She looked at it, the Ferrari from five years ago. The one Michael bought for her for her birthday and the very one she drove recklessly, the very one Liam took the blame for.Her breath hitched slightly.She sighed seeing it, but this time, the sigh was heavier, burdened with memories she had long tried to bury.Before now, she had cherished the ride like a gem. It was her most expensive vehicle, a symbol of pride, of status, of everything she once thought mattered. Yet after that incident, she could not bring herself to sit be
Chapter 77 Sold It
“Ma’am, we have a buyer. He is offering 100,000 USD. What do you say?” Gabriel said on the phone.Betty paused. Her fingers tightened slightly around the steering wheel as the words settled in. She was back in her car, the engine still off, the silence inside wrapping around her like a cocoon she could not escape.Three minutes ago, before the call came in, she had already made up her mind to drive to the company. She needed to be seen. Her presence alone was a testament that she was not unserious with her position, that despite everything happening around the Kingston family, she was still standing, still fighting.By this, the board members would continue to see her dedication and her efforts to bring the company out of the shambles. She could already imagine their watchful eyes, their silent judgments, waiting for her to fail.But now, this call… it pulled her attention back to something even more important.“It’s not about the money, Gabriel,” she said finally, her voice firm, lea
Chapter 78 Another Plan
“Hi. I’ve been following up on your article. Do you mind if I meet you in person? I really have one or two things to discuss with you.” Betty pressed her finger on the send button on the screen.She didn’t blink immediately after sending it. Her eyes stayed fixed on the screen, as though willing a reply to come faster. Her heart beat just a little quicker, not out of fear, but anticipation. This step… this one mattered.Five minutes ago, she had searched the internet. “The Viral Gist blog,” she typed, her fingers moving faster than usual.She knew the blog since she was a kid. Back then, it had been something she stumbled on casually. Now, it felt like a tool. A weapon, even.They thrived on writing on trending news. What made them even more popular was that they already supported their articles with in-article pictures to buttress their points. They didn’t just talk, they showed. And that was why people believed them, why people kept coming back.Betty leaned back slightly in her sea
Chapter 79 The Green Field Fellowship Rehab
Lydia, the girl behind the viral gist blog, stretched her hand to Betty, her lips curving into a knowing smile that suggested she was already imagining the headlines this deal would create.“Good!” she said, collecting the cash. She didn’t rush. Instead, she counted it carefully, separating every 100-dollar bill from the 50-dollar bills with practiced precision, her fingers moving swiftly yet deliberately as though this was far from her first transaction of this kind.The faint rustle of paper filled the air between them, stretching the moment longer than Betty would have preferred.Twenty minutes later, Lydia finally looked up. “It’s complete,” she said with a satisfied smile, tapping the stack lightly against the table as though sealing the agreement.“Now you will see more of you on my blog,” she added, her tone carrying a subtle promise, or perhaps a warning. Without waiting for a response, she rose smoothly to her feet, adjusted her bag on her shoulder, and left the cafe without
Chapter 80 Liam Seeing This
“Master, you really want to see this.” Edward’s voice carried a quiet urgency as he stepped onto the golf course, his eyes fixed on Liam.Liam sat in the golf cart, one hand resting lazily on the steering wheel, but his gaze was anything but relaxed. Around him, three other carts were occupied by men in tailored suits—business investors who had come all the way from the USA to meet him.The deal had just been concluded.What remained was courtesy.They were already preparing to leave the course when Edward approached, his presence cutting into the calm atmosphere like a silent alarm.Liam turned slightly, his brows narrowing. “What is that?”“It’s about Betty, sir.” Edward replied, holding the tablet close to his chest as though what it contained carried weight.For a brief second, Liam said nothing. Then he exhaled lightly. “Okay, hold on.”He turned back to the investors, seamlessly shifting his expression into one of polite composure.One after another, he shook their hands firmly,
