Three days later:“It seems every news outlet is on this matter, young master. There are too many articles. We're trying our best, but—”“It's Rose. She's directly controlling the ugly narratives,” Drake's teeth clenched. “I saved her. She could have died, but I intervened and this is what I get?”“Lydia must have poisoned her mind. They're best of friends,” Silas placed a hand on the table. “She tried everything to keep you in jail, too bad, she couldn't succeed,”Drake picked up a glass of water and took a sip. “How's plans for the resort?”“Yes, young master, the deal sealing for the government resort is in motion. I'll be meeting with the legal department to further discuss the contract,” He paused. “This is a resort that'd bring in $80 billion revenue annually. We have to go for it, young master,”“Great. Are we the only perspective client?” “No, there are a lot of other people eyeing the deal since it's a favourable deal,” Silas said. “If we announce our intention to join, ther

About ten minutes later, the police arrived and Lydia perched herself by the side of the corridor with her sunglasses on, completely hidden from plain sight as she watched Drake getting led out of the hospital by the three officers.Two of the officers had him by the arms to ensure he won't escape. His face looked stunned but still calm. His expensive suit was wrinkled, his dark hair disheveled, but he looked strangely composed.He didn't fight them, but his jaw were clenched tight as he kept pleading his innocence. “This is all a big misunderstanding. Yes I hit her, but I didn't run away. I mean I brought her here to this hospital. Why would I do that if I didn't have her best interest in heart?”“You will have your chance to speak at the station, Mr. Drake,” one of the officers replied.Layla nodded. Beautiful. Let him suffer. Let him he disgraced. He hit her friend. He could have killed her.As the officers led him past her spot, his head turned slightly as if he could sense her pr

Lydia remained frozen to the spot. She tried to move, but it felt like her feet had been cemented to the floor. Drake? How was he here and with her friend?Could they…could they possibly know each other?No, that was impossible. Rose only hung out with the high and mighty, so there was no way she could know someone like him.Drake was bent now over Rose, as if checking if her pulse. He made the action look so caring that she had to turn her head away slightly.Everything around her was a messy blur of the nurses rushing past her, the machine beeping in the distance. The nurses placed Rose's body on the stretcher, wheeling her away.“No…wait,” She coughed as she ran after the medical team that was wheeling Rose away.“Wait!”But nobody was listening to her because they couldn't wait. She kept running down the corridor. Then turned left, following the signs that read “Operating Rooms” in bold letters. But then she halted in her tracks, hiding in a corner the instant she saw Drake stan

Lydia pressed on the bandage on Leo's face and he squirmed in pain. “Ouch, that's hurt…! Be careful,”Lydia didn't say anything, instead, she lowered the pressure on the wound, tapping it slowly.“I'll have to call in the nurse to change the bandages,” He muttered, but when Lydia still didn't say anything, he sighed and turned to face her. “Okay, what's the problem?”Lydia crossed her arm, glaring at him. “Don't you get it? Don't you get how pathetic our lives have become? Look at you almost killed by that monster, and how about me? How about my mother? Is this how we're going to remain forever?”“I told you I'm working on something,”Lydia chuckled sourly. “We didn't end up going for the bidding and I'm not sure that your partners even looked into my case. Right now, it seems all hope is lost…”“Don't talk like that. They—”She stood up, walked over to a document rack at the corner of the room and brought out a torn piece of paper which she waved in his face. “This is the document c
Chapter 92: Past Memories.
“BUSINESS TYCOON, LYDIA WINTERS ON THE VERGE OF BEING PERMANENTLY SUSPENDED BY HER BOARD OF DIRECTORS.”Drake's lips curled into a smile as he stared at the headline on his phone screen. The photo beneath it was even better.Lydia. She is standing alone in the middle of a parking lot, eyes staring blankly at the walls of her company as if wishing she could mysteriously crawl back into it.He zoomed into her face.She looked like a lost puppy as if someone just ripped her entire world apart.God, this felt so good.A sharper smile tugged at his lips as he scrolled through more photos. There was one that her shoulders were slumped. There was another one where she was staring dreamily at a little child's hands locked with his mother.And his personal favorite…well, he loved it so much because in the photo, she was standing in the midst of reporters and looking like a complete idiot that she was.Unable to hold back myself, he laughed.This was perfect. So absolutely perfect.“Young maste

But instead of responding, Silas just stood there with a sneer, then he forced a huge lump down his throat to hide his loud laughter. He walked slowly over to stand beside DrakeShane frown at the nonchalance before he scoffed. "You're with him?""What did you think? That I'll continue being at your beck and call? I choose the winning team where you don't belong," Silas smiled. His voice was thick with pure disgust for the bleeding fellow. "My loyalty belongs to Master Drake. You were completely foolish to ever think I would betray him for a miserable rat like you.""You?!" He spluttered. "Do you want me to go ahead and expose your past? Have you thought about what people would say? How the world would react when-""From where I am, I think you should be more worried about your life,"Shane opened his mouth, then snap it shut when no words came out. His face squeezed into a disbelieving scowl as the terrifying realization finally hit him hard. The weight of fear paralyzed his muscles
