Chapter 93
MICHAEL'S POVI scroll through the endless stream of comments on my tablet, each one more vicious than the last."This CEO is a fraud and a liar.""How dare he steal from sick people?""Lock him up and throw away the key."Isaac's response video plays on loop in my mind. His performance was masterful—the concerned uncle exposing his corrupt nephew, calling for justice and accountability. The man is a psychopath, but he's a convincing one.The door bursts open, and my manager rushes in, his face pale and sweaty. "Mr. Thompson, Isaac just posted his response video—"He stops when he sees me already watching it on my tablet."I'm aware," I say quietly."Have we been able to trace the source yet?""We're working on it, sir. Our tech team is doing everything they can, but Isaac's using encrypted channels and proxy servers. It won't be long before we track him down, though. I promise."I nod, though I'm not entirely convinced. "What about the original photo? Are we making progress getting i

SARAH'S POVI stand in the living room, my phone still in my hand, staring at my mother in disbelief. "Why would you do this? Why would you post Michael's private hospital photo online and create a fake fundraiser?"My mother's face instantly hardens into a defensive mask. "I was only trying to help a man in need! What's wrong with that?""Help him? You're stealing money using his image! That's fraud, Mother! That's—"The slap comes so fast I don't see it coming. My cheek burns from the impact, and I stumble backward, holding my face."You will speak to me with respect, young lady!" my mother shouts. "I am still your mother!""Tina, Sarah, please," Grandmother intervenes, her voice placating. "Let's all calm down. Sarah, you should speak more respectfully to your mother."I touch my stinging cheek, fighting back tears of anger and frustration. "Respectfully? She's committing a crime!""I saw that your husband was sick," my mother says, her voice suddenly softer, more reasonable. "I th

Mr. Shen stepped out of his villa, briefcase in hand, the morning sun already beating down on the pavement. Behind him, his wife's voice echoed from the doorway."Darling, where are you going? You didn't mention any meetings this morning.""I have business to attend to," he snapped, not bothering to turn around."But why aren't you taking your car? Should I have the driver—""If I decide to take a walk, that's my choice, not yours!" His tone was sharp enough to cut glass. "Stop questioning everything I do, woman!"His wife fell silent, and he heard the door close quietly behind him. Good. He didn't need her interference today.The briefcase felt heavier than usual as he walked along the street. It had been years since he'd walked anywhere—men of his status didn't stroll like common pedestrians. The whole situation irritated him, but Isaac had insisted on discretion.As he passed a corner store, a homeless child with matted hair and torn clothes approached him, holding out a dirty hand

MICAHEL'S POVThey think they can bury me with noise. Let them try.“Mr. Chen, you read what I sent?” my manager’s voice trembled a little. He stood at the foot of my bed with his phone like it was the only proof that I was still real.“What did Isaac post this time?” I asked. My throat still hurt. Talking burned. Holding power hurts more.“He’s gone bigger.” He tapped the screen and pushed the speaker toward me. A distorted video played. Isaac’s face filled the ward in close-up, dark circles and thin lips, voice slick and practiced.“Look at him,” Isaac sneered in the recording. “Breathing through tubes. Acting weak. How long before our company folds because of one liar? Call the board. Ask for an emergency vote. Or keep apologizing while the company dies.”A cough of contempt escaped me. “Pathetic,” I said. “He sounds like a daytime TV host with a vendetta.”“He’s messaging the board now,” my manager said. “He sent it to Mr. Shen. He’s rallying people.”The speaker clicked. New voic
Chapter 89
MICHAEL'S POVThe morning routine at the hospital has become familiar—doctors checking my vitals, changing bandages, assessing my healing progress. I sit patiently on the edge of the bed while they work, my ribs still aching with every breath but noticeably better than yesterday.The door suddenly bursts open, and my manager stumbles in, sweating profusely and breathing like he's just run a marathon. His usually composed demeanor is completely shattered."Mr. Thompson, we have a serious—""Please wait outside," the lead doctor interrupts firmly. "We're not finished with Mr. Thompson's examination."My manager's phone rings, and he excuses himself, stepping into the hallway. Through the partially open door, we can all hear him shouting at whoever's on the other end."What do you mean it's already viral? Find out who posted it! I don't care if you have to—"His phone rings again, cutting off his tirade. He answers it with barely controlled frustration, pacing back and forth in the corri
Chapter 88
Sarah's POVThe moment I step through the front door, my mother is on me like a vulture."Sarah! Finally!" She looks me up and down, her eyes scanning for shopping bags or packages. "Where are all the things your so-called husband purchased at the auction?"I brush past her, heading for the stairs. "Good evening to you too, Mother. Nice to see you care so much about how my evening went.""Don't be dramatic. I can already tell he brought you nothing but embarrassment. If you had just listened to me and let me pair you with Derek—"I whirl around so fast that she takes a step back. "Did you know Derek would be at that auction?""What? Of course not! How would I possibly know that?"My grandmother appears in the doorway, wringing her hands. "Really, Sarah, how would we know which exact auction you were attending? These things happen all the time throughout the city.""Auctions like that aren't random or out of the blue, Grandmother. They're exclusive, invitation-only events. So stop acti
