Thirty minutes later…
Robin reached the signing event venue and his car stopped right on the red carpet. Immediately, all eyes were on the car, wondering who owned such a luxurious ride. Almost everyone there wanted to see who the leader of Julls Corp was and speculations were going around.
However, when Robin got out of the car, the guests frowned in confusion. They had never seen him before. He looked sophisticated and elegant but they couldn't associate his face with any big family in the city.
But then Robin didn't mind their gaze, he was escorted straight into the venue and ushered to the front side of the venue.
A large table was assigned to the officials of Julls Corp and also Carla Kia who would be signing a contract with them.
Robin wasn't fazed about seeing his ex-wife who betrayed him. To him, everything was just business and profits now so, he sat down, took a light snack, and started to eat before the event started officially.
On the other hand, at the entrance, the guests had gathered around Carla Kia who had just arrived.
They rushed to her, wanting to tap from her grace.
“Have you seen the chairman of Julls Corp?” They asked the one question they were all eager to know.
Carla stood there, liking the attention on her and she smiled proudly, “Of course. I had a little chat with him today. Don’t worry, I will introduce you all.”
She watched them grin and praise her. Her heart swelled in her chest, thanking Terry for putting her on such a high pedestal.
However, her date Terry was running late so, she decided to go sit. But as she approached the table, she spotted a familiar figure she never thought she would see.
His hair was sleeked perfectly and his face and jaw-line became accentuated. He was even more handsome than before but all these crumbled before her eyes when she recalled his cheating stunt.
“Robin?” She marched toward him with a fierce look. “What the hell are you doing here?”
Robin turned upon hearing her voice but then he gave her a little nod before turning around again.
“I am speaking to you!” His behavior irked her so much, that she yelled, drawing attention from the guests.
“I asked what the hell is a spineless man like you doing in a gathering of influential people?” She spat.
“Well…” Robin chuckled calmly. “If I am not here, the signing event won’t go on and your contract won't be signed. That’s all.”
“Haha…” Carla burst into a peal of mocking laughter. “Are you seriously saying that? A good for nothing like you? Are you trying to impersonate the chairman of Julls Corp?”
Hearing the chairman, some other guests quickly gathered around.
“Carla, are you saying that he is an impostor?” They asked.
“Of course. Because he is dressed in flashy clothes he probably borrowed, doesn't mean he is a big shot. He just wants to get into the high society!” She spat, her eyes spitting venom.
The other guests were already panicking, thinking Robin was there to harm them.
“Let’s get him out of here!”
“Security!”
They yelled, running around. Everyone wanted to cater to Carla, and so they took her word for it. However, Robin remained calm, shocking Carla.
“Are you done mobilizing your minions?” He sneered, pointing at the guests running around to get the security.
“You really have some balls, Robin. You failed to take credit for getting me the contract because I found out in time that Terry did it…”
“And now, you are here, trying to impersonate the chairman of Julls Corp. Are you stalking me?” Her eyes shone with pride and malice, feeling like she was a woman who was sought after by men.
“Do you want to get back together with me? You regret losing me, don’t you? And that is why you are trying so hard to prove that you are a real man here!” By this time, Carla was breathing heavily because of the spite she carried inside and the way she spewed out words.
Seeing her being so worked up, with her face all twisted up, Robin wondered how he was able to fall for her. The kind girl in his memory was meek, and kind, and had a beautiful presence but Carla…
“You have a lot of sick thoughts in your head, Carla. You just want to suit the sick narrative in your head. You claim Terry is the man you want. You cheated. Why don’t you go to him and leave me all alone!” Robin’s voice had a hint of warning that Carla couldn't deny.
“You…” She whispered, pointing a finger at him. “How dare you act all cocky? How dare you point accusing fingers at me when you cheated first!” She yelled, slamming her fists on the table.
The cutleries rattled and some fell off, startling them both.
“I cheated? What are you talking about?” Robin stood up to his feet, with a deep frown. Of all things he could tolerate, he couldn't tolerate a slander to his name.
“Oh, are you surprised I caught you?” She snickered, her angry self started to rummage through her back.
“Look at this!” She took out both jade rings, slamming them on the table angrily. “You gave Cora a ring, right? You gave her the second pair of this ring! You are the man she has been dreaming about!”
“You both cheated on me, under my nose! And yet you stand there, looking at me like I am the worst human on planet earth! You are a disgusting asshole, Robin!”

Broken And Dejected
Cora felt a pang of pain in her heart. However, she couldn't blame herself for just trying to show love. She had been damaged and bruised by Carla’s betrayal and her taunting words. In the next second, she staggered, her body almost falling back, but Robin caught her from behind. Her body was weak and frail, so he quickly carried her to the couch while he faced Carla. “Why…” Carla gritted her teeth, her nose and the lines on her forehead scrunching in disgust. “Why would you like that pretentious bitch? She is nothing like the capable woman you need by your side!”“Do you want someone who would always drag you down?” “That’s none of your business…” Robin shrugged. "But speaking of capable women. Are you really one?" He sneered, his eyes staring down at her mockingly.Carla felt his mockery deep within her bones. She had craved for his acceptance, wanted him all to herself after she realized her mistake, but Cora had to come in and destroy all that she had built.“I bet she doesn't
Confrontation 2
Cora was seething, hated the way Carla ignored her while she was still carrying the baggage of being locked up for days. And when she sat by Robin’s side, she lost it. Deep down in her heart, she hated the sight of them together. “Get off him! You bitch!” Cora yelled, and her hands flew straight at Carla, and in the next second, she hurled her off Robin’s side. The strength that rippled through her was like never before and swiftly, she threw Carla in the middle of the room, her back crashing into the glass table there. Cora breathed heavily, her chest heaving while she stared down at Carla who had her head dripping with blood. “Cora…” Carla was in shock, and coupled with the pain from her injured hand and leg, she felt so dizzy as if she was about to pass out. “Robin…” She cried, with shaky voice and tears streaming down her face. “Are you going to let her do this to me? Everything being said on the news is a lie! You saved me, right? You should believe me…”She rushed up to he
Confrontation
Two hours later…“We have her.” Mason walked into Robin’s luxurious home. He sat on the couch, his leg crossed over the other. “She has been transported to the guesthouse.” “Good.” Robin dropped the magazine in his hands. He had taken two days off work to concentrate on bringing Carla down the drain and he was doing it bit by bit. Breaking her wasn't enough for what she did to Cora. The so-called Chairman Wells who put a call across to her was all a facade. He did it all by himself and Carla had fallen directly into their trap. He walked up the stairs and reached his bedroom where Cora had been recuperating. As he walked in, she was already up on the bed, with a meek look on her face. She looked lost, as if she had been thrown into a deep abyss. There was a pale red mark on her face, though it was fading already, it was evidence of what she had gone through. “You are awake…” He got a glass of water from the jug by the bed and passed it to her. She took it, her hands shakily brou
Walk Of Humiliation
Carla froze, her hands moving to her face and her hair flailed by her sides to cover her face from everyone. But they had already seen her, as they all took up their phones to record her. “Shit…” She cursed as she quickly fished for her phone. At the same time, she rushed toward the elevators to quickly get to Terry’s office. However, the doors were locked, and nothing was working. “Terry, you bastard!” She cried. She never thought the news would blow up this much. It had just been a short while since the police raided her company building and now it was all over the news channels.She felt Chairman Wells was targeting her for no reason. It was against the code of conduct for their business!“Terry…pick up.” She dialed his phone over and over again and when he finally connected the call, she breathed a sigh of relief. “Where are you?” She barked into the phone. “I am right here…” He replied, his tone lazy as if fire had not been put under their bosom. “I saw you run into the compa
Former Promising Entrepreneur
“Hello, Chairman Wells.” Carla beamed as soon as she connected the call. Chairman Wells was her biggest guest at the business she now ran. “I know you received Cora well last night.”“Yes, I did. I got a little surprise too.” He replied, his voice calm on the phone and Carla didn't notice the shift in it.“Good.” She chuckled. “I am glad you liked it.” “Did you see the girl I sent you last night? How well do you like her?” She asked, referring to Daina whom she had sent to. “That’s a gift from me to you, on our continuous collaboration.”“You sent a gift?” “Yes.” Carla nodded. “Don’t worry. You can return her anytime you wish.”“I sent a gift to you too, Carla. I hope you enjoy it.”“What gift—”Beep! The call ended and she was left staring at her phone, her eyebrows furrowing. She felt something was quite off but she couldn't place it. And suddenly, the company’s intercom buzzed. At first, she ignored it but when it continued buzzing, she had to pick it up. “Boss..” Her assistan
Nowhere To Run To
Several hours had passed and right now, Chairman Wells was in the middle of a meeting with potential business partners. “Are you sure you can do what I ask?” He asked, his deep gaze sweeping through the room. “We are going against the prime minister and the board here, we can’t make any mistakes.”“Of course, we can. As long as our company doesn't go down. We will do whatever you want.” They replied. “Good.” Chairman Wells nodded. “I have laid the groundwork for you. I expect you to claim the Adams family wealth. I want something they have. Something they mustn't know they have.”“As you wish.” The business partners were more than eager to do whatever Chairman Wells said. After all, this was their chance to get their company back up again. Ever since James Westminster declared war on the Davenson family, all because of the bastard son Robin, all their investors and partners pulled out, claiming they didn't want the wrath of the board and the prime minister on them. They were all n
