Barbara’s eyes widened, and she stood up quickly. “Charlotte… this is wonderful!” she gasped, reading through the message. “This is it. This is your way back in! They’re still loyal to you.”She grabbed Charlotte’s hands and squeezed them with an urgency that made Charlotte’s pulse quicken. “Don’t waste a second. First thing tomorrow morning, send the money. Do whatever it takes. This could be the beginning of you reclaiming your throne at Elysian Bloom.”Charlotte nodded, barely able to contain the flurry of emotions rushing through her. Her heart pounded with a mixture of anxiety, disbelief, and desperate joy. After everything that had happened—being hospitalized, declared missing, practically erased from her own company—this message felt like a lifeline. Like proof that not everything had fallen apart.Just then, John appeared in the doorway, drawn by the sound of raised voices.“What’s going on?” he asked, his brow furrowed in concern.Barbara turned to him with a smile so wide it

It was a message—from someone claiming to represent Rhine Corporation.> Dear Ms. Charlotte Sullivan,As the recognized CEO of Elysian Bloom, we request that 50% of the most recent $10 billion project disbursement be returned to Rhine Corporation as part of the agreed revenue-sharing clause. This pertains to all payments made over the last one month. We appreciate your swift cooperation.—RC Accounts DivisionCharlotte blinked, rereading the message as confusion flooded her senses. Her brows furrowed, and she whispered aloud, “They still… see me as the CEO?”Her heart began to pound—part disbelief, part fragile hope. It felt like a glimmer of validation breaking through the darkness she had been drowning in. After weeks of silence, of being shut out of boardrooms and forgotten in news cycles, someone still acknowledged her. Rhine Corporation, no less—one of Elysian Bloom’s most powerful and long-standing partners.It didn’t make sense.She hadn’t imagined a scenario where they would

As Ava stepped into the room, she was stunned to see Charlotte standing there—alive.Her feet halted mid-step. Her eyes widened in disbelief, her mouth opened slightly, but no words came. Her breath caught in her throat. For a moment, it was as though the world had stopped spinning.She was frozen, speechless, struggling to make sense of what she was seeing. Charlotte. Alive. Not on a ventilator. Not in a hospital bed. Not a lifeless corpse as they had assumed—but standing tall, breathing, her eyes filled with fire.The room seemed to throb with tension, heavy and hot like a storm about to break.Before Ava could even react, Barbara stepped forward, her heels clicking sharply on the marble floor. Her expression was hard, her voice sharper.“How could you?” she snapped, voice ringing across the room like a gunshot. “You knew Charlotte wasn’t dead. And yet you still took over Elysian Bloom. You spread news of her death like it meant nothing—like she meant nothing.”Ava blinked, stunned

John stood in the living room, face hard with fury upon hearing how everyone including his family had assumed Charlotte dead, how Ava had already taken over Elysian Bloom, and how the family believed Chloe might carry on Charlotte’s “sweetness” once she was gone. It was betrayal, plain and cruel.“I’m done sitting back and watching them bury you alive,” John had said then, his voice low and resolute. “Come with me.”Within minutes, they were at the Sullivan family mansion.The soft thud of the front door closing behind them echoed faintly as Charlotte, Barbara, and John stood on the polished steps of the Sullivan family mansion. The tension was palpable.Beside him, Barbara clutched Charlotte’s arm protectively, her eyes wet and red, heart still reeling from the conversation with Grandma Sullivan. Charlotte, though quiet, was simmering with fury and disbelief at what her own blood had done in her absence.Grandma Sullivan sat quietly with a teacup in her hand. She looked up from her

“What the hell?” Logan's voice cut in the silence.He hissed, the remote clattering onto the floor.Charlotte turned to face him, startled by the edge in his tone. But when she saw his expression—rigid, jaw clenched, eyes burning—her stomach dropped. Logan didn’t explode easily. But now, he looked seconds from it."They didn’t even wait a full month. They said—They promised to give you one month. One month to recover, to return. They swore it was temporary, not knowing this is what they were planning all along.”Charlotte felt the air escape her lungs, her hands trembling. Then furiously, she stormed toward the stairs. She needed to tell her parents about this!Logan said nothing, only watched her go, his own rage simmering beneath the surface.---Barbara was upstairs folding towels when Charlotte burst through the door.“Mom,” she said, breathless, “turn on the TV. Now.”Barbara frowned. “Charlotte, what’s going—”“They replaced me,” Charlotte said, voice quivering. “Elysian Bloom
Chapter 118
The two doctors stood stiffly in the ward, red-faced and flushed, as though the floor beneath them had begun to crack open. Shame clung to them like wet clothes. Their gazes flickered between Charlotte—alive, awake, and very much breathing—and Logan, who stood beside her like a storm held back by sheer will.One of them cleared his throat awkwardly. “We… we acknowledge the mistake. Nobody is above error. It’s… it’s just that Mr Brooks was lucky with those unverified herbs. That doesn’t make him a—”Logan cut him off coldly, his voice sharp and low. “A champion?” He tilted his head slowly, mock curiosity hardening into contempt. “You people were ready to bury her without even confirming she was dead. You called the police instead of doing your jobs. And now you want to hide behind ‘nobody is above mistake’? You don’t deserve to wear those white coats.”The second doctor opened his mouth, but then caught Barbara’s withering glare. It was a look so biting, so silently accusatory, t
