Upon hearing this, the young secretary couldn’t help but stood froze, unable to process what Liam had done to enrage her superior so thoroughly.

But luckily, she recovered soon enough.

“Yes, Miss Rennard,” Melanie replied sharply with a crisp nod before quickly excusing herself and hurried off toward the HR department.

Meanwhile, in the procurement department’s conference room, Liam Hayes reclined confidently in his seat.

He and Ava were alone, surrounded by design boards, prototype catalogs, and samples from Elysian Bloom’s spring collection.

Unaware that his downfall was imminent, Liam spoke smugly.

“Ava, this partnership is foolproof. You’ll take over Elysian Bloom and Charlotte’s name will be nothing but dust in this city. How are you thanking me for it?”

Meanwhile, he couldn’t help but sneak a glance at Ava’s ample cleavage, swallowing hard.

Lifting his wine glass, Liam too a sip of the premium Franci red.

    The night was eerily calm outside the hospital. A gentle breeze swayed the trees along the pavement, and the faint hum of city life in the distance gave no hint of the storm about to break. Inside, fluorescent lights illuminated the long corridors where patients and visitors moved about in hushed tones. But outside, the assassins were waiting.This time, they were determined. The last attempt had failed, and Harry had been furious. Yet instead of cutting them off, he had promised them a larger reward, more than what he had already paid. “No mistakes,” he had said. “I don’t care how you do it—Charlotte must not leave that hospital alive.”With the new promise of wealth and Harry’s wrath driving them, the assassins came prepared. Black jackets, concealed weapons, and a plan that left little room for escape. They fanned out strategically—some surrounding the hospital entrances to block any way out, while two others slipped quietly inside, blending with the night staff and visitor

    Harry continued to pace around the room, thinking of what to do next. Rage simmered beneath his skin, eating at him with every passing second. He had built his reputation on fear and dominance, yet recently he had been stripped of both.He leaned back in his leather chair, staring at the ceiling as his mind wrestled with one thought: revenge. He would not let it end this way. He would make Charlotte pay. He would make Logan pay. He would erase their smug faces from existence and reclaim the power that had slipped from his hands.Just then, a sharp buzzing sound broke through the silence. Harry frowned and glanced at the table where his phone lay vibrating. The number flashing on the screen was unfamiliar, but the pattern was one he recognized. He snatched it up quickly and pressed it to his ear.“Mr Sullivan,” a gravelly voice said on the other end, “we’ve found that bitch, Charlotte Brooks.”Harry’s heart skipped. He sat upright in his chair, every nerve in his body alert. “W

    Charlotte was rushed to the hospital.The doctors had run several tests.Barbara sat on one side of the room, her hands clasped tightly together in prayer. John paced slowly near the window, his brows furrowed in anxious thought. Logan stood at Charlotte’s side, his fingers interlaced with hers, trying to hide his own fears beneath a mask of strength.For days, Charlotte had been unwell, and the family’s anxiety had only grown heavier. When the doctors finally reentered the room, their faces softened with relief. One of them cleared his throat before speaking gently.“Mr. Brooks, Mrs. Brooks,” the doctor said with a calm smile, “after conducting a series of tests, we can confirm that Charlotte is pregnant.”The words seemed to echo in the air. For a second, silence consumed the room as though everyone was trying to process what had just been said. Then Logan’s face broke into a wide, almost boyish grin. He clasped Charlotte’s hand tighter, his eyes sparkling.“Pregnant?” he repeat

    Charlotte pulled back slightly, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “I have to show my parents immediately!” Without waiting for a response, she dashed toward the house, Logan following calmly behind her, carrying the neatly wrapped package. Her excitement was infectious; she could hardly contain herself.As she reached the front door, Charlotte fumbled with the keys for a moment, finally stepping inside and calling out, “Mom! Dad! You have to come see what Logan bought for me!”Barbara and John appeared almost immediately, curiosity written all over their faces. They were not expecting such urgency, nor could they guess the magnitude of the gift awaiting them. Charlotte beamed, holding the box up as if it were a treasure chest.Barbara’s eyes widened the instant she saw the gift. “Charlotte, what is this?” she asked, stepping closer. Her hands hovered over the package, hesitant to touch it until she knew more.Charlotte’s excitement bubbled over. “It’s from Logan! He got it for

    The announcement hit Harry like a physical blow. As the emcee’s words rang out, stating that Portal Construction was banned from all future conferences and would never again be permitted to participate, Harry’s face turned a sickly shade of pale. His earlier shock had been intense, but this new development plunged him into an even deeper pit of frustration and shame. The humiliation he felt this time was unlike anything he had experienced before—far worse than the initial sting of being overlooked.All eyes in the hall seemed to shift toward him. Attendees, judges, and colleagues, some of whom had previously been deferential or mildly envious, now watched with a mixture of judgment and curiosity. The smugness he had carried so confidently just hours ago had evaporated entirely, leaving only embarrassment and the realization of how publicly he had overestimated himself. His chest tightened as every stare dug into him, a physical manifestation of the shame consuming him.Harry lower

    The hall erupted in applause, a wave of excitement and admiration rolling over Charlotte as she reached the podium. Every head turned toward her, some faces glowing with genuine delight, others caught in stunned admiration. The recognition of Elysian Bloom’s achievement was unmistakable, and Charlotte felt a rush of warmth mixed with pride as she accepted the congratulations extended by colleagues, competitors, and attendees alike.Amid the clapping and cheering, Charlotte noticed Logan standing from his seat across the room. The crowd parted slightly as he made his way toward her, each step measured and confident. Logan’s presence carried an authority that commanded attention without demanding it. When he reached Charlotte, he extended his hand first, then embraced her warmly in a congratulatory hug. The gesture was public, deliberate, and yet it held genuine sincerity—a rare combination that drew the eyes of the entire hall.“Congratulations, Charlotte,” Logan said, his voice c
